Can you please not?

Can't wait to see all the centrists who are like "we can't run AOC! A woman can't win and we're totally not just making excuses to shut out a progressive" suddenly decide that a woman can win as long as she supports genocide hard enough.
Can't wait for the usual pleas at protests in 2 years: "Please bro, just vote blue one more time, it'll work this time bro, Lenin would vote democrat! We gotta vote against fascism! Republicans would be worse bro! Please! Don't be an ultra-leftist!"
She's just trying to get attention for her book. Even she's not dumb enough to think she could run for president again.
The book usually signifies/supports the presidential run. It's how they do. It's the formula.
The DNC got wind that AOC might run. They were like “fuck that we need to get ready to shut that shit down.” So Harris must have been nudged to make a statement.
Remember: the democratic establishment wants someone slightly more electable than Hilary and equally unlikely to make any meaningful progressive changes.
While the republicans want to actively wreck society, the democrats want to just go back to the un-newsworthy background grift where the news can get back to reporting on cloned sheep and panda swaps.
This is just as shocking as if Hillary Clinton said she'd run again. Whatever DNC wants, they get. As long as it's not a candidate that could threaten the ratchet effect, meaning banning anyone left of the center which is ever moving right. So no AOC, no Bernie and no Mamdani.
This would be the most hilarious thing ever.
Geneva_Convenience is part of an Establishment Democrat smear campaign against the first real progressive my state has seen. I was banned for “trolling” in my attempts to highlight and correct his deliberate disinformation. Take everything you read by this user with a heavy grain of salt, and in relation to Graham Platner in particular, DM me at JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca for a link to Grahams entire reddit archive, not just this tankie’s cherry picked items chosen deliberately to cast Graham in a bad light.
That's what primaries are for.. so VOTE.
Sit the fuck down Kamala. You and Joe already had your chance.
You fucked things up big time with your incompetent campaign Kamala. You don't have a clue how to run against Traitorapist Trump and you totally lied when you said you would "prosecute the case against him". Stay the hell away now.
She did drop the ball, but I'm also fairly certain she actually won but Elon did some backdoor fuckery to rig the election. She should've won by a huge enough margin that they couldn't rig it. She also needs to disappear now and let someone with some fire run. I would be supportive of AOC running, but we all have seen that this country isn't ready for a woman leader unfortunately.
Ugh don't start with the conspiracies man. That's for the right wing nut jobs. Democrats lost because they keep putting out trash establishment AIPAC candidates against the fascist regime.
I'd rather see the dog shit I scraped off my shoe earlier today run than Kamala.
Someone killed a white family... In the year 1983... Multiple witnesses saw the crime that night. They all agreed: the killer was white.
The police had a different idea in mind. They found a black man to malign. They framed and sentenced him to death. His appeal? Rejected by Harris
Please god no. Not her. (Almost) anyone but her.
Respectfully ms Harris.... You know that whole "suck it up and do what needs to be done to get rid of the fascists"? That applies to you too.
Oh no... She's the reason we are stuck with Old Orange Julius Caesar right now.
Anyone who's in denial of this should look up her 2020 presidential campaign. It wasn't the 107 days she had to campaign in 2024. You can't just answer every question by saying you're from a middle class family.
Yup, I remember that! I got a lot of crap for getting angry with Biden and the media before the 2024 election, since he was the candidate that was NotTrump™, but now I see more and more people realizing what happened. Better late than never, I guess.
Hopefully the Democrats will learn from this.
yeah, it totally wasn't the 30% of Americans that refused or failed to vote at all.
And why do you think that is?
Kamala Harris, or any other candidate, isn't just owed votes. She failed to convince those people she was a good choice. That's on her, whether or not you want to admit it.
nobody believes that bullshit anymore.
If that's true, then we will be under MAGA rule for the foreseeable future. And I don't know about you, but I don't want that.
nor do I, so I vote for anyone not MAGA. like I did in November.
Great, but most people aren't going to show up to the polls if they're not convinced that either candidate is any good.
The purpose of a presidential campaign is to convince the people that this candidate is a good choice. The Harris campaign failed to do that for the majority of Americans. If the left keeps gaslighting themselves into thinking she ran this flawless campaign, like you are, they are unlikely to win in the future.
Losing seems like a pretty big flaw to me, especially considering how many people didn't even show up.
She is complicit in fascism.
The DNC is not a viable party any longer.
I'm all ears on your viable alternatives to the single party democracy that we're apparently part of now.
Ranked choice voting and for progressives to start a leftist party.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_political_parties_in_the_United_States
I count 24 active leftist parties.
Several states have ranked choice voting at the state and federal elections level, but forcing the rest of the states to adopt it would likely require a constitutional amendment.
This is currently the best effort towards fixing the electoral college mess: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Popular_Vote_Interstate_Compact
But none of this works if we never have another election.
So, 24 leftist parties and 50 state ranked choice is never going to happen. Now what? Should we make a 25th party?
Cool, which of them have a name like Bernie Sanders?
Nobody's knows shit about those tiny parties. Americans follow idols and figureheads. Sadly, name recognition goes way further than it should.
She had her chance, and she chose to sellout to the old guard of the DNC and monied interests. Publishing her book where she confirms that she capitulated doesn't make her seem any more interesting, it makes it clear that she's another bullshit liberal politician who doesn't really believe in anything, but is willing to say whatever businesses tell her will get her elected.
Spoken like she's not a fucking hired cog. We're in this shit because of her party, her, and old genociden Biden. I would hope Trump would go after her like he's been going after all of his enemies, but I think he probably won't because they are all playing the same fucking game.
So glad she didn't get elected! So much peace in Gaza since daddy trump took over! He was so much better than the alternative.
JFC you people are fucking unhinged. Can't vote for someone unless they tick every box right? Especially to the detriment of the innocent lives lost in Palestine. You personally have their blood on your hands.
as this country burns to a char and Trump's fucks put you genocidal neocap blue maga in his cross hairs, i and many other actual leftists will gleefully step aside and let him finish the shit you cunts started. now crawl your brown baby killing ass back to whats left of npr and reddit and cry about it while the rest of us do actual front-line work. fuck you.
She supported bombing innocent people. She let people rot in prison, for things that she laghed off. She openly lied to everyone when lives were on the line. She supported Genocide.
...unless they tick every box right...
I'm not sure you understand what that phrase means. Try putting up someone who isn't a monster next time.
Love how you mention the two things a specifically talk shit about. But do go on and tell me more about myself.
And make no mistake, there will be no stepping aside for you. Your lazy protest non voting ass will be right next to me, if not preceded by.
Big lol on that pathetic attempt at a "I know what you are but what am I?"elementary school comeback. That actually gave me a genuine chuckle.
eat glass shards you nazi cuck
edit: (and keep making your 100 additional sock puppet accounts for vote manipulation. you're not fooling anyone. we see your modlog. god you redditor bots really suck the life out of the internet, on whole.)
Seriously provide proof of this vote manipulation bullshit you're making up, cause you just admitted to abusing your mod privileges to get some kinda gotcha in this bullshit non argument.
Lol you tankies are just like the trumptards with your parroting of the same shit over and over ad naseum. Tell us all about these "bluemaga" nazis that you're convinced I am. Fucking braindead dolts the lot of y'all.
lol ok genocide supporting cunt. keep creating all your sock puppet accounts. pretty sure mods over at lemmy.today would love to boot your nazi ass based on your modlog history.
Whatever, I'm embarrassed to have stuck up for you a few weeks ago. You are a bad person and you should feel bad. Tell me how your support for trump makes anything other than a Nazi.
And stalking my profile? Lol, I know I have the moral high ground now cause I didn't resort to such childish and toxic behavior. Eat a whole bag of dicks tankie.
i'm embarrassed 100,000 kids are dead because of people like you
You need to take a little longer than a short peek in a mirror. Cause ya boi trump is the one in fucking charge right now you fucking braincel inbred.
Also are seriously accusing me of vote manipulation? Cause that's fucking rich coming from a mod that just openly admitted to abusing their privileges. So you may wanna provide some kinda proof or stfu.
lmfao a mod? god you're dumb.
So where's this proof of vote manipulation? Cause so far you've shown dick all.
Oh, lord, save us. If she runs for the president, Trump might actually become a king.
do it. but I hope the DNC learned its lesson that you can't play the same shitty games like they have been since 2016.
