    I’m really very curious as to what metrics you have for what a good democratic candidate is, except for “won the democratic primary”.

      How about we start with not hating Thanksgiving? Or do you think that taking away holidays is a step forward for the country?

      Edit: I want you to point to a single clip of a DSA member being critical of another DSA member.

        I couldn’t give two shits about someone’s feelings on Thanksgiving. Why do you?

            What does “banning” it look like? Are you really so privileged that this is your concern??

            And to be clear, we’re talking about the woman that lost, right?

              Holy fuck, do you know nothing about the battles fought strictly for the right to have holidays? Why am I having to deliberate over the future of the country to people who don’t even know it’s history?

              No, I’m talking about Francesca Hong - the woman that is likely going to cause a MAGA win in the Wisconsin governor race.

                Getting rid of a specific holiday is wildly different than getting rid of all holidays. I have it on good authority that you can cook turkey and stuffing on any day you’d like.

                However, I’m more confused at your overall point now. If Thanksgiving-gate is such a huge deal, why do you think she will win?

                Maybe we should take a step and reset? What precisely are you saying?

                  She has tweets saying she would ban Halloween, that she wants to cancel Thanksgiving, she thinks Valentines Day brings out ‘the worst in humanity’, and more.

                  No, I’m talking about Francesca Hong - the woman that is likely going to cause a MAGA win in the Wisconsin governor race.

                  I think she’s going to win the Democratic candidacy. I do not think she’s going to be governor, mainly because she’s anti-American and that is literally all MAGA needs to push to ensure everyone understands what they’re voting for.

                  I can’t stress this enough, these people are not good for the United States. If your argument is that the U.S. is evil we can just stop discussing this now.

                    I appreciate the reset, thank you.

                    I think that you’re taking a page out of the MAGA playbook. You clearly have an issue with the DSA, (and maybe progressives in general?) but instead of addressing their mainstream concerns, you’re looking for the most sensational opinions of one candidate and shouting that the sky is falling.

                    People in this country are worried about keeping a roof over their heads, food on their table, affording the care to keep themselves healthy. The GOP is trying its damnedest to push us into full on fascism. There’s mind boggling amounts of corruption and grift going on in plain sight. Are you really telling me people are going to care even slightly about one candidate’s view on Valentine’s Day??

                    Come on; give me a break. The only people that will (pretend to) care about that are people that were always going to vote MAGA anyway.

                    Again, I really do appreciate the reset here. We were definitely talking past ench other for a bit there.
