The one silver lining here is that there will be a primary in 2028. And in 2026.
Get ready now. If you’re in a closed primary state, you need to register as a democrat to participate. If you don’t like voting for the lesser evil, getting off your ass and voting in every primary is the bare minimum you can do. You can do more by phone banking, volunteering, and educating your peers in real time as shit spirals in tangible ways over the next 2 years.
I saw this in real time and it was even more disgusting than can be conveyed in text. You really need to see and hear these two goblins shouting and wheezing to get an accurate picture of where they want Democrats to go in the future.
Yes - the ones who tell the majority of the party what to think and do.
Yep - I was up all night watching results (which was stupid and yes I feel terrible today) and I caught some Morning Joe before I finally went to bed.
I thought he was about to make a good point when he said that Democrats can’t just keep saying “Trump bad, Democrats virtuous,” but then ofc he went on to blame “the sliver of the Democratic Party who call themselves progressives” and that they will need to shift even further to the right next time.
Pundits are going fucking wild with this.
I agree with you, but you should know that the media is already blaming “the small sliver of the Democratic Party who call themselves progressives.”
Pundits are talking about how Democrats need to shift even further to the right next time. So that’s not going to be fixed any time soon unless voters show up to primaries in a way that can’t be ignored.
Well I did say they are dumb AF.
Hope there will be a legitimate election in 2028, and show up to the fucking primary before it and in 2026.
I think Trump won because of the economy. Yes, he has a rabid base that really does want his fascism, but the voters who pushed him over the edge are ones suffering because inflation and the wealth gap that has just been allowed to increase unimpeded. Those voters don’t want fascism - they’re just dumb AF and don’t pay attention. They just voted for “change.”
These problems will only increase over the next 4 years, so there will be another opportunity defy the status quo in 2028. We had a chance and failed to do in 2016. We came closer in 2020. We didn’t have a real primary in 2024. When we get to 2028, it’s time to fucking do it.
This was not my first time being forced to vote for the lesser of two evils, and I’m not dumb enough to think it was my last.
Enjoy the self-righteousness for a few months.
Quick, someone quietly transfer OP to a different parish
So he’s giving all his wealth to the poor, right?
We can’t move on without a proper segue. How about politics+beans memes? I can’t imagine anyone would be unhappy with that.
