Not terminally online leftists and tankies once again pissing away any chance of success because the progressive DSA candidate who's offering universal healthcare, free college, better education, public transportation, bodily autonomy, a better democracy and ending the wars apparently doesn't actually fit their world view.
If they can't get the zombie of Karl Marx risen from the grave to run, they would rather be led by right wing christian nationalist pedophiles.
You know the person who made this visual psychosis actually believed it, but fuck if it isn't the funniest thing I've seen all day.
Marx would despise tankies. None of them understand his work
Pfff, Marx wouldn't be marxist enough for them.
What you need to understand, according to tankies, is: bOtH sIdEs SaMe.
Yeah, I mean this feels exactly the same as when Biden was president. Right? Right?
Shaken 8-ball says...
Hrm, wait, lemme try shaking it again...
Shake it harder, because apparently it's a fucking idiot.
Shaking it again, it clarifies:
So yeah, a fucking idiot.
I would probably vote for her. That doesn't change the fact that she's a bad candidate. If it were up to me, it'd probably be Elizabeth Warren or Tim Walz.
This will almost certainly not be the matchup, though. Republicans are not going to run Vance. Don't be silly. Nobody likes him. It's gonna be like, Carlson v. Newsom.
Why is she a bad candidate? Not a bait question. Interested in the take.
She doesn't inspire a lot of confidence. She has a lot of good positions, but I haven't heard her articulate them well. She said that Harris was "working tirelessly to secure a cease-fire in Gaza", something which we know wasn't true, and more recently brushed off Black Lives Matter, etc. as 'Woke 1 was craazzyyy ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ"
There's a good article about her backpedaling here.
There has to be somebody better.
A lot of these guys think there's loads and loads of centrist voters who the DNC can sway with a more moderate candidate. It's failed to work repeatedly because most "independent centrists" are just racist ass Republicans who don't want their families to know they're pieces of shit. If you're not anti GOP at this point, you're a lost cause afaic.
The hype a candidate like AOC could muster with younger generations is what they should be aiming for, but they don't donate or vote in primaries so they'll be ignored and won't turn out, again.
It's literally just racist misogyny. They cannot be convinced that Clinton and Kamala being women isn't the sole reason (with the addition of brown skin for Kamala) they lost despite the many failings of both if their campaigns.
Definitely wasn't the sole reason. But it was one of them.
Woman
Not white
Inexperienced
Would be youngest president in history
Too far left
These things may not matter to you, the inexperience is the only one that matters to me, but I absolutely promise you they matter to a significant number of Americans. Significant enough to put another Republican in control and further erode our already eroding democracy.
Gambling isn't smart. Especially when you're gambling with democracy. AOC is a biiiiiig gamble.
Something I keep seeing on Lemmy is that she sided with Israel instead of Palestine. To me, that feels like a terrible argument. Neither threatens US. Yet I don't see arguments how Trump sided with Russia while Harris would side with Europe. You know, the Russia that also actively seeks to destroy US.
Tim Waltz? The guy who folded in a debate against the blueberry and a few months ago announces he was giving up? That cat is a broke reed.
They'll run whoever starts openly expressing bigoted views. That has been conclusively proven.
Republicans do like Vance. But they probably like Rubio more.
