I was 10, and saved money from babysitting and mowing neighbors' yards so I could buy my first vinyl. I have no regrets.

Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:
Welp, it's a been a few weeks, but I have a new Substack up.
I know some people use some stack like BlueSky, some like a blog, some to repost everything, and I really wanna figure out how to use this platform better. I welcome any feedback.
2016 wasn't about Hillary. It was about the future of SCOTUS.
2024 wasn't about Kamala. It was about preventing a felon from becoming President and (waves arms around) doing ALL this.
But the GOP successfully made it about them. When it was really about our collective lack of FORESIGHT.
"That he would sell out his allies in an instant just to curry favor with a dictator"
👆🤷♂️ There's one.
They both said trump was bad news basically. That he wouldn’t do shit for us and that he only cares about enriching himself. Hillary called his supporters a box of deplorables. She got lots of shit for it. But she was right about that too. That’s why people say they were right about everything
They weren’t “predicting”. They were trying to warn people. Both women are astute observers of people and would have read P25. Most Americans don’t observe others critically or read much at all.
They put 2 & 2 together and knew most Americans had not. Far too many people just won’t believe women.
... increasing Executive Branch power. Removing the checks & balances. Harris also said repro rights screwed, & Trump will be a dictator from Day One. Because unlike some, they & a lot of us heard Trump. We knew exactly what he was going to do. Didn't need to be a fortune teller. He said it aloud.
... and "[HRC famously predicted that Trump's tax plans would primarily benefit himself, corporations, and the wealthy, which aligned with his 2017 tax cuts."
Kamala: she did say he's going to implement Project 2025, citing specifically destruction of Board of Education, and...
I am getting massive list from googling. Too many to repro here. Or do Alt Text for.
However Hilary, in 2016 said Trump would: Use justice system to get his enemies on false charges. Claim Elections Rigged. She said he'd break NATO, make enemies of your friends, Repro Rights vs Trump's pet SCOTUS,
Not Like this ...I'm 66 years and I've never witnessed such ignorance rampant corruption among a political party. Espionage, Insurrection, Child molestation, rape, tax evasion, 5-time draft dodger has won presidency twice....unbelievable AND YES, the Democratic women warned us yet Republicans voted
I see so much bad faith from third-party haters that it’s rarely worth taking seriously. The most common is people trying to claim that there’s no significant difference between “Killer Kamala” or “Genocide Joe” versus Donald Trump. Trump, the guy doing ethnic cleansing and trying to start WWIII.
look around at the state of the country and the world right now.
If you really understood the evil tRUmp was capable of, then not being tRUmp should have been enough!
Otherwise you are claiming that you expected the same level of unmitigated lawless evil from Harris, which is utterly ridiculous.
Exactly. If they knew how fucking shit Trump presidencies were going to be (which duh), then why didn’t they run better campaigns? Why didn’t they have better platforms? Why? Because they thought they were owed the presidencies. They thought that simply not being Trump was enough.
throat of people criticizing the Dems for their constant failures, but would be actively trying to understand why the Dems failed so they could fix the problems. But they don't do that because they just want to be right and ultimately, they don't care until it affects their status.
That's what.
They're expressing their shock with the state of the world and at the same time, assuaging their need to be right. They don't engage in politics to make things better, but as part of their pantomime of playing "society". If they were actually engaged with politics, they wouldn't jump down the
💯
I was shocked to learn that not many voters have spent time to actually read Project 2025 and they are surprised to find out. I was terrified when I read it realizing that would be disastrous for everyone except billionaires. On election night, I had severe panic attacks.
The thing is that there’s a lot of people that did not think this bad stuff would happen.
When Trump tried to belittle Clinton over the nuclear deal with Iran that she and Obama made, she said, "At least I have a plan".
Clinton was right that Trump wouldn't have actual plans and it would be the world's stupidest person doing the dumbest most self-serving shit possible.
Quite possible. Just general misogyny. How naive I was to think Kamala could actually win…the breadth of the racism & misogyny in the U.S. is breathtaking. It’s still hard 2 believe, tho, after having lived thru Trump & Covid, that millions would vote 4 him ago…bec price of eggs was high?
I've read that male voters didn't like Hillary because she reminded them of teachers and librarians...women who corrected them when they were wrong.
They both described specific decisions/actions Trump would likely take, and every time they made such a statement, it turned out to be absolutely correct.
Not to mention her telling us of a Russian/GOP global conspiracy attempting to overthrow democracy, and calling the people who blindly supported it because they were racist misogynist idiots “deplorables.”
She had them dead to rights.
Yep. I think the biggest would be HRC on the existential importance of SCOTUS and MVP on just how seriously to take Project 2025 despite being dismissed over and over.
3. Harris said Trump’s tariffs would lead to higher inflation.
4. HRC said in 2016, that Trump’s idea of a “deportation force” was illegal. Original name for ICE I guess.
The rest you can google.
This somehow does not sound like a good faith question. However if 1 of your 18 followers is really curious.
1. HRC said Trump was “putin’s puppet,” 10 yrs ago.
2. Harris said that trump was going to bring the military into the streets (for which she chastised.) /1
Hillary called Trump a Russian puppet.
Kamala said Trump would use the military against American citizens
Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris told the public what they thought Trump was going to do and Trump did it. We are living with the mess that they predicted. The shit we are living through now was not inevitable.
She didn't "alienate her base".
People who thought there was no difference between KDH and tRUmp were
NOT
HER
