Ah yes, there’s no reason people would avoid voting for a cop president after a widely publicized lynching.
Trump only lost to Biden because voters were afraid Trump was too entrepreneurial.
McCain lost to Obama because voters were afraid McCain was too tumor-having.
having a coherent politics is just that easy.
Hillary lost because she was too white and too much of a servant of the patriarchal bourgeois order for anyone to want to turn out for her. Kamala may have the same problem, though liberals seem to be pushing the “Kamala super progressive” lie.
The reality is that nobody knew who the hell she was. Only knew a few older people who liked her during the primaries and that’s because they have all the time in the world to watch CNN 24/7 and get familiar with the candidates.
That would be the one upshot of Kamala winning, trolling libs with “huh turns out voters will vote for a woman guess that wasn’t the problem in prior elections.”
Lib denial is deeper than the Mariana Trench. If Kamala wins - within days there were be op-eds opining the 2016 tragedy. It’s a shame voters weren’t really for a female candidate then. Hillary could have and should have won. And it would have been an era of kittens, puppies, rainbows, unicorns, joy, and neoliberal wonderment.
They will flip it around as the US becoming less misogynistic since 2016. I can see it now. Nothing has actually changed (except, you know, losing abortion), but libs will act like they were the vanguard for women’s issues this whole time.
Ugh, I can see it now.
: “We did it! After enough concessions we finally convinced the dumb backward masses into voting for a woman president! It feels great to have educated them! Tailism? What’s that?”
I’ll give libs this. They are right that this country is rabidly misogynistic.
Nah it’s cause she’s center right like Biden. Still gonna vote for her over the Cheeto fascists but this is not the reason.
Is this even wrong? I think if Kamala had been a white guy, she would’ve done a lot better and the Democrats might very well have rallied behind her instead of Biden. Yeah, she sucks ass, but she’s not particularly worse than any of the other Dems. The only reason she’s the candidate now is because she happened to be VP while Biden basically died during a live debate.
The only people who support a primary challenger are people who hate the incumbent. You just don’t primary an incumbent. Her chances were irrelevant so long as Biden was in the race.
This is about 2020 where Biden wasn’t the incumbent
Whoops! My bad.
We had white (gay) Kamala and his name was mayor Pete
I’ll be back in 28
Yoooooo the
manrat himself
Then why don’t the Dems rally behind any of the other white guys?
I have a leftie telling me that because Cheney endorsed KH , we should take that as evidence that she is a bad candidate and NOT AN ANTIFASCIST.
I kept pointing out that Patton and Stalin invaded Germany and HATED each other. “Ally of convenience” is not a friend. As long as no concessions are made, the best thing you can do is let two enemies destroy each other.
After the main danger is vanquished, we excise our “once and future” enemies the neocons.
I saw a comment on an .ml instance post about this (maybe a .worlder) saying “WOULD YOU HATE DOGS JUST BECAUSE HITLER LOVED DOGS???”
Well, no. Nor would I if Cheney loved dogs. If Hitler endorsed my political candidate, however…
And Patton wanted to recruit the Germans and take the lead in Operation Unthinkable lmao
His comments coupled with slapping that soldier earned him a demotion. Really poor example.
George “we fought the wrong enemy” Patton
Those who do not learn history are doomed to… clown themselves on social media.
First as shitpost, then as meme.
They really typed that out
and Patton regretted it every day. Ike was the one really pushing for helping and working with the USSR.
Dumbest thing I’ve read all week.
Patton and Stalin invaded Germany and HATED each other. “Ally of convenience” is not a friend.
Ask this person what they think of Molotov-Ribbentropf
Then why did she get trounced by fucking Klobuchar ?
It’s the third post by the OP - haha.
For the record, my argument here is not “she should have beaten Biden in 2020” but “she was a much better candidate than the point at which she dropped indicated, and for instance is substantially better than Klobuchar."
lol. Someone ask them why Klobuchar was more popular
Yes, that’s the reason she had literally no supporters except those K-hive freaks.
If in the sequel their interests turn out to be uninteresting and their power turns out to be impotence, either this is the fault of dangerous sophists, who split the indivisible people into different hostile camps, or the army was too brutalized and deluded to understand that the pure goals of democracy were best for it too, or a mistake in one detail of implementation has wrecked the whole plan, or indeed an unforeseen accident has frustrated the game this time. In each case the democrat emerges as spotless from the most shameful defeat as he was innocent when he went into it, fresh in his conviction that he must inevitably be victorious, taking the view that conditions must ripen to meet his requirements, rather than that he and his party must abandon their old standpoint.

Sure. That’s the only reason
voters, extremely shy from Hillary’s loss, were afraid that [Kamala] was too Black
Yes because if Hillary’s loss indicated anything it’s that a black person can’t win. This is definitely a coherent analysis.
They were so triggered by her loss in the 2016 general they forgot all about her loss in the 2008 primary
I feel that only the democratic party gives half a fuck about “middle [America]” and the people who are waffling between the two candidates. I’m sure you could get a fuck ton of votes doing something, anything popular instead of talking about bullshit Marvel slop quotes to try and convince someone whose high fructose corn syrup coated neurons couldn’t conjure a coherent ideology any faster than infinite monkies could.
It’s a dogshit analysis.
Democratic party analysts, either because they’re incompetent or because they’re always looking for ways to triangulate to the right (or possibly both) imagine that anyone who is not a loyal member and consistent voter of either party exists precisely in the center of the Overton window.

Wow, that’s brutal.

Yup, just too ‘woman’, which is why Elizabeth Warren was comfortably in second or third for almost the entire race and only tanked after she went
