    Sounds like they are trying to shift blame, again. We knew exactly who she was and knew she can’t be trusted with our support.

        You have to understand, the people who constantly attacked Harris before the election now have to figure out some way to make her just as bad as Trump, to excuse their own behavior. Is it disgusting? Yes. Is it reprehensible? Yes. Is it absolutely predictable as a means of trying to escape responsibility for the rancid shit hurricane that will be Trump Part 2? Yes.

          Yeah I’ve been seeing the exact same thing, and I think it will be interesting to see them gradually unravel in the coming months.

          You can see that all of the astroturfing, bot accounts vanished after Election Day, and all of the useful idiots are left to try to fight the cognitive dissonance they’re feeling after seeing the immediate insanity of Trump since winning.

          Unfortunately, if they actually are progressives, they will likely have a much harder time ignoring the cognitive dissonance than conservatives (who seem to excel at that ability). They’re in for some real psychic pain when they witness Trump’s actions in Palestine.

            “those leftist rubes not voting for my party, well jokes on them cause I just imagined the other guys doing worse”

            I’m not looking forward to Trump, but this is the path the Democrats paved by their own actions. Blaming the voters is not a real strategy for anything other than nursing bruised ego.

      We also knew exactly who Trump is. We have a very long history.

      I particularly love stuff about him before he was in politics, like the Motley Fool podcast on how he duped public investors for his private company through pumping up real estate values. They went to his office, saw this weird array of gaudy decoration and oddly attractive employees, sat down with him, and saw through his lie. Then made the only short in their firm’s entire history… and it paid off.

      There’s no excuse of bias. You can’t blame any politicians. It’s just him. And while not perfect by any means, you have to squint hard to see Kamala in the same light.

        Why is the default argument from liberals always ‘but Trump?’ Harris would have been a shit candidate not worthy of being elected regardless of who her opponent was.

          Harris was going to raise taxes on billionaires and corporations. Why the fuck would you NOT vote for that?

            And if she said that she was going to give everybody rainbows and lollipops you would believe that you were going to get a rainbow and lollipop.

              False analogy. Clinton, Obama, and Biden – all 3 of the last Dem presidents – kept their promises to raise taxes on the wealthy and/or corporations.

              Realty matters.
