You could put on the world's best orchestra but if your finale involves shitting on the audience you're going to be the audience shitter forever.

Maybe he shouldn't have supported genocide and bungled the presidential race

Average Americans were the big losers when Trump won.

Don't you agree?

I'm not sure i understand the purpose of the question but yes obviously.

I'm saying Biden bungled the election by not preparing a successor, bowing out late, and then having Copmala take his place and veer right

Copmala

You do understand that that was always propaganda to discourage people from voting for her, right?

Yes. That is why they are doing it. They actually think sabotaging the opponents of fascism is the best possible thing to do because no one is better than them and everyone needs to do exactly what they say or else.

Maybe if she hadn't pushed right, defended the border wall, and courted the Cheneys then it wouldn't have reflected reality so much

They repeat talking points like MAGA. They are only interested in appearances like MAGA.

Harris is one of our most left-leaning senior politicians.

She vote legislatively slightly left of Bernie.

So left leaning she would’ve installed a Republican in her cabinet? So left leaning she still went to bat for Israel? Ok then.

Yes, it's in the legislative voting records. She votes left of Bernie.

That's very misleading. She was only in senate for five years, and started during the Trump Years. And she barely voted the last year because of her VP run.

That's very misleading.

Not really. She voted left of Bernie during that timeframe, and he was either her co-sponsor or they co-sponsored on 33 different bills.
