    I sure hope the administration listens to the courts. 🤞

    I’m also very happy for all the “uncommitted” who wouldn’t hold their nose and vote for Harris. Was it worth it? Did you get anything out of your pyrrhic victory?

      Every time someone points out that we have what we have because people couldn’t be bothered to show up to vote (there’s even some proof!), they always always come out to downvote and try to say that Dems didn’t personally roll out a red carpet for them to wine and dine them.

      It’d be funny if Kamala had won, but with the reality they allowed, it’s quite sad and very embarrassing. Total delusional mentality.

      P.S. I know that dems suck, and have been sucking. The choice was HITLER/PUTIN wannabe, or samey samey, with a little sprinkle of better plans than Biden. She even had a website that outlined what her goals were. While Trump, again, just blathered and drooled onto his podium.

      Fools, the ones who allowed us here, but fools are hard to get looking at the bigger picture.

        Translation: the Democratic Party wouldn’t adopt leftist policy necessary to win.

          yawns

          And now you definitely won’t be getting any left leaning policy for quite a long time. That plan worked out very well, didn’t it?! Now people are getting sent to death camps left and right, your food will now be poisoned, the air you breathe will now be poisoned, the rich are getting yet another tax break under orange mussolini, and here you people are, still trying to make yourselves feel better for a dumbass decision. It would be impressive, if not for the reality of the situation being because of dumbasses who couldn’t be bothered to vote, I ALSO have to suffer. So, to anyone who didn’t vote, voted for Trump, or voted for third party (heard anything from Jill Stein, yet? LOL), I give a hearty

          FUCK. YOU.

      Good god, can we focus on the situation in front of us?

      I voted for Harris even though she wasn’t my preferred candidate, and many others did too. The much more significant problem would be people who voted for Trump, or didn’t vote at all. Bashing uncommitted voters doesn’t improve our situation.

      If the administration doesn’t obey the courts we all need to be prepared to take more extreme measures.

          I voted for Harris, but she did a fuck of a lot trying to convince me not to.

          “I arrested people for smoking pot” “I’m an ex cop” “No, I’m not going to do much about the genocide.” “Here’s Liz Cheney” “Trans rights aren’t important.”

          It’s not really a fucking mystery why she lost.

              I literally posted a list of reasons why people didn’t vote for Harris.

              Running on “I’m not Trump” while also campaigning on a moderate Republican platform, is why she lost. If the election was so important, why didn’t she run on electable, popular policies?

              It’s the DNCs own fault for failing to put out a candidate or campaign that could beat donald trump, world renowned loser and hitler wannabe.

                Uh huh. Which of those were “she wants to be a dictator”? Because that’s what she was literally running against. And that’s what people didn’t fight hard enough against.

          How’s your vote working out for you?

          If sitting idly by while fascism takes over is such a crime then why aren’t you holding to task the actual elected representatives from the DNC who not only allow Trump to do whatever he wants but also vote along with Republicans to ensure their bills are passed?

          Your argument is akin to those who claim regular people receiving welfare are responsible for all our government’s debt while giving a pass to all the wealthy individuals raiding our government coffers. It’s complete nonsense.

            why aren’t you holding to task the actual elected representatives from the DNC

            Why do you assume they aren’t? It is possible to voice dissatisfaction to the DNC for their failings and also voice dissatisfaction to non-voters for theirs. I don’t know where this idea comes from that a person can only do one political thing ever. It is very possible to do multiple things.

              Because they’re bending over backward to “white knight” for the Dems and shield them from any criticism here in the comments. They’re no different than the MAGA sycophants.

                Are they? It certainly looks a lot more like they’re just refusing to white knight the people who were bending over backwards to boycott the Dems in the face of actual fascism. That’s not sycophancy, that’s fighting against the “leftists” who poison praxis with vain ideology. A noble contribution to the leftist cause.

                  You were voting for fascism with either one of these candidates. The Dems lost because they’re just watered down MAGA at this point, which appeals to no one. They ran yet another shit campaign with a shitty candidate and got Trump elected again, almost as if that was their intent all along, but maybe it’s because Harris didn’t parade around with the Cheneys enough.

                  You can’t even make a defense for the Dems here other than “they’re not Republicans,” so maybe you should point that anger toward the very people running the party and making the decisions that make them less appealing than an elderly reality TV host and not at the people who are sick of their shit.

            Not great - a bunch of morons either didn’t vote or voted for an authoritarian.
