Color me surprised that the Democrats have as much blame for our current situation as the Republicans. Nobody, NOBODY, wanted to return to normal; they wanted real change and the best they got was state-sponsored financing for tech companies and unequal economic policies
I am pretty sick of the Democrats bullshit, but I’m even more sick of the Republicans bullshit.
I hate it here.
Libs be libbing
Wow, so if true this implies that in the Democratic party even the women running for president has to do what the big man says. Hope this is false.
It's definitely not false, it's the playbook all of the political giants have been running for very many years now.
My god! You mean they attached a bomb collar around her neck and said if she didn't comply they would detonate it?
Wait, they didn't do anything of the sort? Well, sounds like they didn't force her to do anything and the only thing stopping her from speaking out was her own spineless cowardice.
"Leadership"
Or else what? Withdraw the nomination? (You can't withdraw a nomination lol)
Harris chose this
Oh? Pulling a “Republican”? My wife made me do it? Wasn’t my fault? Attempting to distance herself so she can make a run for office again.
Yeah, seriously. She's an adult. She could have just said "Thanks Joe, now go away." What could he have done? Fired her?
Hillary was going to continue Obamas policies, more or less. its purely sexism why both female candidates never won, sprinkled a little racism.
Or, only people with certain beliefs have the backing/money to get to the top of a US political party.
They didn't win because their policies don't reflect the worker base.
Let's blame Joe so Kamala can run again.
Not fooling me, DNC. I smell what you're cooking.
She is her own person and has to live with the consequences of her choices like everybody else. It's all in the past now and just a footnote in history.
She was elected, not appointed. She could say and do what she wanted and theres not much Biden could have done about it.
To be honest, this is just a signal that she probably wouldn't have been a good leader. Better than Trump, sure, but that bar is so low it's a tripping hazard.
She should have told Biden to pound sand after locking up the nomination.
But we should verify the claim before passing judgement.
Honestly this behavior is going to keep getting highlighted from Biden because he was an absolute stubborn idiot. He had polling showing him losing to Trump with over 400 electoral votes for MONTHS before dropping out. He blamed his family for staying in as long as he did, obviously it was him or what was left of him.
History will not look kindly on Biden for fucking over his one job of stopping Trump. Didn't arrest him, didn't defeat him, didn't stop most of the Jan 6 protestors, didn't go after the enablers of his actions, didn't really stop anything Trump did to avoid debt and jail and we ended up with him for Round 2, Even Worse This Time.
100% agreement. He should have arrested Agent Krasnov and his henchmen on the first day of his presidency, and detained them in isolation without bail or access to the media, until their trials were resolved. If he had done that, Krasnov and his Gang would be in prison right now, instead of the White House.
Instead Biden appointed a weakass Republican as his AG who gave him a 2 year head start to run out the clock.
The Dems had the perfect chance to defend our country from the MAGA scourge, but they totally abdicated their responsibility. It will be 100 times harder to take it back now, and I don't see it happening without violence.
If anyone wants some good rage material, watch the Pod Save America interview with Harris staffers
It's ridiculous to think that Harris couldn't have done what she wanted. Once you're named the nominee, that's it. They're not going to back out.
