<sigh> A condition of Biden dropping out and Kamala taking the reins was that she was not allowed to publicly differ from the Biden administration on policy.

You probably also don’t know that Kamala was the only one who could legally step in once Biden dropped out.

But sure, blame her for the handcuffs that were placed on her. Fuck that bitch.

If the universe is infinite, then the pattern of molecules that make up your memories and thought processes will eventually be repeated.

Yeah I think you’re right.

But still, they are sending money out and it will never be recovered.

<Sigh>

Secretary of State is a position where you are supposed to represent the agenda of the president. Knowing former secretaries of state and being able to get information from them is an important part of having that job… if you’re a serious person, it is a serious fucking job.

It’s so bizarre to me that people don’t realize what it means to work in these cabinet positions. Or at least what it used to mean. This cabinet is not focused on competence at all, but rather on social media, self aggrandizement and gossiping about and undercutting each other.

You realize the majority of left-leaning people who didn’t vote for Kamala/Hillary didn’t turn around and vote for Trump in turn right?

Not voting for Kamala/Hilary WAS a vote for Trump.

His face isn’t everywhere because the Epstein class needs the population to stay distracted while they extract more wealth from the average person.

We’ve been fighting a stealth class war for fifty years now. The oligarchs have been cooking this pot of frogs successfully for quite some time.

Mature people who understand the political system in the US understand that primaries are where you vote your values, general elections are where you vote for least harm/best outcome of severely limited choices.

If you’re not voting in local elections and primaries and pushing your values hard, you are failing at democracy.

We weren’t given a choice in the matter when Harris was running. I wanted a primary but didn’t get it.

We had a primary and Biden/Harris won.

If you’re complaining that you didn’t get a second primary when Biden dropped out, then maybe it would interest you that legally no one but Harris could have taken the significant war chest that the Biden/Harris campaign had on hand. Furthermore, as a term of the deal for Biden to drop out, Harris was not allowed to deviate from ANY of Biden’s positions. This is why she had so much trouble with questions about the genocide. She was not allowed to answer the way she wanted to.

“The DNC” is people voting.

I think voters wanted somebody to the left of Obama, and Hillary felt like a big step back to the '90s.

Here’s a fact that makes my leftist friends mad at me(since 2008) … Hilary IS and was left of Obama. People saw what they wanted to see in Obama because he is so charismatic. A lot of people hated Hilary because of the constant dragging of Hilary in the media for over 20 years.

I fell for the anti Hilary propaganda. And it wasn’t until she was a serious contender that I started looking deeply into her record. She’s actually pretty amazing. If I ever meet her I will definitely apologize for falling for the bullshit.

Hillary and Kamala were bad candidates

Compared to Trump?

No, we not only have a misogyny problem, we have a serious propaganda problem. Check out “the necessary conversation” on youtube and witness the power of propaganda and how it harms regular people and convinces them that fascists are not fascists.

C’mon. Bernie was not a clear winner. I love Bernie, but he fucked himself by being an asshole to the people he wanted help from.

I think this is a much bigger problem than people want to admit.

The DNC could have simply said, “We have decided not to publish the results so we don’t give the Republicans ammunition” or something similar, instead Ken Martin decided to communicate like a condescending douche. I can’t imagine Ben Wickler acting like this.

It’s almost as if the plan is to piss off progressives to the point where the old guard is primaried.

Democracy is messy

It helps to try to understand what happened and communicate a complete picture rather than harp on a single decontextualized fact.

She’s not even radical. She’s advocating to stop backsliding away from and instead embrace the principles of the New Deal. The signature policy of the most popular president in American history. A policy(set of policies actually) that ushered in a half a century of economic stability and steady growth, which grew the middle class.

The US lifted more people out of poverty than any other nation. Now China holds the record of raising more people out of poverty faster than any nation ever.

If they strike it down, it will be years after the money is already gone.

And fucking Oz is releasing videos from his shitty old TV show on YouTube daily and getting a ton of views.

I hope he gets face cancer.

She wrote that 2038 is only 12 years away, and that “YOU and your classmates will be responsible for paying down the national debt.”

Nevermind that Trump and the rest of the congressional Republicans increased the national debt by 3 trillion dollars already, fuck you kid for wanting something good for everyone instead of only wanting good stuff for the Epstein class.

It could very well be that that “State” money is money collected from NYC residents.
