    JFC how is this the takeaway

    some Democratic party aides believe Trump – who, among other things, overcame a criminal conviction and other such charges to win – has sufficiently overturned the norms of losing White House candidates’ not attempting a second bite at the proverbial apple to give Harris the opportunity of a repeat bid in 2028, this time for the full cycle.

        The path forward is clear. Kamala needs to cultivate a cult of personality so rabid that it forces all democrats to toe the line. Super easy. Especially on the left.

        At this point I don’t think this can even be explained by incompetence. It has to be malice.

    America is too racist and misogynist for her to win even though she was a great candidate.

      She wasn’t a good candidate for anything but the gop. As a Republican, she’s the perfect middle ground between Trump and Reagan.

      She has no business running opposed to conservatives, though, and will never win in that role.

          The anti cannabis cop who spent her life specifically discriminating against nonviolent black men and advocating for keeping innocent black men imprisoned in order to ensure California has enough slaves for their corporate contracts?

          The same one that adopted a more draconian border policy than anything Trump or the Republicans ever offered?

          The same one that was VP to Joe “poor kids are as smart as white kids; I don’t want my kids to grow up in a racial jungle” Biden, the most right wing Democrat president since before the southern strategy, himself being the reason student loan debt isn’t dischargeable in bankruptcy?

          Yeah. Foreign policy including immigration makes her as bad as Trump. Domestic policy is the same trickle down that Obama and Biden pushed.

            That’s funny when Obama and Biden had no history of cutting taxes on the rich, which is the central pillar of trickle down economics.

            Obama actually hiked taxes on the wealthy as part of the ACA, in addition to letting Bush’s most egregious cuts expire instead of renewing them.

            Biden made no major changes to tax policy, though has been pushing to increase the corporate tax rate.

            Both Biden and Harris are also on record advocating for the implementation of an unrealized capital gains tax, which would be a huge step, though unlikely to be implemented without a large congressional majority. (which is unlikely)

    Biden just pardoned a judge convicted of taking bribe money in exchange for sending children to “troubled kid” abuse camps. Tim Walz tweeted a condolence about the billionaire that was justifiably executed for his widespread torture of poor people. Kamala’s a cop.

    Democrats, you’ve radicalized me. Like there’s gonna BE a vote allowed for mouthy queer people in four years LOLOL

    • There’s a glimmer of hope that a couple really old, powerful Democrats will die or retire in the next four years, and we’ll see some policy change.

      I’m starting to dislike Pelosi nearly as much as conservatives do. I mean, I haven’t thought much of her for years, but my opinion is turning more vitriolic.

      I still think Moscow “Pale Man” Mitch is the architect of evil, but we expect that from conservatives. Nancy’s been especially naughty in the past few years.

      She raised the most donations they’ve ever seen. They’re not masochists, just greedy, and they care more about making money than winning.

      “It is the voters who are wrong. We just need more podcasts to show we are actually smart for upholding a system that fails to address the suffering of Americans!” 2028 CHANGE NOTHING AND HOPE FOR A WIN!

      Edit: I am not for the dismantling of the govt., but we do need a massive overhaul to remove the corruption (lobbying and life time appointments) and create a better system that will actually represent the American populace.

      Kamala was running on hope and upholding Biden’s agenda with a few tax breaks. Based off the popular vote, that was not enough for the majority of voters.

        I mean the voters were factually wrong. But that doesn’t matter because all that matters is that they lost the election.

    “She is ending this race in a very different place than other nominees that have lost,” one Harris adviser told the outlet. “Her approval is higher. People were very happy with the race that she ran.”

    Jesus fucking Christ. They’ve huffed their own farts too hard and gave themselves some kind of brain damage. Or they’re just greedy fucks that want to raise a billion dollars for exorbitant campaign expenses paid to their friends and acquaintances.

      They also think that running a campaign that lost is somehow a win? Are these campaign managers fascist double agents trying to poison the only viable opposition? Seems like it.

    They really are kinda stupid. They don’t get how unpalpable she can be. They are clearly not learning from their mistakes.

    Well, looks like I am finally leaving the Democrat party. I was only registered Democrat to vote in the primaries but they don’t seem to mean shit anymore and the party seems incapable of learning a lesson.

    It’s because it never mattered if she actually won or not, it was all about raking in those campaign donations. The Democratic Party could not care less about winning elections by votes, all they have to do is win by donation totals for them to see it as a victory. Since Harris broke the records on those they’re going to keep her around to see how much money the can wring out of her, and once that starts to dry up they’ll toss her out and start the process over again.
