that I didn’t get what I wanted when Hillary wasn’t elected. So that wasn’t everyone’s goal? Electing Hillary? The self-reveals are truly astounding.

I’m so glad blue California isn’t revolution territory. Experience, realism, fighting Trump, not other Democrats. That’s the ticket. Anti-Establishment, AIPAC, revolution…not for Californians.

1. The "She slept her way to the top" theme.
This is a favorite, because those ass monkeys can't imagine any other way a mere woman could possibly rise to a position of power.

2. The"racial confusion" theme
"She can't make up her mind whether she's black", "she says she's black, but she's really not", "how come she claimed to be black all of a sudden," etc.

And one of my all-time favorites: "She says she's Asian, but she doesn't look Asian," (from people who assume Asia = east Asia, because they don't know Asia is a HUGE continent that includes all kinds of people, including 1.47 billion Indians).

The irony here is that they don't like her is because she's not white, but they can't bring themselves to admit that, so they make up all kinds of other excuses that touch on race.

3. The "open borders" theme
"She wants open borders," "she let in too many 'illegal aliens' when she was border czar (which she never was, but they remember firmly convinced that she was)," etc.

This is the closest most of them come to naming an actual policy of hers that they disagree with. Like the first 2 themes, it has little to do with any actual facts. Trump has been hammering on the idea of 'illegal aliens' pouring across the border and ruining the country since he announced his candidacy in 2015. With no actual evidence, they believed him then and have continued to do so ever since, even as his rhetoric on the subject has become more and more untethered to reality.

If all of the above sounds like a bunch of excuses, congratulations, you're absolutely right! The bottom line is that Trump’s supporters just don't like anyone who opposes Trump. They are unwilling to consider any opposing candidate with an even partially open mind and eager to latch onto any excuse to assume the worst about anyone who runs against him.

None of that has to do with policy such as fair tax rates, costs of insurance, food, fuel, etc. That is one lame-ass cult.

Minnesota leader of Abandon Harris campaign says Harris loss was ‘beyond worth it’

As final election results continue to trickle in, one group has had a ripple effect since the presidential primaries in March.

During Minnesota’s primary, 19 percent of voters cast ballots as uncommitted in protest of the war in Gaza.

For over a year since the war began, many of these uncommitted voters demanded a cease-fire and when that didn’t happen, groups like the Abandon Biden (now the Abandon Harris) campaign emerged and rallied against the Democratic ticket.

Their website states, that one of their goals is for “people of conscience to punish Kamala Harris at the ballot box and then take the ‘blame’ — or claim the credit — for her electoral defeat.”
https://www.mprnews.org/story/2024/11/08/minnesota-leader-of-abandon-harris-campaign-says-harris-loss-was-beyond-worth-it

It was more important to "punish Democrats" that to consider the consequences.

given that the resumé sounds just like her, although it missed the totally hamfisted dig she tried to take at Ukraine on her way out of the door.

She's been a known Putin shill since before Fatso's first term.
