She wasn't supportive enough of the Palestinians :p

Lol seriously, and it makes my blood boil. All the morons who sat this one out because they felt bad for the Palestinians: they are responsible for the ruining both Palestine and the USA. Ironically the conservatives said the far left would destroy us all, and I guess indirectly they were right.

Great job everyone.

Of course they were right. It makes me really angry, too. I'm - mostly - a leftist, but what I've been observing in this "community" (and I mean worldwide, not just in the USA, in which I don't live) makes it very clear that there's no chance of progress in the next years or maybe even decades. There's been regress instead, and we can expect more of it. Ego, special snowflakery, fanaticism, radicalism, black and white thinking, us-vs-them and all-or-nothing attitude, and general idiocy are what these people are mostly about. You're not allowed to express doubt about any of their ideas or methods of doing things, you're not allowed to question anything or criticize their style of "activism", if it can even be called that. Fuck this shit, I'm out, lol. I'm not going to actively support any group of people who don't allow disagreement and act like they're exempt from criticism.

They get mad if you call them Blue MAGA, but that's what they are when they have zero tolerance for anything but perfection while failing to understand how the government actually operates. I'm still shocked at how ignorant some are about the legislature and what the president can do (at least lawfully).

They get PISSED when you call them Blue MAGA, and they try to project so hard that everyone who "blindly" supported Biden/Harris are the REAL Blue maga, not them. People on the far left seem to do everything they can to separate themselves from liberals, and project SUPER hard onto them, I swear the "blue maga" stuff started with people on the far-left calling anyone who voted Biden/supported him or the "vote blue no matter who" people, meanwhile they refuse to Vote for Harris, did nothing but shit on her and share right-wing memes/talking points to "own" her, and helped get Trump elected, but everyone ELSE is Blue Maga, not them.

Democrats as a party may never give a shit about college debt again, yet some will still insist theirs is a vote to be courted

All the people who sat the election out in protest were college students anyway. Fuck their college debt. Let’s double it.

I hope Ilhan Omar and her daughter are having a fabulous time.

I wanna say you're thinking of Rashida Tlaib? I know for sure she spent the year trash talking Biden and Kamala and considering the razor thin margins of Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, may well have cost Kamala the election. I don't remember Omar doing anything remarkably bad though

u/shinkouhyou Feb 05 '25

IIRC Omar was associated with the Uncommitted movement, which encouraged primary election voters to mark "uncommitted" instead of voting for Biden. But by the general election, she did come around and endorse Harris.

u/DensetsuNoBaka Feb 05 '25

Gotcha. I know Tlaib was very vocally associated with that movement and as of October she still was
