Kamala: [says and does rabid zionist shit]
Chuds in the twitter comments: YOU'RE A LEFTWING LUNATIC!
Me: I hate being sober for this.
Dems know they won't win over Republican voters by sliding to the right. It's just a convenient excuse for what they were naturally inclined to do anyway.
If it's any consolation, being not sober for stretches of it does not make it better
I got a hangover diving into ye olde Kopmala research files for when she was running. I concur - it isn't better....well maybe up front but I did have a dream about a plane taking off by itself too soon and crashing off the runway. Perhaps an apt metaphor to come.
Dems had a chance to earn my vote and instead they spit in my face.
It's perfectly fine to give someone a chance to be different, while expecting them to not change. That's not stupid.
It is naive and kinda stupid when talking about bourgeois politicians if we are being honest
I left a comment about ironically having hope, and I feel dumb
I now have hope that Trump might lose, which is cool and funny, but I maintain zero hope for any positive changes to the American regime. NO politician will hand that to us.
Yeah the u.s is kinda like that thing with ants going around a point until they can't walk anymore.

This thing
Take that part that feels hope and goes on rollercoasters of emotions and destroy it
Let's face it- there was no one among the pool of Biden replacement candidates that was going to lift a finger to stop the genocide. Some quotes:
Gretchen Whitmer: “We here in Michigan condemn this vile act of terrorism,” she said during an event at a synagogue days after Hamas’s October 7 attack in Israel. “We stand with Israel. And Israel has a right to defend itself.”
In April, Whitmer was asked by CNN whether she supports a permanent ceasefire in Gaza; she skirted the question.
Gavin Newsom: “Despite the horror, what I saw and heard from the people of Israel was a profound sense of resilience. A commitment to community and common purpose, especially in these most difficult of times,” he said in a statement after his trip on October 20. “That’s the Israeli spirit. And it’s also the California spirit.”
Josh Shapiro: In April, he likened pro-Palestinian student protesters to the Ku Klux Klan. The campus protests, however, have been largely peaceful, and student leaders say accusations of anti-Semitism misrepresent their aim: to encourage their universities to divest from Israeli companies linked to the country’s human rights abuses.
“We have to query whether or not we would tolerate this if this were people dressed up in KKK outfits or KKK regalia making comments about people who are African American in our communities,” Shapiro told CNN.
Pete Buttigieg: But months later, he appeared to change his position. Asked whether he would pledge to place conditions on aid to Israel to prevent annexation, he said: “If you’re asking me to commit to withdrawing American support for Israel, the answer is no.”
Libs furiously insisting you still have to vote for a candidate that has openly condemned you for being against genocide.
"unpatriotic protesters"
Straight up 1970s South African
moment right thereIt sickens me to see how many "leftists" were just so desperate to finally stop caring about any of this and just go back to worshiping the Democrats.
I prefer to call them 'temporarily embarrassed liberals'
I do want to stop worrying about all this shit and get back to the grill... Only way that happens is if it stops, there's reparations, and communism finally takes hold. There will be no reprieve from hell world.
You can’t expect much from NATO-leftists. They’ve been scum since they started calling themselves Trots.
She has no political instincts whatsoever.
She could just sit back and disassociate herself from everything Biden has done but she's really going to go ahead and tie herself to supporting genocide before the election.
that record-breaking donation surge after Biden announced was only made possible by her willingness to stay the course
Yep. It was all 10x match money the bribers were holding back from
.2 weeks ago
Donors to hold about $90mln in pledges if Biden remains on ticket -NYT
3 days ago
Kamala Harris breaks donation record and raises $81 million in a single day
I don't know how tf people read that title and didn't immediately drop Harris.
If you raise 81 million in a single day, you got all that money from super pacs. Regular people aren't feeling you, and even if they did 1 million a day would've been incredible.
She's not for regular people, she's no different than Biden or Trump.
I'm getting major "emperor has no clothes" vibes from her campaign .
Sure. Do that behind the scenes privately reassuring the donors then.
In public? Benefit from people not associating you with it all. Clean slate.
I'm with you. This is political malpractice. They had a unique opportunity to pivot to slightly different rhetoric that might win votes while not obligating them to anything. The undisputed heavyweight champion of meaningless word salad decided that this was the one issue where she needed to be explicit. I guess they'd rather lose than give anyone the impression that public opinion affects policy.
look at how Israel's politicians talk about Biden for pausing one single shipment of one type of munition while giving them every other thing they want for almost a year. The money wasn't going to show up if there was any public distancing whatsoever, Zionists require absolute public devotion
I think the money is contingent on publicly staying the course
She exists in the context of all in which she lives and what came before her.
Burning the flag is a constitutionally, supreme court protected right. It's patriotic AF.
Keep talking
please keep talking and show everyone the fascist you are.Killer Kamala will replace Genocide Joe. We will protest her just as much as she has blood on her hands too.
I hate this country
Even the unbelievably low bar of "don't support genocide" is too big of an ask
Never really
But for the 5th straight "most progressive candidate ever" people should expect better than this, surely.
glad to know she's carrying on the mantle of trying her best to lose
Other than the Michigan arabs thing which is definitly material, I tbh dont think enough people care about stuff like this for this to even slightly move the needle. Like sentiment against Israel is growing but I polls show its nowhere near the chief concern. And all this brat meme bullshit has the zoomers that were deflated by Biden back in line.
Dems... this is the 7th week in a row you've shown the Most Progressive Candidate In American History in class
Well, Biden has a Tara Reade up on her so there's that.
The bar to win (vs Trump) is insanely low and one simple thing she has to do, and just failed to do, is yank the chain around Israel's neck.
Stop caving to the most racist, frothing at the mouth pieces of shit like Greenblatt.
You could actually counter the antisemitism from the ADL and all the liberal media by explicitly stating that Israel DOES NOT represent the views and will of all Jewish people. You could state that a huge portion of those protestors who were arrested were Jews against Israel doing genocide while hiding behind their Jewish identity and the Holocaust. I guess that requires a sliver of backbone and honesty which any American politician in her position is apparently fully incapable of even pretending to have.
But barring a total and full reversal on this rhetoric after her formal nomination (approximately 0% chance), she's going to lose the swing states like Michigan the same as Biden was losing them for the same reasons.
It's just pathetic how tone deaf and stupid liberals are. Kamala doesn't have the excuse of being 8000 years old insulated in a bubble by her family. She's just a wishy-washy political player who is surrounded at the moment by ideologically driven people giving her bad advice instead of being objective and realizing that the insane antisemitic bullshit, condemning anti-Israeli protesters as antisemites, is literally going to lose the election. Is it issue number one for racist-ass Americans across the board? No, unfortunately. But it is a big enough issue in specific states she MUST win.
From pure electoralism standpoint, this is top tier fuck territory. It's not just my own hatred for Israel either. Libs seem hyper focused on that aspect and it blinds them to the objective reality that Muslims, Arabs, Palestinians, and sympathizers with Palestinians are simply not going to vote for the president in key states. Is this really so hard to comprehend? They're not "coming around" on genocide especially when the new nominee is just continuing forward with the exact say rhetoric. The easiest thing to change, how she speaks about protesters, and she couldn't do it. So pathetic. Sad!
Israel is an important outpost of the American Empire, it will not be discarded. They would rather lose.
American Empire is over
"You know it, I know it, everyone knows it."
Also, I would argue, that bending to all the insane reactionaries like Bibi, Greenblatt, etc. and fully enabling and furthering genocide only guarantees and quickens the demise of Israel. If they actually cared about maintaining the outpost, they're doing exactly the opposite thing to keeping it. Allowing Palestine as a state and forcing Israel to stand down vs Iran and other regional powers would be how you keep it around... longer anyway. They're living in 1991 forever thinking the US can do literally anything it wants and support anything it wants, and actually it MUST support this because showing "weakness" would be worse than defeat. It's not 1991 though and the Zionists are hellbent on replicating the Führer bunker but on the nation state level
It is not over, but it is slowly declining. It is dangerous to underestimate enemies.
And Israel is serving its purpose well, so they don't see the need to change the approach.
I don't think we're there yet. The first and most obvious indicators will be US closing it's foreign military bases, and leaving the south China sea.
Yep, if they discard Isntreal, they might as well close up shop on the whole empire and it's 800+ bases.
It's just pathetic how tone deaf and stupid liberals are.
It's difficult to look smart when you're paid to be stupid. They don't need to win to fundraise.
Idk like I said elsewhere something absurd like 2% of voters said that Palestine is a concern for them at all on who they're voting for. I dont have the source but I dont tihnk it bears out the idea that this will matter anywhere but Michigan specifically and there only because of the arab population. I dont think it'll matter in the other swing states. Maybe I'm my own sort of doomer and my doom is that I dont think people by and large consider Palestine something you change your voting patterns over. But I think the young people who made the difference in 2022 who were deflated by Biden were moreso defalted by his age than Palestine, and are now back on board, and care more about abortion and queer rights than Palestine. Especially abortion.
I just dont think this moves the needle.
The "uncommitted vote campaign" during the "primary" says otherwise.
Although of course you are ultimately correct, as I acknowledged before, it isn't a concern for most voters. True enough. But when the margin of victory is 40000 votes (or w/e) in 2020 and 100K people vote uncommitted indicating they won't vote unless policy changes... the math maths there unless those people were lying. We won't know that until November.
It switched at least one swing state vote: mine.
I was going to suck it up and vote for her, but her comms team had to put out this shit when they could have just said nothing. Fuck Killer KKKamala
All she had to do is keep her mouth shut on Israel-Palestine and pretend to be progressive to win back most of the uncommitted voters. The reflex to bootlick Israel is too strong
Burning flags
Doing infinite genocide
Most progressive candidate in American history
