    I can believe this. She seemed frustrated when she spoke about the Palestine situation, and I picked up a strong subject that she wanted to say more about her objections over Israel’s actions than she did.

      Yeah, but that didnt bode well for her as a president…

      She was the candidate, crowned with zero primary weeks before the election, with zero threat of being replaced.

      But she stuck line by line to what Bidens team said

      Buden’s team that was Hillary’s team, and before that Bill’s team.

      Kamala would have been an empty suit for the same neoliberal machine and she would have appointed the DNC chair back to that faction so they could influence the primary in four years.

      If Kamala literally had to say exactly what her advisors said when she was literally irreplaceable, she would have been a president in name only.

      Don’t get me wrong, I held my nose and voted D like always, but I knew she was fucking it up, and long term that might have been for the best.

        Tim Walz came out swinging, and they instantly sidelined him.

        That alone was enough to say that the campaign was fucked.

          Quick, hide Tim Walz, he’s too popular with voters!

          -Neoliberals apparently

          I still want Ken Martin to publicly commit to ending the Victory Fund bullshit tho.

        “She was the candidate, crowned with zero primary weeks before the election, with zero threat of being replaced.”

        No primary? There was a primary. Biden/Harris won that primary election as Phillips dropped out fairly early. What do you mean by “no primary”

        Had Biden died on the campaign trail Harris would have been instantly the candidate. The situation with him stepping aside isn’t really any different. There was a primary and Biden/Harris won that primary.

          No primary? There was a primary

          And the state who literally has a law that they go first had their delegates stripped for not violating their own state law…

          That’s how the “primary” started.

          I don’t think I need to give any other examples after that.

          The situation with him stepping aside isn’t really any different.

          It’s different because DNC leaders, Bidens campaign team, his current admin, and various media organizations (owned by billionaire conservatives) colluded to hide Biden’s mental decline literally since he assumed office and all the way up to the last possible second

          The neoliberals really did a weekend at Bernie’s and no one with the power to stop it gave a fuck because he had a D by his name.

          That is how Republicans became president.

          Quick edit:

          Seriously, the same people we know lied about Biden and used an elderly mentally unwell person as their puppet were still going to be calling the same shit

          How is that any different than what Reagan was?

          I can almost accept some people don’t want them to face criminal charges, but you think giving them the country again would be better?

      Kamala was somewhat of a Zionist, but not enough to justify Israel’s bombings. Because she wants a two-state solution, and if she had been president, she would probably criticize Netanyahu for his actions damaging Israel.

      A strategy to avoid AIPAC considering you a threat.

      I don’t know if I can buy that when the DNC refused to let anyone with even a hint of background from the middle east get a platform, and when a protest at a speech happened, she said “I am speaking.” Not listening, speaking.
