    Nothing wrong here.

    But… Make her run a primary. Let her run as a regular candidate unchained from Biden and his ancient policy goals.

    When it looked like she was losing, she just rolled over without any fight. The others side would have fought long and hard. Not her. Just said “Oh, well. That’s it then”. Then she disappeared. Done with her.

    We do not have a left wing and right wing in the US. We have a center-right party, the Democrats; and we have the republicans. Any actual left wing ideas are crushed by the billionaires that own the country

      Worse, they are crushed by the low income voters who would benefit most from their implementation.

      This is so true in so many countries. Look at the UK, I wouldn’t call today’s Labour party centre left by many measures anymore.

    I think a lot of people here are not taking into account the massive amounts of voter disenfranchisement that allowed Trump to win. In one Texas city 100k black voters were struck off the rolls, which would’ve carried Texas for Harris. In total there were almost 4,5 million legitimate voters who were struck from the rolls or whose votes were simply tossed out, mainly in swing states and almost exclusively for people of color. Harris lost by 3 million votes. 80% of those 4,5M votes would have gone to her and the dems.

    Exit polls were pointing towards a Dem victory and they might have even carried both houses if not for the massive voter disenfranchisement. This is the election that was blatantly stolen and it really surprises me so few people in the US even know about it, let alone are outraged by it.

    People are mad enough they’ll vote for anyone that isn’t Trump or a Trump accessory. DNC will take that as vindication that the Harris approach was correct, and will double/triple-down on it for years. Then find some subgroup of lefties to blame when they lose again in another 2-4 years.

    It’s the cirrrrrrcle of…stupidity.

      Thats literally what everyone thought about hillary and about kamala the first time. I wouldnt bet on people’s dislike of trump who at least managed to win twice (somehow) to vote in kamala who has literally neve come close to winning.

      Bold of you to assume there will be primaries, since those haven’t been conducted in good faith since 2008.

        Yeah. Last year the person who won appeared in one debate, lost, and refused to debate again. I don’t really understand what the election is after that mess.

      I’ve worried about too many things that have happened recently that I was previously told not to worry about.

    Another political campaign of Zionist sympathies no matter what anyone says or whether or not it will cost them the election?

    This made me mutter “fuck” upon reading the headline. Fuck you DNC! Give the people what they want and stop cramming your shitty candidates down our collective throats!
