      Aside from caring about Gaza a little more than Biden and way more than Trump, I’m not sure what Harris did to warrant that. Both sides again?

        If you’re seriously asking, here’s a non-exhaustive list in no particular order. She:

        • Refused to break with the immensely unpopular Biden.

        • Actively gaslit the working class and all but ignored their economic troubles (remember “nothing really comes to mind”?).

        • Refused to even pay lipservice to or make symbolic (let alone material) concessions regarding the Gaza genocide, and actively antagonized the part of her base that cared.

        • Legitimized rightwing talking points on issues such as immigration.

        • Campaigned on being bad for the climate (i.e. fracking).

        As plenty of people (including yours truly) had warned, Harris running doomed America to another Trump term for the sake of her wealthy donors. I think I have every right to be pissed at her.

          Y’all still on about her Gaza stance, like, yeah the genocide of thousands of innocent Palestinians is horrific and the IDF are terrorists (as is Hamas).

          But I voted for her. Because I wanted to prevent a fucking genocide in the United States.

          But here were are anyway. A blossoming genocide inside the fucking United States.

          This is victim blaming, at it’s finest. Fuck everybody who thinks like this.

        Setting aside the validity of your point, “Harris wasn’t perfect” is gaslighting and will never get anyone on your side. If you don’t accept the reality that Harris was a terrible candidate and a step towards fascism rather than away from it, nobody who doesn’t already agree with you will give you the time of day.

          You’re entitled to your own opinion but I disagree.

          and a step towards fascism rather than away from it,

          You seem to have rolled a 1 on your perception check.

          nobody who doesn’t already agree with you will give you the time of day.

          Which is why I’m not going to waste my energy trying to change your mind.
