I hope she is rich. I guess to her it's feelings over policyDeal with the collective repercussions dummy.
GAZA over civil rights, Gaza over the ACA, over police immunity, over abortion rights. Get the fuck outta here with that Toure. Man fuck them kids.
Far lefty folk tried that shit back in 2016 over Sanders, and dheld they votes on Clinton or voted for Stein.
Welp fuck and around, don't vote in protest and deal with the consequences. Don't call me asking for favors or support, shiiiit.
In a nutshell, that's what this election was about.
Power! Cowardly cacs wanting power over women, immigrants, or whomever they feel like lording over.
Just a bunch of pussies and chump activated all of them.
A few are going to find out the hard way and loose some teeth or maybe their lives trying to be tough.
I don;'t buy that though.
Every single time the voters have had a chance to vote for her and Bernie's big changes, they have voted against them.
The Green New Deal was not a plus.
Ok I just need a one word response to this specific question...
DID THE DEMOCRATS DO ANYTHING WRONG THAT LEAD TO THIS RESULT?
My brother @easy_b believes Democrats dis absolutely nothing wrong and this all lays at the feet of the racist uneducated voters who supported a felon rapist neo nazi.
I disagree.
I think it's much more complicated and while it's true this voter base is very distressing choosing the worst of us to be the leader of free world, the democrats are guilty of a serious disconnect within their party. They have to fix that.
What say yall?

I fully agree that this is gonna get worse before it gets better my guy. I stated earlier with a meme a quote often that we’re leaving the era of weak men who are about to create hard times. It’s gonna happen 100%. Shits about to get tough.
But I question if it needed to IF the adults in the room were paying closer attention.
I respect your stance and it’s very reasonable but the fact remains that it was a problem. Moderates weren’t trying to hear that and nobody ever came over to them to lend an ear. That feeling of abandonment is manifesting as retribution as we speak.
And even Bernie, the man we were juuuussst talking about, echoed the same thing I just mentioned:
There are those in the party who realized they fucked this up bad.
You mean people rejected open borders
Tranny sports
Straight out lies
A questionable candidate
An active genocide
Endless wars
Fear mongering
$7 eggs
And
Million dollar houses?
Yall so out of touch on nBGOL
Like the great @gene cisco said: "don't listen to these purple haired faggits on twitter"
And Trump ain't fixing any of that shit. Motherfuckers voting on the price of some eggs. WTF people think they will cost when all the cheap labor is deported?
If the regular American wants a higher wage, don't they expect the price of goods to also increase?
Obese ass Mid-westerners can't walk around the block worrying about the one transgender per city in sports. Their fat ass kids ain't hooping anyway
I don't like dicks in women's locker rooms either, but I sure as hell don't want a man who has had raped multiple women, beat his wives, making that decision.
The modern voting public is lost. And disingenuous. And emotional and uninformed and unreliable and shortsighted and racist and sexist.
But the RIGHT was able to target all that sh*t and make it work on record numbers.
Even black men didn't represent as well as they should in important cases (see PA)
I wish high ranking Democrats could have been in your classroom today.
Well, one Democrat in particular did something wrong. Biden promised to be a transitional president when he took office.
At some point before, at least, 2022 he should've made a speech where he clearly explained to the American people, a la LBJ, that he wasn't seeking re-election. If he didn't trust Kamala to seal the deal, this would've allowed enough time to hold Democratic primaries.
Bars democrats need to hear
Hate is an easy sell brotha.
"We're going to attack everyone that is not a straight white male"
That's what they rallied around.
Hell, he held that MSG rally to really drive the point home. We thought it was a mistake when really it was the closing message.
If we can get everyone in the Democratic coalition to hate the same thing or people (like trump in 2020) then that would work.
Also Republicans were out of power for 4 years, so they were eager to get it back. Just watch what Dem turnout is like in 2028 (if there is an election)
Why we sick, massa? Gots to respect his victory huh?Lock that bitch up
This is 100% the correct answer. Not to mention she had to dig herself out of the hole HE created.
If that's the question, the answer is: yes.
I'm still not ready to say specifically, but I also can't say that it was a flawless campaign. Mistakes were made, and while the outreach game was strong, I would argue that they probably did lose touch with base voters by trying to reach too hard to Republicans who have consistently shown that they are intransigent.
That's not ignoring the voters, who consistently vote against their best interest (or specifically, the public's best interest). But that's not what you asked.
Ran a woman. This country, regardless of her color, IS NOT going to elect a woman for POTUS. Look at those ballots in Michigan & N.C. They voted Dem down ticket, and then voted for Trump. Again, JMO.
He's not just referring to this campaign though but to what Democrats have been doing for decades. This campaign was very "moderate" in the sense that Kamala veered far right. When Trump can criticize you for playing nice with "war criminals" like the Cheneys, then you've gone too far.
So, I guess you're right in this sense, the moderates were left behind but not for the left wing. The Democrats treat the left wing like red-headed step children. They were left by the Democrats for the right-wing.
Shit, even in her concession speech, Kamala offered to help Trump. She veered right and it hurt her. No one speaks to working class concerns better than the left. Forget the culture war bullshit, the left, not the Democrats, have been the only group to consistently fight for labor, the poor, and the working class.
fixed
Agreed. Biden is the RBG of Presidents.
Bernie's not right and he never will be.
The problem with Bernie Sanders is that he acts like racism doesn't exist and everything is based off of class. The reason white working class people, and when Bernie Sanders talks working class he specifically means white working class people, left the Democratic party is because the Democratic party is the party of civil rights. You can't have a Democratic party whose base is black voters while at the same time appealing to White Working Class People because they dislike the idea of black people having civil rights and being seen as equal to them.
That's why I get so tired of Bernie Sanders because he has such a simplistic View and to be honest his ass is just as racist as a lot of other white people just no one thinks he is.
Oh but you and I both know that we just won't follow their recommendations.
Health and human services influenced by RFK is a non starter for me.....
Patient: They said online that I should take this."
Me: "Yeah we ain't doing none of that bullshit RFK is on...."
Damn right ^^^^
I was on mychart with our kids medical team today.
They said Playa, respectfully?
Ain't nobody listening to that man and his worm.
Democrats have alot of issues and the message is one of them. They need to understand men don't care about the think peices and all the case studies and all that men just want a job some pussy aka wife and a house you don't need all the other conversation .
Plenty of white men get paid well and dress like crap and don't care about image.
Democrats need to figure out what the goal is if they really care about gaining power then they need to embrace us and pass reparations. If they don't then it's a wrap most don't care about the conversation which is usually less from criticism.
^^^^
100% agreed
So the democrats made a mistake not being able to recognize that and capitalizing on that sentiment.
So many in here are falling for the Okie doke.
White working class voters will never come over to the Democratic party as long as the Democratic party also appeals to Black voters. White Working Class People view Black people as rivals and they do not want Black people to have any success. They view Black success as something that's taking away from their success.
Also one more thing, a lot of these white dudes who are in unions they're about to get a huge wake up call. Because I know they voted for Trump and nobody is as anti-union As Trump and his crew of people.
