Never realized South Korea, Taiwan, or other SEA countries are not democracies but dictatorships.

The campaign was complete garbage, though. In a Rolling Stone article, it details on how many advisors and Democratic party operatives were begging her campaign to not bring in Liz Cheney because any gains would essentially be eclipsed by other Democratic voters that otherwise stayed home.

A Democratic strategist says they warned key Harris surrogates and top-level officials at the Democratic National Committee that campaigning with Liz Cheney [...] was highly unlikely to motivate any new swing voters, and risked dissuading already-despondent, infrequent Democratic voters who had supported Biden in 2020

I also understand that your main points are on how political commentators and news anchors on TV chose not to encourage Harris to tackle issues on the economy, but an Atlantic article essentially tells us that Harris torpedoed her anti-big business rhetoric when she brought in her brother-in-law into the campaign itself.

While Harris was stuck defending the Biden economy, and hobbled by lingering anger over inflation, attacking Big Business allowed her to go on the offense. Then, quite suddenly, this strain of populism disappeared. One Biden aide told me that Harris steered away from such hard-edged messaging at the urging of her brother-in-law, Tony West, Uber’s chief legal officer

Honestly, how big of a role does media have in swaying her campaign into talking about important issues (such as the economy, like you pointed out) if she willingly chose to ignore the easiest slam dunks her campaign had?

I literally just saw the thermal footage from Dropsite where the F35 gets slapped silly. Even though it was not destroyed, the entire project relies on whether or not it is invincible to fire and invisible to any tracking systems.

It's honestly embarrassing as an American to see how much money is funneled into failed projects just to fatten the wallets of multi-billionaires. At this rate, countries that rely on the US for defenses will run to China for assurances (as they should, tbh).

Either way, ANOTHER 10 TRILLION TO THE MIC

To anyone reading Ensign's comment and downvoting, their claim is essentially an already established fact. Rolling Stone put out an article after the election saying that the Harris campaigned intentionally ignored Democratic party insiders and their advice and polling data against bringing the Cheneys on board.

A Democratic strategist says they warned key Harris surrogates and top-level officials at the Democratic National Committee that campaigning with Liz Cheney — and making the campaign’s closing argument about how many Republicans were supporting Harris — was highly unlikely to motivate any new swing voters, and risked dissuading already-despondent, infrequent Democratic voters who had supported Biden in 2020.

“We were told, basically, to get lost, no thank you,” says the operative.

Article in question

Born too late to invade the Middle East for oil. Born too early to invade China for oil. Born just in time to invade Venezuela for oil...

And Vichy Democrats wonder why their approval rating is down in the Mariana Trench. Fuck this damn party

It'll be renamed to "El Hombre" at this rate

"We hear you. We see you. Here's Liz Cheney as our middle of the road candidate. And her VP? Joe Biden"

Now that I typed this out, there's a non-zero percent chance it could come to fruition. Sorry

Ratio most often means to get a larger amount of likes than the person you're responding to. Mamdani ratioed Cuomo because he got more likes than the original post

To add to this, I saw a Fox News exit poll during the day where immigration was brought up as a topic of concern. About 55% of responses were in favor of making immigration into the US easier while 45% said it was a concern and should be made more strict. The Democratic party lets Conservatives control the narrative and are surprised when their appeasements fall short of expectations within both parties.

Anyone that brought up your points earlier this year was dog-piled and being called a tankie or Russian shill. God forbid a powerless user on this website brought up an ounce of criticism towards the party or else it was as if every loyalist was experiencing their own personal 9/11
