    She’s basically an '80s republican so I’d say the praise was genuine. The fact that we were forced to choose between her and the orange fascist wasn’t really a choice. It was literally the lesser of two evils and a lot of people decided not to choose because of it. Which is why we are here.

    As much blane as republicans have for how fucked up things are right now, democrats share a good portion of the blame for shoving this tool down our throats.

    And before you all start in with the “if only you had bothered to vote”. I fucking did vote. It didn’t end up mattering.

      The “Not Voters” were such an insignificantly small portion of voters (ie, people who usually vote but abstained or voted 3rd party in 2024) that even if every one of them voted for Kamala, she still would have lost. Her failure was instead due to the Democrats fundamental refusal to see that the status quo does not work for regular people.
