    Reasons why Harris lost:

    #3: Enabling Israel to kill 186,000 or more people in Gaza

    Reasons why Harris lost:

    #4: Provoking a world war against Russia that has led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Russians and Ukrainians

    Reasons why Harris lost:

    #5: Promising to make the US military into the most “lethal fighting force in the world”
    Reasons why Harris lost:

    #6: Promising to do the bidding of Wall Street
    Reasons why Harris lost:

    #7: Orchestrating a historic redistribution of wealth from the working class to the financial oligarchy.

    Reasons why Harris lost:

    #7: Completely adopting Trump’s fascist anti-immigrant policies
    Reasons why Harris lost:

    #8: Completely adopting Trump’s fascist anti-immigrant policies
    The right-wing, anti-working class policies of the Democrats have handed Trump the presidency. But the tasks after January 5 are fundamentally the same as before it: Building a mass movement of the working class based on the perspective of Trotskyism.

    Reasons why Harris lost:

    #9: Overseeing the arrest of of thousands of peaceful protesters opposing the Gaza genocide, while claiming that constitutionally-protected free speech promotes “disorder.”

    Reasons why Harris lost:

    #10: Biden adopted a “let it rip” policy on COVID-19, leading to the deaths of nearly 1 million Americans.

    CDC director Rochelle Walensky said that it is “encouraging” that disabled people died, in an open embrace of eugenics.
    Trump’s election is the disastrous outcome of the deliberate repudiation by the Democrats of any programmatic orientation to the working class, which Clinton called as “a basket of deplorables” & Biden called “garbage.”

    @DavidNorthWSWS As @DavidNorthWSWS explained, “Trump’s contempt for democratic principles and the ’rule of law’ can claim numerous precedents in the actions of earlier presidential administrations, both Republican and Democratic.”

    American historians issue politically bankrupt and intellectually dishonest appeal for Kamala Harris
    The appeal is an appalling document, which exposes both the political bankruptcy of American liberalism and the deplorable role played by its intellectual exponents in propping up the Democratic Party…

    Reasons why Harris lost:

    #11: Biden’s war abroad was paid for by a war on the working class.

    He spent trillions on the US military and war all over the world. He pledged, “defending freedom will have costs for us as well, here at home” in the form of falling living standards.

      You know, fuck this, stream of consciousness coming up. Mute/whatever as you see fit.

      Trump didn’t win this election. Kamala lost it. The Democrats lost it. Neoliberalism lost it.

      Turns out if you’re on team moderate social injustice and your opponent is team total social injustice, you’re playing the social injustice game with the people who wrote the damn book. Who did you think was going to fucking win?

      What I’m trying to say is this: Fuck. Neoliberals. (1/13)

      A la fin de son fil, il y a quelques hollandistes qui interviennent pour rétablir la vérité :

      It is the fault of all the people who chose not to vote for progress and instead just attack the political party trying to make progress.

      If you could only hear yourself as you sound to sane people. You’re calling for the opposition to the fascists to be dismantled just as the battle begins.

      The Kremlin has been so damn successful with so many of y’all.

      @GreenFire @gpilz @mohab @aral “The Kremlin” Cope harder. Close to 20 million Dem voters didn’z show up to the polls. but its the russians fault, the lefts fault, everyone is at fault but your dogshit campaign.

      When Jon Steward called Biden old you lot came after him. You tried to appeal to “moderates” and lost horribly. But sure Russia. Zero introspections from the shitlibs. Just like 2016.
