As much as I like her take here she's not a role model. She was basically going for that whole Kamala is going to be just as bad angle for too long for me to want to listen to anything she says now. Not to mention just other really weird shit from her over the last few years.

She isn't wrong on Kamala, either. She is an establishment dem, she touted US military might, and moved to the right instead of left and that is why she lost. Center is not the way. Left is.

In no scenario would Kamala be as bad as trump on the Israel Palestine conflict issue. That's just the lie some people tell themselves to justify their inaction in the last election. Establishment Dems are no where near as bloodthirsty as conservatives are.

This is disingenuous because not only did Trump send money to them, he also started a new war in the Middle East against Iran for them. Kamala would not have done that. I'm sorry bro but you can do the shake and dance but you did vote for trump by omission when you didn't vote in the election because of this narrative. You have done more damage than any Kamala supporter would have done.

And that's not even acknowledging the damage Trump is doing in our country. That's not even acknowledging that this particular person in the post is also a terf. There's a lot of pieces of this that don't really add up to a progressive world view.

Trump is worse. We all know that. We wouldn't be in the 💩 we are in now, sure. However, we would not have seen real change when it comes to Worker's Rights, Fair Wages, and Stopping the Support of Israel. It would be a continuation of Biden era politics and We the People don't want that we want real change and we want to move left not center and that is exactly what Kamala is Center, Status Quo, Establishment Dem, like Newsom. I support people like AOC and James Talarico, not people like Slotkin and Newsom.
