Primaries: "I agree with those progressive policies, but we need to vote for the person most likely to win"

Campaign: "wait until after they win to protest and push them left"

Post-election: "They have a mandate to govern and they didn't campaign on your progressive politics. Wait until next primaries"

You need them all to get in, but even after you’re in, you STILL have to deal with AIPAC.

But people keep telling me that I need to wait until after the election to push for change - is that not the case? Really sounds like voters loose all leverage once the election is over, whereas the monied interests keep theirs?

America first?

Can we stop editorializing every-fucking article in this community?

She did not 'endorse' Harris or any of her policies, she simply argued on behalf of harm reduction.

That should be enough for yall to parade around in triumph anyway without twisting it into something ridiculous

Democrats will tell you that nothing can change in FPTP voting, and in then spend 100% of their time every 2 years directing their efforts towards a FPTP election system.

I swear to god, electoralism is sisyphus' fucking boulder, and libs are completely convinced that if they push that damned thing up the mountain just a few more times they'll finally escape the task

With none of the benefit of hindsight, it seems.

Fuckin'-a

As i said, the only reasonable response to this "none of your fucking business"

Hillary lost because she openly mocked and derided the people she needed to vote for her, marginalized people who had real needs that weren't being met by her policy proposals and who were urging her to take more progressive stances.

so you would rather we fall to the Nazis

Better to fall to the nazis fighting them than welcome them to the table. Fuck the Cheney's, and fuck the democrats for proudly welcoming them into their coalition and then condescending to voters who rightfully see them as war-mongering demons.

Democrats will lose if they keep daring people not to vote for them rather than addressing the interests of their constituents. It is the single worst campaign strategy I've ever seen, and it amazes me that it isn't even the first time they've decided to fuck themselves in the ass with it.

When people interpet your intent to vote for someone as an endorsement, but the candidate is un-endorseable, the only reasonable response to this question is "none of your fucking business"

So the message we need to bring to black voters is that they only have themselves to blame if things get worse. It’s cake or death and we’re all out of cake.

Is that sarcasm...? Honestly, I can't tell.

If it's earnest, then i would have to guess that what you're after isn't electoral victory but radicalization. I'm not sure how you expect to tell a marginalized minority 'you have only yourself to blame' and have them turn out for you, that's just... Hopeless?

It's an excellent message to turn progressives into anarchists and revolutionaries, though, and I'm actually kind of here for it.

thanks

Lol, how often are people fainting at his events that it's a complete non-story when it happens twice at one event? And then he thought, "it's hot in here, let's just play some music and dance"

What a strange campaign

Is there any explanation for why the two people fainted though? That seems like a crazy lead lede to bury.... Was it random?

I mean the choice to stand there and play music is funny, but that whole event sounds like it came straight out of Veep

I've read other accounts that apparently two people fainted in the crowd before he decided to play DJ? Is that real?

Everything about this story seems fake and incomprehensible

Democrats keep conceding right-leaning policies as if Republicans actually just want those policies

Republicans are reactionary - they don't just want tougher immigration policies. They want to hurt immigrants. If democrats push right, Republicans will just go further.

There is no moderate right-wing position that can win over moderate Republicans that they can't beat by going further right.

Lmao good luck then

Lol

Ill mark my calendar for one year from now and let you know

Jesus christ, is that what politics are to you? Flattery or contempt?
