Nah, her policy positions were good. She was on the right side of every issue with a reasonable plan to target it. There is no other president in recent history who is as progressive.

I find it werid that people will rate dems as if there is was a magical dem who would have been able to do everything.

We’re all just tired of being taken advantage of. Dems are weak with no spine/teeth, Republicans are selfish egotistical maniacs. Everyone out for themselves and will step on anyone they can to get what they want.

We just need people like Bernie who just wants to help pretty much everyone with healthcare, rights, etc. but the money from corruption is too good.

kamala was more biden. the same group of people that was around behind created the conditions for a kamala run to even be possible.

they had to pull some weird “democracy games” to even get her on the ballot. pretend like biden was gonna run so he automatically wins the primary and only then announce he’s gonna leave. really shows how far this democracy has fallen

as for kamala, biden’s immigration proposals were “compassionate approach” and “immigration reform”

if you went to her website and looked under immigration there was only “strong border” and “border security”

to be honest, i only wanted kamala to win because she was a woman and that woulda been cool. but the descent into fascism would not have been meaningfully slowed down, i think

Harris was 100% on the wrong side of the Gaza genocide and also not even a little bit economically progressive. That second part – the abject refusal to do meaningful things to help the working class – is how she lost to Trump. People were seduced by Trump’s dishonest and wrong, but easy, “scapegoat the minorities” answers to the question of how to restore prosperity.

  Trueee she should have thrown her support behind hamas. Try and compete with trump for the anti Semitic vote.
  
  Her platform of reducing the cost of even more prescription drugs, paid leave, more worker protections, more union protections, banning corporate price gouging, providing first home assistance and more would have absolutely wrecked the working class.
  
  These are reasonable policies thay would get through. Compared to a guy who has already stripped all of those using illegal power.
