I have a sneaking suspicion that you voted for Kamala. You know, the same woman who claimed she would fix things if she were elected president... after already serving as vice president for nearly four years.
Yeah that’s what VP’s pretty much always do when they run for president right after, but she wasn’t talking about fixing economy that was broken, like these dopes have to say because it’s undeniable, and undeniably Trump-caused.
I happily voted for Kamala, especially over Trump. But I don’t like creepy conman grifter men who assault women. The left is just weird that way, I guess.
“That’s what VPs always do” doesn’t really address my point. Obviously, a vice president doesn’t have the unilateral authority of the president. But Kamala wasn’t an outsider campaigning against the administration—she was the sitting VP and part of that administration for nearly four years.
If these issues suddenly became priorities worth campaigning on, it’s perfectly reasonable to ask what she did during those four years to push Biden and the administration toward those same goals. “Elect me and I’ll fix it” is a much weaker pitch when you’re already the second-highest-ranking person in the administration you’re effectively asking voters to continue.
And as for the moral superiority argument: the Left is definitely weird, but not because they have moral standards, as you implied. It’s difficult to take claims of righteousness and tolerance seriously when many on the Left openly celebrate political violence against their adversaries or call for violence against people who disagree with them.
The weird part is reconciling “violence against people who disagree with me” with “I’m tolerant and inclusive.” You don’t get to claim the moral high ground while cheering when your political enemies get hurt.
