Wow, finally a news outlet that calls it out like it is. Wait for CNN's take that blames black people, progressives, and Muslims.
The only one being naive here is you. I don't think it will stop cause Trump won. It will likely get worse. Democrats could have stopped it though, but their "we're terrible, but the other guy is worse" messaging isn't as effective as "no more genocide."
Agreed 100%. It's the refusal to self-reflect and attacks on anyone who dare to question that turns people away. Not only is Bill Clinton a terrible campaign messenger, but he was chastising Arab-americans in Michigan for being against genocide. Just like Obama was blaming black men.
Almost like Kamala could have changed her stance on the situation and got those people out to vote for her. But sure, let's blame people not willing to hold their nose and vote for more genocide.
I don't think the white guy thing is as important as at least he would have been someone that wasn't directly tied to the White House that has been lying about genocide for the last year, or apartheid for the last 4 years.
I'm sorry, forgive me if I don't take advice from the party that just lost. After Kamala picked Walz she was up by more than 5 points in many states that she was trailing in at the end of her campaign. People skip voting when you pick unpopular policies like Praise the Cheney's, No Different than Zionist Joe, Billionaire Mark Cuban Is the Greatest, and Hollywood Loves Me.
It absolutely matters. If Democrats don't learn anything from this, which I doubt that they will, it will be the same thing in 4 more years.
Democrats will take no responsibility for why they lost.
In other words, the people that refused to cater to the cultic cognitive dissonance are to blame and Democrats will learn nothing.
No they wouldn't have. You saw the polls when Kamala picked Tim Walz. The people wanted popular progressive policies. The donor-class establishment messaging that followed is precisely why they lost.
I agree. Fuck the establishment Democrats. Fuck the astroturf bots and genocide supporters. We need a need left party that isn't full of corporate cucks.
100%. It wasn't just the genocide though. They alienated the progressives. Kamala was scared to actually talk outside of mostly scripted messaging and interviews. They didn't provide and explain strong progressive policies. To me, Kamala was pretty indistinguishable from Joe Biden and other corporate Democrats. Her picking Tim Walz was a great move and she was way up in the polls. Had she leaned into him more, broke from Joe Biden (even thrown him under the bus a bit), and turned to other progressives for advice rather than the DNC corporate consultants, she would have won.
