Because the vice president of the United States of America is completely without agency, and can only have things done to her. She's not capable of making any decisions herself.
That's a wild take, dude. I think you should examine your framing and how you got there.
Hi. Voters have agency, too. If you helped install a fascist into the presidency, you've actively caused harm to the Palestinians and millions of others.
Nah I'm in California, in general elections for federal office I'm irrelevant. Just like about 270 million other Americans who don't live in swing states. We can all dutifully check the box but there was only a single person who could motivate the non-voters to the polls to impact the result.
Uh-huh. Except I saw y'all spend six months on social media talking shit about her. Dutiful my ass. We told you for months what would happen. We literally begged.
That's not me but I know the sort of person you're talking about. I had a 🌴🥥 after my name and everything. Voted unenthusiastically just like I did for Hillary.
But the whole time I was telling y'all that if she didn't change course on this, it might sink her. And here we are.
Makes overall shifted and that’s not a good look for the Dems(we can discuss that) we can support every group including men, we need to support men. We speak to women, we speak to LGBTQ, etc, we don’t speak to men in any meaningful way. I say this as a married woman with two kids.
Exactly and the leaders just actually leave them out of the platform altogether. As a mom of a grown son(he doesn’t view it this way, mind you) yet I do see how it’s a problem for men and we need to correct that. Now do men also need to work on themselves m? Yep but they need healthy role models
sorry, but anyone who was a '20 Biden voter who didn't vote for Harris in '24 because of Gaza is to blame for all shit we are about to deal with the next 4 years. Netanyahu was NEVER going to do a deal that would benefit Biden or Harris. NEVER! put blame where it belongs. with Trump and Netanyahu!
Kamala Harris did not have an option to break with the Biden/Harris work on the Hamas attack and Gaza and Lebanon war since she agreed with the approach. Support Israel while trying to help innocent Palestinians and get a peace agreement with path to Palestinian state. Trump will be much worse.
Biden applied as much pressure on Netanyahu as he could without withholding weapons. If he had withheld weapons and forced Israel into an existential fight with Iran it would've been much worse.
There was no downside to withholding offensive weapons. It's a trivial distinction to make between iron bombs and iron domes, providing tools of terror was completely unnecessary.
None of that mattered. It's not what Harris did or not, it's what the voters on right wing and social media HEARD (hint: lies and propaganda). Unless you control the narrative, the truth doesn't matter.
Probably a wash, either way. This doesn't take into account the massive mainstream media/ political fallout a sitting (D) vice president breaking with a sitting president over a foreign policy issue of this magnitude."Dems in disarray" x 100000. Plus, what % of these v's would trust her "sincerity."
No. we all paid a price for this. And fine, if voters couldn't vote the top of the ticket. there were plenty of down ballot races that could have made a difference in the house/senate. If Dems controlled the House today we would be in a much better position as a country.
Not surprising. Who could imagine any US President allowing the carnage that happened in Gaza being tolerated in any white non Muslim population. 12,456 killed & 28,382 injured since the beginning of the Ukraine war. US declared Putin a was criminal. 5x dead in Gaza 🦗. We aren’t stupid.
Kamala Harris pd the price created by the billionaire owners of US mass media/info & the disinfo, covering-up, rehabbing DJT's 1st admin, normalizing his ignorance & crimes & covering him 24/7, which they've done since '16 & which kept him in power post-2020. Ppl voted in line w their info sources
While they may be right it's not an excuse to just not vote for the better candidate. That's all elections are. you pick the one that's least worst. Especially if one is a fascist
We all paid the price of Biden not being honest about his aging related conditions and announcing in March that he would not be running for reelection.
You cannot run a campaign on “Trump sucks a vote for me”. The idiotic Dems who have a hard time getting out of their own way, threw her in feet first after Biden had promised to be a one term President. This was a catastrophe from the get-go.
She wouldn't have been the nominee if Biden hadn't picked her. Personally,I like loyalty. Not full, blind loyalty. But regular ol this my president who gave me my jobs policy, so as long as I'm in his administration, it's also publicly my policy..

The people who voted for trump or did not vote were looking at the election from far away.

There's your "framing."
But the whole time I was telling y'all that if she didn't change course on this, it might sink her. And here we are.
Not the actual politicians on the ballot, of course. But that's the discourse in progressive/left spaces.
