@barbour_mike @WhackedNut @ArielGonzalez_1 @mehdirhasan Sounds like you should be harping at the zero-agency suburban Republicans the Democratic Party makes 100% of its decisions to win over
Or the people who decided on that strategy
English

@i_slamson @WhackedNut @ArielGonzalez_1 @mehdirhasan Ah, yes, the zero-agency leftists. I forgot if people don’t pander to you, you’re incapable of discernment
English

I tried to tell people who didn’t vote Dem in 2024 ‘to teach Democrats a lesson’ that sadly Democrats will never learn that lesson.
Here’s Booker simply attacking and mocking people who didn’t show up to vote Dem. It’s always the voters’ fault, never the Dems or their candidates.

.@CoryBooker: “You may disagree with her [Kamala Harris] on 10% of her views, but you let someone get in office who you disagree with on everything. You let somebody get in office who is locking up our children. You let somebody in office who is taking away our healthcare.”
English

@barbour_mike @WhackedNut @ArielGonzalez_1 @mehdirhasan Harris campaigned to win Republican defectors, not us
Take it up with them, I guess
English

@i_slamson @WhackedNut @ArielGonzalez_1 @mehdirhasan No we have Trump because Berniecrats refuse to live in actual reality.
English

@barbour_mike @WhackedNut @ArielGonzalez_1 @mehdirhasan Bernie talks about things that would be good to do, while Biden acts in ways that are hugely self-destructive
That's why we have Trump
English

@barbour_mike @WhackedNut @ArielGonzalez_1 @mehdirhasan Forty years of being correct and courageous while the Democrats were hypocrites and cowards, yes
English

@i_slamson @WhackedNut @ArielGonzalez_1 @mehdirhasan “He pushed legislation”
And none of it got passed because it was DOA. 😂 in forty years
English

@WhackedNut @ArielGonzalez_1 @mehdirhasan Okay, he also pushed legislation years and decades before the Democratic Party felt it was safe enough to do so
The only way he wouldn't have passed bills as strong or stronger would have been if the Democrats sabotaged him, as they tend to do
English

@i_slamson @ArielGonzalez_1 @mehdirhasan “Running” and actually doing something while in office are two VERY different things, champ.
English

@WhackedNut @ArielGonzalez_1 @mehdirhasan Bernie was running on climate and gay rights back when Biden was working on bussing policy and hanging out with Strom Thurmond
English

@InfosecThrow Yeah Democrats let Trump set the agenda before trying to outflank him on his home turf, further validating everything he'd been saying and making themselves look like lying hypocrites
Drastic, consequential mistakes that nobody owns except them
English

@i_slamson You should stop commenting on politics if you think only anti-Trump republicans cared about the border in 2026.
The county that went blue just now? You think that didn’t have defectors?
English

@Plingus4 @mehdirhasan But even if it were true, nobody would have believed Harris believed any of it (or really much of anything)
English

@Plingus4 @mehdirhasan "She offered the most progressive platform ever run on in a general election for president."
We both know you can't defend this claim in any substantial fashion, about a candidate whose centerpiece domestic policy was "I can build the wall better than Trump, actually"
English

@WhackedNut @ArielGonzalez_1 @mehdirhasan Still not "more progressive than Bernie" lmao
And also, doing things "quietly" in politics is a great way to get people not to notice or care
Maybe Harris should have run on building on these policies rather than building the wall
English

@Plingus4 @mehdirhasan If you walk around in the dark and stub your toe, is that also the left's fault?
She went after the suburban Republican Panera dads instead of the left, and didn't get them either
Don't blame the people to whom she offered nothing except contempt and condescension
English

@i_slamson @mehdirhasan If you voted for Harris and encouraged your community to do so I don't blame you.
If you couldn't see past leftist purity issues like bringing a republican who wants trump in jail to a red state, then yeah, you should've read up on her progressive policies. I blame you.
English

@WhackedNut @ArielGonzalez_1 @mehdirhasan Bussing Biden, architect of the Drug War and a guy who made "let's try to outflank the GOP on the border" a centerpiece of his presidency?
Lmao sure, tell yourself whatever you want I guess
English

@InfosecThrow @mattlieb Biden and Harris got Trump elected, FYI
Leftists didn't pick the candidate, didn't even run a primary challenger, and things like her border policy and campaigning with Liz Cheney were clearly pitched at anti-Trump Republican defectors, who still showed up for her even less
English

@mattlieb Purity testing a Youtuber who makes 1 video a year for not saying the G word enough to cover for leftists getting Trump elected again is pathetic.
English

@RoyDelfino @mattlieb Nobody said that
Granted, he probably *would* if there was, like, a good real estate deal on the table or more Epstein stuff came out and he needed a distraction
But nobody said he *has*
English

@mattlieb You think Trump committed genocide in Venezuela. Deeply unserious person.
English

@Plingus4 @mehdirhasan Shouldn't leftists openly disliking Harris have improved her standing with the moderates and anti-Trump Republicans she was clearly playing to with things like her "try to outflank the GOP on the border" strategy, campaigning with Liz Cheney, etc?
Don't blame us for her bad plan
English

@mehdirhasan He's right - in a democracy you're never going to get your 100% aligned candidate.
We should both encourage ppl to vote to their closest alignment, and encourage politicians to improve alignment.
The 2024 leftist tantrum depressed turnout
English

@ArielGonzalez_1 @mehdirhasan Are you kidding? They STILL don’t accept any responsibility for giving us Bush. They will never get it.
English

@ArielGonzalez_1 @mehdirhasan In what universe is "literally no possible voter breaking from Democrats" a realistic outcome?
People to the left of your party exist, and if you're not going to try to get us to vote for you, you need to make up the difference in moderate Republican suburban Panera dads or w/e
English

@mehdirhasan Speaking of lessons: I thought chronically dissatisfied leftists learned not to throw elections after 2000, when they helped Bush by voting for
Nader. Guess not. In 2016 you did it again. If every Jill Stein voter in MI, WI & PA had gone to Clinton, Trump would be a footnote.
English

@trouble_man90 Trump won a primary
Harris hasn't even made it to the starting line
English

If trump can lose as THE SITTING INCUMBENT PRESIDENT in 2020 and come back and win, then Kamala can run again after only having 107 days.
kristina.@cosmepolitics
SHE LOST TO TRUMP. You cannot run for election again thinking you will win this time when you lost.
English

@DmocracyDeficit @DisinfoIsBad Handing the issue to the GOP was one of many ways Biden didn't exactly set Harris up for success, but her lack of guts and political intuition prevented her from using the window she had better
Really a perfect confluence of their respective deficiencies
English

@DmocracyDeficit @DisinfoIsBad Well, at least you'll admit they did in fact do the thing OP seems intent on denying ever happened
I think Biden adopting that strategy in the first place was suicidally stupid, but breaking with him in any visible way almost certainly would have helped her in and of itself
English
