Not as reckless as her decision to support arming Israel

[–] CmdrShepard49@sh.itjust.works 24 points 1 week ago

Or attacking immigrants, attacking the poor, supporting corrupt law enforcement, defending the status quo, or chumming with the Cheneys.

Got to love the political post failure book industry

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago (2 children)

At least she finally got it right. I'll be happy when we stop paying attention to her and she is a weird footnote in history. Dropped out before the primaries even started, but ended up a presidential candidate. What a farce.

[–] CmdrShepard49@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

At least she finally got it right.

Not really.

But the former vice president defended the former president's ability to do his job while criticizing those close to him for unflattering media coverage.

She still claims Biden was fit for the job and that it's journalists fault for not "flattering him" enough in the news. Basically she thinks they lost because there wasn't enough positive propaganda circulating around in typical status quo liberal fashion. Everything is always about optics and never about actual substance.

Dang, you're right. I was just making a comment based on the headline. The headline part is correct, but then she immediately undermines herself by saying he was fit for the job... Big oof.

If you can't get it right on a time line that matters, get the fuck out of my DM's

Also undemocratic...

But Kamala never would have gotten a shot in a democratic system either.

[–] DontRedditMyLemmy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Interesting the way you phrased that today

If you are leaving your choice to run for president to another, I highly doubt your own leadership capabilities.

[–] Marshezezz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 week ago

Of course she’s going to use it to make more money

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Man.. Yall remember when lemmy was being used as a controlled opposition narrational echo chamber for this failure of a candidate?

When posting anything showing that Harris was making bad decisions would result in bans?

Fucking amazing how those power posters disappeared like farts in the wind.

[–] WompWomp@lemmy.cafe 6 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Yep! When I used my world account I would constantly see users like FlyingSquid, PugJesus, a few admins, etc. post propaganda and dog pile any dissenters.

The few times I posted long comments with sufficient data as a backup, I was called a Russia shill, tankie, or a secret MAGA plant.

Now the few stragglers remaining still try to white wash their fuck ups and claim they're leftists and whatnot. All of them just became the embodiment of Blue MAGA

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

FlyingSquid was/ is one of the worst. They would regularly flame out, accuse some one of antisemitism (literally, like almost every time), then ban the counter party. Its why c/PoliticalMemes and c/World are such insufferable echo chambers.

[–] mlg@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

FlyingSquid and PugJesus posted non stop slop about the campaign constantly, it almost felt like reddit again.

Never got banned from world, but man did I spend a solid day going around to all of these shill posters saying "I told you so" after calling out dems losing easily a year in advance.
