And you aren't getting what you want from Republicans either.

It's time for actual leftists.

My bias is in reality

Try again. How does this affect you directly?

But the reason they put garbage candidates forward is because they regard them as a safe bet, not too radical for some, not too weak for others. … they may be right…

How many more times does this strategy need to fail for you to stop saying "they may be right". At what point do you say progressives and leftists "may be right"?

And I'm sure people struggling to put food on the table for their families while watching our government pay for Israeli lifestyles (and their genocide) wish the same from you.

I don't see you speaking this way to people who vote for genocide supporters in the Democratic primaries.

Plenty of liberals think this is real.

Leftists are such suckers to this manipulation. I mean do you even have reasons for thinking Harris was so bad?

Supporting genocide is bad. Get that through your head and shut the fuck up already.

They don't want her to win because it would be yet another condemnation on the DNC, establishment Democrats and liberal (read: corporate first, Israel first, ego first) policy. It would be embarrassing for someone like AOC to win after their big hitters losing to Trump and MAGA.

Hey look it's another genocide supporter.

As a leftist I have a completely different take.

Obama's campaign made me realize what it was like to have a politician work for my vote. All that "hope and change" rhetoric actually worked on me. Somewhere in his eight years in office I realized he was full of shit but it gave me optimism for the future. That optimism blossomed as I listened to Sanders speeches.

So when Hillary Clinton came along and started setting herself in opposition to Sanders and ultimately defeating him I realized Hillary Clinton and the entire Democratic party think they can just assume I'll support them so long as they run against a Republican who is much much worse.

They're wrong.

Republicans haven't gotten stronger. The Democratic party has intentionally weakened itself because rather than serving the American people they want to serve corporations, Israel and their own egos.

When the DNC runs candidates who's campaign promises are status quo, corporate subsidies and serving Israel then yeah, the bigot and sexist vote becomes significant. People need to stop using that as a condemnation of the country as a whole. It's a condemnation of the two party system, a corrupt or derelict Democratic party or a "democracy" which is no longer functioning.

Meanwhile candidates who actually prioritize American voters can win without the help of bigots. Obama proved this back in 2008 and Zohran has proved things have only gotten better. Not only did he win without the bigot vote but without all the other piece of shit voters who showed up for Cuomo in the general election.

Harris was a garbage candidate. Biden was a garbage candidate. Hillary Clinton was a garbage candidate. American voters as a whole are not responsible for the abhorrent behavior by the DNC and assholes who vote for people like Biden and Cuomo in Democratic primaries.

Because they live in America! If they’ve never lived in Israel, how are they Israeli?

Because they're a citizen of Israel.

It gives influence to Israel they don’t deserve.

... Israel has direct control over who is Israeli.

Again, you seem highly motivated to dismiss this without any apparent stake. What aren't you telling me about your biases here?
