Nice to know that a lot of you would vote for a slaver. Oops, sorry, forgot she is black, so that makes it okay.
Good god! NO! Have they learned nothing from 2016???
There’s a woman running for president, that seems to be the democrats only option (only because nobody is giving Bernie Sanders the time of day…for some reason…), and an entire nation, both on the left AND on the right, who are saying “Ew, no, we don’t want her…”. Opposing her is trump, which one side of the election actively DO want to be president. So they’ll have no troube with their voting decision.
And then there’s the undecided voter. They don’t like either option, but they see that even the left isn’t happy with their choice, but the right IS happy with their choice…so from that logic, it sounds like they should vote republican, because they don’t like either option, but at least SOME people DO like this option. And that’s how trump becomes president.
The only question is, did I just describe 2016, or 2024?
It’s such a low bar for the DNC to just put forth a viable candidate, and all they’ve come up with is a controversial president’s wife who doesnt know when to shut up and not tank her own (and others) campaign, a genocidal geriatric strike-breaker, and now, after nearly two decades of blatant, recorded police abuse and widespread protests against police… President “female bad-cop”.
And then you want to say hey vote third party and you are literally Hitler
What kind of dumbass article is this? Biden is the candidate the election is in five months.
They mean that he could die before then.
Contested convention and they replace him. August surprise.
They’d never do that to an incumbent candidate.
“I’ve been diagnosed with dementia. Here’s Kamala.”
Should be Pete Bootyjudge
How do I get him to rate my booty? Is there a scheduling website I sign up through…?
Gross. I don’t care who you are, President Cop is gonna be a no from me, dog.
Remember this on The Daily Show? https://x.com/SciSocialist/status/1199851020421083136
What’s dystopian about this? I would vote for her in a heartbeat.
Her approval rating is lower than Biden’s…
Voters have real doubts about Kamala Harris as potential president, poll finds
https://www.politico.com/news/2024/06/12/kamala-harris-favorability-poll-00162093
Just like they had doubt about Hillary. Show me one woman presidential nominee that polls over 50% in the US.
I believe Warren was for awhile when she ran.
I find it interesting how many self identified leftists are cheering and welcoming a racist and corrupt cop as president of the United States.
Like, this isn’t even about the whole “anyone but trump” or “vote 3rd party” war.
The crowd claiming to be the left are just straight up cheering for cops.
Fascinating how I see the left continually blamed for not meeting Dems in the middle with that 1930s Germany copypasta and yet it’s only one of them constantly shifting right.
Since apparently a rabid mob comes up every time someone touches this topic, yes I understand what’s at stake and will be voting accordingly.
I’m sure all these self proclaimed leftists will be there to advocate for the local socialist parties after we secure the presidency right? …right?
You realize you are part of the rabid mob too then? Instead of listening to people with which you mostly politically agree, you immediately resort to shitting on and scapegoating them by jumping to a wild conclusion. This type of rhetoric is equally unhelpful.
And that’s a fair assessment as well. It is a scapegoat to say those folks don’t support other leftist policies.
However I must disagree that my conclusion was wild.
My train of thought is, people say they support making peoples lives better and implementing policies proven to work and be more cost effective.
When it comes time to ‘nut up’ and do it, their chosen representatives roll over and compromise and refuse to use the same governing tools used against them to stop the rise of fascism.
Republicans famously grind the country to a halt with a minority. It’s their whole shtick, and yet they sail through these fascist policies nationwide with no fighting back from the Feds.
Is it truly that like minded when the purpose of a system is what it does, and my fellow patriots choose the continued decline of society driven by capitalism?
This, I believe, is the source of this leftist’s anger. Open denial of genocide by party leaders, while capital interests make life shittier literally every day, and no way out between “shit choice” and “literal fascist”.
My stake is that democrats aren’t Nazis. They just dont mind them very much. In fact your political opponents being actual nazis improves your election chances.
There is no left wing in American politics.
No they are just complicit in the most obvious Genocide since 1940 while denying it is a Genocide.
Nothing Nazi to see here. The Nazis were bad because they called themselves socialists. Not the Genocide thing right?
Hey dude how does one fail to commit a genocide for 85 year while actively trying? With a massive power imbalance?
Fail? Israel has been Genociding very succesfully.
Not I. ACAB. She had a history of horrible policies.
Kamala Harris is a complicated choice for some LGBTQ+ people
https://19thnews.org/2020/08/kamala-harris-complicated-lgbtq-choice/
I have some reservations (need to research her more) as she was relatively progressive in an American context it seems.
If anyone has more starting points for my research, I am absolutely open.
However, for the moment she’s a “NO” from me. Even at the most forgiving judgements, it seems she sent away a whole bunch of poor people and did nothing about the system that is driving them to crime.
Ah also her weird racism, nepotism, and stances on LGBT issues. Who refers to art in their home by the ethnicity of the artist???
Another one for you. As a Californian, we knew she was bad. That’s why she dropped out polling 5th in the primary.
The Human Costs Of Kamala Harris’ War On Truancy. The “progressive prosecutor” wanted to transform how California responded to students missing school. Parents like Cheree Peoples wound up paying the price.
Good info on her background, thank you! As a former Orange resident this is especially disappointing to read this story and how the mother and child were treated.
Harris has since replaced her punitive stance with the message that parents of truant children need help, not scare tactics. It’s a shift that happened roughly in step with voters’ waning tolerance for using the criminal justice system to address complicated social problems and Harris’ own preparations to seek higher office.
Emphasis mine
She’s a cop, down to her core. She’s got the mentality that “I can fix social problems through the threat and use of coercive state violence”. That was her law, that she asked for, I assumed drafted/guided, and defended publicly… until she ran for the Oval Office, and was made to choose compassion.
Yeah, it’s all performative ladder climbing bullshit.
