      Let me be clear — THIS IS ON YOU. Liberal Democrats who make lame excuses for tacking to the center. PEOPLE DON’T LIKE CENTRISTS. Even when Democrats manage to eke out a victory, they squander it on hypercapitalist garbage like Heritagecare Romneycare Obamacare. Or NAFTA. Or welfare “reform.” Or the Biden Crime Bill. Or repealing Glass-Steagall.

      The idea that Kamala would have done a single thing different on Gaza is absurd, since she’s captured by the same lobbyists as Republicans. She just would have done a better job of selling it to mushy liberals. Extra laughable since AFTER the Gaza genocide we have this from the leader of the democrats: “Schumer Claims ‘Job’ Is to ‘Fight for Aid to Israel’”

      Progressives don’t owe corpo liberal Dems their votes. You need to earn them. “Uhh, we’re merely greedy instead of sadistic” isn’t the rallying cry you think it is.

      And Hillary’s “vote for me or you’re a misogynist” didn’t pan out very well when campaiging against a gross misogynist pedophile. Time to try something different. And I don’t mean getting Dick Cheney’s endorsement.

        Hard to make the “it’s on you” arguement when you proclaimed proudly your protest vote.

        And yes, any democrat in office would absolutely clear the rock bottom bar of thus administration. You’re fucking off your rocker if you think otherwise.

          “We” means the country, you muppet. I voted for Harris like an absolute moron.

          PICK BETTER NOMINEES IF YOU WANT TO WIN.

            The women dying by ectopic pregnancies and the Palestinians who’ve died to make room for Jewish settlers and beach resorts appreciate your principled stand.

                Abortion as healthcare undoubtedly. And a long way from ideal, but Gaza wouldn’t be completely in Israel’s hand. So yes, a hell of a lot better in both cases.
