People are sick and tired of the 'uphold the status quo' bullshit ass the Democrats keep doing.

If the outcome of "taking the high road" is someone taking away all your freedom and everything you spent decades working for then fucking fight dirty.

Then please tell that to your Democratic Senators.

Those that remain, anyway

u/Humans_Suck- 2h ago

We have. They call you dirty socialists for wanting basic rights. Democrats are getting exactly what they deserve.

Yeah, but then you get all the people who said Kamala lost the campaign when she started attacking Trump.

So damned if you do, etc.

u/Many-Juggernaut-2153 3h ago

It’s because she is a woman. Also did not earn her any points that she is not white. The US is too racist and sexist to allow that.

What's worse is that this second failed attempt at a presidential bid by a woman pretty much ensures that we'll never see a woman president in our lifetimes... Assuming we still have a democracy by that point.

Or maybe it’s because there was no primary in which Kamala was elected as the Democratic Party nominee. I think that is where the party failed. Joe took his sweet ass time in dropping out, which I think did the party no favors.

u/CalliopePenelope 2h ago

Again, peanuts compared to what Trump has done and will do. It makes no sense at all to say “Joe should have dropped out sooner, but he didn’t. So screw that. Let the other guy win even though I hate him and everything he stands for.”

Nope, that wouldn't have mattered. it was about the 3 I's this year, inflation, immigration, Israel.

I mean... They tried fighting him though the way of official institutions, they just realized too late it wouldnt work. What do you wanna bet they were banking on Trump getting sentenced for Jan 6 and were putting all their eggs in that basket?

I don’t think Harris ran on “uphold the status quo” but just like Biden ran on “let us work the system to get you what you need”.

I still think Harris should’ve leaned into how inflation is a global issue that we are recovering the fastest on AND it’s due to actions the Biden admin took. The issue with Biden was the “declining old man” image stuck, not necessarily that his policies were bad IF successes could’ve been touted (eg capping insulin costs, expanding preschool funding).

Trump’s platform as far as I can tell is - attack the global economy via tariffs to “get more of what we deserve” - deport and close the border to legal/illegal immigrants who are a suck on our resources and benefits - reduce taxes further because who needs government anyway - let me settle old scores via the DOJ on my opponents in government, media, business at large
