What are the odds of Kamala bitching about this election for the rest of her life?

100% lol. Pretty sure Jimmy Carter and his wife, who died last year, complained about losing the election for the rest of their lives. Rosalynn was very upset. I think Gerald Ford also wanted to run again in 1980 to prove that he could win an election and be elected democratically, but the Republicans refused. I have no idea if Ford was angry with the Republicans, as Carter is at the Democrats. I think after Carter wrote that book about Israel, they basically kicked him out of the party for daring to say that Israel is practicing apartheid.

To be fair, the CIA did do some actual fuckery to make Carter lose

The whole Iran hostage thing was such obvious bullshit, Reagan runs on being the big strong conservative who can get the hostages back and it actually happens like a week into his presidency just like that? I don’t buy that, I’d bet anything the CIA had an under the table deal with Iran especially since it meant having their man HW as the VP

Not that Carter isn’t a war criminal piece of shit too but he’s kinda like JFK in that he was slightly less shitty than average and even that was too much for the people calling the shots

I’m pretty sure the Reagan hostage deal stuff is actually confirmed, I don’t remember though whether it was tied into his illegal arms sales to Iran or if it was entirely separate from that

The Reagan stuff is confirmed, has been for years. It’s not a conspiracy theory anymore, now it’s just regular conspiracy

Jimmy Carter still being alive is my personal Mandela effect I could have sworn he’s died like 4 times now

I mean he’s old enough that statistically he really should have, he’s over 100 now so it’s a bit shocking when you remember that he hasn’t. I always remember he’s alive just because of those factoids though. He’s been alive for 40% of the entire history of this despicable settler colonial fash country.

I think he survived literally multiple types of cancer using experimental drugs, even a deadly brain tumor.

I was wondering when we’re gonna get pictures of her hiking through the woods wondering where it all went wrong.

We’re going to get so many Kamala memes saying “I told you so” in the next 4 years

It is 2032 I’m sitting in a disused parking garage for shelter choking on polluted air from the refineries that exploded after the last cat 5 hurricane hit.

Someone next to me says “if it weren’t for those fucking Bernie bros in 2016….”

I throw my self off the building

Surely this will be the last time she runs… right? I mean she didn’t even win her own state in the primaries the first time around.
