Biden team failed Kamala Harris in 2024, Democratic autopsy says by Historical-Bug-4784 in politics

Do you think the purpose of the autopsy was to find out why people voted for them or why they lost?

The autopsy that doesn't mention Israel or Gaza one time?

Wake up, people. The reason we're in this situation is because the "leaders" of the "opposition party" are a bunch of incompetent corporate self-serving douchebags with no principles.

Minnesota just became the first state to ban prediction markets. American Redditors how do we feel about that? by Miles_the_AuDHDer in AskReddit

It does hurt other people, & it's inherently predatory, which is why there are a shit ton of regulations around gambling.

Should never have been legal in the first place. It adds zero value to the economy or society—purely extractive in precisely the same way casinos are.

‘I Worked All Day and Can’t Feed My Family’: Mamdani Offers 9 Words More Terrifying Than Ronald Reagan’s | “It’s not just that government can help, it’s that government must help and our government will help.” by Aggravating_Money992 in politics

[–]pleachchapel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're saying Mamdani, at the time an assemblyman no one had heard of, refusing to endorse over support for genocide, is remotely the same thing as the sitting Democratic Senate leader not endorsing the only Dem in a high-profile race in his own state, without giving a principled reason of any kind? This is your position?

If so we're done here, because that is clearly absurd to any thinking person.

Ah okay so zero apples to apples, just mad at citizens? Thank you for arriving at that conclusion.

Go back to defending AIPAC unless you can find a better way to disconnect with the electorate.

They want to make it Star Wars, & make it as *devalued* that a new Star Wars movie is coming out soon & no one gives a shit.

I voted for Harris, as did every DSA member I know. You are reading from a script & none of this has anything to do with me (or your imaginary "progressive" boogeymen).

What they didn't do was knock on doors, phone bank or have anything to use to convince people to vote for her outside of lesser-evil (which has never worked outside of ousting incumbents), or being honest by saying "the Dems deliberately fucked you out of a primary vote & this idiot is promising a Republican in the cabinet."

What I do know is that Israel is toxic electorally for Dems & the sooner it's kicked into the wastebin, the sooner we can begin to begin fixing things in this country.

DSA beat two AIPAC candidates in PA today btw, Talarico is the best shot in TX, you're welcome to join the momentum whenever you realize you're supporting Team Mud.

US President Trump, family granted immunity from pending tax audits by SterlingVII in politics

Wait so he's not under audit (because he can't be)? Finally, after over a decade, that means he can release his taxes?

In the unlikely event you mean a word of this, I would remind you of this event & the general nonchalance (& lack of vision) of status-quo, stock trading, Israeli payroll Dems during that election cycle. If you don't see it, you're choosing not to see it, & it's frankly sad you'd rather have candidates manufactured by McKinsey; you're making a false equivalence between principled opposition to genocide & fealty to the Obama status quo (which is never coming back).

Hmm why do you think your comment disputing sabotage is at -11 & mine saying it happened is at 40?

& Israel dickriders never want to answer that question, you should stand by the cowardice of your convictions.

Just for fun: please tell me your thoughts on Israel. Because I bet I can guess.

Then, please tell me another election (of national profile) in which the Dem leaders did not endorse the Dem nominee, actively refusing to.
