          You’re allowed to be rude on the internet, dunno if you knew that.

          Kamala losing was Kamalas choice. She ran a campaign aimed at republicans and centrists, instead of, you know, her actual base of support.

            it was also biden’s fault. If he knew he wasn’t going to run again, he should have stepped down and let Kamala show how capable she is or isn’t.

            It’s literally the first rule of this community to not be a dick. Dunno if you knew that.

            Kamala took her base for granted, which is true. But those voters still chose to not show up just as they did with Hillary. It took a lot of people’s apathy to get where we are now. It wasn’t all just one person.

              Right, if my 2 choices were for genocide, I’m voting 3rd party. Many many people feel the same way, and Kamala knew that, and decided to continue support for genocide, and try and appeal to republicans.

              The blame lies squarely on her and the Dem establishments shoulders.

                Not only did she continue to support genocide but then also spent half her campaign trail parading around with the Cheneys.

                  I didn’t get one, despite the fact that there are global consequences to her failure as a candidate. I hope you’re satisfied having voted to further fund, support and continue a genocide.

                    Ah, your naive view of national politics in the US makes a lot more sense. As a presidential race goes on, candidates drop out and the pool shrinks until there are two viable choices.

                    Your comforting scenario of rejecting this premise and voting for a third party has the potential to work on local and regional elections, as seen with recent DSA victories, but not for the POTUS. It’s sudden death, winner takes all. Americans had a choice between Kamala and Trump. The third option was not to vote and here we are now.
