A gentle reminder to not blame your allies today. The only person you should blame for Harris's loss is Kamala Harris (and maybe Joe Biden). (beehaw.org)

[alt text: a screenshot of a tweet by @delaney_nolan, which says, "Biden/Harris saw this polling and decided to keep unconditionally arming Israel". Below the tweet is a screenshot from an article, which states: "In Pennsylvania, 34% of respondents said they would be more likely to vote for the Democratic nominee if the nominee vowed to withold weapons to Israel, compared to 7% who said they would be less likely. The rest said it would make no difference. In Arizona, 35% said they'd be more likely, while 5% would be less likely. And in Georgia, 39% said they'd be more likely, also compared to 5% who would be less likely."]

Media fault: 20%
Putin / Musk / etc interference fault: 25%
America dumb fault: 30%
Long history of shitty Democrats fault: 15%
Kamala Harris fault: 10%

Sure, you can say she shouldn't have done the 10%. Would it have been enough? After watching what Biden did and how people reacted to him, probably not.

But anyway, we'll never know. Also, I don't know why the 10% is the most important part, to you. The other parts are fixable, going forward.

Well, maybe not now.

Its not actually, I just said in the end, she had to produce and she didn't. I blame the media the most, but they're just the propaganda arm of the oligarchy.
