It’s not the Dems fault that so many people didn’t give a shit about marginalized groups.

I’ve been saying this for a long time.

The people who stayed home or voted third party are still trying to blame Dems for this, because the Dems didn’t try hard enough and “didn’t inspire them”.

Yeah? Well if you need a politician to inspire you to show up and fill out a piece of paper that will help protect marginalized groups, then you’re a piece of shit.

I’m not a Dem. Never will be. But I understood what was on the line.

Gaza is gonna get glassed, my gay and trans loved ones are in immediate danger, among God knows how much more heinous shit is going down.

They said they were gonna do this. And a huge group of people who wanted to be seen as morally pure decided to sit it out to feel superior.

You’re not superior. You’re a monster. The Dems shouldn’t have to “inspire” you to stop a fascist regime. It’s American exceptionalism at it’s fucking worst.

Fuck ALL of them. All of em.

Nothing is unbreakable but Signal is still pretty damn safe

You should read the article to see where these data dumps came from.

And he was a white man talking about a black man.

A vice president isn’t going to publicly break with the sitting president

Been saying this before the election. These comments are wild.

It wasn’t the singular reason she lost.

There were many.

But it IS a factor, an ugly one but one people seriously need to come to terms with.

But apparently I hate AOC for pointing this out

Sure thing.

That was a VERY different time. We didn’t have these little screens programming our social views.

I’ve said it in other replies that I hope I’m wrong, but we’ve been backsliding for some time, now.

Kinda like how we saw a lot of white civil rights supporters in the 60s go flying to the right.

We’ve been here before.

That’s you. You are not everyone

I don’t have a problem with it, either.

We are not the general public

Someone is definitely coming to conclusions they need in this conversation.

Enjoy that.

Don’t put words in my mouth. Stand on your own, and don’t tell me what my motivations are concerning why I draw my conclusions unless you have evidence to back it up

Harris ran an extremely imperfect campaign, I fucking hate the fact that the Democrats are the only other option we have, and a senator is a LONG way off from the leader of the country.

Huge. Fucking. Difference.

She’s smart, capable, (imo) gorgeous and aggressive in her outlooks. This is threatening to a LOT of men and women alike in our society.

As much as many hate to admit, misogyny is a problem in both left and right wing circles.

Let me make this clear, she would 100% be my optimal choice for a presidential pick. I honestly believe she would be the best person for the job.

I’m also unfortunately keenly aware of how far we have to go when it comes to overcoming the severely deep rooted hatred of women a lot of our citizens (on both spectrums) have.

It sucks. Hard. But it IS a very real hurdle.

If you think gender had nothing to do with it I’ve got some baaaaaad news for you, my friend.

Also, saying Hilary had Epstein murdered in his cell is a magnificent stretch, since there are literally hundreds of scenarios that could have led to his death. An unsubstantiated conspiracy theory didn’t hurt Hilary’s campaign, especially since Epstein was still alive at that point.

Are Americans tired of corporate shills? Certainly. Do we still have a severe misogyny problem? Most definitely. To say otherwise is just silly.

I would too. I like her. A lot.

I just don’t think she would have as good a chance as we all wish she could.

Make no mistake, I would LOVE to be wrong here, I would love to think the Murican people have evolved enough to realize that a woman in charge would probably be in our best interest, I just don’t see it happening. At least not in 2028

I’m down.

Muricans won’t show up to elect a woman as president and y’all need to figure this out.

I love AOC but if she ran as president you’re gonna see exactly what happened the last two times a woman ran.

Gotta be realistic. It’s a shitty reality but it is the reality we live in.

Walz is a good candidate with a history of helping his citizens. AOC is a firecracker for sure, but the public isn’t going to elect a woman of color. They just aren’t.

Not gonna happen. I’m in a deep red area and the basic sentiment is that it’s okay as long as he “saves this country”.

I already downloaded my copy of Wikipedia. I suggest others do the same.
