You think the Dems who are not doing shit now would have somehow prevented this? They're complacent. Politician's aren't owed your vote just because the other guy is worse, thats not democracy. Politicians need to earn your vote, and not one pesidential candidate has in a decades.
This is where we've been heading for over 4 decades, with no opposition. There was no magic choice that would have prevented this, or possibly even just slow it. Dems at best would just slow the pace a little, but never stop it. Best they can say is that we need "unity" despite the fact that you can't do a "middle ground" with people who want you wiped out. Kamala would have capitulated to the trump party's demands as she was already doing with her rhetoric while the genocide continued because "she's speaking". The Democratic party and Kamala failed the people, not the other way around. Sooner you realize that, the sooner you can see who your real enemies are.
Could the Dems have prevented a second trump presidency if you had voted for Harris? Yes I believe that.
Fact is you guys bitched about Biden and so you got an educated black lady instead and you guys were still like “no not that!” The American left splintered and imploded and nobody was left enough for anyone else. If you were even slightly right or even left of someone you got called a fascist. You guys rejected allies at every turn. Meanwhile the right united, played you guys and ate your lunch.
The rest of us around the world are rightfully pissed off at you cretins who even now still pretend like there’s no difference between Trump and Harris
