Politicians aren't athletes. She didn't lose. The American people chose Trump. The American people lost.
That's some serious cope
Politicians are worst than athlete when it comes to being sore losers. She lost the election and instead of just accepting the result and participate in the fight to prevent Trump for continuing the destroy the democracy in the US she keep blaming other people for losing the election
Again you think she's an athlete because that's how the press frames it. An election is a contest of the people.
"Other people" are actually the ones that lost the election.
If you don't like the term lose, fine. You just trying to create a fake problem. The reality is trump became the president and she didn't. Instead of keep tqlking about the election that ended she keep complaning about it instead of fighting along people to protect democracy that Trump try to destroy. The reality is that she is just here to sell a book
Fight? Americans told her to go away. It's Americans' fault we have Trump. There's nothing wrong with her telling you an inconvenient truth. You aren't forced to buy the book.
Do you realize that she still an American living in the USA . Everybody should fight for their countries. Don't cry if one day Trump goes full authoritarian and start jailing any opposition.
Also what the 48% of americans who voted for her should be punished too? They are not worth fighting for?
If she don't want to join the fight she should just fall into obscurity as a ragular american
???
She put in 8 years for America. What have you done?
Don't deflect
That's not a deflection! She actually fought for 8 years and yet you attack her while doing nothing.
You are deflecting from the fact that Trump is trying to create an authoritarian regime so politicians who are against it should do what they have to do not for the population freedom only but herself too . If she don't want to join the fight she should simply fall into obscurity and live a regular life . But you are a cultist and you want understand
Yet you expect everyone to fight for you while you do nothing but criticize.
That's what writing a book is! Like Ulysses Grant who wrote a book in retirement.
I expect everyone to fight for themselves against the threat of authoritarianism but you are just a cultist worshiping certain politicians
Writing a book is for you to immortalized and not fall into the obscurity of History. Your book may be transferred over decades from someone to someone else
How is letting someone who fought for America for 8 years have some time off a "cultist"? I'm not promoting the book.
Ulysses Grant wrote his book specifically for money! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_Memoirs_of_U._S._Grant
You can't say a single minor critisism about your cult and your cult leader
Your complaint about money was bad- as I showed Grant wrote a book for money too.
No one is wearing Harris hats. Your use of the word cult is wrong.
Both USA party are cults. The republican cult is worse but you guys are still terrible cultislts
My critisism was not about caring about making money but for only caring about that but as a cultist you only want to hear what you want to here
You not understanding that Americans chose Trump doesn't make me a cult member.
Your position is, "Agree with me or you are in a cult."
That's exactly what a cult leader would say.
With your logic, if I don't publicly criticize Zohran Mamdani for the rest of his life, I'm in a cult.
Your position is absurd.
48% of americans voted for her yet you don't care about them and want Harris to sbondon them. You are a cultist because of that
Harris needs to be a slave to your demands or I am in a cult?
Jimmy Carter abandoned politics and spent the rest of his life working for charity. You think I am in a cult because of what Jimmy Carter did?
That's beyond absurd.
You just an idiot. I'm out. Don't start crying when Trump make the USA a dictatorship
Insults because you realized how absurd your claims are.
A former politician said something you don't like and that makes anyone that agrees with that singular statement in a cult. A former politician decides to not continue to risk her life when the majority of Americans are against her and that makes anyone that doesn't demand her slavery a cultist. Because if Harris isn't free to give up politics like Jimmy Carter, then she's a slave.
