I'm really starting to think that death is the only alternative from living through this sadism one second longer.

No one will stop this. There is nothing we can do. So...why bother.

I can tell the difference between edgy jokes and true hate

I don't think Sam Hyde is a racist

Trump Administration doesn't know crap. They probably pulled the plug and had no idea what it was connected to and is now in damage control mode trying to say "Oh it was never meant to affect this or that".

He's good at being impartial and looks at things logically

Im urging Homeland Security to PROTECT Cubans awaiting legal status adjustment through the Cuban Adjustment Act. We must ALSO protect the Venezuelans and Nicaraguans without a criminal record going through the asylum process. Dont penalize them for Bidens screw-ups!

Yeah, but Im traumatized.

Power grid is gonna go zonk again isn't it?

His own campaign had Trump winning over 400 EVs.

Dems will try to tell you Trump doesn't have a mandate, when Harris lost all 7 swing states, is the first Democratic candidate in 20 years to lose the popular vote, and is the first candidate since 1932 to not flip a single county.

Being any harsher on Israel would have lost Democrats votes. The fact that it became such a central campaign issue is pretty unfortunate when you consider how many deaths will be tallied from the multitude of other unaddressed wrongs in today's world.

I didn't say the decision to tout Cheney's endorsement was a wise one, I said the accusation that Harris touted Cheney's endorsement because she was trying to frame herself as a conservative has no basis in reality.

I'm not saying the DNC has no room to change and I'm not going to ignore many of the oversights of the Harris/Walz campaign. I'm just saying that the most vocal progressives are even more shortsighted and out of touch with how the majority of US citizens think than the DNC is, and it's unfathomable that progressives feel so emboldened to blame the DNC for this loss after doing so much diligent work to effectively sabotage any real campaign momentum.

A genocide that is still ongoing while we now face many more catastrophes as a much greater global population.

Taking a harder stance on Israel/Palestine would not have gained Democrats more votes overall. Most Americans were more or less unconcerned about the entire situation, but progressives helped make it a central campaign issue for more people to use to shit on Biden or Harris in effort to strong-arm the executive branch.

Stay uselessly virtuous. I'm done with people that can't fucking let reality seep in.

You're being disingenuous. They weren't saying, "the Cheneys support us because we're so conservative." They were saying, "the Cheneys support us because the alternative is a threat to American democracy."

Black staff members reportedly felt that the Black vote was being taken for granted, and when they aired their complaints in a post-election call, Harriss deputy campaign manager told staff members that talking to the press would ruin their career prospects. There appears to have been racism in the allocation of resources, with the campaign deliberately choosing to more heavily fund operations in white suburbs and neglecting Black urban centers. (Perhaps on the theory that the Democrats had already successfully appeased Black voters by selecting a Black woman.) Organizers said they were told not to engage in the bread-and-butter tasks of getting out the vote in Black and Latino neighborhoods and instead were turned into glorified telemarketers. As a result, Harris staffers resorted to going rogue and setting up their own unauthorized operations in a desperate attempt to get out the Black vote.

As operations targeting Black voters were starved, the Harris campaign spent lavishly on other things, paying for an avalanche of advertising, social-media influencers, a for-hire door-knocking operation, thousands of staff, pricey rallies, a splashy Oprah town hall, celebrity concerts and even drone shows. They spent roughly twice as much as Trump in the final days of the race. Harris ally Bakari Sellers comments that We had so much money it was hard to get it out the door. Not that they didnt try, and the Times reports that a bevy of consultants, allies and others were often angling for a cut. Some of them seem to have succeeded and four companies received at least $90 million in payments as of mid-October, including one firm whose cumulative receipts from the Harris campaign approached $300 million.

There was $2.5 million directed toward three digital agencies that work with online influencers and the campaign spent around $900,000 to book advertising on the exterior of the Sphere venue in Las Vegas. YouTube host Roland Martin received $350,000 from the campaign for a media buy, at least part of which appeared to consist of an interview on his show that racked up under 130,000 views.

Saving for posterity....

Must be fun living in an alternate reality with alternative facts.

In this alternate reality Biden is using the military to shutdown protests and round up American Palestinian Supporters, revoke their citizenship, and deport them.
