Once the honeymoon ends on Harris and the vibes die down around girlbossing people are going to be left with a means-testing cop who's more than happy to continue bombing Gaza.
Do dummies actually think she's more "radical" than Biden? Maybe if we beg madam hard enough she'll give us healthcare!
They only need to gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss the public for three more months. I could see them just riding the wave of letting people project their ideals onto her.
Of course that means it’s her election to lose, just like Hillary. So I’m trying not to underestimate her ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
Man, so if she wins we watch all the libs deride the left to 'give her time to change policy direction' from brunch her entire first term... or if Trump wins we get to watch them rediscover all the Biden policies they forgot they hated and have em blame the left for not turning out to fix them...hmm I can't decide which libererun i'd rather see.
Its infuriating seeing people who should know better act like she's anything other than what we already know she is! Harris isn't an unknown quantity. We already know she is like every other neoliberal that ran in 2020, except she was even worse at running a campaign than any of them but Beto lol.
She's a complete ghoul and radlibs are pretending she might not do genocide because...? Vibes?
The year is 2032, at the end of the second Harris/Walz administration.
A new Hexbear user made a post:
“Thank goodness I found this site! I feel like I have been losing my mind with everyone telling me that Tim Walz has been the face of Progressive Democrats since 2016!
I swear it was Bernie Sanders who mounted a primary opposition against Hillary in 2016, not Walz. People keep telling me it’s the Mandela effect, somehow I misremembered. But I distinctly remember donating to Bernie’s and AOC’s campaigns back then. But now even President-elect AOC, whom I remember came out of the Bernie movement, is telling us that Tim Walz was the one who inspired her to start a political career to fight for the people.
Am I losing my mind here?!! This is the only site that still talks about Bernie, everywhere else I go I feel like I’m being gaslit.
I swear that Tim Walz is the Bernie skinwalker! We have to rise up, Bernie truthers! We have to fight back the misinformation of the mainstream media propaganda! Kamala and Tim, WHERE IS BERNIE??”
something about the sheer force of the hopium makes me think she's going to explode into a fireball in the general. this is going way too smoothly for the democrats not to find a way to fuck it up.
Only people on this site would get me when I say I’m utterly baffled how I’m watching the exact same force that “organically” coalesced to endorse Biden in 2020 when was about to run away with it. Not like he would’ve done anything, but think about how much of a threat a negligible tax increase posed.
Absolutely terrifying how organized the bourgeois are. How do people not recognize that they’re just as subservient to US capital as the people of the CPP are to socialist characteristics
They don’t care about Gaza. They don’t care whether or not she’s radical. They just say she is to piss you off. At the end of the day, Harris is in her white house. All is right with the world.
It seems like the media blob has decided to remove the mandate of heaven from Trump and give it to Harris. She has managed to stay untainted by Genocide Joe's regime and now she has the advantage of being seen as a blank slate that people can project whatever they want on.
If he campaign is smart and let her say as little as possible, she can probably keep the show going long enough to win.
Once in office things will be different as nothing will fundamentally change and the decay will continue, paving the way for whatever the next iteration of American fascism is going to look like.
It could very well be another Obama where people find excuses to handwave the disappointment. At the same time, Kamala is a charisma sink compared to Obama.
I've had a lot of people in my life ask what I thought about Harris. I think people want to feel optimistic, and the idea that a person "from" a marginalized group could be in power provides that hope. Yes I know idpol. But most don't.
All we can do is the same we can always do: be informed, and patient with people. Ask probing questions to get people thinking. Most of our opinions are from feeling/imposed ideology, so engaging with ideas (What do you think Kamala will do that will be so good? What makes you think that? Etc.) can force people out of that state and get them to actually consider why. Saying she's a dirty capitalist cop that should face the wall probably won't help lol.
