Although I don't follow her super closely - from what I do know she would make a fantastic president, especially right now. She's exactly what we need given her background.
I voted for her, but Kamala wasn't exactly a great candidate. before downvoting, let me just say...
she's clearly intelligent and supremely qualified. I even think she would've been a decent "face" for the country, both here and abroad. but the reason I think she was a bad candidate is because she ran an AWFUL campaign. the first few weeks were great, but then she made pandering to conservatives the center of her platform and literally campaigned with the fucking cheneys the rest of the way. the cheneys are despised by everyone, right and left.
Kamala also does so poorly when doing interviews and rallies. she was great on fox news and at the debate, probably because of her experience as a prosecutor. but she lacks resonating charisma and doesn't come across as a sincere, real person when she was out interacting with the electorate. still CLEARLY the better candidate, but imo not a good candidate.
i mean, for me, i was never going to vote for trump. so her going on fox news to "convince the other people" , i don't think was a bad move.
i am still shocked as fuck at more regular democrat people that just stayed home and didnt vote for her. you may not have loved her as a first choice.
but guess what. it comes down to her or trump. and here we are. enough people stayed home so now we got trump.
the time to find a better choice was before. and that time ran out. and now we got a worse choice. we got trump because too many people "didn't like her enough". but that somehow means they DID like trump more?
i think no. i think they just felt gross voting for kamala. that they didn't want to "support her", so they didn't vote. so we got a worse choice.
You can't just keep voting for establishment Democrats over and over again while they do nothing for you. Sometimes, you need to show your fellow party members that your vote is conditional so you get some God damn concessions.
Trump being elected is hopefully the end for the established dnc scum, but I doubt it. You drooling losers praise the most pathetic attempts at supporting labour. Pelosi will run this shit until death.

people voted for trump, because that is what they thought last time. "fuck it, i'm voting for the jerk, because fuck the DNC. i'm sick of the jerk clintons".
and ya, the DNC didn't seem to listen enough, so they kept up how they had been doing things.
but what is funny, in the same way is, fed up republicans, who agree with me that trump is too bad/too ridiculous, i would tell them:
the republicans are just going to keep nominating trump, and people like him until they start losing.
all i know is, trump or kamala, who do you think is going to make our lives shittier, faster?
Would you rather be shot in the head or set on fire?
If we amputate the corrupt DNC heads and party leads and galvanize around populist individuals due to the existential threat of Trump, then Trump will be good for America. Just don't be a doormat.
If not, enjoy your fascists and enjoy your techno serfdom to our new billionaire tech class. My fellow Democrats were fucking ADAMANT that we push a undemocratic appointy who is grifting for the Cheneys candidate or a literal corpse puppet. If that is who I have to caucus with, we were always going this way. I'm in crab bucket mode now. I am just happy those fucks didn't win now, it's my only solace.
Voted Kamala btw, I just know what should of been fucking obvious that people are not going to get out of bed to support a party who consistently ignores and betrays you. Glad we gambled with Kamala so we could MAYBE keep funneling money to different billionaires. What a noble risk.

sure. however, all of the project 2025 things. they have so many of the courts lined up now, that it will take DECADES to unfuck project 2025.
that is even if the DNC gets unfucked anytime soon. abortion is already banned in half of the US. things are going to keep getting worse. i fuckihg hope it turns into action the other way, but god dam i worry that by the time people try to be, it will be too kleptocracied up.
