[Gestures vaguely at goddamned everything] for starters.
She might not give us all ponies and blowjobs, but literally none of this dystopian nightmare would be happening under Harris.
Sure. But that's not going to change the fact that she fucking lost because she was a terrible candidate for Trump and ran a Republican campaign. The voters are not responsible when both parties coronate their candidate in back rooms.
Yes the voters are responsible!
It's called making the most intelligent choice, seeing the bigger picture, and doing harm reduction. I am beyond sick of the blame shifting being done to justify people not taking this election seriously .
The threat of Trump 2.0 was apparent and not even remotely a secret. if people didn't see that or take that seriously, it is their fault.
The problem is, unless you're very wealthy, it's obvious the current system we're living under strips workers of their material needs. It's easy as a populist to say, "I'm going to smash this system" and get a bunch of people who desperately need a way out to vote for you.
Harris unfortunately, and this is systematic with the DNC, is tied to the material interests of the capital class. There was only scolding but no vision of a materially beneficial future for Americans.
No talks of universal healthcare, universal pre k or going after big business. Hell, she was going to continue to genocide Palestinians.
I voted for her, but we've been fucked by both parties since I've been born. I want, nay need a leftist candidate who will break the system for us but I haven't seen one yet.
