She should sell out to large donors so she can buy ads like the Democrats then you will like her.

Whaaaa my preferred candidate is unpopular and it's everyone else's fault

[–] mrdown@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

But your favourite candidate also lost but it's not her fault according to you, it is everybody else fault. See how hypocritical you are?

Did you rehearse that shadowboxing routine in the shower?

[–] mrdown@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

What this has to do with anything?

Nice projection of your own argument.

"Projection of your own argument"?

You are complaining about people not voting for Newsom because Newsom is not popular but then pretend other people whine about their candidate being unpopular not being the candidates fault.

The fact that you specify a single candidate shows you still dont understand what it is youre voting against

Watch the video for context

Fr, funny how these alt-left mfers love democracy except when it turns out their candidate just doesn’t have the votes. If Jill Stein couldn’t win a majority of left voters via a primary, then how is she going to win a national election? And why can’t these alt-left parties ever start grassroots movements at the local level, instead they only care about presidential elections and just want to skip the endorsement without winning any primaries, and if they can’t do that then they take their ball and go home?

Because, like I said, they have no ambitions of political influence. Only virtue-signaling and purity-testing.

No need, just a few dinners with Putin, and suddenly she's flush

Hello, senator McCarthy.

Cool comment.

Doesn't make Jill Stein electable.

But it does for Gavin Newsom and Kamala Harris magically.
