There is no way Kamala Harris survives a primary.

[–] aramis87@fedia.io 34 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

If she wants to win, she needs to be out there today pushing back against the regime. Instead, there's crickets. That's a "No" vote from me.

Especially since she solicited donations after losing SPECIFICALLY to "fight Trump" and then just fucked off the second she conceded, yeah, she needs to at least pretend to give a shit.

Hear me out: What if we primary one candidate and then after the primaries swap the candidate? Fixing crazy right?

You mean literally the exact thing we did in 2024 to lose?

[–] Bakkoda@lemmy.world 10 points 18 hours ago

Oh yeah that's why it seemed so familiar.

Pfft, we know the desires of the voters don’t matter to the DNC. They’ll put forward whatever milkwater, centre-right, AIPAC-suckling sycophant they like the most.

DNC seems to be incapable of learning. They will ignore their voters, gavage a candidate/platform that they want, act all surprised when they lose, then cover up their report that explains why they are losers.

They don't want to win, they can fundraise off of old idiots forever if they continually lose. They want the same shit as Trump, they just don't say it quite as loudly.

DNC is a fucking scam

She hasn't won one on the federal level. 2020 she dropped out and was unpopular in California. She wasn't involved in 2024 and forced into the position. She isnt popular anywhere.
