    at the end of the day Democrats had their check writers to think about which is why they intentionally lost

    Harris consistently had wins handed to her on gold platters and Harris repeatedly stuck her nose up at the platters

    Democrats are not the party of the people or progressives but just Republicans with different coat colors on getting checks from the same places

      You have two choices for ship’s captain.

      One wants to paint the interior a color you hate. Like, it’s the worst color you’ve ever seen. And she won’t even listen to you about changing it.

      The other wants to run the ship into an iceberg.

      Hope you brought a life jacket.

        That analogy is very flawed and, within the context of Arab voters, crosses the realm of “insensitive” and well into “fucking stupid” territory.

        I’ll start with the “very flawed” part. Harris didn’t promise to “paint the interior an ugly color”, she promised to sit and watch while the ship slowly sunk and maybe open a few small holes. She promised stagnation and yet more rightward shifting to people who are being driven closer and closer to poverty every day. Sure, she was better than Trump, but she still had massive policy and attitude flaws that can’t be called “painting the interior a bad color”.

        Now for the “fucking stupid” part: Harris was promising to do exactly the same things Biden was doing in Palestine. She promised that and still expected—or thought she could do without—Arab votes. Votes from people who were losing loved ones and attending funerals because of the policy she completely unapologetically promised to continue. Comparing killing her voters’ families to “painting the ship a bad color” is, as I said above, fucking stupid.

          That analogy is very flawed

          two choices

          Nope. Binary race. No other contender has a chance.

          promised to sit and watch

          Binary race. Pick between the two.

          she was better than Trump

          Ah! So you get it.

          Harris was promising to do exactly the same things Biden was doing in Palestine

          Ah! So between the two, neither offers a better plan for meddling in another country’s politics. It’s a tough thing when neither choice for America happens to support that one other country. It’s also then not a discerning factor then, in a binary race, when determining the best of two options.

          If you don’t choose, you need to accept what comes down to a coin flip.

            These people are seriously throwing a tantrum because Arab voters didn’t vote for their friends and family to be murdered. This is insane.

            People were making this argument every day before the election and it didn’t work.

            Trump was always worse. But Harris still had to win people’s votes. If this argument worked we would have had Hilary in 2016.

            You need to actually have something to offer beyond the other side being worse.

          Allowing Trump to win was “fucking stupid” for anyone that actually cares about this genocide. Accelerating everything for innocent people from the comfort of your western home - all that matters is your virtue signaling.

          If this was a race (which it might me given the state of AI and mass surveillance) you would all immediately smash into a wall thinking the shortest distance is fastest ignoring the reality of the track in front of you. Geopolitics is real.

          What, you’re going to murder someone in an act of pointless violence? Great call.

          Maybe you hear it all the time because it’s the reality. You can just bury your head in the sand harder I guess, that’s an option.

          You already have. Mostly in the “people regret their obviously stupid decision” category.
