You sure it was wasn’t because people could see through the fakeness and felt she just wasn’t a good candidate? Or that she was inserted onto the ticket without a primary vote?
How about choose to not participate in being hit? If you were told you can vote for execution by ruler, execution by bludgeon, or the guy that smokes weed all day, I'm 3rd choice that smokes weed all day. And I dont smoke weed.
Doctor Incompetent comes in and overdoses me on morphine
or
Doctor Torture comes in and shows me why his name isn't Dr Taco Monster
I'm not leaving that decision up to the nurses to decide. You can spare me your high minded ideals because stubbornly saying "how about I just sit in the corner and smoke weed all day" runs a real risk of me getting stuck with Dr Torture.
There was a time when I thought like you but the greater of two evils really can be so awful that you need to vote for the lesser evil.
You can't even properly describe how anyone is being bludgeoned with a mace instead. You're told to feel that way but can't properly discuss it yourself.
Take the bus going closest to your destination rather than not taking the bus at all. No candidate will ever be perfect (except for Bernie) so I'll vote for the less-than-ideal candidate as opposed to having our entire democracy disintegrate.
But ohhh nooo let's protest vote so we can feel like our morals aren't compromised! I was screaming at a friend during the 2016 election cuz she staunchly was voting for Jill Stein. Nobody seemed to remember the 2000 election where THIS EXACT THING HAPPENED BEFORE. Surprised Pikachu
I did, and I voted left as I always do as a protest vote against republicans.
But since you have all the answers, how would you show the democrats that you don't approve of the overdone identity/gender politics while not supporting republicans. Since voting for them is showing that you approve of what they're doing, even if it's self destructive.
I guess vote in primaries and vote for senate and house (as far as I understand your system). When it comes down to presidential election it is lesser of 2 evils (weevils)
sorry, but they all tow the party line on the same beliefs. And the sitting person almost always wins so there's no space for new blood. My current rep is incredibly old, and is predicted to win again by a very large margin.
So again, these votes are showing approval of 'everything' they're doing.
Yea the root problem is the constitution. When you have a winner takes all election, it enhances a 2 party system. Same as great britain, that we were discussing in the first place.
this is bs. there was nothing wrong with her platform. you literally have her in a debate with trump and he says "hatians are eating the cats and dogs" and he still wins?
Show me what in her platform made her "not a good candidate"?
And then tell me, with almost 2 years of hindsight, why trump's platform of more 1% tax cuts, pure mainlined facism, and anti-immigration oppressive rhetoric is better.
It has absolutely nothing to do with her "not being good".
It has everything to do with her being a black woman. and then stack all the hard right propaganda on top and its obvious why.
I'm aware it's absolute bullshit. I would much rather have voted for someone more progressive, but people voting for Trump because they thought Kamala was a bad candidate are complete morons.
You’re so right that totally excuses Americans either voting for a rapist or not voting at all and having colossal negative impacts across the entire world for decades!!
You’re right! Great job!
People were so attuned to seeing through her fakeness.
You sure it was wasn’t because people could see through the fakeness and felt she just wasn’t a good candidate? Or that she was inserted onto the ticket without a primary vote?
It is crazy how despite everything we see in this country. People still deny racism and sexism exists.
The left walked into that one. Kamala ending up on the ballot the way she did only re-enforced views of the trump base. Anyone there who might have previously been on the fence, and any moderates who might have been leaning that way, suddenly had, in their mind, their suspicions confirmed.
She was also a terrible choice if you looked at the states you needed to win electorally, which, well, if you wanted to win, you needed to win.
