In her new book, Kamala Harris insists she only lost the election because she didn’t have enough time. But she accidentally demonstrates the real reason: she’s a terrible politician.
I’ve only seen this phenomenon on Lemmy where it’s a hard stance all or nothing about every hot topic. Also, I think many here are privileged people. After all, it’s not the Lemmy user’s families being abducted at immigration hearings or whose kids are losing their only meal option because Republicans ended school lunches. So they yap all day about the genocide in Gaza, don’t bother to vote and the cycle repeats. Because in the end, they personally are not affected
Yep. I’ve got Hispanic friends (I don’t live too far from Chicago) and a friend with a trans daughter who are all trying to move and figure out how to live. But then I log in here and get to hear about how the moral and righteous thing to do is sit on the couch and do jack shit until someone brings “a candidate worth voting for”. Those goddam towels are always just a little too far away.
Because that’s the sane thing to do.
If you think Trump is worse than Harris but didn’t vote for Harris then you deserve the stupid bed you helped make us all sleep in. 🤷
Edit:
Always happy to get the overnight downvotes from the euro brigade. The true experts of US electoral politics. Thanks guys!
