I really fucking wish she wouldn’t.
He’s going to get Bernie’d.
Bernie fucked himself. Look, I love Bernie and have been a fan of his since the 90’s but his staff choices were awful and their behavior toward people they wanted assistance from was just stupid.
I never considered Bernie skilled enough to be president, still don’t. He’s great at getting people fired up, but organizationally, he’s a mess and I think he would have set the progressive movement back by failing spectacularly as president. Especially with a still entrenched Democratic establishment.
We have to take the party from the ground up. It’s the only way.
It’s hard to ignore all the political candidates that came in to dilute the votes and then only to drop out. If it was a horse race, I would say it looked very fixed.
And yet he could’ve negotiated with Warren for one of them to drop out.
You’re kind of making op’s point- he’s not politically savvy.
That’s true, he didn’t want to play ball when he could have played along and backstabbed them all if he got elected.
In a sense Bernie is already a backstabber. He becomes a Democrat when he wants to use their resources. Notice that as soon as the election was over in 2008, he left the party.
It’s like inviting yourself over to someone’s house for dinner. They’re happy to have you at first but then you start making demands about what’s for dinner, who’s getting what portions and then demand to sit in the comfiest chair and watch TV, etc…
He’s like a guy doing a booty call. He didn’t help build the party but he’s perfectly happy to use their resources when it suits him.
Or another apt analogy is someone who uses union resources without paying dues. Unions have to represent all the workers, whether they’re actually part of the union or not. There are workers out there who will stiff the union and talk shit about them but then come crying to them when they need help. Bernie was willing to use the resources, organizational infrastructure and name of the Democratic party but wasn’t willing to help grow or strengthen the party, either before or after he decided he need the Democratic party.
You can’t treat people like that and expect them to receive you warmly.
Abdul is running a great race. The biggest weakness he has is that some democrat voters will (unjustly) find him “too radical.”
This seems like a good move to make sure the old guard isn’t scared off come election day.
This isn’t Abdul endorsing Kamala, it’s the other way around.You make a good point. I just despise Kamala.
I love the video of Gillibrand coming out of some Democrat meeting, I think it was all senators, gritting her teeth while smiling saying, “we’re going to fight hard for El Sayed”.
Yeah eat it, Gillibrand. “Enough is enough.”
she wants to maintain relevance, and El-Sayed probably wants to try and reach the people that thinks she’s still relevant.
She needs to make sure the Dems never actually get any power, and can just continue to grief the GOP as they cash in as a hapless opposition.
Trump didn’t win, Hillary and Kamala LOST.
Exactly… Let’s find someone else! Literally anyone else. AOC doesn’t want the heat? Fine, there has to be a thousand different people who are as capable and charismatic.
Well its certainly a step up from when she campaigned with liz cheney but her time passed
From Piker to Harris, big tent energy I guess lol
For the sake of us all, I hope it pays off and Abdul knows what he’s doing…
Yeah, everyone can see the cynicism Kamala is trying for here. She wants a little of that progressive popularity to rub off on her to continue her political career. The silver lining here is that Kamala, representing the Establishment Democrats, sees where the wind is blowing. The Establishment Dems are realizing that they’re gonna have to go leftwards of they wanna remain politically relevant, so we gotta keep pushing left while they are on the back foot.
