Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Replace him with who?

Dems have been so singularly focused on keeping any body left of Clinton away from power their alternatives are "Joe bidens policies but more hypocritical and from a black women", "Joe bidens policies but more hypocritical and from a gay guy", or "Joe bidens policies but from an insufferable nerd"

Idk they always find some ghoul. Hilldawg would be the funniest, but AOC has tacked rightward enough while maintaining "progressive" cover that they could maybe use her effectively.

[–] someone@hexbear.net 9 points 8 months ago

AOC is just a young Pelosi at this point. Assuming the USA itself limps along as it is for another 40-50 years and doesn't outright collapse, she'll be around enforcing the status quo.

That would be Joe bidens policies but more hypocritical and from a gay guy

pete-eat he'll nibble the competition

gavin newsom is their only other plausibly-nationally-viable candidate at this point

[–] GlueBear@hexbear.net 18 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Gavin newscum? I don't even know how he looks and I'm already falling asleep.

They'll probably try AOC or anyone else from "the squad"

Picture a Mitt Romney clone that they didn't leave in the vat long enough.

They have no one else. Literally they need the youth vote.

they would choose losing 100/100 times before nominating someone to left of nixon

[–] GlueBear@hexbear.net 8 points 8 months ago

Here's the thing: they'll still lose

Beto although his platform of explicitly telling Texans that yes, he is coming for their guns, seems to have been a lack of political sense too great for even the DNC.
