    Supporting Israel is what Trump did too and even worse than Harris.

    So the key to beating fascism in your mind was to platform the same policies, but a little less? What do you actually think Harris should have done differently that would have helped her win the election? Because clearly, doing the same thing but slightly less bad didn’t work this time.

      The key to defeat fascism is not voting for fascism. Nothing Harris could have done would have changed anything. American voters and non voters want fascism more than a female president.

      I called it 4 mths ago. Putting her up was a mistake. They either needed to stay with Biden or better yet, have him not run again and pick a white man as candidate.

      Even then it would have been hard with so many people choosing fascism and choosing not to prevent fascism.

        The key to defeat fascism is not voting for fascism.

        Are you implying Harris was also fascist, or are you just complaining that not enough people voted for her? If it’s the first, then fine. But if it’s the second, what do you think Harris could have done to earn more votes?

        Or are you saying that racism and misogyny in the US is just that much stronger than our anti-fascist beliefs? That there’s no amount of good policy and campaign promises that a woman could give that would ever be enough to beat fascism?
