The idea that we can't afford to fix our infrastructure, end homelessness, or properly fund education.
Meanwhile, a 2% wealth tax on billionaires could literally change millions of lives. But sure, let's keep debating whether teachers deserve a living wage. 🤔
But in a free market, who are we to tell these people where their money should go, who are we to tell them they have "too much money?" Not even the leaders in communist or dictatorial countries will stop trying to make money. Hitler was already a rich elitist when he was, err. "elected."
That sounds so great! I believe if Biden would have had all the power Trump has when he was in office this tax hike on billionaires would have went through! Maybe in 2028 provided the orange one is made to leave office!!! DEMOCRACY WILL HOLD! WE THE PEOPLE SAY SO!!
While I agree 💯with your sentiment, the flaw is the belief in the myth of “taxpayer money” Taxpayer is code for rich & wealthy. Funding single payer does not depend on taxing billionaires first. We should tax them heavily, not because we need their money, we don’t want them to have all that money
They absolutely need to do this because the Rs have the populist shit down & they will exploit the latest Biden debacle until everyone believes Biden is a crook and cheato is an altar boy.
And the stupid, gullible, easily manipulated American electorate will buy it.
Trump only wins elections when he competes with a woman. It is actually his successful action. We have never permitted a woman to win a presidential election, no matter how qualified she is for the job.
Just learned about the extent of it & I’m f’in floored at just how widespread & deeply racist these laws are… they’ve always been there in some form, but massive bloom in wake of 2020. If you haven’t yet, highly recommend watching/reading Greg Palast reporting on this 🫂💗✊
They won. Both of them. The 2016 and 2024 elections were both rigged. And what do Dems in Congress do......nothing! They just ignore it. That's why it happened again. The party of "we don't question elections" better start some investigatin'!
ACTUALLY, WHAT IS EVEN MORE DISTURBING AS IT IS VILE, THE FACT THAT MILLIONS UPON MILLIONS OF FEMALE VOTERS CHOSE A MAN WHO RAPED, WHO VISITED A TEEN SEX ISLAND TWICE, AND OUTLAWED ABORTION RIGHTS.
Indeed. Not sure if they can reduce deficit but better than the orange man and both women will definitely will not make people hate each other like him..
I've said it before. America isn't ready for a female president. They'll choose a dumb-as-bricks despicable human over a qualified woman, no matter what her skin color.
After Harris lost, I looked at my husband and said, I am still worth less to society than any man. I am a engineer, I am the breadwinner of my family, but society still values me less than any man. It's a hard pill to swallow.
STUPIDITY IS WHAT YOU GET WITH A REPUBLICAN VOTING BASE FILLED WITH REDNECKS, GRADESCHOOL DROPOUTS, AND DEGENERATE INBREEDERS RUNNING AROUND WAVING VOTING CARDS LIKE IT'S A GRAD SCHOOL DIPLOMA FROM PRINCETON...THERE NEEDS TO BE AN ANNUAL COMPETENCY EXAM TO BE ABLE TO VOTE...😉👍
Well you have to ask the question. How many women don’t think a woman can do the job? So we can assume that men falsely think they wear the pants in a family but when push comes to shove it was suburban women who determined the moron was better than a woman. So it’s women who have to decide equality
They were both airheads, the last one moreso than the first one. You'll have to lie to deny that. The fact that y'all claim Trump is the dumbest president in history speaks volumes about how bad both of those candidates were. You even had Democrats crossing over to vote Trump this time.
The patriarchy continues in 2025. Despite the rest of the world recognizing that women CAN be leaders too. America would elect a man of any color, before they would elect a woman. Sad!
Our culture is sick. Very sick and I had no idea how bad it was until the last few years. The racism, misogyny and homo phobia were hiding under the rocks just waiting for someone to lift it up and let them out. Now they're out.
Outwardly, they say, "Clinton was hiding something in her emails." & "Kamala supported Israel's genocide on Palestine" and "Trump is just exaggerating to make a point." and "Media is picking on him."
Inwardly, they just couldn't vote for a woman for president, chose to overlook Trump's past.
You can disagree with certain Democrat policies, but Trump is what happens when those disagreements are used as pretext to distance yourself from the party when your opposition says ‘well I don’t like this or that about him’, but for certain Democrat points, the entire party is toxic.
"A man who can't make complete sentences" describes the idiots who voted for him. They think they're like him bc he's rich, while he's actually like them bc they're stupid 🤦♀️
It’s said that you deserve the people you put in power. What is happening in America is the Americans fault. Stop hand-wringing and whining and just own it. And then do something about it. Stop hoping that someone else will solve this for you.
Facts can be proven, and you’re right about the internet!Most idiots just believe what they hear, from whatever media spews their chosen beliefs- conformation bias. Now with AI- all bets are off. We won’t know what truth is- people can be made to say or do anything without even participating.
The basic truth here is that a huge part of the US is misogynistic. So much so that not only do they not want a woman to be president, they would rather have someone who rapes women to be president.
No surprise. #Christiban have poisoned the US with sexism which is embedded in language; Women's contribution to reproduction is completely denied.
Linguistically, women are merely incubators. They are "impregnated" by men and carry their seeds. But sperm are not seeds, and women are procreators!
Moreover, Clinton and Harris were much more than just 'viable'. They were arguably the two most qualified candidates ever to run for the office of President.
Sorry. I voted for Harris but never for that vile human being Clinton. Anyone that thinks she would have been any better has veiled eyes. 2016 election SUCKED.
every time democrats turned right they lost a few more liberals The ones who stayed until they lost were the lost poyal When we left, tere wasnt ehough left to win.
It really does.
I’m not a fan of Hillary but she was definitely the better choice at the time.
I absolutely wanted Harris in no matter who she ran against.
Growing up with sisters makes it easier to just see people as people. The idea that a woman couldn’t be president is ridiculous
I thought they got it wrong when they chose Obama over Clinton. Apparently I didn't understand that electing a woman was still a bridge too far in this century. Remember the UK had a female HOS when Reagan was president so it seemed perfectly normal to me.
This says something horrible about the American people and their attention to the facts and evidence that the Republicans are not good for normal Americans.
Well... they were ok.
It's just too bad the men they stepped over to get the nomination were guided by and then got canceled by their own party. It's horrifying.
Hell yes! What’s your thoughts? I spent 25 years climbing the corporate ladder to only find myself the one or few women at the table, bullied, overworked, overlooked and harassed. The mental gymnastics in such a patriarchal system broke me. I thrive now away from that.
I trained wet-behind-the-ears guys who had been hired at twice my salary. We've come a ways since then but somehow are not considered equal yet. Voting for the competent woman is a good place to start.
Two of the most qualified and accomplished candidates in our history lost to a whiny, narcissistic, incoherent buffoon! But at least the libs got owned.
Women are 51% of the population. Always have been. Bigtime wrong we've Always been treated as some kind of fringe minority. Let alone the driving force in keeping humanity going forward. Who taught you how to wipe your bum? Extrapolate from there...
They hate women and as long as GOP men and women over 45 cling to their seats in congress for another 15 - 20 years NOTHING WILL CHANGE. Congress is out of touch and do not represent their constituents!
CLEAR THE HALLS OF LIFETIME REPS AND SENATORS!
No true words were ever spoken. It’s shameful that Americans could not vote for a woman president. What is worse is what does it say about women who couldn’t vote for women but rather voted for a rapist and convicted felon rather instead of a woman?
Always did. I campaigned & voted for the smart pant suit lady & the smart Indian & Jamaican lady. Don’t speak to me about Whitmer 2028. Sorry. Just don’t.
Anyone with absolutely no character needs to be better than someone else. It is truly sad when this country would even think about putting a sexual predator for our sacred office of the Presidency but each in this country gets one vote and people will often believe a lie when given in sincere tones.
As someone who escaped, I say this with absolute seriousness: The Republican party is a cult. Period. Full stop. They must be relegated, or the nation divided.
Hillary won the popular vote but an election system made to give voting weight to slave states (low populations of white men voting but lots of 3/5 non voting blacks to create numbers for electors) and now favors low population farm states gave the election to a racist Russian asset.
Particularly age limits. At some point, age is almost like entails of old. Time and culture changes. Everyone becomes out of step with the times sooner or later. Join a think tank and give advice but legislating from outdated values or expectations helps no one.
They were not Viable! The people are tired of an old status quo that has left our people impoverished, war weary, and under the boot of the corporations. The DNC can not keep pandering to the right, than expecting the left wing vote.
"The people don't want a phony Democrat. If it's a choice between a genuine Republican, and a Republican in Democratic clothing, the people will choose the genuine article, every time; that is, they will take a Republican before they will a phony Democrat...
It also says that people would rather vote for an incompetent criminal prick than a Democratic Party that no longer represents them or the people but the rich oligarchs.
Hillary and Kamala were horrible candidates and both represented that.
1/2 No, Corporate Dems like Kamala & Hillary are the problem. About the entirety of the Democratic Party is owned by oligarchs & while you sit there & yell boo trump, you dance for the crumbs the DNC and the Dems might give you. Its pathetic.
2/2 The fact you cant see neither party works for us says your clueless. But you keep going with the insults keyboard warrior & being one of the many ignorant while I fight for all of us.
She won. Putin interfered in that election along with Comey and the last minute "but her e-mails" moment. Still don't know if he was part of that gaslighting or just dumb and gullible, but whatever his motive, it was wrong.
But the Dems are spineless and just rolled over instead of requesting a recount or investigating interference. We need a party that works for us, not their big donors. That’s why they’re so feckless.
Well I campaigned for Kamala and I was highly disappointed that she conceded so quickly before an official audit. I’m not conspiratorial, but in my heart of hearts, I know she won, and would have been an excellent President, unlike the 🍊 shit stain in office now.
But rememeber, this will always be the thought of the losing candidate and their supporters. Trump did it, Al Gore did it, too.
But couldn't it mean more that society in general who openly call for equality with men and women are actually really mysoginistic, and people aren't willing to admit it?
Sure. It could. And I think there is some truth to that. But I still think some weird stuff happened that day, and I am not given to believe crazy theories generally.
Trump has more or less admitted Elon messed w/the voting machines in Pennsylvania. Elon announced trump had won before results came in. Bomb threats were made to only democrat voting districts on election day. And I find it damned odd that every single swing state went to him, especially so early.
Trump cheated the 2024 election (tabulation hack) with the help of Elon Musk. Here, check out Election Truth Alliance and watch their eye opening videos.
Says so much about what this country is. They didn't lose. America lost. Competence, knowledge, experience, decency, grace, dignity and respect worldwide.
If they were actually viable, they would have won, there is nothing for us to learn from looking back at this part of history. The two party system is dead, let's just hope the revolution brings us true democracy, where one citizen is one vote. Bernie was the only candidate to beat trump, thanks dnc
If you could only see the resumes and did not know the gender or color of the candidate 100% of intelligent individuals would have chosen correctly in both instances.
I heard a somewhat hopeful note on the New Yorker's Political Scene: Hillary did win the popular vote; her loss was in the Electoral College. Kamala had a mere 100 days to put together a campaign, a near impossible task, and she came close.
Plus, African nations that still allow female genital mutilation are hardly pro-women, and I highly doubt they are run by, what you say, "white men."
Just saying.
Correction: ALL men aren't ready for women to run the world. I don't see many middle eastern countries electing women to run things, they still punish women for getting rapes or committing adultery over there. Russia and China aren't controlled by women, but North Korea might be.
Nothing about the last 10 years has been free and fair.
2024 was the most egregious in your face corrupt election.
He wasn't elected in 2016,2020 or 2024.
Take note of all the countries that have never had a female president or prime minister. They all have something in common…. Dominating bravado that bruises easily while hung by their religious beliefs that never existed in the first place.
Willing to elect women as leaders:
Uk, Canada, France, Australia, Brazil, Indonesia, S. Korea, Turkey, India, Denmark, Germany, Argentina, Pakistan, Israel, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Barbados, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Iceland, Trinidad & Tobago, Honduras, Mexico, Namibia, Peru, Tanzania, Finland
Even if they ran the best campaigns, “America is already great” does not resonate with voters living paycheck to paycheck.
Harris’s “I wouldn’t change anything” from the Biden administration, did little to address ongoing concerns that everyone was ignoring the people’s issues.
Democrats nolonger care about the people. They say they do, they claim they do, they bring out charts and proofs to explain to us uneducated idiots why they actually care and are superior human beings.
The true cost of freedom. The real price we would have to pay to fix this country. The penalties all the insurrectionists need to insure this never happens again in America its all here its our future. Hopefully we are not as weak as they think 🤔 it took 50 years we cantwait https://youtu.be/3eUjOV0ZlSQ?feature=shared
Yes.
Those adjectives also apply to all
Democrats & Republicans.
They all accept AIPAC Bribes making them complicit in the genocide & ethnic cleansing in Palestine.
Were you trying to make a point ?
Point being that in my opinion the incompetence, corruption and malfeasance of Donald Trump and those he has empowered (such as Peter Thiel and Stephen Miller) far exceeds any issues you (or I) may have with the Democrats and keeping them out of power should have been Priority One.
Joe Biden’s presidency says the same. He wanted to govern and give the Republicans and voters the opportunity to restore sanity to the party/country.
They chose…THIS instead.

But that is different from claiming election fraud.
Projection at its finest.
We definitely need a change; and quickly!
Him speaking makes my ears hurt.
OR Trump, for that matter
Hillary is guilty for what had happened in Libya and Kamala is not fit for the job either.
All this time @berniechristie.bsky.social @aoc.bsky.social and others are leading the charge against #TYRANNY ✅
KAMALA?
MIA...
Still in election mode...
A shame for DNC and her supporters!
Inwardly, they just couldn't vote for a woman for president, chose to overlook Trump's past.

That's a horrifying truth.
Linguistically, women are merely incubators. They are "impregnated" by men and carry their seeds. But sperm are not seeds, and women are procreators!
...and again in 2024, robbing us of someone who wouldn’t screw up one of the best administrations in history
Many mistakes made
...but none more deadly than allowing this:
I’m not a fan of Hillary but she was definitely the better choice at the time.
I absolutely wanted Harris in no matter who she ran against.

#TrumpforthePineBox
It's just too bad the men they stepped over to get the nomination were guided by and then got canceled by their own party. It's horrifying.
*Sanders in 2017
*Biden in 2024
Bernie was wiped out right before the convention.
Harris was just Biden 2.0, and BORING.
I think we went backwards in progress in trump’s first term/pandemic for women in corporate.
But no. I'll go with the horror that Trump could *ever* win.
At least Trump lost robustly running as a discredited, unfit incumbent in 2020.
CLEAR THE HALLS OF LIFETIME REPS AND SENATORS!
Election denialism is bad no matter which side is saying it.
~George Carlin
And while we’re at it… overturn Citizens United ruling.
And… making voting universally available to all citizens of voting age.
And wouldn’t ranked choice voting be dreamy too?
The people united can never be defeated.
Love to all the whole humans behind the 1s & 0s on this thread
Must pass a civics test and comprehensive background check
Plus mandatory divestiture while in office
We also need limits on how much money candidates can receive and/or spend - & an end to endless fundraising
I could go on.
In the words of Harry Truman:...
Just learned about the extent of it via Greg Palast reporting (Vigilantes Inc. doc now free to watch on YouTube)!
It was 😱+🤯 for me
(OP true as well; this is a both/and)
#knowledgeispower
Hillary and Kamala were horrible candidates and both represented that.
There's a reason we still use mechanical machines and not the internet.
You would have to hack into a lot of machines.
But couldn't it mean more that society in general who openly call for equality with men and women are actually really mysoginistic, and people aren't willing to admit it?

Voter suppression is a problem.
We need major election reform, including publicly funded elections, and get rid of the Electoral College.
https://www.harpersbazaar.com/uk/culture/a35379486/why-does-the-world-reward-mediocre-white-men/
White men weren't ready for women to run the world.
So they fixed the elections and...
Now we have a TEMU version Kim Jong Un
Just saying.
2024 was the most egregious in your face corrupt election.
He wasn't elected in 2016,2020 or 2024.
Big lie part 2
You don't have evidence that something didn't happen.
Uk, Canada, France, Australia, Brazil, Indonesia, S. Korea, Turkey, India, Denmark, Germany, Argentina, Pakistan, Israel, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Barbados, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Iceland, Trinidad & Tobago, Honduras, Mexico, Namibia, Peru, Tanzania, Finland
They are not. For obvious reasons.
So Starlink could not change the results.
Sometimes, they may use private network, but that is rare.
It was a batman looking icon, and he/she blocked me.
🤭🤦♂️
In any other context, Trump would have lost, but the anger and desire for change was so great it did not matter if that change was bad.
We could have had good change, but instead there was a push for shitty status quo.
Harris’s “I wouldn’t change anything” from the Biden administration, did little to address ongoing concerns that everyone was ignoring the people’s issues.
It screamed “the economy is for the wealthy not you poors.”
So long as the rich were happy they didn’t even believe there was a problem.
Many of said voters knew this was coming and wanted to sink the ship.
They’re speaking to those who aren’t listening, and those who are see the obvious.
But their actions do not meet their words.
Instead each election cycle seems to be a game of “who can we sacrifice for a few more votes.”
THIS!!! So much THIS!!!
https://youtu.be/3eUjOV0ZlSQ?feature=shared
Surely not!
When I hear the phrase "all white jury" I don't want to hear any more.
You're delusional.
Americans don't want war mongers, liars, theives, & murderers as their President.
Those adjectives also apply to all
Democrats & Republicans.
They all accept AIPAC Bribes making them complicit in the genocide & ethnic cleansing in Palestine.
Were you trying to make a point ?
people want change without changing themselves
just look at what happened to boycotting the companies that supported Trump like Facebook and Amazon...
....Facebook reported increased earnings last quarter
that's what happened
They chose…THIS instead.
