She helped put us in our current condition and needs to be reminded anytime she's out in public
Yeah she made sure of that.
People didn't want her position to be criticized during the race "because she's the lesser evil."
The exact same people also don't want her position to be criticized after the race "because she's not in power."
She really needs to retire permanently from politics.
I guess some protestors woke up and thought "Today's the day that I'm going to do something which cannot possibly accomplish anything useful."
- Yeah there’s definitely more useful avenues. She has 0 political power both with the current administration and even her own party.
  It doesn’t absolve Harris of just pretending nothing was happening in her term.
- It may not seem useful to you right this second, but the former vice president actually has the ability to turn her life around and do something good, if she comes to terms with the evil she helped create. She’s still young (relatively speaking)
  
  🤦‍♂️
Sigh. What is even the point of protesting Kamala at this moment?
- So the dems don't run her in 2028.
- tbh I hope the protesters annoy her to the point where she just shuts the fuck up. not likely, but we can dream
- Trump won because she was incompetent and corrupt.
Why can't these rich assholes just vanish from the public? Nobody except blue MAGA cares about your idiotic book or anything else you and the rest of the Dems spee from your sewage mouths.
- This is utterly defeatist. Trump is infinitely worse for Gaza.
  
  i agree, obviously. but i feel this is more about sending a message to the democrat establishment, rather than to one failed candidate.
  of course they won't listen, but its the friends we make along the way...
"But thanks for rubbing that in."
I walked by that area last night. Loud and obnoxious, and of course, the ever present signs accusing Harris of doing things she had absolutely no authority to do as VP - and therefore did not do. But the bullshit signs were there anyway. Wondered why these same protesters weren’t in front of Trump’s tower all the time.
- shut up
Can she just retire already?
- Fr, go away
Morons, Americans are morons. Demanded the old man be replaced, you’re given an educated black woman instead but that’s not gonna happen in your racist, misogynist country, and even after helping trump defeat her, you guys are still going after her.
Lemmy is a good example, demanding democrats oppose trump and the moment one does you guys tear them down and bury them and cal them fascists, it’s no wonder you’re fucked
- But the educated black woman was conplete shit, it was like oh vote for Joe Biden but its a black woman 🤦‍♀️
  
  So you prefer trump?
- Purity tests abound. The GOP toes the line exceptionally well.
