    This was so obviously gonna happen with Trump back in office. But at least we saved the Palestinians by not voting for Kamala, right?

      Maybe Kamala shouldn’t have tried to take over the conservatives, and instead focussed on politics that matter. But I guess that worked out really good for her and the country!

        Well the important thing is that you found a way to blame her instead of the actual people doing the actual things.

          I am not blaming her for what is happening right now, I am blaming her for leaning too far right, and not being able to win with that.

        Boy am I glad that some voters left their brains at home because their little feelings got hurt by Kamala. Makes me feel real good about that outcome knowing that they showed Kamala who’s boss! /s 🤮

          I think politics need to be interesting for people to vote. If the expected outcome is that everything only worsens a bit, you’ll never get people to vote for you. So by leaning right, she basically tried to appease the conservatives, but made progressives lose interest. I don’t think that anyone (or a substancial number) on the left tried to “own” her.

          Hopefully there will be next elections, and hopefully there will be a party worthy of voting for it.

          (Also disclaimer, I am not american, and am just objectively stating the obvious)

      Can you stop with this? How is this helping? We need a broad coalition to fight this walking tumor.

      Whatever you do don’t blame the people who threw the campaign and rolled out the red carpet for where you are now. Maybe they’ll get back into power and make sure the people involved face no justice at all, so they can do it again

      Democrats lost 6 millions voters in 2024 compared to 2020.

      Republicans gained 3 million voters in 2024 compared to 2020.

      Third parties stayed the same between 2024 and 2020 at 3 million total voters.

      9 million people chose to abstain from voting in 2024 compared to 2020.

      Even if you add up the some ~1 million uncommitted voters that voted Green or PSL in 2024, this pails in comparison to the amount of people that either switched parties or didn’t vote at all.

      Democrats did this to themselves. Kamala ran towards the Republicans instead of rallying to the Democrats’ traditional strengths as well as making a coalition with progressives and leftists.

      The more you blame Palestinian voters instead of Democratic party leadership, the more you wish for the destruction of all minority rights in this country.
