It's not going to be JD. Mark my words, save my comment, it's going to be Tucker Carlson. And if that happens and Dems haven't changed their tune we are absolutely fucked.
If that happens and leftists are still their own biggest enemies with their pursuit of an ideologically pure candidate that doesn’t exist we’ll be fucked.
I don't think most leftists are looking for an ideologically pure candidate, they're looking for someone who will actually represent the people. The Israel issue is a great example of this disconnect; amongst Dem voters 90% are against supporting Israel, and yet there's only a handful of Democrat politicians who have are agaimst sending Israel military aid. It's really not a high bar for candidates to clear, and yet establishment Dems just keep SPRINTING to the right.
Leftists arent their own enemies, their enemies are neoliberals.
The only thing leftists do more than infighting is repeating right-wing propaganda.
Newsom is not left wing just because his interns make fun of Trump on twitter. Some people don't want their options to be "fascist" or "neoliberal" and shills like you critizise them more than they do with the literal nazis keeping this system in place
I have friends and family getting their rights taken away and getting deported right now I need Trump gone.
If that makes me a shill so be it.
Start a party that has a chance then start lecturing about changing the system.
Then you need a candidate who can win. Not a candidate you want because they're a genocidal piece of shit and you love nothing in this world but genocide.
Single issue voters are the worse.
Yeah, you should find an issue other than genocide to support.
That doesn’t even make sense.
Only because you can't imagine supporting anything but genocide.
You must understand that acting like this makes people disregard leftist’s opinions.
No one's making you ignore the concerns of everyone but netanyahu. You do that on your own with no prompting.
So why did he endorse Trump if the democrats were doing everything he wanted already?
You're disappointed that you didn't get his endorsement.
You don’t have an answer so you’re turning to personal insults?
You call everyone who doesn't masturbate to dead Palestinian children a russian.

I'm not digging through the genocidal compost heap that is your comment history.
That’s convenient.
To not have your time wasted by a sealioning genocidal troll, yup.
I think you’re confused by the meaning of most of the words in that sentence.
Sorry, a gaslighting sealioning genocidal troll.
You keep making accusations that don’t line up with anyone’s reality.
More gaslighting from the genocide wing. Name one policy democrats fought for harder than they fought to make sure netanyahu got his weapons.
EDIT: And suddenly the rapid fire responses fall silent. The genocide wing knows they only fight for one thing.
Just like last time
