The fact that they've been memeing about Trump having a third term tells you how excited they are about their actual prospects.

Just like the musk/trump split was visible miles away, any figure running for president after trump will inevetably be shit on by trump and his media aparatus because of his narcissitic insecurities.

The best thing that could happen for republicans right now is trump dying because its only going to get more costly to not lick those dress shoes.

They haven't dared. If they manage to convince Trump to follow the Constitution for a change, whoever his successor is will have to have his blessing.

Its very hard to discern the real reason Harris lost in the election. Especially with interference the Right orchestrated with mail in voting and voting IDs, they tanked the left's momentum while gassing Trump's reelection with actual fraud. The results of numerous investigations was that if someone committed fraud or voted twice it was for a Republican candidate... but don't worry isn't not like Trump controlled the swing districts and threw away votes for Harris.

neo libs must choose… either there is not enough progressives to demand a progressive candidate so they are not a large enough block to have changed the outcome OR they are large enough bloc to demand progressive cannidate and the democrats ignoring them cost them the election.

and they always pivot talking points

"No new wars" was a trump slogan, leftists aren't the only ones against the genocide, pretty much everyone who doesn't have ties with israel was pissed with US involvement.

America doesn't have a left wing. America has a right wing and an extreme right wing. The closest to an actual leftist that America has is Mamdani, and America's so-called left wing politicians tried their best to make him look evil.

I voted for Kamala, but I was pissed we didn't have a fucking primary. If we had a primary, we might have gotten Bernie on the ballot, or Elizabeth Warren, or Butegig, or anyone else. But instead Biden claimed to be running, then dropped out at the last minute so opps no time for primaries. I'm salty as hell that democrats didn't get a choice. It felt deliberate and coordinated.

Some factors for losing:

• People were already salty that Biden even decided to run again, and then he forced a different candidate upon the voters.
• Status quo
• Woman
• Not white
• Zionism apologist
• Obviously dumb strategy to ditch the “weird” name calling, and placate the right.
• I not sure what to call it, but there is definitely an issue in our country of picking the “popular kid”, or “cool kid”

Her loss was a combination of many factors, including the support of genocidal Zionism. Do not ignore it.

The Gaza issue seems to have been pretty big

Also I don't think voters appreciated having her shoved in at the last minute.

Kamala lost because it was obvious from the beginning that she was a bad candidate whose only hope of becoming President was to be parachuted into the role via the 25th Amendment once Biden's mental state truly deteriorated. Unfortunately for her and the DNC, Biden's condition declined right as a key presidential debate rolled around, and his declining cognitive health became so utterly apparent that not even Reddit's tyrannical cabal of power mods could cover it up anymore.

Before that debate, even merely suggesting that Biden was senile would have gotten you labelled a Nazi and banned from at least a dozen subreddits.

THAT is why she lost to a convicted felon.

she was a candidate for 100 days leading up to the election, against a former president that had been campaigning non stop for 6 8 years at the point she joined the race. She was fucked over and thrown under a bus.

She lost because the average voter votes for whatever name they've heard before.

Is that Gavage Nuisance in the bottom picture?

As we've seen, repeatedly.

Trump can be long dead and buried, yet I feel like he's still going to be running in every US election for the next few decades. The majority of his supporters have only doubled down on his brand of politics, so there will always be another Trump.

That fat, orange, cheeseburger-powered fuck will die before he could run for a third term

whether you agree with them or not, shaming and ridiculing them is not going to make them agree with you.

As long as the neo-liberal leaders of the Democrats continue to play the same games with the left as they have been since before I can vote, yes, we'll have to run into this argument every single damn time elections come up. When they decide to embrace progressive policies instead of just jigging the bait for the leftists to get their votes. When the Dems win, they didn't need the left. When they lose, it's all the left's fault. I'm not playing that sadistic little game anymore.

The older I get the more relevant this scene from 'Life Of Brian' becomes.

And yet still in 2028 we're going to have people arguing between the milquetoast Democrat and a republican who wants to make camps for undesirables and telling anyone left of center to stay home.

The dumber the dog, the more repetitions it takes to teach it.

The problem is that the DNC neo-liberal establishment has been playing games with the left for a long time now. They have blamed them for defeats, neglected them for victories, and say "Vote Blue No Matter Who" even while they're literally considering a guy not much better than the incumbent fascists. I for one am sick of it and they have shown to be not much better than the opposition in terms of policies, candidates, and ideology.

I had tankies tell me that by voting Kamala I sold out Palestine to "save myself"

Even though Trump was worse on Palestine...
