Listen buddy, I'm an American and am actually aware of how our political system works and, quite frankly, don't give a fuck that Dems are soft on Israel because the republicans are worse and that's known to anyone who isn't a fucking moron. You wanna get Israel out of American politics? You vote dem and primary with progressives running on election reform and getting money out of politics but all y'all are too fucking principled and stupid to do the literally only viable in the US option. So yes, it's all y'alls fault. Everyone who hasn't voted straight blue and in the primaries since 2016 voted for explicitly this and deserves ice in their neighborhood.

    I do, not going to change me criticizing politicians for being pro genocide.

    So yes, it's all y'alls fault. Everyone who hasn't voted straight blue and in the primaries since 2016 voted for explicitly this and deserves ice in their neighborhood.

    You don't give a shit about why the Democratic Party has gone down in popularity, why it's approval is at an all time low. I do. I give a shit about what needs to change in order for them to be a genuine opposition party. One that actually runs on improving the material conditions of all Americans.

    Harris lost because her campaign sucked, because of the proximity of her positions to those of Republican positions.

    Mamdani won because he ran on exactly what the entire Democratic party needs to run on in order to regain popular support, sway independents, and fracture the Republican base.

    Everyone who hasn't voted straight blue and in the primaries since 2016 voted for explicitly this and deserves ice in their neighborhood.

    No one deserves the Gestapo, fuck your cruelty.

    Harris' platform never changed, just the messaging, which was apparently enough for the low info left that always suspiciously seem to criticize Democrats but never republicans.

    I routinely criticize Republicans, and Democrats who love their policies. You can an analysis of Harris' failed messaging below

    You criticize Israel, Democrats, BoTH siDEs, ICE, and then a ways further down that list occasionally you criticize republicans. Nobody that criticizes Democrats more than republicans and then equivocates the two on issues like Gaza or due process in deportations is worth taking seriously.

    I criticize Democrats because they're the only ones that even have the possibility to better their policies to reflect their constituents.

    My comment history speaks for itself. I've got plenty of comments that go into detail about all of this, since before the election.

    Nobody who demands fealty and blind loyalty instead of genuine representation is worth taking seriously.
