Just go back to the wine, Kamala, no one cares.

Or uh, I dunno, prosecute some criminal ICE agents or something?

He and his daughter put their necks on the line to support her. So I can only expect something like this.

Noooo but muh purity test! We need to take what we can get! The DNC should have banned Mamdani from running so that Kamala could run in New York instead and if you think that's a bad idea that's just because you let your delusional perfect fantasies be the enemy of ~~the good~~ , well, ~~the okay~~ , er... the...

it’s not a “purity test”.
i wish she wouldn’t have been cheated when she won the presidency, but she’s a terrible person and terrible representative.
Dick Cheney led us into a multi-year war in Iraq based entirely on lies and made millions of dollars from it… he’s responsible for thousands of murders, ruining millions of lives, and damaging billions of lives.
“muh purity test” it’s not… it’s the “don’t praise war criminals” test
…. or maybe YOU have the WMD’s in your backyard?

This is why even democrats didn't want to vote for you Kamla, you need to do better than just being a corporate phony

[–] HalfSalesman@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago (7 children)

Yeah, we're definitely better off with her not being president. Much happier with what we got instead.

[–] Tyrq@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

This whole fiasco might result in a much stronger and more socialist left flank all in all, so I look forward to more wins like mamdani, I guess time will tell

Politicians need to learn to not comment.

Kamala wasn't involved in national politics at the same time as cheney. When cheney was last in office, Kamala was the district attorney of SF, an local office that only deals with the laws of California. No plausible working relationship between the two. They were not even interacting with the same laws. They worked in entirely different levels of government. There is no need for any statement.

Regardless of politics, any statement like this will sound disingenuous. If she knows Lynne, Liz, Mary, and the entire family well enough to have them in her thoughts, she could tell them directly. Calling someone to wish them the best in a hard time is a commendable act. Making a public statement telling other people that you care about someone else is just weird.

It's called tact. Adults generally have it.

[–] SphereofWreckening@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

Cheney doesn't deserve tact. All he deserves is a piss-soaked grave.

Sometimes less is more.

I've learned of the passing of former Vice President Dick Cheney.

Vice President Cheney was a public servant, from the halls of Congress to many positions of leadership in multiple presidential administrations.

Doug and I are keeping Lynne, their daughters Liz and Mary, and the entire Cheney family in our thoughts during this time.

This is what trying to meet in the middle with people who will never, ever vote for you looks like: you just alienate people who would normally vote for you by sounding like a freaking moron space alien.

[–] Bluewing@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

Meh, boiler plate "Thoughts and Prayers". It's as meaningless as a campaign promise.

Stuff like this reminds me why they lose to fascists. When they like to say the proto-fascists are practicing politics correctly it really waters down their message and what is at stake.

[–] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 2 weeks ago

Not surprising, her campaign was awful and as soon as she lost she was nowhere to be seen.

[–] CaptainBlinky@lemmy.myserv.one 10 points 2 weeks ago

Well at the very least, she lost the presidency and will probably never win it.

[–] Wispy2891@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

Ok, it's not polite to pull a Donald (he would 100% write posts filled with joy if Biden dies before him), but silence it's an option...
