    Before people start assigning blame, just pointing out that even if all independent votes magically counted for Kamala (ranked choice would be so cool…) it wouldn’t have changed the outcome at all

      Don’t worry, multiple RCV measures also failed because no matter how much people complain about the two-party system they’re also TOO FUCKING DUMB to understand how anything works or what to do about fixing it.

      She’s his colleague. Maybe even work wife, even if they’ve only spoken via teams telefax.

        No one is endorsing genocide. It’s a bit too late in the game to keep going with that nonsense.

          No one is endorsing genocide

          Both parties continue to defend the military operations in Gaza and Lebanon resulting in genocide.

            Oh well… Now Trump and Netanyahu are about to have their way with Gaza, so mission accomplished I guess?

            Personally I’m not gonna lose any sleep over Gaza or the stupid shitheads who thought it was a good idea to hold American democracy hostage over some shithole non-country run by inbred Islamic fundamentalists who worship yet another made up coo-coo abrahamic religion based on a genocidal pedophile “prophet”.

            Those people who chose to vote “uncommitted” were being honest; they’re uncommitted to democracy, human rights, secular society, personal liberty and justice. Thank Allah above that this election is over so I can stop pretending to give a damn. Fuck 'em.

              Netanyahu continues to have his way. Nothing has fundamentally changed.

              I’m not gonna lose any sleep over Gaza

              Crazy finding this out a day after Trump won in a landslide. Almost like this country is overflowing with fascists.

            Look up the definition of “endorse” and come back here with an example of Harris doing exactly that.

            …or stop with the false accusations.

              When republicans politicians say they oppose Trump but give him everything he wants, we look at actions not rhetoric. Harris is unwilling to say anything critical of Israel and unwilling to condition aid or withhold offensive weapons.

              The Inconvenient Truth of American foreign policy is going to get another 50k Palestinians killed this year, regardless of who wins.

                None of that looks like any viable proof or examples of an endorsement of genocide from Harris.

                Please check your facts and try again.

                  Is the continued multi-b/million dollar support of Israel not an endorsement?

                  these people have been far too kind to you. Its unfortunate that I do not enjoy being an asshole.

                  The Democratic party is currently right now sending Israel billions of dollara in weapons which they use to kill children daily. They are doing this right now and are fully committed to continuing to do so. This is endorsement of genocide. Kamala Harris is not just person with opnions running for president. She is representing the Democratic party and the intentions of that party. Genocide is not on the ballot and there are no significantly effective routes for you to affect whether or not this country continues to support genocide. How can this be? Who is responsible for this? Why did the Democratic party support so many clearly unpopular decisions? The Democrats endorsed genocide. Kamala endorsed genocide. It lost them the election. It is the party that has failed us, we have not failed it.

    It is not the candidate’s job to appeal to voters. The Democrats should just be owed votes from all non-MAGA, and they should never have to put forward any policies or effort for voters.

    Jill Stein loves Kamala. Nobody could wish for a better campaign plot than running against genocide.

    If the Greens win votes it was Kamala’s fault.
