Yeah the dems really did just hand over power voluntarily to a guy they have spent the past like 10 years painting as an authoritarian dictator who will destroy america.

after 4 years of pandering to right wing conservatives and reactionaries by aligning the party with the oldest, pro-war, pro-cop, pro-prison and anti-immigrant democrat still alive and marginalize/demobilize the anti-genocide portion of the coalition.... its finally time to heal the nation and come together to work with a very different pro-war, pro-cop, pro-prison, anti-immigrant that we spent the last 4 years insisting was the reason we had to sell everyone out to prevent from staying in power.

obama wasn't the oldest, pro-war, pro-cop, pro-prison and anti-immigrant democrat alive. he was the youngest. hillary was the most girlboss, and kamala was the most californian. these are all massively different conservative/reactionary pandering flavors.

over the decades, the democrats have tried every flavor of pro-war, pro-cop, pro-prison and anti-immigrant pandering there is! what more do you people want?!

Preferable someone who will actually do something for Palestine and its people.

That was true 4 years ago but the libs kept crying wolf while committing genocide for over a year and alienated people they needed to win

What, so people voted for other parties? That makes sense if true.
