the only democrat I ever voted for was bernie in the 2020 primary, and it will stay that way forever
electoralism
Welcome to c/electoralism! politics isn't just about voting or running for office, but this community is.
Please read the Chapo Code of Conduct and remember...we're all comrades here.
Shitposting in other comms please!
At least this one pretends to be progressive
Fucking Harry S. Truman got why this shit was a problem.
I've seen it happen time after time. When the Democratic candidate allows himself to be put on the defensive and starts apologizing for the New Deal and the fair Deal, and says he really doesn't believe in them, he is sure to lose. The people don't want a phony Democrat. If it's a choice between a genuine Republican, and a Republican in Democratic clothing, the people will choose the genuine article, every time; that is, they will take a Republican before they will a phony Democrat, and I don't want any phony Democratic candidates in this campaign. (May 17, 1952)
I literally don't understand why anyone would vote for this person.
She's a CIA terrorist girlboss, what's not to like?
If you don’t like it, you’re sexist.
smdh this country just isn't ready to elect a woman.
Kamala was talking about having the most lethal military in the world in response a question about Gaza. What the fuck were they doing that's woke?
Remember that if you are a real political party, your end goal is to enact policy. Winning election is just one mean (amongst many) to achieve that.
Abandoning policy to win election means that you are an unserious political party, some would say a lifestyle brand
The Uniparty have the same core policy as ever.
Endless war and regime changes, unconditional support for Pissrael genociders, banks, multinationals and oligarchs.
the democrats act like the only eligible voters for them to attract are the ones voting for the other fucking side
"but the people who don't vote didn't vote and so long as we keep fulfilling our own prophecy they never will"
Isn't she a literal CIA type?
Literal CIA analyst. Bush-era psycho. Did three 'active' tours as CIA during that time & got shitcanned after the goldrush, ran a failed consultancy for less than two years & got picked up by the Dems as an asset.
acknowledging public perception of the party as “weak and woke” needs to change. She is urging Democrats to “fucking retake the flag” with appeals to voters’ sense of patriotism, to adopt “the goddamn Alpha energy” of Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell and to embrace an “airing out” of potential 2028 presidential candidates in a broadly contested primary.
Slotkin plans to deliver another speech — which is set to focus on “killing sacred cows” — sometime next month.
“I don’t think we need to hide the fact that Trump is flooding the zone and making us look 12 different ways at the same time,” Slotkin said. “But again, because I come from the national security background, there’s no end to fighting unless you’re dead.”
We're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine
Lol libs and adding “fuck” to sound tough
Also the Lions lost to the racial stereotype team. Perfect analogy for 2028.
