@hutchinson So unless your point is that Kamala ran a terrible campaign where she deliberately tied herself to a toxic brand and sank her own chances, idk what you’re trying to get at. Literally just handed them this talking point.
@hutchinson She deliberately didn’t distance herself at all from Biden’s toxic presidency (which you guys defended tooth and nail btw) and actually explicitly stated she could not think of anything she would have done differently than him, other than having a Republican in her cabinet.
@shesrightshow@actingliketommy Well, we beat one corrupt, corporation serving sexual predator preferred by right wing libs over the democratic nominee, and we’re confident we can win against Trump too. Unlike y’all we don’t have a terrible record of losses to him to be ashamed of.
@mariolopezviva Can we as a society stop acting like people who take hormones that make them resemble the opposite sex are the evil degenerates and the people using AI for fetish porn of children or family members are?
Is that really so hard? The right wing Epstein zeitgeist is so real.
@mattyglesias Funny how right wing dems think right wing corporatist pelosicrats who are massively unpopular with their own base and need millions in foreign funding to win a primary are more electable because Republicans who will never vote for a democrat might vote for them in a general.
@kenklippenstein Wow this is much worse than right wingers who seek absolutely no help for their myriad psychological issues and are making them everyone else’s problem instead.
@perturbulents@magi_jay It's Hillary v Bernie all over again.
Dishonestly weaponize identity politics to smear your opponents as racist/misogynistic or whatever to get the attention off of the economic policies and reframe the conversation.
@perturbulents@magi_jay Liberals tried to cynically inflame racial tensions among black and Jewish communities against Abdul with rabid anti-Arab/Muslim rhetoric and now they’re looking at the results of their work (which didn’t even work that well with younger voters) and saying the left did it.
Imagine saying you’re willing to hand the country on a platter to fascists to “minimize toxicity and violence.”
These people don’t care how many people ICE kills as long as they’re brown, and it doesn’t disrupt brunch and their good vibes.
You see, people like this are changing the "Vote Blue No Matter Who" paradigm. I think Stevens and El-Sayed both have a chance of winning this. If it's AES, the calculus for mainstream Democrats has changed. People are willing to take a loss to minimize toxicity & violence.
@TOliveFern@_iamblakeley “Really disappointing to find out that the people who I want to pick me from all the other people like me who they hate actually hate me. Feeling very blindsided rn.”
