“Look how bad their nation is. It’s not even a nation. It’s just people walking around killing each other." - The literal description of America.
How many days since the last abduction by ICE and people just disappearing?
How many days since murdering fishermen?
How many days since the last school shooting?
Oh fuck you, Omar. You spearheaded the anti Harris movement over Gaza. Now my black ass gets to watch your people be deported while I’m eating popcorn.
Zero. Sympathy. Or support here.
I understand your frustration, but the fault is not entirely hers, the real problem is that USA has a very flawed democracy, with only 2 realistic options to vote for, where better democracies have both more and better options.
The fault was also with the democrats and Biden and Harris for failing to realize they were in the wrong position morally.
I absolutely hate that “we” got Trump, but Ilhan Omar remains an ally against him, not an enemy.By “we” I mean the world, because I am not American. But Trump has done a lot of harm outside USA too.
A few things. While Omar’s attacks against the DNC were definitely a strategic blunder. Either she didn’t realize how committed the DNC was to Israel or didn’t care. She was representing her constituents and she did it for a good reasons. And I cannot fault her for that.
I mentioned repeatedly to many people how this was only going to backfire as it did. And I still take no pleasure in being right. But let’s be clear, Biden and Harris lost this all by themselves. This was epic levels of failure. Biden shouldn’t have run again, but he took far too long to announce that he was. And then it took far too long for the reality that he was no longer physically fit to sink in. And then, nominating an insular and uninspired candidate that actually drove voters away. They lost the election themselves, but the undecideds did drive quite a few to Trump hilariously.
Admonishing and infighting at this point isn’t going to help anyone. Whether or not you liked the bone-headed way the undecided campaign went about ultimately enabling Trump. The fact is we all need to work together to take government back. From people more loyal to a foreign government than the people they’re supposed to serve. But it can’t stop there. They all need to all be replaced and government hierarchy flattened. No more king president or president for that matter. No more Senate or Supreme Court, and thousands of new House members in the Congress at minimum.
I’m sure having even lower standards for the party’s candidates will surely lead to victory some day. How dare anyone actually take principled stands on anything important.
Purity tests sure are working out aren’t they?
I just don’t understand the logic behind deriding ‘purity tests’. Like, isn’t a purity test just the same thing as voting for the candidate you prefer? Isn’t that what democracy is all about? One might think that a political party would embody its namesake, but alas.
I suppose holding our candidates to standards and actually fighting for things seems strange to people who hold no ideals, and have no principals other than self empowerment. This has certainly been the nature of Democratic Party leadership for at least 40 years. I suppose I understand their motivation for adopting such a nihilistic and destructive worldview. After all, they are the ones that are being enriched by it. What I don’t understand is why constituents like you adopt it. You’re getting nothing but an ever eroding quality of life as a result. Very strange.
You’re dense if you don’t see how purity tests vs fascism is stupid.
We have descended into fascism because of 40 years of neoliberal politics. The ethos that the Clinton’s ushered in, which seemed so refreshing at the time, cultivated a party that stands for nothing, has not, and will not push back against fascism meaningfully.
Purity testing didn’t do all that. Terrible policy and terrible politics did.
You got anything substantive to contribute?
Jill Stein and abandon Harris.
Apologies. I didn’t realize you were either a fucking idiot or a nine year old child.
