Kamala Harris: "People are tired of having to choose between gas and groceries, because both are too expensive thanks to Donald Trump's war in Iran"
I know people have said projection as a joke for the last 10 years, but they really do project everything to the point that once you got over how fucking dumb and cruel some of the shit they were doing, it was so predictable.
One of the main pillars of his campaign was that the democrats were gearing up to start an unprovoked war with Iran and that we needed to vote for Trump to avoid another quagmire in the Middle East.
And thatâs how we all knew Trump was planning on invading Iran as soon as he took office.
i dislike this "she was a woman" excuse, if not for the electoral college in 2016, it would have been "Madam President Clinton", she had won the popular vote vs trump
Kamala Harris also still polls incredibly well despite how many trolls claim otherwise
she remains consistently at the very top of polls against other potential presidential candidates, it was election interference and disinformation that heavily impacted her becoming president
The racism narrative was forced. Why was her indian heritage never brought up? They only want to run on black. Racism should have ended with Obama, but they couldnt have that happen. Had to double down on the race hustle to keep people angry
The number 1 thing I hear from conservatives about the Obama Era is that he caused some great divide in our country. When asked how he created this division, nobody can answer it, and I'm guessing it's because they don't want to come right out and tell me that it was because they didn't like his skin color after not immediately agreeing with them.
Everytime there is a democrat president they claim democrats have to unite the nation. Yet they call themsives Americans and I say I live in the United States. United being the key word.
On one hand we would have the status queue which was only bad.
On the other hand that would mean the MAGA movement would have no responsibilities to prove that it could run a country, and instead would have been completely free to grow and fester, and might actually have gotten some competent leaders.
Unless Kamala actually had fixed a lot of the issues which already were there, I don't thing Kamala winning would actually prevent a fascist uprising sooner or later... just like electing Biden didn't.
I still can't believe the impatience with Biden and the economy. We had Bush absolutely devastate the economy and it took several years to get shit back on track. I have no clue why people wouldn't expect the same after covid? I can say though, people have shit memory. Apparently, MAGA forgot we had Trump number 1 who didn't do healthcare, infrastructure, or really anything. He botched Covid and caused a lot of the inflation, but all I hear about is Biden's inflation. Trump couldn't even keep the most perfect and beautiful economy going strong, it was starting to trend downwards like it always does when Republicans are in office before Covid even hit.
They forget about covid and the fact they complained about mask mandates and vaccines. Trump botched the response. Which would be understandable if he took responsibilty for anything he screws up.
Mamdani has by now shown how quickly you can make improvements if you really want to.
Yes they have, the problem is just that a lot of democrats aren't progressive, or even necessarily against everything that is happening right now. A shocking amount of them fully supports what ICE is doing...
We had a DSA candidate here in Wisconsin but the voters wanted an establishment dem. The change is there but the people aren't. I don't know any dems that back ICE. Deporting criminals yes.
And they also don't take bold enough action to make a lasting difference, because unlike FDR they are beholden to their donors first, not the broke 99%.
How do you completely fix a nation after republicans screw everything up? If you want change then vote properly. We have pretty much lost all of our allies. That may be impossible to fix.
Truman sent advisors. Â Kennedy expanded the role and number of âadvisorsâ to 16,000. Â Johnson took over the war and expanded the troop count to 500,000. Â It is complicated, but it is impossible to hang âstarting the warâ on Republicans no matter how you spin it.
Better reason than all these persian wars for sure. Â Regardless of climate change we should be spending every penny we can on solar so that we have the ability to tell the entire middle east to fuck off, we donât want to be involved.
I wish we could get back to a point in US politics where someone like Kamala could be considered a bad dem candidate and choosing not to vote for someone like her wouldn't cause a complete collapse of our country.
trump has ruined US politics for for the foreseeable future.
Her supporters will be more likely to vote if she is enthusiastically supporting another candidate. I expect every primary debate to end in a big group hug.
Yup. We must never forget how terrified she was to talk about the genocide in Israel. She wouldnât have fucked up the world like Trump is, but when are we going to get someone that actually represents us?
If DNC tries to run her again, we are cooked. Idk where she has been for the past nearly 2 years, but she has me convinced that she is completely spineless
The USA has Lost less than a hundred lives fighting a rĂŠgime that cures liberalism ie gay rights, feminism diversity of thought and coexistence with executions. Do You honestly believe a woman Married to a Jewish man would seek to destroy Israel like most contemporary Liberals? When Biden backed Israel You cheered him on. This war Is all about Power. Either the USA wins or learn to speak MandarĂn.
I love seeing people think Dems are truly and diff than the reps, both parties have and will continue to slowly kill this nation. While the majority of the population spend their time on line saying how the other side is the real evil of the country.
I've had to prioritize money for gas and groceries since 2022. Just seems like it gets a little worse every year and I have to work a little more to make ends meet. I now work weekends too.
Iâm sorry but we donât need Kamala Harris in the White House. Honestly we need another Obama. Or someone like Mamdani who actually cares about the people.
kamala lost because she was a dogshit candidate with no convictions besides her fealty to israel and her hate for the muslim world. blaming trumps victory on people who didnt vote for her is effectively victim-blaming. im glad her hindsight is 20/20 but she would have gone to war with iran as well, clearly: https://www.cnbc.com/2024/10/08/harris-iran-greatest-adversary-trump-election.html
Kamala trying to make herself relevant again after we all collectively decided shes a fuckwad of a person who conspired with the dnc to rob us of a primary
Do you all not remember when grocery prices started going up like crazy amounts when she was VP???? I know i sure do! And then waited untill right before the election to start talking about doing something about it......save your words Kamala...you are no different! Wake up people...they all are in it together
I disagree that one party is responsible for people staying at home. People are responsible for staying at home. Not being happy because someone isnt perfect enough for you(using royal you+ here not you specifically) is no excuse to allow fascism by way of your apathy.
Trump is an absolute idiot but she still managed to lose against him so badly that even states which usually vote for democrats preferred to vote for trump instead for her.
People are downvoting because they think this is MAGA sentiment, but democrats have consistently failed us by making great posture on things we care about and then calling it a hard days work
she consistently polls higher than any other presidential candidate, our adversaries do not want us having a competent leader that could have dealt with russia's genocide and the israel-hamas war, there was a 3-phase plan endorsed heavily by the United Nations Security Council that Biden initiated just before he left office, the next president would have been able to enforce it and get the 3-phase end of the war through
I like Kamala, I think she would have been vastly superior than Trump this term. But this is one reason I think she lost. Her rallies, her speeches, gave the impression that her opposition was already defeated, that she had the election in the bag, which allowed some people to be less motivated to get out and vote.
Don't forget racist. The racism was/is doing a lot of work for the Republican party. Even today so many no brainer races again corrupt rapist pedophile protectors are neck and neck because racism is that strong of a motivator for Republicans.
You are absolutely correct and the American electorate had an opportunity to make it right after 2016 but didn't. 2024 convinced me that a woman will never be elected president of the United States at least in my lifetime.
Democrats would love you to think that the reason she lost was gender/race/identity. Not that she was another machine politician with nibble around the edges ideas that didn't differentiate her enough from Biden.
Roughly 1/3 voted for him, 1/3 voted for her and 1/3 couldnât be interested enough to vote, and likely still wonât. It might be apathy or⌠people who are actually full time scrambling to manage the uphill battle of just getting by, with a conviction no one in politics is any different than the other.
And she was an active member of an administration facilitating a genocide. I voted for her, but I'd never do it again. I'm done with harm reduction votes.
In the '24 campaign, I heard her say "Rah, rah, Us! They're bad! We're not them!" What I didn't hear beyond promising targeted little goodies to select interest groups, was that we needed a big change to e.g. get money out of politics, reform the court, rein in big monopolies. In other words, calls to specific actions that would drain the swamp. So I certainly voted for her but I didn't have much enthusiasm.
Doing your civic duty and making voting against fascism is reward enough. I would enthusiastically vote against a fascist again if I ever got the chance
What a nincompoop. Do people in this venue realize we all know their goal was to eliminate fossil fuels by increasing cost so people would buy environmentally horrible electric cars? Do they also realize that we know the cost of groceries exploded under Biden's disasterous screwing up the economy?
Gas is around the same it has been for the last 15 years give or take 50 cents either way we been struggling if everyone on both sides would stop bitching and actually work together for once we be ok. Don't worry Democrats it will be y'all's turn again to fuck everything up let the Republicans have there turn fucking it up. None of y'all feel the affects of any of y'all's bullshit. We the people take the fucking from both sides so shut the fuck up no politician worries about gas prices or food prices.
Gas was higher under Biden, and adjusted for inflation, even higher under Obama.
Grocery inflation by presidential administration, 2001â2026
Using the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Food at Home CPI, here's how grocery prices changed during each administration, compared with overall inflation.
Administration
Grocery price increase
Overall inflation
Grocery inflation relative to overall inflation
George W. Bush (2001â09)
+28.3%
+20.6%
+6.4%
Barack Obama (2009â17)
+8.0%
+15.0%
â6.1%
Donald Trump I (2017â21)
+6.2%
+7.7%
â1.4%
Joe Biden (2021â25)
+23.3%
+21.4%
+1.6%
Donald Trump II (2025âSep. 2026)
+3.5%
+6.1%
â2.4%
Not sure if not living in reality is hurting the Dems more, or their genocide supporting loser candidates popping up all the time to say some stupid bullshit.
Keep defending pedophiles like Trump, its a good look for you.
Gas was higher because of the recovery from Covid, which Trump also fucked up the beginning to btw. Gas is this high now because Trump is a pedophile and needed a distraction from the Trump-Epstein files
Sheâs been reeeaaaalll quiet during the Trump administration. Anyone want to guess why? Because she (and the rest of the dems) are totally complicit. But they know that they can placate their constituents by using a few catch words and throwing out a tweet here and there. All while doing nothing real to address whatâs going on.
Iâm upset with all of them. And you should be too. They are all doing the same things, apart from a little verbal pandering to their specific constituents.
So the party in charge who are actively destroying our democracy.... You say nothing about. But, telling me I should be upset at the party NOT doing that simply because you feel they haven't said enough? You need to rebalance your priorities.

Trump said if we voted for Harris we'd get more wars and higher prices. And he was right. I voted for Harris and that's exactly what I got.
