    Turns out she was basically right about everything… Who could have seen this coming?

        Its unfortunate she didnt bother committing to an alternative path on Israel. Trying to use the genocide as a way of shaming people for not voting for harris is pointless she (and the Democratic party generally) are just as committed to it as trump and Co are.

          she (and the Democratic party generally) are just as committed to it as trump and Co are.

          Flip that statement around and you see why not voting for her is reasonably seen as performative and massively counterproductive. Now the US government is controlled by a group who are just as commited to genocide as the dems, but also determined to harm as many others as possible too.

            Maybe she (and you) should have thought of that before committing herself to supporting a genocide, fucking over minority groups, and trying to gaslight the middle class on the economy.

            This is a problem of your own creation. Im looking forward to the repeat in 2026/28.

            Quite frankly im done with such nonsense and our country can rott for all i care at this point. We certainly earned it.

            And hilariously not voting for her is hardly performative. Its done exactly what needed to happen the Democratic party has completely lost all credibility with voters and is in massive turmoil because the base is absolutely abandoning them over their bullshit.

            They’ll either wake up and start actually passing policies their base wants or continue their rightward turn trying to fight for maga voters. Either way that will open up space for an actual left wing party to grow

      Too bad she wasn’t willing to do the things necessary to win votes and caused this mess.

        Yep, instead of hanging out with Liz Cheney she could’ve talked more about what she’d do to deal with the cost of living instead of leaving that lane wide open for Trump.
