So far it's Harris and Newsom. Cool. Cool cool cool.
No, I'm not worried at all. Who said I'm worried?
Ugh. Maybe Mark Kelly will run? Who knows
No. Just no. Other countries cn rise above misogyny, but not us. Dems need to drop this whole "please the right" schtick too. We need someone actually progressive, someone who doesn't ride the Israeli money train, and alas - is male. Bonus points for not playing the "we need to forgive and forget" card either. It didn't work, and a lot of these assholes are just regurgitating the South. They lost, but never faced punishment. If we let racism slide, we let them build confidence and organize.
So long as there's a proper primary I don't see the harm in this, not really. I can't see her running a good enough campaign to make it through the primaries, at least not without also having a good enough campaign to beat the fascist party after Trump.
the key here is “proper primary.” I can’t remember a time when they’ve had one that wasn’t fucked up in some way.
Imagine you are so hated you are the runner up to Trump and then not having self realization and needing to get it reiterated to you at the expense of the well being of the entire country.
People seem to have forgotten the only reason she was the candidate was because Biden dropped out and she was the VP.
She got practically no votes in the primaries.
Oh for fuck sakes! C'mon lady! Sacrifice! Let a new face do it! There's 300 million of us. I'm sure someone else can be better than you know who. Go do something else to help democracy. I'd vote Beyonce.
Are you fucking stupid? You lost to Donald Fucking Trump—you know, the racist, fascist pedophile rapist? You lost to that guy, and you'd be running against his specter and his legacy, the racist and xenophobic sentiments that still run deep in this country.
What is uniting the American people, however, is a rising class consciousness, not establishment Dems like you. We already tried voting for "not-Trump," and y'all squandered the opportunity to appease the wealthy, expand the police state, send more bombs to Israel, and treat all the people shouting "Danger!" like children, rather than securing our democracy and standing against genocide.
Fuck. Right. Off.
Either there will be a socialist president in 2028 or democracy will be dissolved by 2036.
It's gonna get dissolved then lmao, but imho it's happening right now it will be complete before the midterms.
I'm not saying she should.
But the "I fucking told you so" campaign strategy might actually be somewhat effective for a certain percentage of swing voters.
assuming that fair elections are still a thing at that time i'd say she would be guaranteed the win.
which of course is exactly why they're bringing this Dem stooge back.
after all it is her turn
What do you mean fair elections? AIPAC would still get their puppet. Just from the other side of the aisle.
That strategy would be effective in pushing them toward candidates and parties that don't them swallow their ego and admit mistakes as a condition of support.
People that lose to Donald fucking Trump should fuck off forever.
At this point, that's pretty much all of us
"I gave away the presidency to Trump, so I'm going to try it again"
They'll do everything but what will actually get them elected willingly. Neo-liberals need to wake up and realize it's either going to have progress away from capitalism or just all of us drowning in fascism because they refuse much needed and necessary change.
I mean, she'd be better than Trump. But that's such a ridiculously low bar.
Surely the Dems can come up with a better candidate that her, Gavin Newsom, or some similarly uninspiring/greasy candidate. Right? Right???
