Well, we did put him in jail, at least.

Although that gave him the time to start Mein Kamph.
Little known fact, his first biography centered on his chronic jock itch, but it was not popular: Mein Kamphor
Later he would write about how he didn’t stretch properly and his calf muscles would tighten up in Mein Krampf
Or his time in a little machine shop, doing assembly work, Mein Klamps.
There was also that time he didn’t check the expiration date on the milk and wrote, Mein Klumpfs.

We have an actual CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT (14A/Sec 3), that expressly prohibits anyone who participated in an Insurrection from holding elected office. Clearly HitlerPig fits that, but nobody in the Democratically- held Biden administration was bold enough to force compliance. If they had, like MANY Americans were calling for, MAGA would be totally out of power right now.

The Supreme Court ruled that the president is above the law during Biden’s term. It was entirely in his power to take enforcement action and let the courts sort it out later.

And you chose not to do enough when it mattered the most. Remember that.
And she continues to not do anything. I think the lesson here is that she would have made a bad president. Look at AOC, look at Bernie. But the d’s don’t want them (ie: Bernie 2016 and AOC not getting picked for a position that was given to a dude that just died)
Stop blaming the obvious (and admitted to) cheating on non-voters. Even if we all voted, he still would’ve won by a Starlink landslide.
Harris 2028, yall
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
They fear leftism (even if it is democratic, moderate, they even hate new deal capitalism designed to save them from themselves ffs) more than fascism, that’s the issue. Even most dems.
Why do you hate Bill Gates now? Hasn’t he been redistributing wealth properly?
You’re falling for his PR strategy, he’s not a good guy.
Why do you hate Bill Gates now?
Always have. This isn’t a new concept, and their
reputation launderingphilanthorpism does not come close to countering the harm they and their foundation are still doing.Hasn’t he been redistributing wealth properly?
For starters, holding around a hundred billion is hardly redistributing. That’s still hoarding.
I don’t have time right now to find that short-list of critiques @davel@lemmy.ml has, but in the mean time, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philanthrocapitalism is a good diving board, combined with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gates_Foundation#Criticism
It’s a nice gesture and better than nothing, but having been properly taxed, so governments could fund programs for their people would have been even better
So he has the same amount of wealth as the median person now?
Until he stops being rich he’s part of them
He said openly in the '90s that he wants “to own the entire world.” That clearly hasn’t changed.
Also, I’ve hated him since the '90s because of who he is.
Why do you hate Bill Gates now?
A lot of things, but I suppose being a partaker of the Slaaneshi Shenaniganstm at Epstein’s island could be pretty near the top.
mostly the sexual assault and antitrust practices

You do realize Australians can’t vote in the US election, right? Why the hell is she wasting time over here? We don’t want her.
No take-backsies, sorry.
If they won’t take back their Nazi propagandists they can at least have the decency to keep a centrist liberal

Hey, Harris: you are part of the problem. You are the controlled opposition. You lost the race. The DNC and Biden sure as fuck helped you lose, but at the end of the day, you lost. You sold us down the river and paved the way for the fascists to take over. How about sit down and shut the fuck up.
Yah it’s HER fault we didn’t vote for her…
She is absolutely culpable, though. She let the DNC and Biden kill any chance - and there was a real chance - of victory. She toed the party line, and she lost because of it.
Everyone who thought that had any equivalence to Trump is why we are here. Asinine.
yes. It absolutely is. FINALLY you get it.
deleted by creator
Yes. Exactly. Harris lost, and it is her fault, and her responsibility.
The average American is not a political expert. (Duh.) They rely on information, and persuasion, from the actual political experts, to decide whose policies fit their values and who their best choices as political representatives are.
If a political party has the best policies, but fails to make the case for those policies to the American people, the fault is not with the American people, but with the party that failed to make its case.
In this case, Trump waged a vicious propaganda campaign based on blatant fucking lies. And the Harris campaign was too incompetent or cowardly to effectively call out those blatant fucking lies - partially because Trump was so much better at social media than Harris, and partially because Harris was afraid to stand up for the trans people and immigrants and other marginalized groups Trump was attacking.
(Biden shit the bed so badly nobody in his administration could have won by running on his record, of course, but that doesn’t absolve Harris for her own failures.)
Any political party that starts blaming voters for not agreeing with it, instead of accepting its own responsibility to convince voters, is headed to permanent minority party status. And as happy as I’d be to see the Democrats permanently marginalize themselves and make room for an actual progressive party, right now they’re the only roadblock in Congress against Project 2025.
JFC quit blaming everyone else. This country is fucked because of this dumb shit. We, as a country, are at fault. Not Biden not Kamala, not even Donald. They only have influence because we voted for them.
Any argument against this is just cope.
No, it’s your fault for not voting for her.
She did campaign with a Cheney and refused to distance herself from Biden! What else do you fucking plebs want? Someone who actually seems to want to change things for the better?
Do you really think this party simply “shutting up” will help??
Yes. All they do is pacify the public by providing an illusion of fighting back. If they “simply” shut up, people might notice they actually did nothing more than talk.
They don’t even throw little bones here and there while making bigger concessions anymore. Bernie Sanders will spend 17 minutes describing the genocide in Gaza in grotesque detail and refuse to use that word, because there’s a line that must not be crossed when playing the part of fighting with the people, and you’ll get praised and declared the savior of the country.
They do nothing but say just enough to pacify you, to make you think someone is fighting on your behalf.
Sure, there are major problems with the Democratic Party, and their loyalty to the same special interests as the Republicans, but they will never win until the Party as a whole acknowledges that the BIGGEST factor in HitlerPig’s election was cheating by Skum, the Russians, and MAGA-led county election boards around the country.
The Dems could properly address EVERY issue they have, and they’d still lose, until they decide to grow some big brass balls and a stainless steel spine and confront the open treason and naked criminality of the MAGA Nazi Party, and the Conservative Propaganda Machine.
I guess my point is that it’s REALLY hard for me to see a difference between the Democratic Party and voting 3p, considering how ineffectual they are when they have power (especially under the circumstances), and how they keep electorally shitting the bed because they’re so fucking beholden to neoliberal corporatist idiocy - which, I must point out, is what makes them lose elections.
It’s not just Elon Musk, it’s people just like him (if more discrete) and the system that allowed them to get so absurdly wealthy and powerful, which Kamala Harris and her ilk have no intention of changing.
The d’s are standing on the sidelines watching it happen because they want this to happen.
Please please please dear democrats, as a European I’m begging you to select a candidate that can take it up with trump, doesn’t have dementia and I’m sorry to say that in your case it has to be male one. America just isn’t ready for a female president. Don’t fuck it up. Sincerely, a concerned European.
Two of the worst female politicians losing on uninspiring neoliberal campaigns is not an indication of whether a woman can win.
Best we can do is Gavin Newsom. Democratic leadership is brain dead ATM.
Fuck you. Gimme Pritzker. He’d mop the floor with anything the GOP puts up.
He’s a zionist.
Your saying this is a perfect demonstration of the centrist dems not learning anything from losing the last election. No more genocide = no more zionists. Either the dems kick AIPAC dominance out of the party or the democratic party ceases to exist. Thats the choice for centrists. The dems arent winning another election otherwise. They cant win without the left and the left wont accept genocide.We’ll ride this right into extinction if we have to. Try us.
He can probably win pretty easily. I’ll take it.
This isn’t the fucking time to let perfect be the enemy of good enough.
Newsome would absolutely lose.
He’s insufferable.
Newsom isn’t even liked in his home state. Republicans wont ever vote for a Democrat, and he’s had a long history of “Rules for thee, not for me.” Plus his mishandling of homeless issues, his platforming of right wing grifters on his podcast, and just general insufferable way of handling most issues is a turn off for anyone with compassion.
Newsom is good enough like Biden was good enough in 2020. Everyone is learning the wrong lessons.
He won in 2020.
Due to COVID and a mass push for mail-in voting. If COVID wasn’t a thing, Biden probably would have lost.
Which explains why Democratic leadership approved the GOP budget in the past: enabling Republicans to do their worse is their election strategy.
Maybe because Democrats get elected after Republicans mess up the economy, they want to enable their horrid polices as an attempt at an easy win.
Now that makes sense honestly. They can’t win with boring candidates in stable-ish times. John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris all flopped because they didn’t offer much in times of stability.
So why not enable more genocide, allow the few who have homes to lose them, ramp up racism and xenophobia, it makes “I will maybe roll some of these back” look good like it did in 2020.
Exactly. Newsom can probably win in 2028, and the Republican party will be stronger for it.
Please please please dear European, get your country to issue sanctions to the US and force our plutocrats to stop profiting from genocide.
When our progressive candidates try to attend debates on the campaign trail, they’re arrested. Their names are not allowed on ballots. Our country is ruled by plutocrats. We have no democracy. We are the greatest threat to all life on earth. We need your help. Don’t fuck it up. Sincerely, a concerned US American.
We are trying our best. Already started boycotting US companies in some intiatives.
Consumerism isn’t going to do it. We need legal sanctions by your country. Contact your MP and MEP.
Europe can’t issue any sanctions because Europe isn’t a country.
The EU absolutely can issue sanctions. See Russia
As I said in my other comment, contact your MEP
Sorry mate, there won’t be a 2028.
Please europe stop depending on the usa
I remember the liberals not doing nearly enough to fight the fascists
How could you forget something that has been happening continuously our whole lives
Oh goodness!! For how long will he be in Hospital?
Wealth is poison. It corrupts these simpletons and makes the world a worse place.
And Kamala should just chill. She didn’t have the guts to be herself. She’s a pathetic advocate against Trump and these billionaire cack suckers.
What, you weren’t impressed by the Joy theme?
Says the woman who supported the genocide
We’re literally watching genocide happen right now, supported by the American president everyone said would be worse for Palestinians, and you’re still blaming the candidate who lost…
For one thing we were watching the same genocide for the entire year before the election. Another: She hasn’t said anything about Gaza since losing except to congratulate the idf soldier who got released a month ago. Literally nothing would be different outside our borders. If you guys would just accept reality on this one thing people would stop bothering you about it bc you’re wrong.
The candidate who lost… because she was silent on palestine, and still is. Welcome to reality. It’s annoying because its accurate. We live in a society where you have to campaign on promises and kamala couldn’t even lie and say she would protect Palestinian children from “war” to win the election against a fascist who was openly planning to finish the ethnic cleansing. Not our fault, hers. She knew the exact outcomes better than any of us and still chose silence.
Slam dunk easy election to win and they snatched defeat from the jaws of victory by being completely feckless and having nothing of value to campaign on. Go yell at the DNC for being enablers of fascism instead of the people online who correctly assessed that unlimited genocide would lose the election for them. We didn’t hold their tongues, they chose not to speak on the single biggest issue of the year and lost. We continue to speak because they do not.
Again, what good is criticism of trump when the people yelling at us are defending the democrats for doing the exact same thing we’re criticizing trump for? Why would I say “Donald trump isn’t doing enough on gaza” when “doing enough” in his eyes is building his own commercial real estate there? Are the genocide defenders suddenly going to jump on my side because my accurate criticism of US support for genocide is pointed at the santioned enemy of “progressives”? Critiques are most well placed and most effective when pointed at the people claiming to be for the same thing. I’m not moving republicans on this issue, and its kinda gross that I have to work so hard to persuade liberals out of the same position their “opposition” holds. Its just ironic to claim you’re against Trump except for this one issue where the interests are identical, in which case you should only criticize trump for those interests and not the dems.
People criticize kamala because she is the reason we’re here and democrats still dont want to listen and still won’t back down off their “defending israel is not negotiable” bullshit even after losing the election and losing even more respect from voters after the fact. They learn nothing and demand praise for losing with pride and dignity. Fuck off!
Corey Booker, attack dog of the radical left, talked for 25 hours and didn’t mention the genocide at all. These people dont care. Stop pretending like they care. Why do you feel the need to protect them?
They should be removed from office and replaced with principled representatives who will actually do something with the power they are afforded. They chose this. Let them burn for it. They dont need any more protection.
Its not mutually exclusive. Both of those two are responsible for genocide.
Fortunately there were other candidates who didn’t support genocide. I demand nothing less than justice for war criminals and democracy.
there were other candidates
Functionally, that’s just not true. The US’s “first past the post” system means that the winner is going to be the Democratic or Republican Nominee. Every time. Is that fucked up and anti-democratic? Yes. Do we need election reform? Badly. But until then, sitting out or “protest voting” is literally throwing away your vote. Along with the Electoral College and other factors, that’s how we ended up with a fascist, convicted-felon rapist as president, who’s currently crashing economies all over the world. Those who truly demand justice will pursue the most effective way to achieve it…
sitting out or “protest voting” is literally throwing away your vote
yeah whatever pal. I dont think so. I left my vote blank with my eyes wide open and I’ll do it again if we ever get a chance to vote again and the DNC doesnt change their fascist-lite tune.
While you’ll just vote for whoever you’re told to vote for, regardless of their policies.
Not if most people voted a third party option. The electoral system make it harder but fact is fact people vote for the most confortable options
You only named one party
“bOtH SiDeS aRe tHe sAmE!”
We have more than two parties. But the two biggest parties are identical on all the important existential issues, yes.
Supported by both party top leader. Fixed this for you
everyone said would be worse for Palestinians
No, centrists like yourself groping for an excuse said itd be worse.
We have Trump and now this fricking idiot failure clogging the news feeds. This is the Worst possible reality to live in.
We beat nazis before and we will beat them again.
the Soviets largely beat the nazis. We beat the Japanese, who stood no real chance from the very start.
Even Stalin admitted the Soviets needed Lend-lease and Allied pressure in the African and Western theatres. It was an alliance against an alliance and it’s weird to pretend otherwise.
The people who should really be complaining are the Chinese, who caused 2 million of Imperial Japan’s 2.5 million casualties in the war, and suffered roughly 20 million civilian casualties of their own and who knows how many military.
Da, kamarad
