We NEED to register as Democrats and vote in this primary. This country will not survive another conservative term, be it Trump, Vance, Musk, or Newsom. (For my part I've been a registered dem since the 2020 election and I voted for Bernie then.)
Fuck him. No way do I vote for that prick, I'll stay home before I do that
🫡 did you stay home for the last three?
I'm sure Nader is about to run again any day now
Nah, I toed the line and voted democrat yet again each time.
But if they put that piece of shit up and give him the candidacy, I'm done with that shit, I'll either vite for whatever party gets close enough to what I actually want in office, or ill stay the fuck home if I can't
Can his dick touch his ass?
This guy will move to the right and still get steamrolled by Trump in a wheelchair or that skin suit they call JD. All Fox News will have to do is scream “CaLIfoNia LiBTArd” for 12 months and so called “independents” will lap that shit up.
The Democratic leadership has failed and kicking out Hogg was the last straw.
If the choice is between burning everything down and a slower burn- I’m taking the direct route.
Newsom will not get my vote under any circumstances. He is as craven and corrupt as Trump, only smarter -which means we all lose.
i draw the line at kicking out hogg
you can excuse the genocide?
No. There is no justification for genocide. Full stop. But when both parties are all for it, one must make a choice. Voting third party is a choice for the right wing candidate; there is no logic to voting third party in our current system.
Biden was as much a killer and murderer as Trump; he just ostensibly did it within the law. It’s not an important distinction for morality- but it is politically.
Harris was too insecure and allowed herself to be hobbled by the conservative interests in her own party. Telling her to stop going after big business was the worst piece of advice she chose to accept, and she lacked the spine to be anything other than another Biden- but I voted for her anyway- there is no other logical choice.
The country needs AOC, Bernie, or even maybe Ro or Jasmine. But the big business interests of the Democratic Party are fighting against them and it is our job to fight those interests every bit as much as we fight Trump. Maybe even more.
When Trump beat Hillary I thought, oh, ok It has to get a lot worse first for the average American before it gets to healing. Maybe for a generation. Maybe many. Probably unlikely it's ever like it was 30+ years ago again TBH. Squandered quickly in the span of history. A blip.
Ms. Jasmine Crockett warned us. Nope.
In the two party system of "lets harm everyone we hate" vs "lets keep everything exactly the same" he's made it clear. He'll do a little bit of both!
They’ll never learn. Their ~~bribes~~ donations depend on it.
