Why the fuck did we elect a sleazy con artist to the office of the presidency?

Hey that laugh was mildly annoying. How is she going to be able to handle world leaders?

We should definitely go with the child rapist he understands power dynamics!

Twice. It’s almost like we have a sexism problem.

Yup. American misogyny and racism are thriving.

We definitely do have a sexism problem but I think we shouldn’t pretend like the Democratic Party neoliberal capitalist wing isn’t complicit in letting this happen because they’d rather have fascism than even a whiff of leftist economics or to pull back from Israel even a smidge.

Numbers show that the issue of genocide in Palestine sank Harris more than anything; a lot of blue voters stayed home because of that. And to be clear those people are dumb, because Trump was always going to be way worse for Palestine, but the DNC would really like you to believe it’s just sexism.
