Kamala is and has always been a shit tier candidate.

Can we finally admit that her entire campaign amounted to gaslighting people into thinking she's remotely leftist?

...and she's going to try to run in 28?

She'll have better chances running as a republican at this point.

Cheney was an absolute cunt, but he had one saving grace: he supported gay marriage.

[–] stoly@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Only because his daughter was gay. And don't forget that the GOP went off for weeks on John Kerry for mentioning this because how dare he talk about a personal family matter.

[–] hildegarde@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Politicians need to learn to not comment.

Kamala wasn't involved in national politics at the same time as cheney. When cheney was last in office, Kamala was the district attorney of SF, an local office that only deals with the laws of California. No plausible working relationship between the two. They were not even interacting with the same laws. They worked in entirely different levels of government. There is no need for any statement.

Regardless of politics, any statement like this will sound disingenuous. If she knows Lynne, Liz, Mary, and the entire family well enough to have them in her thoughts, she could tell them directly. Calling someone to wish them the best in a hard time is a commendable act. Making a public statement telling other people that you care about someone else is just weird.

Man, it's almost like Kamala is fake as hell. Craaaazy.

[–] hildegarde@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 17 hours ago

My point was about politicians generally, but using Kamala as an example. Many do this and its a bad idea every time.

I have no opinion on her. Its irrelevant, its not like she holds any elected office.

[–] axx@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 day ago

This is exactly right.

Stuff like this reminds me why they lose to fascists. When they like to say the proto-fascists are practicing politics correctly it really waters down their message and what is at stake.

This is the respectful way to honor someone's passing.

[–] Hegar@fedia.io 1 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

It's disrespectful to "honor" the passing of a murderous torturing thief.

It's disrepectful to the memory of the million+ iraqis civilians he killed for no reason, the innocents tortured under his direction, and the victims of his many financial crimes at home and abroad.

[–] stinky@redlemmy.com 1 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Honoring is NOT condoning his actions. It's a way of honoring yourself, your people, and your country by showing respect, even to the lowest of your members.

[–] Hegar@fedia.io 1 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

That's not true though. It's a way to whitewash the legacy of one of history's few unmitigated villians.

No one's honoring themselves and their country by showing respect to the memory of ted bundy and he killed orders of magnitude fewer than cheney.

[–] stinky@redlemmy.com 1 points 21 hours ago

You are confusing honoring him with condoning his actions, please do not do that

Your comparison is inaccurate because Ted Bundy was only a murderer.

I'm sorry

[–] stoly@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And you got downvoted. This is how people have always acted. Your enemy politician thankfully died and you put out a respectful statement in response even though you're really celebrating.

[–] stinky@redlemmy.com 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I have downvotes disabled on my instance .. I always see 0 for every comment

What the actual fuck.

Fucking disgraceful.

He and his daughter put their necks on the line to support her. So I can only expect something like this.

[–] GeneralEmergency@lemmy.world 37 points 2 days ago (4 children)

It's literally just a boiler plate acknowledging a current situation post.

Fucking hell you guys.

[–] thax@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 day ago

Reactivity and haphazard attribution has spread like an emotional contagion. It's understandable but certainly doesn't inspire much confidence in our ability to adapt to compounding crises.

[–] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 day ago

You act like she had to make a post honoring a war criminal.

I think that was well crafted.

  • No mention of "good" or any other positive in connection with his work.
  • mentioned dedication to his work, which is the minimum you can say without insults
  • "thoughts" without the "prayers", that is a really nice slapp :D

I'm sure there is more in there that i missed, but this is basically a "good riddance, finally" in terms that can be understood as polite.

[–] Soup@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I love how weak Americans are that ya’ll think this is some kind of secretly scathing message. Land of the brave but they can’t just fuckin’ say anything outloud out of an intense fear of not being “proper”.

Land of the cowards, more like.

That's standard politician that is.

Something in the world happens that does not involve them, or in any way require a comment from them.

Them: "oh I got to make a non statement about this".

Yeah, we're definitely better off with her not being president. Much happier with what we got instead.

[–] Tyrq@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 day ago (4 children)

This whole fiasco might result in a much stronger and more socialist left flank all in all, so I look forward to more wins like mamdani, I guess time will tell

It's called tact. Adults generally have it.

[–] kosure@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 day ago

People can say literally nothing.

Cheney doesn't deserve tact. All he deserves is a piss-soaked grave.

[–] Soup@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No one gives a shit what Harris has to say on the matter. She lost and then fucking bounced to go sign a book deal because she doesn’t actually give a fuck. But she does love hanging out with Liz Cheney so there’s always that.

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

She accuses Jill Stein of not doing anything between elections, and then after the election she goes on vacation and then writes a book about how she lost. She didn't even attend No Kings! What has she been doing to fight this tyranny she warned us about?

[–] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 day ago

And Stein got arrested protesting for Gaza, while Harris told protestors to be quiet.

I was always taught never to say anything about the dead unless it’s good. He’s dead. Good!
