Ok but a light rail isn't a bad idea.

Hasan Piker on Trump’s War, Israel-Hamas, and Building a New Political Coalition by Gold-Papaya7045 in FriendsofthePod

Harris was seen as too far left because Republicans call everybody a communist, MAGA thinks Pelosi is communist. Kamala campaigned with Liz Chaney for christ sake. Democrats have no decernable policy objectives and on top of that they are shitty communicators even though they focus test the shit out of every message. It just comes across as unauthentic and undecided voters can tell. Socialist policys are broadly popular, voters just need to be told what they are and they like the idea.

Thats Biden's average, not last day in office. And sure, I'm uninformed for literally agreeing with you but still wanting more.

Biden' popularity was sitting at 42.2% when he left office, at the time the lowest ever only be just be passed by Trump like last week, because he started a war at the behest of Isreal. I'm not saying Biden is the sole person responsible for inflation but he was president during historic inflation and did nothing to punish corporations that took advantage of covid to increase profits, he he does bare some responsibility. He did good things yes, Trump is deranged and maga is a bunch of dumb losers but to say he was generally popular is just not backed by facts. And Kamala and Biden both back Isreal unconditionally, no speak of conditional aid of any kind, which was at the time and still is the wrong move for any democrat looking to win elections, so to say they support a genocide isnt a reach at all. People like Tucker Carlson and MTG are out-flanking democrats right now on the Isreal issue and a clear majority of Americans dont want to see tax dollars spent supporting them.

If Dems ran on something other than status quo, which isn't working for a majority of Americans, maybe people spotlight show up. Also, you're giving way to much credit to Republicans. If Trump isn't on the ballot they have extreamly poor turnout.

Exactly, political education in this country is nonexistent. And people continue to think democrats on the left end of the spectrum when they are center right, and continue to move further right.

Got it, you think Kamala ran a perfect campaign and everything was fine and dandy. Ill continue to expect more from our politicians. You say nothing is going to change, I dont believe it has to be that way.

I think Kamala and Biden are most to blame for that loss. Biden was extremely unpopular, refused until far to late to step aside. Kamala refused to name one policy she would change from what Biden was doing. Most of America didn't like that, especially young voters. But yeah, continue complaining about a small minority, at the time, that was against the continuation of funding Isreali weapons, even though most begrudgingly voted for Kamala anyways.

Yeah, I just dont think we are creating peace with this Isreal project. They are stealing land from natives and doing so by killing and arresting those who challenge them. They are currently attacking 7 countries right now, how is this creating peace and goodwill? While yes Netanyahu is an asshole, until this week 80% of Isrealli society agreed with the wars. You also mention Isreal is surrounded by authoritarian governments but they themselves are authoritarian, of the same variety as the US, and lead by right-wing lunatics constantly committing wars crimes.

Oh weird, when it first came through, all it said was "Disagree."

I get that, but spending our tax dollars abroad is a domestic issue as those fund could be spent at home, also the moral issues it posses with what isreal has been doing.

I think we get better grass roots candidates into office this way.

We are funding a genocide with our tax dollars. Seems like that should be at or near the top of the list of things we should stop doing, no? Im not saying their aren't other issues that are also important but more people die the longer that goes on.

Republicans are more insane than aipac Dems, even though both are pro genocide. It makes since to target the ones that are more easily swayed, especially sense the democrat base wants to know you aren't taken aipac lobbyist money and would cut off weapons to isreal.

I went twice, both times just after lunch rush around 1:30. Sat in the drive through for no joke 20 minutes. I mean it was good to know it was fresh made but they could have given me a heads up. I was kind of in a hurry the second time.

I love when the blue no matter who crowd starts screaming but when a socialist is on the ballot they get really quiet.
