    Seriously, can this woman just disappear from existence? Like at least Biden learned to keep his fucking mouth shit after killing American democracy, or maybe that’s just the cancer.

      She was ruthlessly & systematically sabotaged by the Biden establishment, by male-supremacists, AND by white-supremacists.

      & the left felt it ought coast on its victorious-feelings, which … handed leverage to their opponents…

      She never had a fair chance.

        You may be right, I can’t say. I didn’t pay much attention to the campaign, because my vote was decided as soon as Trump got the nomination.

        My vote was 99% decided before that. I’ve seen one GOP candidate that I was open to the possibility of voting for, but he didn’t win the nomination, and since Obama was our candidate that year, it wouldn’t have mattered if he did.

        Ah, yes, the Biden establishment, those guys who gave her the nomination. They totally secretly wanted her to lose. And all those radical leftists who voted for her while holding back vomit, they’re the reason she lost. It’s absolutely not her being a donor-friendly neoliberal ghoul being backseat driven by donor-friendly neoliberal ghouls.

          A large number of leftists demonstrably didn’t vote for her, actually. 81,283,501 people voted for Biden and 75,017,613 people voted for Harris. That’s the sole reason we have a second Trump term.

              As a result of “First Past the Post” electoral system being what is currently in place, voting for the DNC candidate in the presidential race is the left-most position. They voted for Biden, against the GOP, therefor they are left.

                  Biden audited the rich, expanded green power, investigated monopolies to deny mergers, and protected gay marriage. Not only was Joe Biden comparatively left but also globally left.

                  If you don’t consider left to be progressive, opposed to right as in conservative, then what does it mean to you?

      6 million people who voted for Biden did not for Kamala, and there is a large measurable shift in favor of Trump among Gen Z compared to the trend of previous generations moving left.

        Among MALES, not among females.

        There was an article, perhaps the FT, which showed drastic divergance between the 2 populations of the same age.

        https://theconversation.com/women-used-to-be-more-likely-to-vote-conservative-than-men-but-that-all-changed-in-2017-we-wanted-to-find-out-why-214019

        shows a HARD left-swing for women, XOR a HARD right-swing for men, in the UK, ( both would look the same, on that chart ) only-recently.

        That trend, though, is global, male-supremacism hand-in-hand with the upswing of male fascism/authoritarianism.

        Males generally back male-supremacy.

        Females generally do not.

        “journalism” nowadays works hard to NOT show the correct granularity-of-view, showing what’s actually going on: the oversimplifications & dumbing-down are too beloved of the establishment.

          A majority of male youth voted for Trump but EVEN AMONG FEMALES there was a large shift to the right.

          In 2020 Biden had a 36 point lead in young women over Trump, while Harris only had a 24 point lead. Thats a huge shift.

        Jumping the shark means that the writers have convoluted the premise of a character or an overall show to a point where it is a ridiculous quasi-parody of its original plot

        Its a reference to Fonzi literally jumping over a shark on waterskis in Happy Days

      It absolutely is true that she backed Netanyahu, & that cost her significant support.

      I don’t know why, but she did.

      Losing the country, however, because of that … doesn’t help the Palestinians.

      NEITHER candidate was good for them!!

      Trump’s Gaza converted into a resort … isn’t good for them, either!

      Maybe, possibly, she could have been got to see the light, on that issue: I don’t know.

      The genocide in the US is going to make Gaza’s genocide look … like a civilized sunday picnic.

      Trump’s nearly there, all he needs now is the Insurrection Act, & then he can activate his de-naturalization law, to remove citizenship from all the Democrats, & then they all get ICE’d.

      Netanyahu’s war against the lives of Palestinians is going to be tiddlywinks, compared with Trump’s war against the hated “woke”, within the US.

      Not tens-of-thousands, but millions, will die, in that, soon-enough.

        AIPAC funding.

        That’s the answer. It’s not complicated.

        The Democratic leadership always does whatever the mega donors want, regardless of what that will end up doing at the polls, or to the country.

          More likely that Israel is the USA’s longest and most reliable foothold into the Middle East which is an important ground to repel eastern expansionism from Russia and China in an infinite proxy war. Nobody with half a brain would chose to lose voters for a paltry sum of campaign funds which may or may not attract comparably few voters, the math just doesn’t pan out.

            paltry sum of campaign funds

            You clearly have no idea what you’re talking about.

            AIPAC was one of the largest outside donors in the 2024 elections, spending $100 million in 389 congressional races (26 in the Senate, 363 in the House). 318 Zionist candidates who received money from AIPAC were elected that year.

              The Harris Campaign spent $1,176,074,620.47

              The total spending on all campaigns in 2024 was over 21 Billion Dollars.

              How many votes do you think $100M in advertisements is going to earn? That’s hardly enough money to put an ad in the face of 1 of 3 people in the USA one time.

    Good on Dems for organizing a grassroots resistance. We need more people on the ground, we need a force greater than one hundred millions strong.
