Democratic leaders are just some of the stupidest cunts imaginable.
I wholeheartedly believe Democratic leaders from this time period will be remembered through acidic caricature as a way to grapple with the damage that was locked in hundreds of years ago during their lifetime. They will become essentially comedia dell'arte characters used to point out how foolish more modern analogues of them are and to remind people how dangerous it is to rely upon ideologically bankrupt centrist cowards to fight fascism.
I'll vote blue, no matter who, but I will vote for everyone else before Harris in the primaries.
THIS. If you want your voice to be heard, the primaries are where it's at.
Imagine if Trump won the Dem nomination lol
Jesus Christ, we don't need Hillary 3.0.
We need someone who can say something and it's like...actual fucking words that normal people can relate to. Not something that was written in committee by some consultants working off polling.
"Don't rape kids. Don't violate the Constitution. Everyone gets to vote."
None of this is complicated.
Or we could get someone who's a batshit wingnut radical and says things like:
'I think Americans should get health care without going bankrupt'
'I think big companies shouldn't be allowed to pay their workers so little they need food stamps to survive'
'I don't think private equity should be allowed to make housing unaffordable'
'I don't think we should allow ingredients that cause cancer in food'
etc.
Yeah I knew Democrats were in on this shit but if they run Kamala in 2028 then they're 100% complicit. There's 0% chance she wins
I do need capital. And votes. Wanna know why? "I have a dream." That one day, NO person in this nation will control their OWN destiny. A land of the TRULY controlled, dammit. A nation of FORCE, not words. Ruled by STRENGTH, not committee. Where the law changes to suit the PAC, not the citizen. Where power and justice are still where they belong: in the hands of the billionaires!
Where no man is free to think -- to act -- for himself! Praise all these limp-dick lawyers and chicken-shit bureaucrats. Praise this 24/7 Internet spew of trivia and celebrity bullshit. Praise "American pride". Praise the media! Praise all of it! America is diseased. Rotten to the core. There's no saving it -- we need to preserve it as it is.
Keep the slate as it. PRESERVE IT! And with the rot, old America will stay. Unevolved, and tamed! The weak will be purged, and the richest will thrive -- free to live as they see fit, they will make America GREAT AGAIN!
What the hell are you talking about?
You still don't get it. I'm using war as a business to get elected... so I can do war as a business! In my old America, people will die and kill for what PACs BELIEVE! For money, for oil! For what they're told is right. Every man will be forced to fight PAC wars!
She needs to course correct a tad to capture the swing voter and sleepers.
Unironically, Senator Armstrong would have been far better than anything we've been stuck with in the past 30 years. Starting forever wars, war crimes, shady MIC dealings, and trafficking minors is just par for the presidenct at this point, and he at least holds to his principles. Really, he could easily run as a centrist Dem since he wasn't raping the kids and just making child soldiers from them.

So this means JD Vance will be president in 2028?
can we just start chanting "fuck off" every time she appears in public?
Oh hell naw
So long as there is a real primary, then let them try to shove her down our throats.
There is no real primary. Not until all primaries happen at the same time.
Right now the first state gets a full slate of choices, the last state may as well not even bother voting because the winner's already declared victory.
I'd still take her over MAGA, any day.
If she wins the nomination, then MAGA wins the presidency.
Please don't be stupid.
Good for you, that is irrelevant because empty centrist, corporate politicians like her will never win against MAGA.

Biden did
Barely? It should have been a landslide and Biden was able to scrape his way into office as an old white guy DEI hire because of how catastrophically Trump dropped the ball on Covid.
And then he went on to destroy the democratic party base with his bribe-induced genocide support. Centrism was mistrusted before biden and now its reviled.
If she's nominated, it's a fix. Classic authoritarian playbook: maintain the illusion of democracy by propping up an opponent that you aren't likely to lose to. Then, stuff the ballot boxes anyway.
The first part of that was Hillary Clinton's entire campaign strategy. None of the Republicans wanted him as their primary candidate.
Cute that US still think they will have elections after the orange buffoon. November will be very interesting, and maybe an eye opener for the remaining septics: I'll say it here now, trump is a fascist, a pedophile, a narcissist, and a dictator. He will not leave. He will use putin's playbook. The rest of the world needs to wake up now and consider the US as an antagonist, same as Russia and China. I would be delighted to be wrong, wait and see I guess.
The Democrats need to learn that they need someone that doesn't come off like a "party person" if they want to attract voters. Kamala could have had that, but her refusal to burn Biden for his failures in office while on the campaign trail the last time did a lot of harm to her chances of ever escaping that image to the average swing voter. She is no more electable to the Presidency now than Hillary Clinton.
"It's time for change!"
"What are you going to do?!"
"The SAME THING!"
"Woooo!!!"
Seriously, who strategized this thing?
