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

It’s literally just a boiler plate acknowledging a current situation post.
Fucking hell you guys.
Yes the current situation is fascists praising fascists.
Always has been.
Yeah, we’re definitely better off with her not being president. Much happier with what we got instead.
We would be best off without either of them.
Sorry, that’s the best we can do as a country
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
You know if they run a fair game next time.
When have they ever?
The game was unfair since 90s according to Adam Curtis. This just the late stage of it.
It’s been unfair since 1776.
Yeah, but if they were that effective, they wouldn’t let this happen either
All “damage control” ever did for US progressives was embolden people like Harris. Yea, since they put off standing up for themselves for so fuckin’ long this is the kinda shit that has to be dealt with but with all the people seemingly ok with the need for a civil uprising, possibly even a civil war, to fix things I mean really this could be worse.
The next time an election comes around, whenever that is, we’ll all get to see if ya’ll really mean it or if giving up on the whole country is really gunna be the right call.
It’s called tact. Adults generally have it.
People can say literally nothing.
Cheney doesn’t deserve tact. All he deserves is a piss-soaked grave.
No one gives a shit what Harris has to say on the matter. She lost and then fucking bounced to go sign a book deal because she doesn’t actually give a fuck. But she does love hanging out with Liz Cheney so there’s always that.
She accuses Jill Stein of not doing anything between elections, and then after the election she goes on vacation and then writes a book about how she lost. She didn’t even attend No Kings! What has she been doing to fight this tyranny she warned us about?
“You just don’t accuse a PASTOR of SEX ABUSE Jesus Christ Marissa I better never hear of this again, I mean EVER.”
Hey, I don’t know that I care that Miss Newly Irrelevant Politician Lady is posting a politically motivated condolences post and I know we’d be better off if she had won. But Dick Cheney was an aggressively evil piece of shit and doesn’t deserve tact.
Short term, yeah, we’re a lot better off. However, there’s no way we get the progressive wave we got along with the strong potential to more than flip both the house and senate without all this pain first.
I think that was well crafted.
- No mention of “good” or any other positive in connection with his work.
- mentioned dedication to his work, which is the minimum you can say without insults
- “thoughts” without the “prayers”, that is a really nice slapp :D
I’m sure there is more in there that i missed, but this is basically a “good riddance, finally” in terms that can be understood as polite.
I honestly hadn’t thought of it this way, I think you’re right. But it’s a little oblique when silence is a perfectly valid option.
I love how weak Americans are that ya’ll think this is some kind of secretly scathing message. Land of the brave but they can’t just fuckin’ say anything outloud out of an intense fear of not being “proper”.
Land of the cowards, more like.
BlueAnon shit.
I mean, she could have just not said anything.
and skip the chance to NOT praise his achievements, NOT offer the proverbial “Prayer” parts of “thoughts and prayers”, and tell his family that he devoted his life to work instead of them? I think this was as good as a public figure can do a “fuck you”
except that she said she’s saddened to learn
what is there to be sad about? I guess she can be sad for his family
Maybe she wanted to be there to watch
I’m not into purity tests except for this one. If the idea of dead Dick Cheney makes you any kind of sad beyond “I’m sorry he didn’t suffer more” you are simply wrong and I won’t have it.
Saddened to learn is about as mild and passive as you can get.
I can be happy as a pig in shit, and still be “saddened to learn” something.
It was carefully chosen, sure. I think what people are reacting to is the fact that respectability in American politics might have run out of runway at this point.
It is somewhat well put together, but the fact that it was said at all makes it seem that she hasn’t quite lost the desire to connect with conservatives rather than those who support her own party.
She had so much potential, if only she had focused on progressive values and the people that would have been energized by hearing her promote them.
Well at the very least, she lost the presidency and will probably never win it.
You cant condemn a war criminal without implicating the last 20 years of US foreign intervention he started.
That’s standard politician that is.
Something in the world happens that does not involve them, or in any way require a comment from them.
Them: “oh I got to make a non statement about this”.
Wish we could have someone who’s real.
No one is real unless they’re so incredibly impulsive that they’re in jail.
“Why don’t we win?? We’re not celebrating ruthless, vile, racists human beings like the other party”
Narrator: But alas, they were. It’s still a mystery why progressive people despise them so much, they choose to not to vote.
You think its an own blaming progressives for the loss? No progressives are struggling to find reasons to vote dems in that elections.
They. Are. All. The. Same.
I was always taught never to say anything about the dead unless it’s good. He’s dead. Good!
Moms Mabley
Meh, boiler plate “Thoughts and Prayers”. It’s as meaningless as a campaign promise.
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.
