I held my nose and voted for her, but no credit because I'm a leftist. doesn't matter that I did the one thing they keep harping on about! so it's all kind of a big nothing! what more could they possibly want from us?
I bet the usual stuff. This clown @briancoulombe20.bsky.social accuses me of being obsessed with him when all he does is chat with him and search out people who say bad things about him and reports them to bob @danster20.bsky.social knows how vile Brian is
It’s amazing how many people can easily discern a lie from the truth when Trump and the GOP are involved but believe that the dems were working tirelessly for a ceasefire.
Ah, but you see, it's not in the job description for a vice president to oppose genocide, so her hands were completely tied. She had no choice but to commit to the slaughter of Palestinians.
I voted for Harris, but I don't blame those who didn't. The truth is that Democrats constantly underdeliver on their promises while running on campaigns of moral superiority. They never codified Roe or trans rights. They allow "moderates" in their party to undermine change at every turn.
These people really have to stop crying about the hypothetical leftists that didn't vote for Kamala and cost them the election lol Like dude, the liberal project is not attractive to the majority of the population, accept that and move on
These people all tell themselves that Democrats would have intervened on this. They would not. How do I know? Because they're not even talking about it right now. The only people who are are liberals who thinks it shames us.
they wouldn't have been cracking skulls and expelling students (which paved the way for Trump's more extreme measures) if they were planning on changing course after Harris won.
Even if you accept the premise that pro Palestine voters refusing to vote for Harris is what lost the election, it's *still* an indictment of Harris and the Democratic party. The decision to antagonize a significant and energetic section of your base and basically dare them not to vote for you 1/2
The purpose of political discourse is to invert all logic. The people in power are absolved of all responsibility for their crimes, while the people with no power who choose not to enable them, are treated as the perpetrators.
People responsible for the Genocide in Gaza, Ranked:
1) US Leftists
2) Palestinians
...
459) Trump and Biden for supplying weapons, diplomatic cover for the genocide
...
974) some group of unknown people, who seem to be committing genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza, unclear who these people are
Liberals are still blaming leftists who didn't vote for genocide instead of the politicians who were funding and arming it. If you add together all the votes for left-wing third party candidates to Harris' vote totals in the swing states, she still would've lost those states.
I voted for her! they love to make up a guy to be mad at when they should be mad at biden for cheerleading a genocide and running again after saying he wouldn't. This is all on Biden
They have to invent this enormous cadre of leftists who didn't vote for Harris (while at the same time saying the left is so tiny that courting our votes is meaningless) because they can never, under any circumstances acknowledge or learn from their own mistakes.
It was clear to anyone with half a brain that they weren’t actually doing anything to stop the genocide. They would occasionally say that bombing a certain area was a redline, but then there’d be no real consequences. It was obvious Netanyahu was trying to make Biden look weak, and he was weak.
And they just kept handing him bombs! Bombs everyone knew were and are being used to turn tiny innocent babies into smears of blood. And they like it! It's inhuman
There was constant defense of Israel from the Biden press team monsters and assurances that they would investigate themselves. They stopped one shipment of bombs but immediately resumed the shipments.
Other presidents cut off shipments to Israel and told them to knock the shit off in the past and it worked. Biden did nothing and his defenders that weren’t openly on board with the war insisted he couldn’t do anything about the shipment. That was totally horseshit.
THIS is the thing that I don't understand about these obnoxious liberal takes on Biden's handling of this. They act like every US President has always supported Israel like this. They haven't. Not even the Republicans. Biden is the one who gave them everything they needed to commit genocide
The only way to make this work is to blow up the first amendment, one of the outcomes that those previous presidents were carefully avoiding. Biden did that! The crackdowns happened under his watch, Trump didn't invent it
He absolutely did. Israel was constantly expecting to be reigned in but it never happened. They took that as a bright and clear green light, which is exactly what it was.
Harris doesn’t distance herself from Biden at all, even saying that not much will change from Biden’s administration to hers. Would she have been better than Biden on Gaza? Maybe, but she didn’t give voters any reason to believe she would.
Biden tells her he wants no daylight between them. At that point the establishment that pushed him to step aside could’ve also said “fuck off, Joe” but they also wanted to win without changing any policy on Israel or giving any concessions to progressives. They thought Harris would be enough.

I think he just has a condition.

seems a more likely rationale than "they're evil bad guys who are evil and not actually leftists at all"
