    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.”

    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)

                  Classic Trump voter. You think because she’s not the vice president any more she lost all her money and forgot everybody she knows and interacts with a on a daily basis? Do you all have object permanence issues or is it just you?

        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…

          Except no friends were made. Gaza is still getting blasted and nothing has changed except the fracturing of the only resistence to a dictator that exists.

          Fail fail and fail.

            if Harris and the dems are your only resistance…

            plus israel is, and has always been, a western colony. dont pretend the west would take action against one of their most important allies.

    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.

    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
