Remember when we thought he was hosed and were laughing about how he totally wasted this moment?
The thing is, he DID waste it.
And then Kamala hired Hillary's campaign advisers, got rid of her 2 most popular slogans (We're not going back + They are weird) and started hugging Dick Cheney's right-wing daughter. Kamala's campaign is somehow more embarrassing and incompetent than Hillary's, and that's saying something.
I choose to believe that it’s the happy birthday tweet that did her in
Nah, objectively and logically it was when she said
must go.
The more I see this happening the more I believe it
my testicles said assad must go
My dog before I take him to the vet like:
It is known to the wise.
Alright I’m not gonna lie that’s funny as fuck lmao
I'm going to put the Assad meme on a material analysis, because I do think it has predictive power.
There are only two types of people in the West that know about Assad. Those two are (a) Leftists, and (b)
So if you are bringing up Assad in a general conversation, those are by and large the only people who would care. That begs the question whenever Assad is brought up by a politician: "Who is your audience?" For politicians the audience is overwhelmingly for Government and their corporations. That means politicians are ignoring domestic issues like (for example...) 40MM Americans are in poverty or school shootings or that all basic goods shot up 20%+ in price in a few years. Those are hardly the only issues, but you must put all of them on the backburner to care about some leader in the Middle-East. Thus the meme, and the attention on Assad in general, is an excellent display of disconnect from actual living breathing people. As such, Assad-obsessed politicians generally lose to other politicians that focus more on their electorate.
tl;dr:
is code for politicians ignoring domestic issues with the inevitable consequences 
She really tried to get all the jinx's
