Some comrades over at Hexbear have organized a donation drive for Palestine and, over the past few weeks, have managed to raise over $1500 for verified Palestinian fundraisers. The fediverse is a good place full of good people.

Read that again, I didn’t make any assumptions about where they are, but I’m not wrong. They fought Kamala like they were getting paid. There’s no way Kamala would have been worse, you’ll have to invent new lies to make that one stick.
Kamala fought ‘herself’.
In USA you need independents to win elections. This has been established fact for many years. Independents outnumber Ds and Rs, at 40% registered (with R30/D30%).
Harris ran an odd campaign, you can see many articles about it… she did a huge amount of Republican outreach, more than I’ve ever seen or heard of… and even ads, like “He doesn’t have to know how you voted” and so on, for months when she was already short on time.
They don’t do that in my experience, it’s unusual to say the least. Independent votes are their target, much more susceptible for voting D than any R.
Why did they waste all of this time and money on REPUBLICANS?
I know why, and so does Kamala and the DNC. They aren’t stupid.
She went against the math and went for her opposition’s votes… she took a knee.
If you disagree, if you’re familiar with US politics and know of a different reason, please share. I want to be wrong.
TBH, it wasn’t that far outside of the basic corporate Dem playbook. Incredibly stupid and definitely lost her the election, for sure, but Dems have been “courting the moderate Republican” (is this “moderate Republican” in the room with us right now?) since Clinton left office - if not longer. It was the most strange and open version of it I’ve ever seen, but I wonder how much of it was her doing and how much was pushed by the party and the party’s campaign managers. Practically all the party ever talks about is how they have to reach across the aisle and convince conservatives to vote for them. We saw it with Hillary as well. They alienated the leftist vote and their own voters to push more conservative policies and lost themselves the election.
Kamala and Walz had a goldmine when they started calling Republicans weird, and they suddenly stopped like 8 days later. If that wasn’t the party muzzling them, I don’t know what is.
She stuck to all her leftwing policy position and only compromised on 80/20 issues like border security.
