But seriously if the DemoKKKratic Party wants to run a woman of color and insists that they just have to run a woke-imperialist monster (KKKamala "HHolocauϟϟt HHarri⚡︎⚡︎" , AOCIA), Rashida Talib and Ilhan Omar are right there as the obvious ticket, and then they could actually get votes from leftists. Those are the only two Democrats I would vote for. What are the centrist dems going to do, vote for Trump's successor? No, they're so afraid of the Republicans that they'll fall in line and vote blue no matter who.
They need someone who's guaranteed to do nothing of value while in office. Rashida and Ilhan do not check that box.
"Sorry but we've decided that the left's vote isn't worth pursuing, don't worry though, we'll still shame you for not voting as we try to target the 15 or so Republicans in the country who consider possibly voting for us if only we'd be a little more openly racist."
Welllllll… would they? I think a lot of that rhetoric comes out of people in a comfortable assumption that it’ll be a “sensible centrist” that will win the primary and it’s the left that has to hold their nose when they vote. If it’s someone who’s to the left of Elizabeth Warren, you’d be seeing a bunch of “why it’s okay for liberals to vote for Tom Cotton” op-eds.
Of course they would! They wouldn't just lie in order to gaslight leftists into voting for fascists, would they?
Of course, you're correct. And they'd blame the Left for destroying the Democratic Party by forcing liberals to vote for the Republican Party to stop Communism.
Oh god. You filthy leftists. You’ve made me do this. I just. I cannot believe you forced me to vote for the ballot initiative to kill all puppies. I will never forgive you for twisting my arm to the point of breaking such that I must act against my dearly held liberal principles. God damn you all to hell, vile wretches.
We need this
Unfortunately, Ilhan Omar isn't eligible as she isn't a natural born citizen. There's always chatter about amending the constitution to allow foreign-born citizens to hold office. But the monkey's paw curls and we wouldn't get Ilhan Omar. We'd get something like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Victoria Spartz, Elon Musk, Andy Garcia, or Elaine Chao.
