Biden will wake up in a few hours and realize his legacy is being an old f*ck that couldn’t see that running for reelection was a mistake.

Harris had her issues, but any hope of things improving in Gaza, Ukraine, or really anywhere, have been scorched. 

What are you talking about? Russia invaded outside of Trumps administration, right after Kamala made her negotiations. Do you really believe Kamala has a better relationship with Putin than Trump?

yes. And the sky is blue and water is wet. The point I’m (trying) to make is, that people make politics and not the rise and fall of the sun or god. There is power to coalitions and just because the US failed this time doesn’t mean the rest of the world is doomed to do so too. xx ☺️

but you forget the influence the US has on the world not just politically but financially too. literally currencies are traded against the dollar. 

its not like trump has direct rule over you but trust me, if he makes a decision the world will feel it. especially on the ukraine/russia and Gaza situation

HARRIS: Let me be very clear. I’m unequivocal and unwavering in my commitment to Israel’s defense and its ability to defend itself. And that’s not gonna change.

BASH: But no change in policy in terms of arms and so forth?

HARRIS: No. We have to get a deal done.

Those viral and much criticized answers came after her interviewer repeatedly stated that Biden's policies have been overwhelmingly ineffective.

We've been getting circular statements like that for months now. She says she's open to dialogue but she's also committed to continuing arming Israel for their "self-defense". As even CNN, shockingly, dared to admit, this is illegal, as Israel cannot invoke that right under international law.

I can't argue with you about the "if I had to choose" argument, that's to each his own. I don't think that's the right angle though. What I've mostly seen among voters is the ethical approach of not wanting to reward Kamala with a win, effectively saying "carry on killing millions". Whether that's correct or not, again, I have no idea.

but end of the day, today we've got the confirmation that the American people are pro Israel and they agree (and even wants to extreme the support) with Israel's actions, so Kamala was doomed in any case because Israel government campaigned against her by saying that she's bad for Israel and pro Palestinian and Americans LOVES Netanyahu, old school dems or republicans, while on the other hand, pro Palestinians campaigned against her that she's bad for the Palestinians and pro Israel, so it doesn't matter what is her opinion, she couldn't win this one.

We're bringing Ukraine multiple times, but Ukraine is the human shield of the European Union from Russia, they had all the power to prevent the situation but they didn't do much to stop it, the fate of Ukraine was known day 1, it's totally over..

K but at least if we had Kamala, we could wait a bit more until Putler died. Now Trump is gonna stop sending all weapons and it's gonna end way sooner leaving no hope for Ukraine

He did not run in the end. Who knows, maybe he would have won. Kamala lost big. we don't know how Biden would have fared

gaga should just drop LG7 to distract us from all this trump mess 

[AndiGaga 7,233]

The sad thing for me is: The Democrats will not run with a female candidate for a long time from now on. And the even sadder thing is: rightfully so. They need to go into the 2028 race with a white man again. Women do not get a chance by too many Americans. Thats so sad

Did the Harris team really think all these celebrity endorsements would help?

IKR? People on this site clearly did

I just cannot imagine as a tax payer being told what to do by a rich celebrity who is clearly not paying enough taxes and is only doing performative activism out of my future 

That's a turn off and creates the narrative Trump uses on his favor, he and his people against the system, media and famous celebrities

America, I’m so sorry. Wishing you all the best. This also terrifies me as a Canadian and the worldwide consequences this will have.

Part of it sadly is.

But also low unemployment doesn't mean well paid work.

Record highs for the stock market doesn't mean it trickles down to the average person.

People felt the pinch from inflation as prices rose and outstripped wage growth for the most part. Obviously the price rises slowed/stopped but it stopping didn't mean suddenly everyone was doing alright again.

But then she could've also just given her voters what they wanted? Or was that not an option?

Yes, Russia did start their war in Ukraine outside of the Trump administration, and while the Biden administration couldn't prevent it from happening, they have been actively supporting Ukraine since. This support has been crucial for Ukraine's ability to withstand the conflict this long, thanks largely to U.S. aid. We can't say for sure what would have happened if Trump were still president, but considering his admiration for authoritarian leaders and dictatorships, it's likely he might have reached some kind of agreement with Putin that would accept or ignore the invasion. I don’t believe Trump would have supported Ukraine the way Biden has.

I’m talking about him entering the race to begin with. And yes. Based on the exit polling it is very clear that this race was a rejection of “Biden’s economy.” Had he stayed in the race, it would’ve been worse.
