They were running against a batshit insane senile cheeto and couldn’t win the election anyway. They refused to go left, they collaborate with devils like the cheneys and when we pointed out the writing on the wall, we were met with “russian disinformation farms” and “tankies” for having a fucking brain and seeing that moving right will not make racist sexist republicans vote for a black woman. And lo and behold, 94% of republicans voted for trump, FUCKING OBVIOUSLY. The only fucking reason Kamala didn’t run on being progressive was because at the end of the day, there’s no “lesser evil,” and we’ve all been saying this for fucking ever, the democrats are genocidal capitalist ghouls, and they will support america’s interests no matter how much blood is spilled and no matter how many people get stomped on by bigots controlling the white house, the senate, the supreme court (which the democrats just let get stocked with republicans) and probably the house too. And they don’t care. “Just give us money and make sure to vote blue next election” before they slink off into the darkness and begin their political pickpocketing two years from now. FUCK, now queer and genderqueer and bipoc people in america have to live with the republicans doing whatever they want for the next four years because GOD FORBID THE DEMOCRATS LISTEN TO A SINGLE FUCKING HING THEIR CONSTITUENTS SAY INSTEAD OF PLUGGING THEIR EARS AND SCREAMING “VOTE!”
i hate it here. every one of you redditors that posted shit like “i’m on the right side of history” while you refuse to leverage your one single fucking scrap of political power in this shitty dictatorship. fuck lemmy.world, fuck reddit, fuck libs for soypogging for kamala’s campaign and not using their eyes to see that there’s no difference in the end, the ghouls are ghouls.
Yeah it’s this right here. This was probably the single most successful election in the Democrat party’s history.
Election night was like an unskippable cutscene that was decided the moment the DNC torpedoed Bernie. Either they lose in 2020 or they megalose in 2024.
It’s not even necessarily that, they could’ve given us some sliver of compromise in 2020 with someone like Julian Castro who should’ve had enough establishment cred from being in the Obama admin to be good enough for them but even he was too far too the left for the party leadership plus he committed the cardinal sin of pointing out that emperor Joe didn’t wear his bathrobe to the debate so the media crucified him
They forced Genocide Joe on us as a way of mocking us and gaslighting the whole party into believing he isn’t senile was probably a big joke to them until it blew up in their faces
I think a bigger part of us not getting someone like Klobuchar or Castro is any Democrat with an actual political career didn’t want to be saddled with this loser election because the political climate is so hostile. Imagine being dumb enough to choose picking up where Genocide Joe left off with the “vibes based economy,” Ukraine, and Gaza all still happening and bringing heat on your administration before you are even inaugurated. It’s much safer (again, for their political careers) to grab the BlUe WaVe hype after a republican term.
