Thats what we fucking told you. Its not just that its morally abhorrent: it also cost you votes. We've been building a set of moral and politically priorities within the DNC for 25 fucking years and then you fucking ran against them Harris. LGBTQ+ rights are at its fucking core. That's why you fucking lost.
I think everything the administration did in power worked against her.
They ran on being better for migrants, continued the bullshit with them.
They ran on the wave of protests for Black lives. They armed the cops even more.
They ran on actually caring about the people affected by the covid pandemic. They just declared it over when it is obviously not and still killing and disabling tons of folk.
They were proud of their support of the genocide in Gaza.
They were obviously better than Trump, but how can you run as the good guys when you do all that? No one bought it.
The most frustrating thing of it all: they gained nothing for collapsing inwardly on their morals. The gained nothing and cost us everything.
Right! They just empowered the fucking fascists by conceding ground that should have been fought for. Fuck Joe Biden and Harris for all of eternity. Feckless losers
