Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Oh my god there is some delicious lib takes in r/politics post. Lamenting what was done to the kindest greatest president grandpa ever.
Just some examples. The preemptive racism and misogyny of liberals is on full display. These spineless worms will tell you we can't have black / female / gay leaders because America is inherently racist, but they will always be the first ones to take action and prevent it from happening. "America will never elect a gay president," they'll tell you, as they vote in their primaries to prevent it.
Not to say I think Harris is a champion of women or black causes in any regard.
Obama won handily twice, even widely-disliked Hillary won the popular vote
It's also just a cope to explain away why Hillary lost. "Oh the US hates women, it has nothing to do with the fact she didn't campaign in swing states, changed dialects depending on where she was geographically, was a charismatic black hole and known by most to be a dreadful ghoul willing to throw anyone under the bus to get more power. It's just because people hate women, no need for introspection."
remember when they lied about Bernie saying this and pilloried him for it
these are the people who called bernie a misogynist in 2020
