By the way, both women who ran for president were right. They predicted this moment would happen. Says something very disturbing about our country that many still think they’re unrealistic or dramatic, when they were and are, in fact, correct.

Gerrymandering, campaign donations, hype on MSM, lack of content for commentary creators, all helped, but let’s not forget that we all got robbed in primary 2016. That’s what gave us Donald.
Too often, people only embrace what fits within their comfort zone. But when truth rises—undeniable and unshakable—it awakens them, pushing them to see, rise with purpose, and act in defense of what truly matters. Let's embrace the NOW with urgency and get back to building a better future for all.
Remember it was cold out and your Mom said to bring your jacket and you thought you didn't need it, and then you were freezing and didn't have your jacket? We've been trained to ignore women.
And if not outright ignore women, they make sure to ask after every statement, “are you sure?” Or “how do you know?” Or they wait to actually follow advice until they can get it corroborated by a male.
And heaven help us if we actually say “no”. Good lord the amount of times I’ve been strong armed, guilted, or wheedled after I said no. I say no, they keep asking. I try to give reasons and they try to devalue every point. Then they try to bargain.
Yup. I’ve started making sure to point it out every movie my husband and I watch where there’s a married couple and something bad happens and wife has solution but husband ignores her. And then all this stupid stuff happens cause of that. It’s so embedded in our culture to ignore women.
What's more disturbing is we have a political party (Democrats) who want to foist their ideology upon an electorate, rather than listen to that electorate, however imperfect it may be. THAT has given us 8 years of Trump, instead of 8 yrs of Biden or Bernie. YOU FUCKING IDIOTS
BOTH women that ran are dncorpwhores who won't give us any more than their corp masters will allow. Wonder why the centrist dncorpwhores embraced the moderate republicunts....they are the same.
BOTH CUNTS CHEATED Bernie. I can't vote for liars and cheaters like them EITHER!
Bernie would have WON!
Fuck this BERNIE WAS RIGHT narrative and this corporate shill/whore narrative. Bernie still did nothing to save us from Trump. Know why? Cuz his supporters gave us Trump
As a forward thinking female, I understand your words.
As a girl raised through the 50’s 60’s and 70’s I know what it felt like to be pushed aside and ignored because I was just a girl, what did I know.
I have always stood up for what I thought was right. I knew Hilary was right.
damn man maybe when the Supreme Court ruled that the President has unlimited ability to do crimes during HIS presidency he should have had all the fascists assassinated then, sucks to fucking suck
Young people don't care about bullshit democratic norms that proved to be worthless in the end. We want reverse Trump. We want a dictator who jails transphobes and has billionaires publicly executed.
What would acceptable accountability look like? I don't mean only for this - we've not been good at accountability, generally. We need to sort it out, because even great people are flawed. And the consequences are devastating when we aren't able to act as good faith guardrails for each other.
I’m entirely unqualified to suggest what accountability should look like for what the Palestinians have suffered because no candidate considered their lives worth more than their own personal ambitions but I would suggest that it start with moving on from Liberal politics and trying socialist ideas
Oh, be careful about pointing this out. A woman's intuition is a real thing, and has gotten a lot of us burned at the stake. We don't want them to bring those days back.
Why people don't believe us when we tell you shit is going to hit the fan if people vote specifically for shit to hit the fan. Then they're surprised when the entire place stinks and covered in brown.
Like it's super obvious for us who are wired for intuition and pattern recognition!
No, we have Trump because politicians lean overwhelmingly to the right and never holding candidates to moral standards and insisting on voting for “lesser” evils. Keep voting for evil and you’ll get evil. “Lesser” becomes less “lesser” the more slack you give the rope.
Trump will burn down America because Canada wouldn't tell him he was a big strong boy and these people will still scream that women are too emotional to be in charge
Trump is burning the country down because he hates God and humans and his tiny dick and he wants revenge against everything and everyone. He is a mentally ill and demented pervert that is too much of a coward to be violent. He should have died in jail two decades ago
We are taught very young that we are less than men. We see it on tv. We hear from teachers, bosses. We feel it when we’re harassed, abused and mistreated by men. It took me 40 years to realize how bad it is. I can’t count how many times I’ve been in danger because of a man. It’s awful.
One of the women was grilled by a House committee (on something she couldn’t have done anything about) for hours and hours. One accusation after another, but 0 wrongdoing found $2million spent. Jim Jordan ignores Senate subpoena without penalty. The difference?D woman versus R male on FOXNEWS.
To be fair the women were Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris. The Democratic Party could have done way better if they grew a spine and would stop pandering to the right.
GMAFB Both of those women were highly educated, experienced and qualified. That anyone either chose to vote for Trump or worse, didn’t vote all just to stick it to Harris, knowing damn well what was at stake, is appalling and unforgivable.
Kamala was quite literally the most progressive and most qualified candidate that has ever run. That's not even up for debate. That's facts based on her accomplishments and voting records.
“Nothing will change” was a terrible thing to say on the campaign trail. It wasn’t only about genocide, Harris said she would continue the same immigration policies as Biden (Trump’s anti-muslim ban), same anti-labor tactics, same train safety rules…
I hope @governorwalz.mn.gov and @kamalahqofficial.bsky.social and @hillaryclinton.bsky.social
go on "I TOLD YOU SO" tours of Trump areas, holding rallies in which the central message is "I TOLD YOU SO", and raise money for local charities that have been decimated by DOGE/Trump.
Well I believe you - woman to woman. I see the writing on the wall plain as day.
Remember, women in the Middle East USED TO be able to do everything including wear bikinis. It just took a shitty authoritarian religious dictator to change all that.
Women = too emotional!
Immigrants = criminals, and they eat the cats!
Trans = they’re everywhere, converting our children!
Non-whites = DEI! (N-word)
Liberals = Dangerous!
Kyle Rittenhouse = Hero! Speaker at the RNC!
All thinly veiled code for "I'm frightened of you."
One of them supported genocide and was nominated by skipping the democratic primary process. She also centered her campaign on appealing to right of center of voters and her campaign spent $1.5bn to call anyone who might consider a third option a Trump supporter.
You're right, of course, but "by the way" feels patronizing. Like its a revelation or something. Its just another example of the OH SO MANY ways that are disturbing (many of them subtle) about how this country treats women. I know you're well-intentioned.
BOTH WOMEN ARE A-OK WITH GENOCIDE, so fuck off with this “they told you so!” dreck. They didn’t stop Trump, they didn’t even slow him down. Most of the Democratic leadership *approves* of him disappearing protesters.
Yup! And so did Kamala Harris. Yes, we live in a patriarchy and it is slowly strangling us - ALL OF US - and quickly turning the U.S. into a third world country. #ButHerEmails #SheLaughsFunny
America is the God of the Incels. It’s the land of white supremacy, Western religion (one that exploits and enslaves) and those in power are adult children of privilege.
America has a weak soul represented and brought to you by weak men.
It continues to blow my mind all the myths and allegations about women being incapable of leading when we have so many examples of men being absolutely disastrous as leaders. I mean epic levels of disastrous. Fuck patriarchal mindsets. They are literally killing us in so many ways.
They may have been right about bad shit Trump would do, but they were wrong about what policies and rhetoric would win over the electorate - which is the whole ball game
Winning elections hasn't been about reality for a while. It's about stirring certain emotions in certain ways so the marginal voter thinks they're voting for whatever deep desires.
Dems (incl me) were slow to realize voters were taking DT to be his Apprentice character, a successful CEO.
Too bad they couldn't win layup elections. The moderate status quo bullshit isn't going to win anymore. Kamala is off making millions in speaking fees, and Doug is doing pro bono work for Trump at his new firm! Both parties are rotten by lobbied interests.
Hard for a nation with so many misogynists in it, who spend all their time listening to even bigger misogynists, to listen to a woman let alone understand what one is saying.
At best, you're saying Hillary and Kamala were correct along with millions of other Americans.
I've lived in SF for Kamala's entire political career, and I have an analysis about her weakness as a campaigner. It's useful because it's about how Trump won and what the Dems can do to win in the future
Harris couldn't compete with 8 years of trump being in the news daily and getting the bulk of the press by mainstream media. He's been in campaign mode even when he's in office.
The fact that she was right is besides the point. MAGAts are not rational beings and don't care about facts. You clearly still don't get that we aren't dealing with logical thinkers and that the media has also failed in its duty as the 4th estate. Clinton was right too and yet here we are, AGAIN.🤔
That’s the problem with “she’s right” comment. Instead of finding a solution to win now and in the future, we rehash the past and make Kamala voters, which I assume we both are, divided.
I voted for Harris, I knew trump was going to be a total disaster. I'm beyond tired of seeing all the could have, should have, would have. Guess what? WE DON'T HAVE. That is the current reality, live in the now. The Hilbots went on for years with this same stupid whiney shit that fixed nothing.
Being right means nothing. They were both the wrong candidates. Sanders won the first time but the women in the DNC decided what we want doesn't matter. This time another group divided that a Black women should be running even though it was proven that Blacks weren't wanted in that office.
I parted ways with a friend of many years who posted:
No matter how much you hate him, it won't make her qualified. This is a woman who works with veterans and recovering addicts. I can't stomach that level of idiocy.
We could have had honor, joy, compassion and intelligence in the Whitehouse and yet here we are. Take a stand. #ProtectTheConstitution #ProtectTheRuleofLaw #aRepublicifWeCanKeepIt #WeThePeople 🇺🇸
And both women were two of the most prepared and accomplished candidates who EVER ran in our history. Howany people "couldn't" vote for them because they were women ("aren't tough enough" or "aren't strong")? How many times have I heard: "I'm not prejudiced" or "I'm not racist."
PROVE. ME. WRONG.
Again. When someone says "garbage campaigns and shitty policies," you want better, put your two cents and stay in the game. You want "perfect?" Do it yourself. Spend your life getting to perfect. What do you think everyone else does? Everyone is fucking up and picking themselves up. Oh, you have
And? The image you post is unrelated to the words.
Has Trump put "conditions" on Israel? Has Israel changed its perspective or position?
Unfortunately, we can only measure words to actions. After the fact. "Conservative," word usage tries to avoid Lying or "overselling."
Fuck off with the “perfection” bullshit. Not a single lefty I know actually expects a “perfect candidate”. We were ALL willing to compromise. Hell, fucking Bernie was a compromise - he’s barely left of center!
Demanding party loyalty despite shitty candidates is MAGA logic. Fuck that.
I am not "party," nor do I demand loyalty. I either say something plainly, or not. If not, it is MY fault. Not yours for not understanding. But don't get pissy because you don't like hearing something. You MAY be an individual, but you don't write like one. Just pissy.
Kamala Harris was not a compromise. She is a right-wing warmonger who refused to stand for morality. We warned you she couldn’t beat Trump without some serious policy shifts. And she lost.
Genocide is one of the worst war crimes imaginable. Taking a stand against it is a GOOD THING.
It’s really telling how much liberals demand we accept some genocide from party leaders as unavoidable. That should tell you how bad democrats are. They can’t seem to get over a bar so low it’s sitting on the ground. They do not deserve anyone’s loyalty and need to go away.
From what perspective are you making this comment? Sorry, but although they are women, their qualifications were (and are) miles beyond this drivel.
You voted based on what? campaigns and "policies?" Both had policies. What do you think we have now? "Policies?"
Let me step back before I go on.
You’re reading posts on a text-based social network - what are you expecting here other than words? What do you think you know about my life from reading my posts? How arrogant are you?
I don't know all the abbreviations of programs you mentioned, but I know the differences between local and state goals and national ones. The federal government CAN, and should, allow local experiments with programs with an eye to whether it can (and should) be implemented nationally.
When you refer to continuing to "back" Biden 's "genocidal" backing of Israel. Do you mean the open embrace of the Netenyahu "centrist" and corrupt Israeli government? (Trump and Republicans) or the seeking to both support Israelis (the people) survival against an increasingly fascist Israeli
Did she actually promise that? Or did she just not say much because speaking out against the military industrial complex can be fraught in an election?
And before you say it, yes, I’m painfully aware all of those would be uphill battles but isn’t that kinda the purpose of campaign promises? Not what you know you can deliver but what you’re going to work towards?
Yes. What you can work towards. FYI, and I've said this multiple times. I define myself as a "conservative." But I also am a registered Democrat and would never vote Republican. I have stated my reasons in multiple WRITTEN statements (so I can't deny having the views). I believe true Progressives
Yes. But campaigns are NOT "promises." And listening carefully and weighing against actions is what are doing (or should be). We ALL had a comparison of words and actions with Trump. We had words and aspirations with Harris. You can lobby for future actions, but not with past history.
Hell, we all would probably recognize that those were just vote-catching promises but it would have demonstrated she was paying attention to what the people wanted and was making some amount of effort to court us and win our votes. Instead she just basically said she’d be Biden II.
Tack on AOC. americans refuse to listen to women. Pakistan elected a woman head of state in 1988. 1988. Fuckin’ Pakistan. The US is a bad country now, just is.
Notice how those assholes never bitched about what the VP does until a woman filled that role? Blatant misogyny, and many women are guilty of it in this case. I’ve seen it first hand.
Misogyny is still very rampant in the USA. I hear and see stuff Americans say online as a Canadians and it's shocking. Stuff I haven't seen people in Canada say in some 30 years... It's like they are stuck in the past.
I think it says something more nefarious than that, Victor. I think, as a culture, we defer to male leaders & solutions because we’ve been taught to mistrust our own instincts and voices. Maybe this round of DADDY’S recklessness will convince that segment of voters that Daddy doesn’t care about you
The fact a sizable portion of the country (albeit still less than half) would really rather have the life long criminal grifter rapist, over ANY woman, in charge of everything, speaks volumes about how ignorant and hateful and misogynistic our people are.
We need a woman as POTUS in 2029... I hope she and many other Americans armed to the teeth can help stop Trump's J6 2029 burning of America, the first target of which would be Washington DC.
Voting isn’t enough and when they mobilize their constituents they fail to give them efforts to achieve goals and claim victory. They show up! They would win if they ever did fight instead of just pretending ordinary mundane action is what will be decisive in these extraordinarily trying times.
Yup, exactly. And our warnings were pretty specific - give us a better option, improve your own campaign, or be prepared to lose.
They smugly demanded we be less picky and once again vote for a “lesser evil” that was a conservative warmonger. And then shocked-pikachu-face when they lost.
I was actuality referring to even before that, we kept warning people before his first stint but Democrats kept inching towards the right so much, away from the left, they didn't see how they've ended up in the climate they're in and they have the audacity to be shocked, and to blame the left

We’re used to it. I told my fam about Covid back when it was still just vague musings about pangolins in wet markets in China. I was literally called “over dramatic” to my face. The “I told you so” part is not as much fun as you’d think.
I blame the men in this country god forbid a woman shows them how it’s done. But show them photos of Melania naked and suddenly she’s the classiest FLOTUS ever… sure we all know guys only vote for women that they think are “Hot” god forbid they have a brain!
And any sane person would have to admit that Republicans have tanked the economy every single time they’ve been in office. They don’t have the ability to make sound economic decisions.
Both of them had access to the highest levels of U.S. intelligence, including Trump's relationships with foreign actors.
If anyone should have been believed, it was Clinton and Harris.
b/c we know what evil men will do before they do it-it's in our DNA-for SO many centuries, & to varying degrees still, our well being, safety, often our lives-depended on the whim of some man - we know what we see & we do not doubt our instincts - for us it is survival -so listen up when we warn you
Really?
What's 2 things that these women have in common?
They were not ignored, because they both ran against and lost to trump.
Americans were so disappointed in Hillary and Kamala that trump won
and now
They have the arrogance to go around and do "told you so's"
Your third sentence should read "They were so opposed to having a female President that they voted for an obnoxious, male, criminal, narcissistic moron wholly unsuited for the job."
I didn’t vote for Trump - he got fewer votes than any other winning candidate. The issue wasn’t people voting for him in large numbers, it was Harris being a lame shitty candidate who couldn’t provide a better reason to vote for her than not being Trump.
Two women telling us " I yold you so" instead of doing something about it. Like getting the Hell out of teh way and letting a white man get into office and make the changes we all needed. Like abortion. Like women's rights . Like National; Healthcare. But they had to have a woman. Such hubris!
This is enough to make anyone (who believes in truth and in what their eyes see and ears hear) to believe in intuition, especially a woman’s intuition.
And both didn't do a thing to turn it around, like recounts of swing states, bomb threats investi, voter manipulation. I saw it difficult for Hillary to do,since there was nothing to pinpoint election interference on at the time.She knew.
It was happening right in front of Harris' eyes & nothing.
He isn't just an opponent. He was a convict, a liar, misogynist, a racist, illiterate, failed businessman.... the list goes on. And it is REMARKABLE that when given a choice.... we chose that over a competent, successful woman.
True. It’s this and also all the movies I’ve watched where there’s a married couple and something happens and wife has solution but husband ignores wife and then so much avoidable stupidity happens.
Victor have you seen this? Women are unlikely to get a chance to run again. They won't be able to vote soon if thye changed their names when they got marrried.
Thank you! I don't know when we (America) are gonna get with the times. If I know my history, black men were granted the vote before women. We fought hard, and eventually women got the vote. Not surprising that women's rights are first to go.
Comments
We disenfranchised a large segment of the population, nearly a full 1/3, and they resorted to hate as a response.
We're living thru a civil war that won't end until we're civil again.
Now you get genocide and a depression.
BOTH CUNTS CHEATED Bernie. I can't vote for liars and cheaters like them EITHER!
Bernie would have WON!
As a girl raised through the 50’s 60’s and 70’s I know what it felt like to be pushed aside and ignored because I was just a girl, what did I know.
I have always stood up for what I thought was right. I knew Hilary was right.
Democratic candidates spoke plain truths about Trump, but many sought out reasons to ignore them.
Kamala would have been a good president too.
Republicans voted to kill us get revenge.
Like it's super obvious for us who are wired for intuition and pattern recognition!
Embracing GOP policy was always a losing tactic.
go on "I TOLD YOU SO" tours of Trump areas, holding rallies in which the central message is "I TOLD YOU SO", and raise money for local charities that have been decimated by DOGE/Trump.
S/S at risk.
Measles deaths. (More soon)
Non-criminals disappeared
Market crash.
Martial law next.
Im still treated like the hysterical woman. 😡

We all get it bc it’s happened to us all
No matter how much you hate him, it won't make her qualified. This is a woman who works with veterans and recovering addicts. I can't stomach that level of idiocy.
Because somehow even this man, after all he's done, is still more competent. Stock crash must've been inevitable 🤷♂️
The people in our government over the last 50 years have caused the problems being fixed now.
PROVE. ME. WRONG.

One could also point out a lack of support for any meaningful popular reforms/social programs like UBI, M4A, fully legal weed, etc.
Sacrifices have been offered
Gruesome and not forgiven yet held as a lesson and guide
Nauseated
Facts are facts wether they come from a penis or not.
🤬🤬🤬
Kamala warned us about Project 2025.
Not enough voters listened.
What we needed was actual policy to steer us back in the direction, not smug “well I’m not Trump so vote for me or else” and cozying up to warmongers.
And genocide.
This is their fault, not ours.
They smugly demanded we be less picky and once again vote for a “lesser evil” that was a conservative warmonger. And then shocked-pikachu-face when they lost.

Were Nevada ballots changed? Data expert details problems with vote data https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6G8fu50VRXo&t=113s
Harris cheated out of 3,650,000 votes by these Jim Crow tricks.
4.7 million voters purged.
3.2 million registrations rejected.
2.1 million mail-in ballots tossed.
