    Both her husband and her campaign manager (her brother in law) are hard core zionists who pushed Harris to ditch the left. What those two wanted was support for israel, and that meant turning away progressives to get votes from the right. The only way those two were ‘losing’ would be if Harris or Trump won + turned left, which didnt happen. So they got an acceptable outcome. Harris chose her allies (and husband) badly.

    I cant imagine a dem ever winning a pro genocide, anti american worker campaign, can you? I can easily imagine right wingers winning such a thing, and thats what happened. Republican voters will cheerfully turn out to harm people— and dems a bit less so. Some of you think thats a problem, and I dont think it is. I’m glad we’re not a party that wins based on embracing mass murder and war crimes.

      Yeah, she also was going on about fracking.

      Campaign was like “see, I’m left of Trump and he’s literally the devil. Never mind that I’m to the right of Nixon myself. Blue no matter who! Shame on you for not bothering to vote.”

      I dislike Trump. I mean he’s evil and is trying to erase me.

      But I hate Kamala. Because betrayal cuts deeper.
