    Tired of these talking points. So many leftists held their nose and voted for Harris. Not only do we not get adequate representation, but we also can’t voice or opinion lest we “depress the vote”?

    She was a dogshit candidate who depressed her own vote like when she tapped her brother-in-law from Uber and stopped pushing popular positions like workers rights, https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/04/us/politics/kamala-harris-tony-west.html

    It’s not a mystery.

      For real.

      Yes, Trump is the one fucking us. Yes, Harris wouldn’t have fucked us this hard.

      But these aren’t problems we would have if the DNC had decided to do an actual primary instead of just handing their reins over to a senile old man and his hand-picked successor. That isn’t how democracy works and its a big part of why we are so fundamentally fucked right now.

      She was dog shit, for sure. What kind of shit was Trump?

      Personally… I LOVE that Trump won. I’m exiting the country in < 6mo, and you losers can sleep in the bed you made.

        Even if they voted 3rd party instead Trump would still have won, what point do you think you’re making?

          exactly…so you have to usurp the party from within, same as MAGA did with the GOP.

          this is how the DSA operates, only progressives in the room that know what tue fuck they’re doing
