Unpopular doesn't begin to explain who detestable kamala is to anyone without tiktok Even the centrists and neoliberals don't like her
Funny, the polls contradict you.
Are you lost?
Ok, give us your oh so special opinion then. And what state is programming us? And have you not been paying attention, we've been making fun a kamala since before 2020 lmao
projection levels off the charts, you're still the one supporting a genocide because it's a blue genocide
Fuckin' SAVED
If it's any comfort the hate for her isn't new here, she just didn't come up much because she's basically been a ghost for the past four years
Exactly. There was plenty of posting about just how bad she was in 2019/20 but VP is not a position where you get to exercise a lot of power so why even talk about her, there's no new news.
All these articles were compiled and linked years ago: https://dessalines.github.io/essays/socialism_faq.html#kamala-harris
But now that she's up for election, saying she's unlikable or her record despicable, is just "hatred" and "interesting" timing, apparently... No motherfucker, we've been here the whole time saying the same shit. She sucks, she always did, Khive twitter posting was at least funny but it was just a sideshow because she ran a terrible campaign. But now she stands to take power and attempt to be girlboss obama (neoliberal who does shitty things but tries to have a veneer of progressivism or whatever) except without the charisma, so of course now we're talking about her more than 6 months ago...
It's open seasons for hog hunting until 6pm EST before I clean up. Folks have fun!
It's 6pm btw
So it is, and thus thud the hammer falls
No, you just haven't been paying attention to this side until a couple days ago. We've hated her longer than you've known who she is.
lmfao
r/neoliberal was saying shit like "any dem could beat trump in a landslide besides biden or kamala" like last week. Even in that incredibly liberal space, almost nobody there was interested in her being the candidate, they were split between riding with biden and pulling in someone more compelling than kamala. Looking at the top replies to the r/politics megathread in the aftermath of Biden dropping out and endorsing kamala is similar, mostly people saying "Anyone but biden or trump is fine, I'll vote for kamala if it's her" but nobody saying "fuck yeah it's Kamala time!" or anything remotely resembling "liking her"
So I don't see it as hatred and vitriol so much as just rightful condemnation, and acknowledging that even people who aren't left wing radicals also don't find her remotely inspiring. Her record speaks for itself, she sucks.
what side would that be, politics understander?
Oh shit! ~~7 minutes~~ 8 minutes left! I need to say something!
