It's really cute watching all the Neolibs pretend like their conservative policies attract the leftists they need to win elections.
Sucking up to a demographic of old white conservative men was not a winning strategy for the Democratic party.

For a second I thought I saw my name and was confused what this had to do with me :-D
I mean you guys elected that asshole..
I was also on the side of vote for Kamala fix it after because with Trump fixing is impossible with Kamala maybe. But whenever I see stuff like
45 Democrats Vote With GOP to Pass Bill Sanctioning ICC Over Netanyahu Warrant
Senate Overwhelmingly Rejects Sanders Resolutions to Block Arms Sales to Israel
it makes me doubt how feasible this approach would be too. Sure Kamala is factors of magnitude better than Trump for the USA, for Ukraine, for LGBTQ people, for women etc. But I can understand a US citizen with roots in the middle east etc not voting for Democrats after seeing disgusting stuff like this.
"PATRIOT Act" passed Senate 98 to 1. Partisanship is for complete morons.
BlueMAGA is literally Russian propaganda. Anyone who uses the term unironically is a troll.
Liz Cheney
Didn't realize Liz Cheney called herself a democrat
Watch your tone Liz Cheney is a national hero for Democrats https://www.reuters.com/world/us/biden-award-liz-cheney-others-with-presidential-citizens-medal-2025-01-02/
Neither blue or MAGA tbh
Do tell how she ended up on a stage next to Kamala if she was not Blue.
The MAGA part is the denialism from Democrats about it.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Liz Chaney is a staunch opponent of Donald Trump, she is a career politician, and the last of the Grand-Old-Party. In a desperate attempt to stop MAGA from replacing the GOP Liz Chaney aligned herself with Kamila Harris and that's why. I'd argue that makes her a Red Democrat more than a Blue Republican but really that's down to interpretation. I don't think anyone was in denial about why she was being paraded around like neat novelty. These are strange times my dudes.
Privatized gains, socialized losses except instead of losing money, your daughters die of a miscarriage in the waiting rooms of hospitals
Missed the point again award. If people want to vote for conservatives, they're going to vote for conservatives, not conservatives lite. If people want to vote for leftists, they're going to vote third party, vote for the dipshit threatening to tear it all down, or stay home, not vote for conservatives lite. If you'd take a few seconds to really use your noggin, you'd understand that people are fucking drowning and desperate for a change. Not "lol the guys at the Goldman Sachs fundraiser said we should think about a 1% COLA for social security", I'm talking burn the house down and start over change. There's a reason why there's the phenomenon of the Obama-Bernie-Trump voter or Bernie-Trump voter. It's not the sexism, it's the promise of change. Obama failed to deliver, and Bernie didn't happen, which just leaves us with that fucking guy. The democrats miscalculated twice and thought that voters surely wouldn't vote for that fucking guy over their promise of change so mild that even fox news would get bored. It's not the voter's fault that the democrats failed to put forward a good platform. To the Democratic party and the people towing this line, I say: voters don't owe you victory. In fact, voters don't owe you a goddamn thing. Stop blaming them and get your shit together or get out of the way.
Yes to all of this. Neolibs in this thread are really pressed.
Probably still would've been less bad if people voted for the lesser of two evils though
I don’t even want the democrats to get their shit together. I want them to get the fuck out of the way. That party needs to go the way of the fucking whigs.
