You know...
It's weird how mind-blowingly silent moderates are about Kamala.
I haven't seen a single mocking comment about if she thinks supporting a genocide is still more important than winning the election.
Or being against healthcare reform...
Or being pro-border wall
Or against taxing the wealthy
Or being pro-fracking
Or any of the other ways she pissed off pieces of the Dem party because she wanted donations more than she wanted votes.
You know.... It's weird how giddy the 'progressives' are over the dismantling of cultural norms and suppression of marginal groups who at the very least would have maintained at least a status-quo quality of life rather than being used as a token to pin every social I'll on in a similar fashion to 1940s Germany...
She is currently irrelevant. Her only function is to be studied as an example of failure. I really don't care how she feels and will probably never care what she thinks ever again.
The damage is done, she has nothing left to offer me.
Mind blowing. My mind is blown. Why aren't people blaming Kamala for what Trump is doing? I just don't get it.
Shame-infused cowardice will do that to a person. And the deeper the shame, the more the cowardice will drive the excuses that steer them away from having to live with the consequences of their actions.
My point is:
No one asks if Kamala regrets all her rightwing moves that allowed trump to beat her.
Maybe because this is one of the few times it's personally bad for her?
Because no one is asking her anything. No one wants her to run again, no one is rallying behind her
She ran as basically "generic Democrat". She doesn't have the ideology of Bernie, she doesn't have the relevance of Obama or Biden, and by the end of the campaign she toned down the cutting responses that made Trump look weak and stupid - that could have at least made her part of the conversation
She's not being let off the hook, she's been cut out of the picture
I mean she got completely crushed and her political career is basically over. She was never very popular and she bungled the election in a most moronic fashion. Not much point in kicking her anymore is there?
Her and the DNC bungling the election is the reason why Trump is currently in office. These people are supposed to be the opposition party, remember?
I feel like you just repeated half of my comment and then didn't address anything I said.
What's there to address? I'm agreeing with your assessment of her and just disagreeing with the part about "not kicking her when she's down" since she and the DNC leaders were what stood between us and Trump.
Cuz that's the whole point. My point was it's a waste of time to kick at her cuz she's fucking gone. She's done she's irrelevant. Why would I spend my time on that? The election already cooked her . Now the DNC leadership, who you've added to the conversation, they're active so yeah kick on them all you want and all you can. But she ain't even leadership. She done
If I challenged you to send one email or make one phone call to an entertainer, politician, business leader or anyone else that can get the ear of the press to say to them that they need to use that power to speak out against Israeli genocide every time you felt the need to bring up Kamala Harris, would you do it?
You know….
It’s weird how mind-blowingly obnoxious far lefters are about gEnOciDe.
Especially when we all spent months and months telling them this shit was going to happen. And all we heard in response was “gEnOciDe!” And now- it’s SO much worse than before, that you need to take your complaints and get in line behind:
• Systemic Government Mandated Racism
• The Official Erasure of any acknowledgement that trans people exist.
• A Nazi running our financial department.
• And the EXACT SAME FUCKING GENOCIDE THAT WAS HAPPENING BEFORE, but now- with a sparkling exodus to wash it down with.
Seriously… If you thought no one was paying attention back when you all were saying your ”bUt mUh bOtH siDeS tHiNG!”
if you thought you weren’t being heard then….
Rest assured that a LOT less people are listening to it now. And it’s not that anyone is in denial of it. Or minimizing it. No. It that now, everyone is too busy trying to figure out how to protect their children, their partners, and their parents from the consequent of
“mUh gEnoCiDe!:” Campaign 2024.
People are leaving America in droves to get away from the pain that we were told would be brought to us.
We all fucking tried to stop this from happening. We all told you what would happen. We pleaded to be taken seriously. And you called us genocide supporters and fascists. And now, all you can do is point your finger at someone that has absolutely NOTHING to do with this and whine about shit that doesn’t even matter any more?
Seriously… WTF? You people really will go to no end that exists within time or space to avoid the consequences of what you did.
Palestine is either going to be a glass crater, or all Palestinians will be banished from their homeland.
Tell me… honestly-
Did you see all this happening when you told everyone how “bOtH siDeS aRe tHe sAmE”?
This way of thinking is why democrats will never win again.
It's always everyone else's fault never their own.
This you?
Sure looks to me like you’re trying to blame the people that actually voted.
Go sit down.
Yeah learn how to read and what context means.
I mean, you just hypocritically accused me of something you did yourself. What context is there to miss?
I'm mocking the people who believe their own self-serving version of it because they can't see past their own bluemagabrainrot. You'll catch up one day buddy! Have a great day
Your comment history is hilarious when read in context with your response.
Self-serving indeed.
"I hope they all enjoy the beds they made. I sincerely hope the cacaphony of all the suffering they cause doesn't keep them all awake at night."
"Does anyone else remember the right losing anything with dignity?"
Quotes from bluemaga guy who is now losing his dignity trying to morally high ground people with stronger morals.
What was that bit about self-serving?
The difference is, I’m not the hypocrite that’s here trying to claim a moral high ground while doing the very thing I accuse others of doing. But I’ll have to admit- that’s quite the mining job you did to dig those quotes up. I’m glad you wasted your time reading my comments only to be shown the door.
Additionally, I can assure you that my dignity remains perfectly intact. I don’t pretend to be anything that I’m not- and I stand by everything I say.
Oh, and… that little “bLuE mAgA” accusation you all like to list to skirt the civility rules of lemmy is quite possibly the cringiest thing I’ve heard since the “skibidi” bullshit.
🤣 👍
