all this time later and she cant make a clear statement on human rights and wether a genocide occurred on her watch. She’d just trying to weasel a beneficial position. Theres no way she’ll take a legitimate moral stance on this. She’s hopeless.
I swear to God if they try to shove her or greasy Gavin down our throats I’m going to lose my mind.
You know they will.
an unpopular opinion perhaps: out of all Dem presidents on memory Biden did the most in terms of progressive agenda and by extension so did Harris. But that duo never went full-in on progressive values or anything else, really, so they have mainly half-assed it. So I have no compelling reason to believe that they were progressive as much as they are anti-progressive. Her reaching out to Mamdani could be interpreted as a genuine reach out trying to escape typical DNC tether. Fact is her lackluster performance last time does indicate she’s a poor “performer” thus a poor choice to win against raging republicanz.
She was given many opportunities to do this when she was Vice and actively refused then was disrespectful about it when she was protested for it. People don’t forget that kind of blatant slap in the face. This “effort” if real is going to be far too late for many.
She thought neoliberals would accept her, that she was Biden’s VP pick because she was being groomed to be a leader.
She wasn’t, she was just there to make the Biden ticket not a blank piece of copy paper. She was never intended to get the last nomination, but by a fluke she got it handed to her.
The neoliberals will (already have really) pivot to Newsom, so she’s trying desperately to rebrand herself as progressive after actually saying:
You asked me what is the difference between Joe Biden and me — that will be one of the differences. I’m going to have a Republican in my Cabinet,
Like, she tried to move the window right from Biden…
She sure as shit ain’t peogressive
Feel free to walk away and make sure another fucking republican fascist takes over…that will make everything better…
Do I want someone better? yes. If she’s on the ticket am I going to vote for her? Also yes, hell fucking yes.
Anyone with a D next to their name gets my vote this year, I’m not fucking around.
You do you, I’m done holding my nose to vote and I absolutely will never vote for Republican light, controlled opposition establishment Democrats. I think many people agree with me.
I think many people agree with me.
An enormous group of what used to be the Dem base is absolutely right there with you. More than enough to destroy the DNC if they dont pull their heads out of their asses.
Well know who to blame when trump light makes it in in 2028. It will all be on you. Could have stopped it and didn’t will be carved on your tombstone.

ShredderrFeeder, I’m not voting for genociders of either party. I’ll write in a third party name or leave my presidential vote blank. Its my vote, not yours, and I dont take criticism from people I dont respect. I dont respect people with your half assed helpless hostage logic. Feel free to cry or have a tantrum on the floor if it makes you feel better.
If you don’t vote, you don’t get a say. If you piss your vote away on someone who doesn’t have a chance, you also don’t get a say.
No crying, no tantrum. I am lucky in that I’m a middle-aged white-man so I likely won’t have any issue survivng the next Trump…
But I feel sorry for the marginalized communities who WILL (and ARE) suffering… They don’t stand a chance if the republicans get another term…
And this is how they keep getting worse, blind devotion with no risk of consequences. The VBNMW cult is worse than MAGA
It’s not blind devotion, it’s self preservation. It’s “Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good”
This is a center-left country, that’s a fact. Would I vote for AOC for president in a primary? Absolutely. If she doesn’t win am I going to throw up my hands and give up? Hell no.
Seeking to punsh the country because your guy / girl didn’t get in is childish.
And how does not voting help?
I’m not the one with blind devotion. I’ll vote for someone I don’t like to keep someone I positively hate out of office…
Brother the fucking primaries havent evem started and you’re starting with the ‘you dont get to vote for who you want’ shit. You keep giving them cover they’ll keep using it to lose elections. Kamala lost every swing state and has never won a single primary delagate via ballot and you’re acting like shes inevitable? Kick rocks.
I follow one rule - vote the furthest ‘left’ in every election, but VOTE.
Last thing I’m going to do is stay home and allow the fascists another 4 years to destroy this fucking country.
True, but this far before the election there should still be momentum for someone further to the left than Newsom.
Another four years of a centrist Democrat is just stalling for four years before the Heritage Foundation manages to install another Republican on the backs of American transphobes and racists to push the country even further away from where it needs to be.
SO show up and vote in the primaries I will too. but if your guy doesn’t win, don’t accelerate the fascist victories by getting your panties in a bunch and staying home.
My hope is that 4 more years of a centrist in the White house will give the far left a chance to make their case… Mamdani is a great example of that case… Steady progress is going to win…
As I’ve said before, were a center-left country. Regardless of what’s best, that’s the best we’re going to do until people get educated on the subject…
That’s literally what we’ve been doing and it hasn’t ever worked out like that.
When Dems don’t do enough, people go back to voting R.
No, when ideological purists stay home, democrats lose. It has nothing to do with what they do. The same 35% of idiots vote for republicans in every election.
But when the left doesn’t show up to combat it, they win.
And how’s that working for the world?
Can’t wait until the VBNMW crowd ignores, again, who she really is and blame us when she loses, again. Anyone that manages to lose every single fucking swing state and has never won a single electoral vote needs to stay the fuck out of politics.
