    She lost by one of the slimmest popular vote margins in history. But other than that, yeah, are never really had a chance

      This was literally the worst electoral map for the Democrats since 1988 when Republicans won Illinois and California.

        Yeah but she almost won the entirely symbolic popular vote, she’s basically the next FDR!

          Like it’s just republicans.

          Talk to a centrist about raising the national minimum wage sometime, and it becomes clear quickly that they don’t care at all about raising the minimum wage once their state has done it.

          Non sequitor. Not what I said and not a Republican.

          Campaigns are about winning swing states, those are just the rules of the game. Kamala lost that game worse than any Democrat in nearly 40 years. Maybe the rules we have aren’t fair, and if they were different, she would’ve lost by a smaller margin. But then, both campaigns would’ve been run completely differently, the same candidates might not have even been the nominees, etc.

          By the actual rules of the actual game, Kamala lost extremely badly.

      Popular vote doesn’t determine who’s president; Harris got washed in the election.

            The topic is who doesn’t have a chance to win an election period you keep trying over and over and over and over and over again to change the topic but I won’t let you.

            The topic is who doesn’t have a chance to win an election.

            Someone who gets the most votes doesn’t really fall in that category no matter how many times you try to change the topic.

              Your the one who keeps trying to change the topic away from the metric that actually determines who wins the election.

              And Harris didn’t get the most votes.

      Damn, really? Maybe the Democrats shouldn’t have put up a doddering, old, dementia-addled, genocide-enabling maniac for President, then, so that there wasn’t the whole candidate-switcheroo last second. Let me go blame myself for this.

          Lol. “I’m ok with committing genocide, so long as its done solemnly and not gleefully.”

          Though so far, Trump has been more willing to break from Israel than Biden ever was.

              Imagine seeing a whole population being butchered and thinking the location of the consulate is what matters.

              And if Kamala had won, the US would still be bombing Yemen on behalf of Israel.

          You’ve been playing genocide enabler since before the inception of your country. Maybe, if you’d have thought enabling genocide enablers leads to people who might enjoy genocide sooner, the whole moral dilemma might not have happened in the first place?

          But no, it’s the people with a conscience to blame for this.

          You played yourself.

              “I don’t have a dog in the fight. I’m not a German and I’m not Jewish”. -reddfugee about the holocaust.

              We have Biden on record encouraging ceasefires and aid.

              You have him on record lying to credulous domestic liberals that he did that, and that’s the only thing that matters to you.

              “God did the State of Israel a favor that Biden was the president during this period, because it could have been much worse. We fought [in Gaza] for over a year and the administration never came to us and said, ‘ceasefire now.’ It never did. And that’s not to be taken for granted,” the former Israeli ambassador said.

              We have Biden on record encouraging ceasefires and aid.

              While unconditionally shoveling weapons and signing aid packages for neatanyahu’s genocidal apartheid regime. Oh, and his administration ran interference for netanyahu at the UN.

              Pro-genocide centrists (which is a tautology. genocide is the only policy centrists have ever actually stood for. it’s all they are. it’s all they have ever been or ever will be.) expect everyone to whom they lie to accept without question that words speak louder than actions.

                  Precisely. Democrats expect us to believe words without actions. That only works for so long before they’re completely out of credibility.
