Criticizing a candidate doesn't mean you voted for the other major candidate. It just means that the challenger to the other major candidate sucks. The DNC needs to run better candidates to actually convince people to show up and vote for them.

    No argument, no talking points, no facts, no sources, just a biased opinion in a salty comment.

    A lot was implied in that comment. Implying that she is corrupt. That wasn’t criticism. That was badmouthing.

    And that specific style of badmouthing usually insinuates justifying a non-vote, which in this case, meant a vote for the the other guy.

    She wasn’t absolutely perfect, and she wasn’t the absolute exact perfect fit for everyone. And yes, her campaign could have been run better. Nobody’s perfect. No one can please everyone. But hey, at least she didn’t wear a tan suit!

    Active support of genocide is not "not absolutely perfect", unless you don't believe foreigners are actually human, which does seem to be the case for American liberals.

    I’m Canadian.

    And I personally wouldn’t give a fuck about American politics—hadn’t it been for the actual regime amusingly destroy the entire planet, using Palestine as target practice and a real estate opportunity.

    Oh, and threatening to invade my country.

    Yours is the same, but somehow less useful.

    You say she had a spec of dust, yet if you look at her primary election performance, you'll find she's just a bad candidate. She did so poorly that she withdrew early. If the DNC held a primary election in 2024, she probably wouldn't have won. The only reason she had a semblance of a chance in 2024 was because Trump was so bad.

    If your best argument in favor of a candidate is their opponent is worse, that tells me everything I need to know about why they lost. Yes, Trump was worse than Harris, but being less bad doesn't motivate people to get to the polls.
