Gee, I wonder who she voted for...
There's just no way to know.
and who'll rush to pay for her defense tooooooo what a patridiot lol
Seeing lemmy for the past year, it's a fucking toss up.
Thats more like reddit. Go take a look, its full of pro israel stuff. Some are even sympathetic to Netanyahu and compelete disregarded the civillians deaths in the pager attack in Lebanon and claimed it was some sort of genius strategy that had "minimal civillian deaths".
Yes. Centrists make lemmy more like reddit.
And leftists vastly overestimate their popularity and numbers.
Most people are not very much political or interested in politics in general.
Most people do however support actual leftist and progressive policies.
If any president just looked at polling and supported the implementation of policies that more than 60 percent of Americans support, or even only the issues with 70% approval (from both dems and republicans). That policians agenda would be a progressive, leftist agenda.
I actually agree with you. However, the right wing won, full stop unfortunately.
Arguing "no true leftist" or "Your side" is pointless. The Right won and no amount of semantics or told you so is going to change the results.
So when they start mass deporting or rounding up trans people we can just say "the dems didn't run progressive enough policie for me" and wash our hands of it I guess.
Trump won every swing state. He lost my state and all of my states electoral college delegates are going to Harris. I could have voted for Mickey Mouse and this fact would not be different.
Other voters in swing states had real issues with the economy, crime, and less so the genocide in Israel.
Kamala unfortunately pivoted to the right and embraced republicans and corporate CEO’s. Why vote for republican light (Kamala) when you can just vote republican (Trump)? I assume this is what people were thinking.
I'm not sure those people exist. Lemmy seems to think they do but the electorate doesn't reflect that at all and unless they're ready to arm themselves and fight (and they're not, as much as they like to talk about it online) they may as well not exist.
Not sure what you are responding to. Your response is kind of vague. Voters are saying they voted on the economy and immigration among other issues. Trump was speaking to these issues while Kamala was not.
I'm not sure those voters exist. Lemmy thinks that they do but i don't see any evidence that they're real people.
At any rate there's little difference between not-voting and not-existing in the grand scheme so now we get to see what happens when an unashamed fascist wins and surrounds himself with yes men.
Unless those principled non-voters are ready to arm themselves and actually agitate, they might as well not exist and we can proceed accordingly.
I still don’t understand your point.
All you’re doing is continuing to shame voters who didn’t vote for your candidate, even after these voters told your candidate what their priorities were.
The only substantial thing Kamala ran on was that she wasn’t Trump. Outside of not being Trump she is a shell of a human being who has no real values and will always change her views based on the campaign contributions she receives. Voters saw through her fake personality.
Continuing to try and shame voters for not supporting your candidate isn’t going to accomplish anything, much in the same way Obama and Hillary trying to shame voters accomplished little as well.
The DNC can’t even beat a buffoon like Trump because they are so bought and paid for by corporate and dark money PACs.
Maybe try stop trying to blame voters and focus your energies in that direction.
Your party just lost by listening to centrists.
"Your" party didn't even show up, why would anyone listen to them?
Edit: hey at least a couple of you learned how to vote! Maybe try doing that irl and not just on the internet!
Progressives don't have a party that even considers representing them.
Progressives turned out to vote for the obviously less dangerous to America candidate.
Terminally online internet leftists sat at home in their basements and want feel like they're revolutionaries.
Start a revolution champ, we're all waiting.
If I had to guess it would be the party that gave more aid to Israel than ever, the Biden/Harris party Source
Wait a second. You would assume the person votes for Biden/Harris because they support Israel while trying to keep Israel under control. You don't assume the person voted for the person who said he wants Israel to "finish the job" and enacted a Muslim travel ban?
Are you really that stupid? Or are you just trying to make a political point?
Just wait until you see what Trump does for Palestine, boy are you in for a rude awakening. Congrats on sticking it to the democrats, I guess. Enjoy the next four years.
Damn why the downvotes? Its almost as if there was a concentrated Israeli effort to downvote facts about Israel? Can anyone tell me why I am ratioed so?
I've tagged you as "thinks gop supports Palestine." Hope you prove me wrong.
Probably because the point seems moot given that Trump and the Republicans intend to help Israel even more.
Lol who gives a shit about israel
Fuck Israel, Fuck Hamas
Next 4 years will have so many faces eaten by leopards.
Well, to be fair, not all Democratic voters are exactly sympathetic to Palestine... Some are kinda pro-Israel
But yea like 99% of the time its a Magat.
Nah, most of the Zionists I know voted for Harris
Edit: how is my personal experience being downvoted. Do you guys know what the Downvote button is for??
Yes but even unsympathetic Dems aren't very likely to attack someone for their choice of sweatshirt
Remember last time Trump was in power our feeds were full of Republicans behaving poorly in public? (in between the police beating protesters through most of 2020) - looks like we're going to get that back again now.
their perception of how welcome their violence is intensified, too. the movement that killed Heather Heyer considers themselves ascendent. last time they had the electoral college and not the popular vote. this time, thanks to 10mil likely democrat voters who cculd swallow their pride for joe biden in 2020 but not for kamala harris in 2024, the very worst people on earth consider their view point to be the norm
