So many people from AOC to Fetterman criticized Kamala Harris for highlighting these threats to our democracy during her campaign and/or for campaigning with Liz Cheney. Kamala Harris was right. Would be nice for them to admit they were wrong.

Kamala was right but she lost the election. Fetterman is just a fool. And I don't think AOC doubted Trump's threat to democracy & our republic but believed Kamala needed to speak more about issues affecting people directly. A bad election to lose & Kamala could have done better.
That doesn't make sense. MANY people warned about Trump's threat to democracy, but Kamala made huge mistakes, and failed to build or lead any resistance movement after the election. She doesn't deserve anything. I don't hate her, but she isn't special.
Or the establishment can stop moving to the right to appease dark money donors. But no, no, let's go with your stupid idea because it's easier for your tiny mind to accept.🙄
This is the answer. Citizens United was the last nail in The confident representative government. If you can't write them a check with 4-5 zeros, you're not a constituent you're unnecessary evil.
I dont care who was wrong or right at this point. I care about who is actively in the fight right now. And I aint heard shit from Kamala or Biden since Biden's wanna-be Eisenhower speech.
AOC is our only hope right now. Heck all the former Presidents dont have the courage she has right now.
Dems can't move far enough to the right for you can they ?😉 Fetterman is a piece of work and I don't know who still thinks he's decent any more. And OMG an actual progressive woman of color who critisizes the raging moderates and doesn't kiss corporate ass.
Sorry, I guess it was all her talk about ironclad commitment to Israel and touting the most "lethal military in the world". Just, y'know, screams fascist to me.
No one forced her to campaign with Liz Cheney who holds all the same views as Trump aside from the events of January 6. Hell I’m old enough to remember her father stealing the 2020 election. She doesn’t care about stealing elections just how you go about doing it.
Kamala was fully supportive of the genocide, fuck out of here with that "She was right" bullshit. Everyone knew the danger Trump posed and she refused to budge on genocide, too busy courting moderate Republicans and abandoning most of the people who supported her party.
Agreed—it doesn't matter that she's "better than Trump." She fully supported a genocide and pushed her party platform further right to win moderate voters while alienating leftists, making her an unfavorable pick for everyone. We need a complete political overhaul, not more useless corpo politicians
you're thinking of moderates, not leftists. all that talk about leftists not voting or protest voting was mostly talk and if all the third party voters in the country went for Harris she still would have lost.
Actually from the numbers I’ve seen I’m not sure that’s true. Would have to examine the swing state results. But then, I’m not convinced someone wasn’t leaning on the scales in every swing state anyway - voting patterns are very suspect - so it wouldn’t have mattered.
"As president, I will do everything in my power to end the war in Gaza," Harris said. "To bring home the hostages, end the suffering in Gaza, ensure Israel is secure and ensure the Palestinian people can realize their right to dignity, freedom, security and self determination."
"When Vice President Kamala Harris addressed the delegates at the Democratic National Convention Thursday evening, she promised to seek pragmatic solutions to urgent problems. And balancing the U.S. commitment to Israeli security with support for Palestinian rights is Pragmatism 101."
"At the same time what has happened in Gaza in the past 10 months is devastating. So many innocent lives lost. The scale of suffering is heartbreaking ..."
Harris, Aug 2024
But what exactly ARE those words and actions?
Can you cite some?
When I search "Harris is okay with Gazans and anyone else perishing", I don't get evidence to use to defend that claim.
Show me, please, the magic tablets you see. Will I need the goggles so I can see into the Wasatch?
What? Name a high-level US politician for any side OTHER THAN THOSE related to BDS who supported the embargo?
You have a lot of nerve.
You are asking Harris to do what basically only BDS has done.
Sanders = similar statement as by Harris cited by me earlier.
You're bad faith. You.
That would have been a bolder, braver move than a standard Dem like Kamala is capable of. I don't expect that of someone in her position at the time, it would be impractical and career-ending. She isn't charismatic enough to spin that into her being a popular "leader of the resistance" type.
I don't mean any disrespect to you.
I don't love how Harris handled the situation.
I see inaccuracies about her and her position, however, that are not truthful, aren't based in more fact than conjecture, & are generally derived from frustration with our situation + not knowing how to address it. 🌹
Also, "Working towards a "cease fire" while also providing unlimited weapons that are being used to do a genocide" IS NOT the same claim as "while also providing unlimited weapons that are being used to do a genocide" as your own words prove "fully" to describe your posit on Harris is inaccurate.
Whoa, okay. I am performing normal scholarly due diligence.
I am deliberate based on primary sources + record keeping + analysis.
If you have a problem with that, I'll bid you a good day.
Again, ALL US taxpayers are guilty of this since at least 2012; she clearly wanted both groups to come to peace and restoration; she GRASPS the difficulty of the goal since Israel's inception in the late 40s and because more non-Israelis perished in initial conflict, and have ever since.
Is she really asking both sides to come to peace? Cuase if I was doing conflict resolution I wouldn't hand one party a fresh magazine and turn around for 5 minutes so I could pretend to be suprised
Also, many thought Shapiro would've been better, but: "In the article, Shapiro also claimed he once volunteered for the Israeli Defense Force (IDF), but his campaign said Friday that he was “required to do a service project” in high
“We all have a responsibility to speak out against antisemitism, Islamophobia, homophobia, transphobia, racism, and all forms of hatred and bigotry, especially as we see a spike in hate crimes in America,” she said
Once more: if you are a US taxpayer, you are guilty of the same. So am I.
So are the leaders we enjoy or prefer.
So are ISRAELIs by the admission of their own leadership AND conservative + liberal press.
Because an arms *embargo* would prevent the US from supplying defensive (Iron Dome) weapons. We don't truly know if she would have approved offensive weapons, or any weapons unconditionally to Israel, because she wasn't POTUS. Do most Americans support unlimited rocket attacks on Israeli civilians?
Oh please. Over 200k people have been killed by Israel. Over 50k due to weapons provided by the US under Biden. And Harris said in the Democratic convention she would arm Israel. Don't give me your rocket bs when Israel is leveling civilians like it is nothing.
Then boycott Israel or whatever, I just think this is the logic Harris was faced with. If it were up to me, there wouldn't even be an Israel or Palestine.
That polling makes me more optimistic about the average Democratic voter. I'm glad you shared it. Doesn't mean she'd win the race, as she'd need to still win R votes, and the popular vote doesn't decide the race anyway. The GOP would have cast her as a black antisemite supporting JEWISH genocide.
"Israel is not "defending itself", they are brutally attacking."
Totally 100% with you here.
I appreciate the poll data and wish whoever runs opposite the GOP and Trump Volk heeds it.
As we are losing our democracy with each day, it's hard to think she should have mentioned it. But Americans let themselves get fooled again. If we ever have a fair election again, we need to have a big tent & not have purity tests in the face of an existential threat.
Let’s be honest, those of us who have a brain know that this election was rigged by Russia and Musk, trump and others,it wouldn’t matter what Harris did she would’ve lost,pundits don’t tell the truth,it’s ignorance and lies that caused her loss, plus being a woman of color never helped. Sadly
Ah yes, nothing like evading trouble by making a sock using my exact same username but with a different number. A plan so brilliant not even a middle schooler would do it.
She… was wrong for campaigning with Liz Cheney. What a strange alt history you’ve created in your head. Turns out appealing to the right wing doesn’t work for Dems. Why would they want conservative flavored La Croix when they could have racism right from the tap?
Who could have known America was a country so racist/sexist that they would choose a white supremacist rapist felon over the competent Black woman and then turn around and blame the Black woman for their choice?
Anyone paying attention, sadly. But appealing to the people who at best don’t care about the racism of the right, isn’t a winning political strategy for the Dems. It’s been shown. I don’t blame Harris as much as the Dem establishment and the advice to start running to the right.
Ymmv but I blame voters since I see my vote as something I owe to the vulnerable around me to mitigate harm, not something I own that a party/candidate earns only if I deem them worthy. It’s also a signal to allies, imo, who now know they can’t trust R, D, or I voters to protect our alliances.
I mean, people can only vote for the choices they’re given. That’s the fundamental limitation of party-dominated political systems. I admire seeing your vote as a responsibility to others. It’s just one small part of the multiplicity of tactics to achieve actual change or improvement.
She was campaigning for the preservation of democracy, nothing else and nothing else means no policy. If you’d followed any of her campaign events, you’d know this.
I did pay attention. There were some policies in there, but the great rhetoric that her campaign kicked off with got toned down by the democratic establishment advisors and donor class.
I pay attention to words and this is just another way of saying you didn’t. Because that didn’t happen. BTW your OG post was about Cheney and it morphed into something else. That’s called moving the goalposts.
See, these people have bizarrely decided that Cheney saying
"trump is an existential threat to our country, vote for Harris" is the same exact thing as voting for Cheney and all her policies. Because somebody told them so and they never bothered to think about it.
Fuck this. We are in the middle of a coup and you want to go back and relitigate everything and set up sessions of self-criticism. AOC is out there fighting for us now. Give it a rest.
If I'm not mistaken it was more about her being part of the Biden administration and people disagreeing with funding Israel to attack Gaza, or people not connecting with Democrats anymore bc they haven't been helping the working class.
Spot on imho. People spent 10 yrs (or longer) voting for Dems because they were the lesser of 2 evils and for some reason they decided to be more obviously evil in response.
Yeah. That’s why AOC spoke at the DNC and said what would happen if Trump was elected. And why did Kamala push campaigning so hard with Liz Cheney and lost? I don’t remember too many democrats saying Kamala was wrong about Trump’s threat to democracy.
You are so lost my man. People vote for change when they are angry. Trotting out Liz and the message was we will keep things normal as they were and people were in pain as things were. This is why we lose.
It’s much worse now. Anyone paying attention knew it would be. Low info swing voters aren’t paying attention they’re looking at who will change their current reality which is angering them. All they had to do was offer a change. Now we’re stuck for 4 years.
I doubt the Americans who are sitting in an El Salvadorian prison right now (for no reason) agree with you about which candidate should have been president. Nor do teachers. veterans. federal employees. And soon to be ALL of Gaza. Third-party voters lack perspective.
Bullshit. All people had to do was vote for the SANE human being. Change comes later. Third-party voters are selfish, and more than likely lead a completely safe and sheltered life. There will never be a candidate everyone likes but people could've voted for the human being this time around.
Donald Trump was a vote for regression not progress. The threat of Trump was the greatest threat to the United States since the bay of pigs or maybe the civil war. To run a newcomer on economic issues while downplaying the fascism thing is just Chuck Schumer with a different face.
Low information voters / swing voters are just hitting the change button it’s that simple. If you run on maintaining the status quo’s while people are suffering they become willing risk making things worse if they believe change will be made. Most regret it immediately but it’s reality.
Kamala Harris had a campaign slogan about "a new way forward," and her use of Liz Cheney in campaigning was to highlight the danger to democracy posed by the GOP ticket.
I'm curious about what voters thought that avoiding a fascist future was a "keep the painful status quo" argument.
I agree that it was a terrible period for incumbents facing election globally, and the data show that Harris outperformed on that basis. (& she did far better than Biden would have)
So you're telling us that she paraded around with fascists to prove how dangerous fascism is?
How'd that go, cause from over here, it sure looked like she was siding with fascists who should be in prison
We can disagree with Liz Cheney politically on everything. She is not a hero. But she investigated the Jan 6 insurrection, voted to impeach, and respects the Constitution & rule of law in a way that the GOP administration does not. That’s the danger she was pointing out.
I think she trotted out Liz because she was trying to win voters; she was accused of being too far left and "making less than 1% of our population her main focus." I hear several iterations of those narratives. She was between a rock & a hard place. And Liz with liberals is anything but "normal."
In every election republicans vote republican democrats vote democrat and a small number of low information swing voters decide the election. When the core of the campaign is return to norms, I won’t raise taxes on you or in English I won’t make any changes to your economic situation. Not change.
It is quite obvious leading up to and after the election that the margins were close and Harris would have benefitted from picking up extra votes. 51% voted for Harris or other, but 48% voted Harris. Isn't it pretty obvious what she was trying to do?
Lincoln faced the same issue with slavery that
When democrats say I won’t raise your taxes while people are suffering what they hear is we know you’re struggling but we will change nothing. People don’t want a fair tax system they want it tipped to their advantage for a change. Until Dems realize that they risk losing to someone like this.
I don't hear Dems often say they won't raise taxes. That simply is not a common mantra of theirs and I have studied the parties for over 40 years, and been alive much longer.
Oh, and northern Ill was anti-slavery, southern Ill was very pro-slavery pre-bellum, which is why Lincoln altered his tone.
Lincoln was the first Republican, so no one party has the lock on stance changes.
Harris faced with Gaza--someone is going to be upset over their stances.
Lincoln once gave a campaign speech in northern Illinois where he promised to end the hated slavery; days apart, in southern Illinois, he tempered his tone and did not call for an end to slavery and a push to equality, but he
exhorted to not end the Union over slavery, as was about to happen at that time. With Netanyahu funding Hamas through Qatar since 2012 + the Gaza war emerging just before our election, there's a calculus there, it worked, and you're here pushing the same narrative that put Harris in a tough spot.
Personally, I'd much rather look forward at the MFs dismantling the country than look back. There's plenty of blame on the dems to go around; AOC and Fetterman have been quite different since the election, and the difference is profound.
Nope. Thats not it. The problem is- we don't love a lot of these politicians because they aren't fighting- look no further than Chuck Schumer. We can't even get the party to rally to get him to step aside as Minority leader.
Kamala Harris was nothing but a bandaid on a bullet wound. Even though I hate this timeline, the silver lining is that people have woken up from their complacency coma and are willing to fight for a better world for everyone. #leftisbest
It was an absolute mistake to cuddle up to right wing Liz Cheney. Jesus Christ, Liz Cheney threw women under the bus every opportunity she got when she was in Congress all you have to do is go look at her voting record. It’s not hard. She still hasn’t retracted that Democrats kill full grown babies.
They can also apologize to Hillary Clinton, who was also right about everything. Unfortunately, they’re still in BIG denial, and will die before they admit they messed up. The only time they own their actions is when they throw themselves under the bus for Trump.
Cult behavior is a problem whether it comes from the cultists who say that Trump was right about everything or the cultists who say that Hillary was right about everything.
No. People who seek positions of power are never right about everything and we need to question all of them.
I’m really not here for this “both sides” junk. Nobody is perfect. Fine. But one of the two sent non-classified emails from the wrong email account and had it stolen from her by hackers. The other sent war plans in signal without checking recipients, eliminated cancer research, and hired Nazis.
It is not "both sides", it is about politicians who don't have our best interests in mind. Trump is worse, I don't deny that, but we are not going to beat Trump by telling Americans that Hillary is right about everything and blaming them for a fascist takeover if they don't agree.
If she was right about everything, then why did she and her husband encourage Trump to run in the first place? Why did she elevate him as a pied piper strategy? Why did she compare the overwhelming support for universal healthcare to "everyone wanting a pony"?
They won’t. They’ll just take the same stance and act like she never existed. But trust me, Black Women are watching and we see that the Democratic Party has decided to move on without us.
That was a genuine question. Where is she?? Where’s Biden? Obama? All the heavy hitters that could stand up to Trump are just gone (unless I missed something)
But where is she now? She was supposed to be the party leader. Trump effectively led the GOP from the sidelines for 4 years. The Dems have no central leadership. This is why we’re losing.
No one criticized for trump's threats. She was wrong for muzzling walz, wrong for touting Cheney endorsements, wrong for not condemning Israel, wrong for turning her back on the working class, wrong for saying she would include republicans in her cabinet.
She said the US will have the "most lethal military in history". She sided with big business and right-wingers. She was coronated by political pundits and big donors, and she poo-pooed the idea of universal healthcare. Now the Blue MAGA jackasses are trying to shift the blame.
I honestly think the problem is a case of boy-who-cried-wolf syndrome. Harris was 100% correct in her assessment of Trump but Americans had already heard these warnings before in 2016 and 2020. Clinton and Biden had the exact same messaging- “Trump is a dictator”, “Trump will destroy America”, etc
And so for a lot of Americans, this messaging felt like hyperbole- “the Democrats said the same thing last time and we were fine, so surely this wont be any different”.
The problem is most Americans dont understand the REASON Trump1 “wasnt that bad” compared to Trump2 is because his staff were SO uneducated about how govt works that they spent 99% of their time “catching up” on agency functions, and never actually got the chance to
do any real damage
THIS time is different because after 2020 is staff regrouped and did a “lessons learned”, and came up with an actual plan (p2025) to gut the bureaucracy. Unfortunately when Harris tried to warn everyone, it just fell on deaf ears…
Point to me where AOC ever criticized Kamala for highlighting threats to our democracy. This is a rage bait post that means nothing. Meanwhile, AOC is out there doing shit while establishment Democrats do fuck all.
Except for those Dems working hard to win houses seats, flip state legislatures, or get Dem hedges elected
I notice that more than anything spooked Trump
Didn’t pull the Stefanik nom til after losing a state legislature
This is psychotic, none of them were saying she was wrong, they were saying politely that that kind of messaging doesn’t resonate with checked-out swing state randos half as well as OFFERING them stuff, most americans lost faith in “democracy” a few elections ago and want their side to win forever
It’s unfortunate, people should care about democracy! But swing voters don’t, if they did they’d already be voting democrat. Democrats need to entice middle America with more than “vote for us and you can still vote for us next time,” they need to show that they stand for improving people’s lives
Ah yes the send the pedo to Dearborn MI to lecture family members about antisemitism, while kicking 6 M Biden victory base in the teeth cosigning Trump 2016 immigration policy was "right".
She was wrong to run with republicans. She was wrong to write love poems to her Glock. She was wrong to stick with the genocide. She was wrong to carry Biden’s losing policies.
Yes, the minorities harmed by Liz Cheney are in the wrong. Could never be the the politician who voted against equality legislation at every chance possible. No, no. She's just an innocent smol bean. It's those damn gays she harmed. We're the problem.
Personally the whole Cheney thing made little sense, and clearly in retrospect we now know it didn't do much, but I'm kinda done looking back and I'm in on the whole, let's fight against current fascism and build some enduring coalitions among each other
Hillary and Kamala were so right, they lost to a demented rapist. I suppose third time's the charm, let's get more racist and this time we can beat trump!
They could even mend relations with the left by bringing in Cenk Uygur as campaign manager, and arguing that the Trump administration is too effeminate and Jewish. /s
The descent into fascism is not a single step, we have been moving that direction for decades as the Democrats kept goose stepping to the Right. Finally, under Biden Harris we were being asked to ignore our role in Genocide. When genocide becomes acceptable the descent into fascism is inevitable.
But Harris was the wrong candidate. The Democrats would never run her again. You have to understand the country you hope to lead. There are millions of greedy, racist, sexist, xenophobic Americans out there. They are not going to change.
Plenty of people aren't happy. Doesn't sound like AOC isn't happy about it! And I don't know about you but if I'm not happy about something, I say "I'm not happy about it "!
That’s not the whole story. Democrats don’t always agree 100% on everything with other Democrats. That doesn’t mean they abandon each other. Though not explicitly, your comment implies AOC and Fetterman did not support the Harris candidacy, and that’s not true.
I think it's the difference between living in the moment & looking ahead to the future. Living in the moment might help your stress level, but it screws you when the future hits you in the face.
Criticizing Liz Cheney was the right thing to do. The people running Kamala's campaign practically sabotaged her by having her lean further right during her campaign.
Even Tim Walz admitted he and Kamala should have been attacking from the left.
AOC betrayed her base and lied for Kamala about "working tirelessly" for a ceasefire. In the last year, she gave up so much of her credibility with the left to support Biden and Harris.
Kamala Harris was right about a lot of things. But, so wrong about the most important one…”when we fight, we win”…said hundreds of time every rally. She conceded less than 24 hours and went silent. No audit/recount of a corrupted election. She. Failed. To. Fight. It was an egregious lie!
Who is this fucking tool???? A liar and apparently doesn't know shit about politics. Most of the people who criticized Kamala's campaign was that SHE WASN'T DOING ENOUGH TO WIN, and WE WERE RIGHT. NOT YOU. FUCK OFF.
In that vein, can we go back to 2016 when Bernie Sanders and his band of Bros couldn't say one positive thing about Clinton and chose the Trump SCOTUS instead?
No ownership for this shit show from the man who just couldn't support The Woman because Trump was more acceptable? Yeah. Not surprised. the truth hurts.
Kamala was right?
Oh my bad, you mean right wing. Of course she is. With her saying she’d continue the genocide in Gaza and campaigning with the Cheney’s.
Her "atrocious" time as DA where she created programs to help non violent 1st time offenders get jobs as an alternative to jail so they wouldn't end up stuck in the prison system??? 🙄
Ok, but campaigning with Liz Cheney did not help her, either. What was she trying to gain by chasing after and brandishing Republican endorsements and votes?
Anyone who claims that Kamala Harris “tacked right” just because she and Liz Cheney both acknowledged what an existential threat Trump is to democracy is a moron. Do they think Stalin and Churchill worked together against the Nazis because they shared the same political views or something?
Many people would argue that Stalin and Churchill each did some pretty bad things in their own right. That’s besides the point though. Harris and Cheney both made it clear that their politics are radically different. “The enemy of my enemy” is not some recent phenomenon.
yes nazis would argue that stalin and chruchil are as bad as hitler
the enemy of your enemy was a republican who voted with trump 93 percent of the time
I never said they were as bad as Hitler, much like how Cheney. I said that they worked together in spite of their obvious political differences. I was saying that Harris having Liz Cheney at a few events does not mean she is a neocon.
I wonder if campaigning with Liz Chaney, an emblem of how we got here, did damage to those threats? “No! The threat isn’t (all the clear threats) but rather it’s this extremely narrow scope that lets everyone but Trump off the hook!” didn’t work. Maybe Kamala Harris should apologize for trying that.
“Their fever will break,” it didn’t, and they trotted out the same pablum horseshit while dragging out Dick Chaney’s daughter demanding I look at Captain Satan and say he’s not as bad as Trump.
Welcome to the world of bots and bros as soon as you post anything like this about Harris or H. Clinton - it's crazy - I'll be muting this soon as they swarm to blame the women instead of all the many men who led us to where we are today.
In retrospect campaigning along side Liz Cheney probably didn’t help her. But anyone who dismissed or downplayed the threat of trump fascism and ending democracy definitely looks foolish now.
Fetterman is not who he claimed to be when he campaigned. I think he is in bed with the Republicans. There was no good reason for him to go to mar a lardo.
If the government had shut down we wouldn’t be able to have congressional hearings about Signalgate and judges wouldn’t be able to smack down rulings against 🍊 💩
I think you’re missing the point. It didn’t matter that Harris was right, the message about the threat to democracy was not effective at changing minds. People voted for agent orange even though he said he would be a dictator on day 1. So how much highlighting d u think would have made a difference?
It would also be nice for the centrist in the party to acknowledge that the Progressive Party on the left need to have a more dominant place in the party! The younger generation supports this! Boomer acknowledging this here
To be clear, she did criticize her for hanging out with Liz Cheney (though conceded it was a consequence of coalition building) but the other stuff about attacks on Democracy is a full on lie.
Comments
AOC is our only hope right now. Heck all the former Presidents dont have the courage she has right now.
She tried to "out fascist" Trump?
The Democrats may be useless, but this shit is gross
A Nazi is a Nazi and Harris ain't it
So seriously go fuck yourself
Go fuck yourself 20 times in a row and die of dehydration
I thought people would see the value of that, but instead everyone was pissed off by it
So I guess it was a bad decision, but to me it was a nod to consequences for Trump
And while you're at it, discuss things politicians say to get elected for 1k, Alex.

there is polling to indicate an embargo would have helped her, yes: https://truthout.org/articles/poll-endorsing-israel-arms-embargo-would-boost-harriss-support-to-49-percent/
Totally 100% with you here.
I appreciate the poll data and wish whoever runs opposite the GOP and Trump Volk heeds it.
which directly implies they were *also* failing the last few years,
because that's how time works,
but keep stumping for them, I guess.
As long as it means you don't have to self-examine.
Kamala was right.
Morons can say FU to her all they want, but Liz Cheney put her political career on the line to try and stop this from happening.
We lost because Bernie Babies, Gaza Groupies and Green Weenies didn’t have a unicorn to vote for. Just like Magats, they are unable to learn.
Dunning-Kruger-ass cultist.
"trump is an existential threat to our country, vote for Harris" is the same exact thing as voting for Cheney and all her policies. Because somebody told them so and they never bothered to think about it.
America has to come to terms with the fact that y'all apparently have an asshole to NON-asshole ratio problem in the population.
I agree that it was a terrible period for incumbents facing election globally, and the data show that Harris outperformed on that basis. (& she did far better than Biden would have)
How'd that go, cause from over here, it sure looked like she was siding with fascists who should be in prison
the Cheney's are a classic example
glad to help out
Her party did not care.

Cool story.
No. People who seek positions of power are never right about everything and we need to question all of them.

Didn’t pull the Stefanik nom til after losing a state legislature
unless you're saying it in the sense of "millions of americans flew in a rocketship OR drove a car today"
Then she’d be in office.
She was wrong.
She was wrong to run with republicans. She was wrong to write love poems to her Glock. She was wrong to stick with the genocide. She was wrong to carry Biden’s losing policies.
She. Was. Stupidly. Wrong.
So no, she would not be in office no matter how right she was
Instead she said, “I prefer the ridiculously unpopular and failed policies of Joe Biden”
If it were AOC she probably woulda won
Fuck you
Even Tim Walz admitted he and Kamala should have been attacking from the left.
Fetterman however is just a phony suck up who does what’s best for himself.
I have not been a Bernie or AOC fan until now. They ARE representing us when others are not.
Very saddened by Kamala’s complacency though!
Oh my bad, you mean right wing. Of course she is. With her saying she’d continue the genocide in Gaza and campaigning with the Cheney’s.

Every one of you motherfuckers that supports Israel is just like Fetterman.
the enemy of your enemy was a republican who voted with trump 93 percent of the time

And she's not doing anything to lead or help now either.
Focus on resisting the COUP not punching left...
