I was gonna title this "And here I sit so patiently waiting to find out what price you have to pay to get out of going through all these things twice" and then write "Stuck inside of America with the fascism blues again" here, but I'm not sure if that comes off like gloating and that's honestly the last thing I want to do this morning.

Remember when everyone hated Cheney? Not sure why the Democrats thought they would help them win an election.

I went to check Reddit. for a bit It is interesting to see the difference in reaction on Lemmy and Reddit. At least Lemmy is now admitting that running a Republican campaign with Lez Cheney might not have been the best idea.

There is absolutely zero self reflection on Reddit. All blame lies on "racist imigrants".

And Democrats had the perfect economic plan too. Forget Kamala failing to secure the Unions. No teamsters endorsement. Forget the railroad strike shutdown. Forget massive inflation. The genocide is never even mentioned on Reddit. Kamala was 100% perfect in every single way.

No mention of the massive increase of young white voters for Trump.

Democrats will lose again in 2028. They vehemently refuse to learn from any of this. Instead of doing anything progressive they will say everyone is a racist and move right.

So we’re not downvoting anything even slightly critical of the democrats anymore?

Good. Because they fucked this one up.

There is a tiger on the lose. Let's blame the people who are against caging the tiger in the first place.

I can't believe the bullshit with the Cheneys. When a war criminal like Dick Cheney endorses you, you disavow them.

Harris even got endorsed by Richard Spencer, who's a white nationalist, and she didn't say shit! What was she thinking? "I've got the neocon vote, now maybe I'll get the Nazi vote"?

[–] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 6 hours ago

"Stein got a Nazi to endorse her even though she disowned it, she's horrid."

"Harris openly loved Cheney and didn't say anything Spencer, she's the the most progressive person to ever run!"

I switched my registration party from Democrat to Independent today. Tired of this shit. Enough is enough I'm voting my values from now on.

Speaking as a hungarian having lived under Orbán's rule for 16 years and counting, don't worry; after this point you will have either no elections or they will be a pointless mockery only.

[–] kofe@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

The fact that you're registered is wild to me. One of the few things my state has right is having open primaries imo

[–] frayedpickles@lemmy.cafe 10 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

Til a few hundred words by rando dude I've never heard of is an "autopsy".

[–] feedum_sneedson@lemmy.world 12 points 8 hours ago (2 children)
[–] frayedpickles@lemmy.cafe 1 points 1 hour ago

Oof I was just giving the benefit of the doubt since I didn't feel like counting. What a real absolute take down that 50-word autopsy was.

[–] CoffeeJunkie@lemmy.cafe 4 points 5 hours ago

But it felt like a Harry Potter book to him 😮‍💨

...Is this somehow a big block of incomprehensible text to you, or are you somehow looking at a different image? It's a tweet.

[–] frayedpickles@lemmy.cafe 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Ermm....yes? I honestly can't make the connection between your response and my message. No idea what you're getting at.

[–] CoffeeJunkie@lemmy.cafe -1 points 5 hours ago

Where is this "muscular border policy"? I'm not seeing it anywhere! 😂

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 16 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Isn't it amazing that both the female democratic candidates for president in our history have campaigned with war criminals and then lost. I wonder if there's a lesson there?

[–] feedum_sneedson@lemmy.world 9 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Famed pacifist Hillary Clinton

Poor thing was under sniper fire one time.

Democrats were too busy making sure progressive candidates were banned from participating in democracy.

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 26 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

The Democratic Convention had room on the stage for anti-choice Republicans, but none for Palestinian-Americans. I heard the speech that representative was going to give. There was nothing controversial in there. It didn't mention an arms embargo. Having them present was too much for the DNC.

[–] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago) (1 children)

It's a big tent party for "former" Republicans, oligarchs, corporations, but not anyone the Republicans are making hit lists of right now.

Palestinians can't even attend, "she's talking right now." Meanwhile she just has lunch with the people who made the War ~~for Oil~~ on Terror, and acts like this is true progress and you're the bad guy for not warming up to Dick Chaney.
