    When it looked like she was losing, she just rolled over without any fight. The others side would have fought long and hard. Not her. Just said “Oh, well. That’s it then”. Then she disappeared. Done with her.

      This is so true in so many countries. Look at the UK, I wouldn’t call today’s Labour party centre left by many measures anymore.

      actual left wing ideas are crushed by the billionaires that own the country

      Worse, they are crushed by the low income voters who would benefit most from their implementation.

    People are mad enough they’ll vote for anyone that isn’t Trump or a Trump accessory. DNC will take that as vindication that the Harris approach was correct, and will double/triple-down on it for years. Then find some subgroup of lefties to blame when they lose again in another 2-4 years.

    It’s the cirrrrrrcle of…stupidity.

      Thats literally what everyone thought about hillary and about kamala the first time. I wouldnt bet on people’s dislike of trump who at least managed to win twice (somehow) to vote in kamala who has literally neve come close to winning.

    Another political campaign of Zionist sympathies no matter what anyone says or whether or not it will cost them the election?

    I think a lot of people here are not taking into account the massive amounts of voter disenfranchisement that allowed Trump to win. In one Texas city 100k black voters were struck off the rolls, which would’ve carried Texas for Harris. In total there were almost 4,5 million legitimate voters who were struck from the rolls or whose votes were simply tossed out, mainly in swing states and almost exclusively for people of color. Harris lost by 3 million votes. 80% of those 4,5M votes would have gone to her and the dems.

    Exit polls were pointing towards a Dem victory and they might have even carried both houses if not for the massive voter disenfranchisement. This is the election that was blatantly stolen and it really surprises me so few people in the US even know about it, let alone are outraged by it.

      Still I’m not sure the people stricken from voter roles and who missed voting from bomb threats would be enough to make up the like 12mil difference.

      I don’t think we are ready to elect a woman as a country yet tbh, too bigoted.

      I didn’t know that about texas tho, sucks their citizens let them get away with cheating.

      Okay but we have no reason currently to believe this problems will get better before the next election. Most likely it’ll get worse

      The dems aren’t doing anything now despite all the outrage Trump has caused, so what hope do we have? All they offer are meaningless tweets about how unacceptable the things Trump is doing are

      Bold of you to assume there will be primaries, since those haven’t been conducted in good faith since 2008.

        Yeah. Last year the person who won appeared in one debate, lost, and refused to debate again. I don’t really understand what the election is after that mess.

    Nothing wrong here.

    But… Make her run a primary. Let her run as a regular candidate unchained from Biden and his ancient policy goals.

    I’m just thinking back to 2016 when someone got the idea that Joe Biden should run. And somehow nobody could stop it.

        In 2020 Trump’s approval was so low that Bill Cosby could’ve beaten him.

        Biden was a long-time failed presidential candidate even when he was younger and better at speaking. In the same primary election in 2008 where Obama was first and Hillary was second, Biden was a total embarrassment - if I recall he didn’t get a single delegate. But in 2020 he rode the popularity of the Obama administration to the top just like Clinton did in 2016.

        The tendency of democratic voters, especially in early primary states to pick some familiar name is completely devastating to Democrat electability. The last candidate to win on his own merits rather than being associated with someone else was Obama and he crushed it. Anyone associated with past administrations needs to be ruled out from the get go because they almost certainly suck.
