I have no fucking idea for who this propaganda is. Like, Kamala wants the Republican vote, wtf is this

[-] hypercracker@hexbear.net 47 points 3 days ago

They’ve started huffing their own farts and think they’ve achieved Total Liberal Consensus

Blue MAGA scratched liberals that want to see retributive bloodshed and slaughter... on CNN, before their morning wine. maybe-later-honey

[-] gon@lemm.ee 26 points 3 days ago

I assume the idea is that there's a lot of republicans that dislike Trump but still feel a deep attachment to him via their allegiance to the Republic Party, so she's running on a platform that these republicans can cling to so as to simultaneously vote against Trump but within their perceived moral obligations to the party.

Hopefully that made sense, it was clearer in my head.

No, you're right, that's exactly what they think. The issue is that those people largely don't exist; they tried it with Biden in 2020 and it was still extremely close.

[-] FloridaBoi@hexbear.net 23 points 3 days ago

I feel like I saw this happen in real time 4 years ago when Bernie dropped out and all of the ads were targeted at so-called “Reagan republicans.” The Dems outside of like GA courted suburban whites with their “law and order” and the adults are back in the room rhetoric

They are trying to win little saint james electoral votes

because of the democrat's entrenched interests with arms dealers, tech monopolies, neocolonial hedge funds and asset firms, and billionaires like Soros and Buffet and their companies, big banks (Citigroup hand-picked Obama's cabinet and influenced his Fed choice of one of their executives who also oversaw Israel's central bank; him bailing the banks out was not an anomoly), etc. they are structurally incapable of reorienting to the left to capture any of the (growing and increasingly impoverished) working and lumpen voters on the left, so have to fight over the (ever shrinking and rightward-moving under crisis) bourgeois and petty bourgeois voterbase with the Republicans. Who would vote for their wallets (tax cuts deregulation etc) before caring about any of the surface level social issues the democrats pretend to care about (and pretend less and less)

It is their downfall. It is why we need to vote and agitate for and uplift the PSL (and even help Greens etc. who want the duopoly broken too and can be useful) and agitate to furthur rupture these intractable contradictions between the democrats' actual base and their interests and platform. The breakthrough is in the moribundity and redundancy of the democrat party compared to the republicans which is exposed by by starving them of the working class margins they need if they ever want power again and force them into untenable positions. Either the ruling class floats a progressive "labor" reformist party like the greens or another and breaks the democrats in half with half joining republicans outright and half flooding the reformist party in hedge-betting (alienating the reformists' left wing into socialist ranks); or they don't float a reformist party and coalition with the republicans like they seem to be doing and the left only grows exponentially because nobody in the broad working masses even had illusions about the republicans in the first place and parties like the PSL will have very little resistance to growing and rising by that point and risks for the ruling class allowing a dual power scenario to grow and take root. Either way this will all force an inward-facing and chaotic reorientation in the bourgeois politicians who have clearly forgotten how to play politics, in the face of a rising left, which only helps the victims of imperialism abroad and creates fertile ground for socialist growth in countless ways.

At this point it’s now that Dems have become the uniparty and the only alternative is the highly popular but somehow eviler opposition that thinks the uniparty should double down whenever its in doubt.

[-] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 3 days ago

They think they can make it so they're just the Dems, a party of Republicans and Democrats, then that crazy MAGA party with no power.

They're all about ignoring what the people want in favor of their donors

[-] the_itsb@hexbear.net 18 points 2 days ago

They are trying their hardest to throw this election

this was mostly a joke to me at first, but it is becoming increasingly less funny because it seems like neither side actually wants to win, which to me indicates something terrible is about to happen that neither of them wants to be in charge of

[-] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 2 days ago

Whomever wins will have to come into the resolution of Ukraine, Palestine, possible collapse or at least gaping hole in Bretton Woods system, decisions about wars with Iran and China etc. And there's no downside for losing, donations will still flow, support will still be strong, hell they might be even stronger as the losing party loudly blame winners for everything and mobilise donors, cultists and apathetics.

[-] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 7 points 2 days ago

They're planning war on China or Iran...so something along those lines coming into 2025-2028

[-] frauddogg@hexbear.net 7 points 2 days ago

Oh so it's time to start making actual defection plans in case of the former

[-] Philosoraptor@hexbear.net 33 points 2 days ago

Back in the summer I was really curious to see how they were going to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory this time. Good to know they've still got it.

[-] CredibleBattery@hexbear.net 40 points 3 days ago

i love(hate) the Kid-Killer Kamala campaign because every time their poll numbers go down they just go ''BIPARTISAN BIPARTISAN BIPARTISAN BIPARTISAN BIPARTISAN BIPARTISAN BIPARTISAN BIPARTISAN BIPARTISAN BIPARTISAN BIPARTISAN BIPARTISAN'' as if it was some sort of dark eldritch incantation

[-] PM_ME_YOUR_FOUCAULTS@hexbear.net 37 points 3 days ago

Strangely the numbers continue to go down

Kamala Harris is a troll candidate, change my mind.

This is the anglosphere, CHUDs are more loyal to the GOP (and fascism as a whole) than their own wives. Hilary lost on it, Biden barely won on it, but running on a platform prioritizing disgruntled republicans will usually fail.

I’m begging Dems to try to appeal to people who have been politically isolated. I challenge any one of them to get me to stop grilling for God’s sake!

[-] CthulhusIntern@hexbear.net 23 points 2 days ago

Oh no, they got this all wrong.

"Country over? Party!"

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 37 points 3 days ago

We must regenerate the nation and the volk.

[-] miz@hexbear.net 32 points 3 days ago

hell yeah, the country's so over

[-] AnarchoBolshevik@lemmygrad.ml 17 points 2 days ago

If by ‘country’ she means ‘white cishet capitalist men’ and by ‘party’ she means ‘the rest of humanity’, then this makes perfect sense.

It's much simpler, it's preparation to have republicans in government, she promised that few days ago and now they cooked catchy slogan for that.

[-] JohnBrownsDream@hexbear.net 22 points 2 days ago

Cool, thanks for permission to not vote Democrat

[-] Weedian@hexbear.net 15 points 2 days ago

america first for liberals
