If we do have a 28 election, surely they'll have a primary and not just run whoever the leadership picks and proceed to campaign on our civic duty to prevent fascism (every 4 years)
Yeah, I think they just want to lose at this point. Maybe that was always the point.
I hate the democrats sooooooooo much. They are just gods damn out of touch.
hahahaha! god their even more stupid than I thought. maybe they should go look for other candidates. Seems like half the country doesn't want a women as president. They sure as heck don't want a person of color either.
Gender or race had nothing to do with her losing, she's a right wing POS posing as a progressive
Alternate take: She was told to move to the right by advisors. Politics is nasty business.
Cops are always right wing
and AGs are not cops. Stop repeating the propaganda designed for morons to repeat ad nauseum
She locked up people, she was a fucking cop
Her pattern this campaign was the same as her pattern in the primary, start out as a mainstream progressive talking about changing the system and fighting Republicans, then after getting phone calls from donors and listening to establishment advisors abandon it all for overly restrictive benefit programs and empty words. Almost every time she said something good she'd walk it back over the next week.
This doesn't mean she should try again but finally buck her advisors and be her true self. Her deference to the sensibilities of rich donors is part of who she is.
Nah, the bigot vote isn't nearly as important as the fact that people are sick of establishment politicians. People want change and they see that in Trump but not in Harris.
The editor in me has so much to say about that.
No
I rwad the article and honestly I kinda wish I didn't. This is stupid.
It's not stupid so much as the definition of insanity. But oligarchs gotta oligarch.
.....
Don't.
We do not need Sanders or AOC, they are both party sheepdogs whose sole function is to keep disenfranchised voters rounded up in the party with the illusion of they stick around long enough they will have a seat at the table.
Correct. Doesn't mean Sanders was wrong or couldn't have wide appeal. Dude's a fucking independent. So, no financial backing. Follow the money, said everyone, especially W. Mark Felt. He had the opportunity to speak to the working class in the general, and we simply couldn't have that. What was he supposed to do? Run in the GOP primary or be as rich as Perot?
Bold of them to assume they will be allowed to win in 2028.
