    “Unproven Track Record”

    meanwhile the proven track record is full of stuff like voting to invade Afghanistan and renewing the PATRIOT act

      Yawn. How’s things working out for ya? Better than if Harris won? Please, illustrate the differences that have made things better for everyone. I’d love to see this in writing.

        Yeah easy to say in hindsight. Many people didn’t want to vote for genocide and a shit candidate didnt help either. Instead of being mad at others you should be mad at the powers at be and the party that continuously betrays and gaslights you into thinking they’re the good guys.

        Well, the democrats enamored themselves to the public so hard, they lost every swing state and the popular vote went to a republican for the first time in the 21st century.

        Don’t worry, though, I hear they have a bold new strategy! They’re gonna try chasing “moderate” republican voters and giving up on abortion rights.

          As I expected, you didn’t bother to answer my question, and instead, chose random rhetoric as a response.

          Now, try again.

            Easier to run counterfactuals and re-litigate the past than to actually address the current strategy the Democrats are adopting, isn’t it?

            If you want an answer: Kamala would have been better domestically, though like the Obama and Biden administrations before her, she likely would have further expanded ICE; still leaving its abuses available for whenever the next Republican administration took office.

            And she wouldn’t break with the Republican-Democrat foreign policy consensus. Maybe she would have been better at forcing Israel into a ceasefire… though, Harris was already part of the Biden admin, so there is clearly some level of complicity in genocide she finds tolerable.
