Crockett said Democrats have ‘this fear’ about voting for a woman again after Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton lost

Both had a VP named Tim. Need to run a third trial where a safe white man runs with a VP candidate with the name Tim to confirm that isn't the issue.

Democrats are gonna blow it on a fucking centrist again

[–] [email protected] 29 points 2 weeks ago

Their corporate donation spice must flow, and a progressive platform isn't what is requested.

They don't want a safe candidate. A safe candidate would be someone who takes broadly popular positions, like Medicare for All, a jobs guarantee, or public internet. They want centrist candidates, which the consultant class has convinced them is safe (and, coincidentally, never take positions that upset the donors), but centrism is the least safe position to take at this point. No one who is watching their wages stagnate while the cost of living skyrockets is thinking, "I hope this can be solved through incremental changes that don't disrupt that status-quo too much!"

It's not that the candidates are women, POC, nonbinary!!! It's they're Republicans (DINOs).

That said, I like Jasmine. Afaik

I will vote for whoever isn’t the disgusting republican traitor. But give me fucking AOC, ffs.

I'd vote for a literal dog at this point as long as it had competent, non fascist advisors.

I am an extremely safe looking whiteboy and I'd love nothing more than an AOC pres and Crockett vice pres ticket. That shit would be awesome.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 weeks ago (5 children)

I certainly will not vote for Newsom or Buttigieg. Unless some other incredible candidate comes out of the woodworks, I'll be AOC or bust if she decides to run.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 weeks ago

AOC with Crockett as vice pres.

DNC donors want a corporate stooge for president who does nothing and says nothing they don't approve of.
