Seriously what he’s doing isn’t even funny. Like what the fuck is going on here man? Instead of doing winning policy the dems decided with their stupid little focus groups to just match levels of idiocy with the fascists? JUST

FUCKING

DO SOME LEFTIST FUCKING POLICY

DO SOME POPULAR FUCKING POLICIES

YOU DONT EVEN HAVE TO DO THEM JUST PROMISE THEM

YOU ABSOLUTE RUBES

He or his media team will never ever be as (unintentionally) funny as Trump:

trump-anguish

China intelligently went in and they sort of took a monopoly of the world's magnets. Nobody needed magnets until they convinced everybody 20 years ago, 'let's all do magnets.'

You run into the issue(/risk?) of the Obama-flavor of libs where he didn't think he'd have the trifecta and then had to pivot on all of his ideas that he had no plan on pushing through.

Which is really sad when you think about it, because the lib establishment really though Kamala would have all 3 and didn't want to over-promise on anything other than genocide.

The status quo/trying to get republicans to vote for you thing won’t work anymore. That has been proven with her. If the democrats won’t see that and run someone leftists will actually vote for they won’t ever have a majority again, probably won’t even get in again with all the shit Trump is doing to block dems from ever getting in.

It never worked though, literally not once has it ever worked

I think it did work with Bill Clinton, but only as a short term thing that more or less fucked our politics for the next 30 years.

I think Perot peeled off way more GOP than Clinton did

I think they see Biden getting in as a “success” of that tactic.

The Democrats are as likely to pivot to actual left policy as the GOP is

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 3 points 3 weeks ago

Yes, which is why I hate them.

Democrats: I can't wait to vote out fascism!

Also democrats: cheers for someone who supports nazis, zionists, genocide, criminalizing homelessness, expanding police budgets...

This is what it was like immediately after the Black Eyed Peas sat down, crossed out that first line, thought really hard for a minute, and then wrote "let's get it started"

Hope America is ready for Keir Starmer but constantly trying to be epic!
