If the goal was to keep Kamala out of the office, the goal was achieved. If the goal was to keep the shadiest asshole out, it failed in a manner that would be laughable if it wasn’t so horrible. If the goal was to not vote for shady people, well, how did that solve the problem of shady people in power? That isn’t whataboutism, it is merely pointing out facts.
“If Kamala had done this…” - not a personal attack.
“If you (which is a plural, by the way) had done this…” - clearly a personal attack.
But please, assume the you was singular. How are those two statements different?
I’m not a fan of false dichotomies, but FPTP devolves into a dichotomy. Pretending it doesn’t, or that even inaction has no bearing on the outcome, is just wishful thinking. There were two choices to be had, and every American who had the option made a choice, whether through action or inaction. Sure, Kamala could have made a statement to not support genocide. Maybe she would even have won if she had done so. But at the end of the day, a choice was still made, by each and every American with the option to vote.
There’s another aspect to it. The message changes considerably depending on the audience.
For bigger context Kamala just endorsed Jasmine Crockett over James Talarico for a Texas senate race, so we’re seeing a big racial push this week about how this whole choosing a white guy over a black woman is a you problem and nothing to do with policy or anything.
That’ll be fucking interesting. Just hearing about the endorsement from you. My thinking is that anytime a candidate who failed as spectacularly as Harris did, when they endorse, that’s like, the mierdas touch, and anything the get near turns to shit.
Surprisingly unsurprising that Harris would endorse the emptier of the two suits.
I’m also glad this elect is happening quickly so we won’t have to wait long or speculate about the outcome.
I actually thought this was a general reference to the inherent stupidity of racism.
I get your point, but still think this is more of a jab at super racist MAGA people.
Nah Kamala is a fucking shady asshole, thats why people didnt vote for her.
Well, I for one am glad that we avoided having shady people in the Oval Office…
Holy whataboutism. Nothing absolves here of the shitty things she has done. The lesser evil ideology is why Trump is the current US president.

There was one way to get Harris into office: she had to change her stance on genocide.
There was one way to keep Trump out of office, and it wasn’t sitting on your hands.
See how you it switched to a personal attack about what one individual dies? That’s form of misdirection.

I love “mierdas touch”.
No it’s a jab at perceived anti genocide voters
