    If he pisses off donors, he’ll never be president. They’ll just pivot to someone else.

    He’s going to count on low Dem primary turnout, then being the lesser evil against whatever trump does with the Republican party.

      It’s why America won’t avert desaster, they simply won’t cut to the heart of the problem, the doners themselves.

        I mean, the DNC literally did years ago…

        It’s just billionaire owned media want to discourage primary turnout so neoliberals have a chance.

        Nothing matters more than Dem primaries. At this point general elections are what they are, most people are blindly voting by party for one reason or another. Just straight ticket one way or the other regardless of names.

        So we need to make sure when a Dem makes it to a general, it’s someone we want.

          The fun part is because the primaries aren’t an actual government election they can just use their superdelegates to choose whatever neoliberal ghoul they want anyways, like they did with Hilary

            You should read up on how that was done by Hillary funding the DNC via her “victory fund”…

            How that was the “war chest” Biden inherited and Kamala got the nomination because she had strings on it…

            How that whole time it was wielded by the neoliberals to force compliance…

            And then realize that the day the new DNC chair took over, he started dumping that money all over state parties, with extra to states we could gain seats in.

            Like bro, 3 years ago you’d have been preaching to the choir.

            But in 2026, you’re streets behind.
