Man I wish national Democrats were actually in favor of letting those 12 kids play badminton
Yea but they never will so the only option is to primary them.
Like Americans need to realize that not primarying democrats means they feel safe with your vote and are thus incentivized to prioritize seeking republican voters.
MAGA on the other hand literally primaried people for not being extreme enough… Only took them 6 elections if you think about it.
Agreed, and support organizations like PV that do phone banking and door knocking to help those progressive candidates win.
Also Americans need to nominate people for candidacy. What stood out the most to me in Knock Down The House was that it was AOC’s brother in law that nominated her and the grass roots organization that vetted and asked her to run.
I think a lot of competant leaders don’t run for office because they don’t believe they will even make it onto the ballot.
Democrats know they have a stranglehold on the primary process, and they know that the results of their interference with the will of the people will be interpreted as apathy on the part of the left.
In order to justify moving to the right.
Like Americans need to realize that not primarying democrats means they feel safe with your vote and are thus incentivized to prioritize seeking republican voters.
Americans liberals think that everyone but them is a Republican. And, therefore, you must trick the Republicans into voting for you be appearing to be better at Things Republicans Care About than the actual Republican on the ballot.
Clinton, Obama, and Biden all did conservative pastiche and won. Therefore, Americans would never vote for a Limousine Liberal rainbow flag hugger from Fake America’s richest city if he was talking shit about veterans and fucking prostitutes in his free time. You’ve got to put John Kerry in a hunting jacket if you want to win Ohio. You need Bernie Sanders to denounce everyone in Cuba. Make Kamala Harris go on Hot Ones alongside Joe Rogan. You can’t step off a plane with your name on it or ride down a golden escalator, like some kind of out-of-touch elitist. You sure as hell can’t glad-hand the President of China or - god fucking forbid - North Korea. Anyone who did those things would lose in a landslide, purely because Real Americans hate it.
You have to play it safe. Only the safest candidates will win. That’s why Jeb Bush was Hillary Clinton’s biggest threat in 2016.
Yeah most dems seem content to throw them under the bus.
Harris seemed disgusted by the fact that people associated her with trans rights.
They can be negotiated with on the issues that matter. Unlike the other team.
12 trans kids are enough to disintegrate the very fabric of society and civilization at large! Dear god… their power… is unfathomable!
[ trans kid turns super saiyan as the sky darkens and orchestral score swells in the background ]
Dems top policy needs to be funding social services and adding healthcare to it. I want to see my tax money actually do good things for people in this country. Not do bad things to people in other countries.
Best we can do is not take your civil liberties away quite as quickly. We’re still going to bomb other countries though.
-DNC
Green Party:
Protecting the pedophile protectors.
It’s also to make way too much money off of a collapsing system
Lmao what did the DNC start paying for ads again? Sudden influx of a bunch of leftist bashing and whitewashing DNC actions last week or so.
Are the trans kids hot? What school do they go to?
I didn’t know POTUS had a Lemmy account
