She ran that campaign like a one legged dog. She gave the same exact speech at every rally she attended. She had a parade of millionaire celebrities with military trained armed security details telling people who don't know if they will pay next month's rent or the leccy bill & whose kids are doing active shooter drills in Grade school that their interests are the same. No they are not.

They called Latino men misogynists and told African American men they were obliged to vote Democrat. They spoke of and to the working class of every race like they were cretins and told Pro Palestine Dems they were terrorist sympathisers.

Then she went down to South Carolina and Florida and told hurricane victims still searching for the bodies of their families that there was no money to help them out but they only had themselves to blame really, since very few of them seemed to have saved anything at all for a rainy day - or a series of devastating flash floods as the case may be.

Name one progressive policy initiative she hawked that doesn't have to do with abortion. Tell me at what point they ever acknowledged that a great many African American voters and just as many Latino voters, in line with their very traditional religious beliefs, are vehemently opposed to abortion.
Now me, I am all for abortion on demand. Tbh with you, there's a damn fine case to be made for it being compulsory for a lot of folk. But that was just terrible strategy.

She offered nothing. She has been in the party over a decade and in power for 4 years at the heart of the administration and they've done nothing but fund wars and prop up dodgy financial institutions. Tell me one idea she came out with which would have a real and lasting impact, which was focussed on improving the lives of anyone who is hurting in the US right now. You cannot.

They skipped the Primaries completely which in itself is a subversion of the democratic process. They installed a candidate who was popular with the Party apparatchiks but deeply unpopular in the electorate. She consistently polled lower than Biden in approval yet they bumped him and replaced him with her. it was madness.

If they'd gone for AOC they might have had a chance and she'd have towed the line as well as Harris but no. They are so disconnected from the voters that it never occured to them she'd be rejected. Why would she be rejected they thought. She ticked all the boxes. A woman of mixed race who is relatively young. What did it matter that she's an incompetent hack with a voice like an air raid siren and a fake laugh you could grate rocks on. She put on the accent on whatever group she was talking to at the time. Very badly.

And I swear the bitch was drunk more often than she was sober.

Now everyone's shocked she lost.
Really?

These would all be reasonable points if she wasn't up against a syphilitic mess, who paid off a child he raped on epstien Island, who previously installed his buddies to rob the country blind.

If she had been running against
Mccain
McConnell
Even RKJ

You'd have a point.

Yeah exactly, the bullet farm and gas town had everything they needed explained in fury road, concisely but with enough ambiguity to leave you on a ghost train of a broken world.

I liked the plot of Furiosa but the mystery is gone, it cheapens the original, but I did enjoy the shit out of it

I'm not surprised, but I am horrified.

I have been mentally preparing myself for this for months.

I feel bad for Ukraine, though.

Poland standing on high alert that they will be invaded for the last three months are now treating it as an inevitability, war in Europe is what trump wants: not because he is in bed with Putin, but because a weak EU is good for the US in his mind

Everyone better get comfortable with that election result as it's likely the last one you'll ever have.
You have a regime now.

The second time wasn't as bad for me but it lasted way longer, left me wrecked for weeks instead of a few days

It was temporarily necessary to pretend that serfdom is not the default state of humanity, and the illusion that one could influence the big decisions was permitted.

The reason for this was for a short, inconvenient period of time where revolution was possible, however the technology has now caught up, and this unfortunate pretence can be dropped, as such kindly resume your cowering, serfs.

3.  Rotate augur back into position, drill through manikin, and continue to the next void.

I nearly blacked out laughing at this,  this story has a silver lining though, for me the scariest thing about the thought of being trapped in a cave or buried alive was slow dehydration or suffocating. Now it's the fresh he'll of the dark hentai monster seeking out out, that can rape, kill and finally/optionally rape you again.

Yes, the US elections are about harm reduction, not getting a good candidate in. As I've said before unless you are planning to break the system you only have the option of least harmful

I think her support of the genocide in Israel is costing her a lot of support, and also costing those who might support her a lot of joy.

We get it.  You want Trump back.

Yeah, that's pretty much what she said when people were protesting about it at her rally too.  Since when is "genocide, but without admitting you favor complete genocide" the acceptable lesser evil?

Trump recognised Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and planted an embassy there.

Sorry, the US is fully in support of genocide, regardless of which of your parties gets in. No lesser of two evils there, you are as a nation, fully committed to that specific evil.

I suffered with repeated infections for close to two years because of a botched root canal, my only advice is until you can get it sorted, warm salty water, and if you can't get it capped, get it pulled, nothing worth then the infections that come with that.

Vermins buy everyone in the US a pony was 6billion, trumps wall was 80bn.
That's why moderate centrists like vermin will always lose out to the joke candidate

I wasn't familiar with the painting, and that is hilarious, you are right of course, amazing that they chose to leave her out.

I think Eris would be ok with that, the Dionysia is a celebration of a god, Hades wouldnt party in the temple of Athena, there's a social etiquette to these things.

I'd be more worried about all the Olympians slighted that mortals are only celebrating their drunken idiot relative at an event named after their home.

While I like that Jeff bridges has endorsed her, I prefer to think that The Dude would not be all that tuned in with what is currently happening in the world of politics.

Ok that's interesting, outside of the US its portrayed as a very united front in support, with people crying out for the US to put pressure on Israel to kerb its homicidal instincts.
