Good god! NO! Have they learned nothing from 2016???

There’s a woman running for president, that seems to be the democrats only option (only because nobody is giving Bernie Sanders the time of day…for some reason…), and an entire nation, both on the left AND on the right, who are saying “Ew, no, we don’t want her…”. Opposing her is trump, which one side of the election actively DO want to be president. So they’ll have no troube with their voting decision.

And then there’s the undecided voter. They don’t like either option, but they see that even the left isn’t happy with their choice, but the right IS happy with their choice…so from that logic, it sounds like they should vote republican, because they don’t like either option, but at least SOME people DO like this option. And that’s how trump becomes president.

The only question is, did I just describe 2016, or 2024?

It’s such a low bar for the DNC to just put forth a viable candidate, and all they’ve come up with is a controversial president’s wife who doesnt know when to shut up and not tank her own (and others) campaign, a genocidal geriatric strike-breaker, and now, after nearly two decades of blatant, recorded police abuse and widespread protests against police… President “female bad-cop”.

Just like they had doubt about Hillary. Show me one woman presidential nominee that polls over 50% in the US.

I find it interesting how many self identified leftists are cheering and welcoming a racist and corrupt cop as president of the United States.

Like, this isn’t even about the whole “anyone but trump” or “vote 3rd party” war.

The crowd claiming to be the left are just straight up cheering for cops.

Fascinating how I see the left continually blamed for not meeting Dems in the middle with that 1930s Germany copypasta and yet it’s only one of them constantly shifting right.

Since apparently a rabid mob comes up every time someone touches this topic, yes I understand what’s at stake and will be voting accordingly.

I’m sure all these self proclaimed leftists will be there to advocate for the local socialist parties after we secure the presidency right? …right?

You realize you are part of the rabid mob too then? Instead of listening to people with which you mostly politically agree, you immediately resort to shitting on and scapegoating them by jumping to a wild conclusion. This type of rhetoric is equally unhelpful.

Not I. ACAB. She had a history of horrible policies.

I have some reservations (need to research her more) as she was relatively progressive in an American context it seems.

If anyone has more starting points for my research, I am absolutely open.

However, for the moment she’s a “NO” from me. Even at the most forgiving judgements, it seems she sent away a whole bunch of poor people and did nothing about the system that is driving them to crime.

Ah also her weird racism, nepotism, and stances on LGBT issues. Who refers to art in their home by the ethnicity of the artist???

Another one for you. As a Californian, we knew she was bad. That’s why she dropped out polling 5th in the primary.

The Human Costs Of Kamala Harris’ War On Truancy. The “progressive prosecutor” wanted to transform how California responded to students missing school. Parents like Cheree Peoples wound up paying the price.

They’d never do that to an incumbent candidate.

Nice to know that a lot of you would vote for a slaver. Oops, sorry, forgot she is black, so that makes it okay.
