@louiefrmspace@Dsilkotch@Durwood_Stevens@AaronRegunberg Being pro Palestine turns away more voters than not tbh
I do think that electotally speaking she should have picked a side though. She lost both Jewish and arab voters
@louiefrmspace@Durwood_Stevens@AaronRegunberg In fact Kamala campaigned pretty hard on people's right to have a home and get a job and support small business and expanding healthcare-like FDR- and people still criticize her for identity politics- which she never once mentioned
@louiefrmspace@Durwood_Stevens@AaronRegunberg People are still complaining about gas prices being ridiculous when they've been brought down. The economy is doing better, a lot of popular progressive policy got passed. It's been a pretty pro labor presidency. He even opposed Taft Hartley lmao. The public just doesn't know
@FireLunar_ These kinds of politics are so embarrassing.
Never vote according to fiction. One piece is also a story where they keep reviving monarchies.
Trump is bad for very apparent reasons outside of One Piece.
@AlasdairAdam Obama did run a progressive campaign as in he sought to change politics in favor of progressive policy in the same way Reagan did for conservative policy
Being anti gay marriage was a common stance and doesn't make most of his platform fairly progressive
@FreewheelinFool @sbodrojan An outcome like that means no campaign could save the election for the Dems. It's like 2008, it didn't matter how well McCain would run, no republican was winning after Bush
Housing is shit and the economy is shit and the sitting president is a D. That's all
@hahnsbratbottom@10000000bees No, Trump has reached 270 EVs. Thats not a prediction it's just true. So he's won, no matter how many more votes Kamala gets
@garwood_murray@keithdorejel That's just bs if you've been paying attention for the last 4 years. Do you think Trump would forgive student loan debt? Or cap insulin?
Kamala ran more right this year precisely because you guys refuse to a acknowledge when the Ds do the things you want.
@dismanteloped@N_J____@RadicalDemocra6@CNLiberalism I mean, Truman was also a pro labor president and he was pretty egregious in terms of breaking strikes
You can be pro labour, that doesn't mean you let unions do whatever they want. That can be damaging to the country as well
@PinkoJack92@Madame_Ennui@AlWayluLakum Not entirely sure the global south will flourish. When America pulled out of Afghanistan, things didn't get better there by any metric
Yes, America fucked the ME up. But removing America will not unfuck if.
@Madame_Ennui I think peoppe have lost perspective. In their noticing genuine issues in America, I think they've lost sight of how bad things can get when you throw it away
@ellorysmith Even if you're too small to win an election, you can siphon enough electoral votes to throw the election into the house of commons, and then you can draw out concessions for your endorsement
@ellorysmith Probably nothing if it's made with the conceit of being leftists. Democrats can't do it because Lefties refuse to acknowledge when Dems do anything good for the left, which makes them bad coalition partners. But maybe lefties would be more willing to acknowledge a leftie party
