    Kamala is and has always been a shit tier candidate.

    Can we finally admit that her entire campaign amounted to gaslighting people into thinking she’s remotely leftist?

    …and she’s going to try to run in 28?

    She’ll have better chances running as a republican at this point.

    Politicians need to learn to not comment.

    Kamala wasn’t involved in national politics at the same time as cheney. When cheney was last in office, Kamala was the district attorney of SF, an local office that only deals with the laws of California. No plausible working relationship between the two. They were not even interacting with the same laws. They worked in entirely different levels of government. There is no need for any statement.

    Regardless of politics, any statement like this will sound disingenuous. If she knows Lynne, Liz, Mary, and the entire family well enough to have them in her thoughts, she could tell them directly. Calling someone to wish them the best in a hard time is a commendable act. Making a public statement telling other people that you care about someone else is just weird.

    Stuff like this reminds me why they lose to fascists. When they like to say the proto-fascists are practicing politics correctly it really waters down their message and what is at stake.

    She could have left out the middle paragraph, and this still would have been a mature, reasonable response without the praise.

      Yeah. “We’re sorry for his family that he’s dead, regardless of who he was as a person, that’s gotta suck for them.” Totally fine.

      “And here this embodiment of literally everything wrong with America, directly responsible for the deaths of thousands, instrumental in weakening the norms of integrity and public interest for his own financial gain and helping in some small way to lay the foundation for our current debacle, a punchline of corruption and slaughter, infamous in the news and reviled in public life, he’s got my vote though! You see I am not willing to deal in uncomfortable truths even when the public can see them unanimously” could have been omitted.

        Hmm, yes, interesting. Shall I post what Harris said when Sinwar was killed?

      To be fair, her wording is written very politically. You could say it of pretty much any top political figure – good or bad – and have it be true

      Cheney caused a lot of death and suffering. Sometimes it was through his actions as a leader, other times his incompetence with a gun. He was dedicated though, spent much of his life in politics

    All you had to do was say nothing, Kamala.

    Why do liberals not realize that the right will NEVER vote for them no matter how much they pander, and everyone else hates them because they have no moral or ethical compass.

    Jeez, democrats seem to really like Charlie Kirk and Dick Cheney.

    I wonder why they’re having trouble with Muslim voters…

        Oh no they can just insult, scold, and abandon their voters and they will still come home. You don’t understand, Democratic politicians are entitled to the votes of minorities.

        But, but, but … no matter the politics of their candidate clicking their heels and saying the magic words “vote us to stop the other guy” has always worked as their main electoral strategy.

        Obviously with such a magical and infallible electoral strategy, this election loss can only be explained by there being something wrong with the voters themselves as that strategy makes the quality and politics of the candidate be irrelevant!

    She’s still playing that “let’s meet in the middle” charade that didn’t do shit for her during her campaign?

    I was always taught never to say anything about the dead unless it’s good. He’s dead. Good!

    I think that was well crafted.

    • No mention of “good” or any other positive in connection with his work.
    • mentioned dedication to his work, which is the minimum you can say without insults
    • “thoughts” without the “prayers”, that is a really nice slapp :D

    I’m sure there is more in there that i missed, but this is basically a “good riddance, finally” in terms that can be understood as polite.
