100%. It wasn’t just the genocide though. They alienated the progressives. Kamala was scared to actually talk outside of mostly scripted messaging and interviews. They didn’t provide and explain strong progressive policies. To me, Kamala was pretty indistinguishable from Joe Biden and other corporate Democrats. Her picking Tim Walz was a great move and she was way up in the polls. Had she leaned into him more, broke from Joe Biden (even thrown him under the bus a bit), and turned to other progressives for advice rather than the DNC corporate consultants, she would have won.
The Dems will always alienate their leftward sections, they serve monopolist capitalists just like the republicans do. It’s time for liberals to be radicalized and read theory, join orgs, and join leftists.
If anyone wants a good intro list on Marxist theory, I can provide one.

But Joe Biden beat Trump. Seems like she could have won by being more like Joe Biden.
Biden beat Trump during COVID and when Trump was the incumbent. Being, “not the other guy” works a lot better when you aren’t currently the president when the bad things are happening.
Given high inflation that was never balanced by wages or deflation and an ongoing sponsored genocide, “more of the same” and a near complete lack of major policy positions means hewing close to the unpopular incumbent.
Also she literally never won a primary. She lost to Yang lmao. This was donors shoving a pro-gemocide empty suit candidate down peoples’ throats. “Winning” is a secondary goal to choosing the candidates.
Male. And white.
They always will, they serve the same donors and bourgeois powers. Marx and Lenin are vindicated by the passage of time. They were not clairvoyant, they just accurately analyzed the systems around them and saw what necessarily follows from their directions.
Everyone, get organized, read theory, learn self-defense and self-sufficiency. A good primer is Blackshirts and Reds. Defend yourselves and protect each other.

I think it’s important to read Blackshirts and Reds to see why “red fash” is a gross misunderstanding of Marxist movements. You don’t have to agree with Marxism, but you must understand that Marxist movements have served the working class, and fascist movements the Capitalist class.
Myself, I am a Marxist-Leninist. There are good Anarchists that do good practice and good work, don’t get me wrong, but in this moment sectatian nonsense like “red-fash” splits and divides what should be a more solidified movement.
Trump IS genocide.
Trump cares about Trump. That’s the long and short of his ideology. He only cares about genocide to the extent that it might benefit him, otherwise he’d rather play golf.
Ah, so the choice was between genocide or genocide.
I guess if both sides are evil then people just rationally choose the side that’s at least honest.
I thought Trump was garbage.
¿Por que no los dos?
This cycle the DNC, for the first time, could get the upwardly mobile suburbanite Reagan voters they’ve been salivating over my whole life. They don’t care about winning, they’re just happy that hippies don’t vote for them anymore while Cheneys do. The DNC is not a political party now, it’s a North Virginia cocktail party.
