can't wait to see The Blazer Wearers in the MCU as they defeat NihilistPlanetKiller by the power of fundraising through megadonor bundling.

this looks like an album cover for literally the worst music ever generated by AI.

probably the most boring people you would ever come across. They look like they were made in a lab

“I’ve seen 14 quadrillion possible futures and the only one where we win is if we offer a tax credit to business owners who start a company in a gentrified area of select metropolitan districts” or some shit.

Or when a metal band does a joke photo set and wears their work clothes

"We can beat republicans if we become them!" It worked great for Bill Clinton!!!

The Democrat's path to winning is clear, but their corporate overlords refuse to empower anyone who might truly inspire people to make real change.

What's crazy is they could just pull an Obama again and lie

[–] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 26 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

They'd have won the last fucking election if Kamala just fucking lied!

Edit: sorry i mean lied about adopting pro working class positions she lied about other stuff for sure

[–] WildWeezing420@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago

she needed to lie about opposing Israel and she couldn't.

"yeah guys if we abandon the only things that made any of our base vote for us and try to appeal to a whole other base that can't stand our guts then we'll surely win the next election!! right guys???? please-bro "

[–] Oppopity@lemmygrad.ml 14 points 1 month ago

Like if what you wanted was a republican, you'd just vote republican.

[–] Rom@hexbear.net 42 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Let's ignore the things people keep telling us they care about, surely that will win us votes.

What's next, are they going to downplay the violence in Gaza and tell us Israel has the right to defend itself?

I'm sure this joke has been made hundreds of times, but as long as they keep on their shit I'll keep on mine

[–] zipper@hexbear.net 36 points 1 month ago (1 children)

no but serious question if they're gonna abandon the only thing that the dems are known for (vaguely progressive policies) then wtf are they even gonna stand for? contrarianism?? who's gonna vote for a spineless dumbfuck party if they become the spineless dumbfuck completely useless party???

They stand for obtaining spoils for their faction of the bourgeoise.

How do I also get a fake job where I make $120,000 and get to be within poisoning range of various American politicians

[–] sangeteria@lemmy.ml 27 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Step 1: Harvard Business school MBA

Step 2: work at McKinsey for like 5 years

[–] axont@hexbear.net 21 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Is step 0 being born with a rich dad or uncle

[–] sangeteria@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago

Ofc, forgot about that

[–] unmagical@lemmy.ml 31 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The right already has a party that aligns with their values and who will win their votes. Why do the Dems think they can out Republican the Republicans and that there's no votes to pick up on the left?

[–] BabyTurtles@hexbear.net 27 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They won't pick up any votes, they'll pick up billionaire donors who use them as controlled opposition, they will continue to lose every election, and they will continue to personally benefit off it.

[–] ThermonuclearEgg@hexbear.net 12 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

True but I think that there's still room for them to lose even more votes if they drop any pretense of being left of Trump

[–] sodium_nitride@hexbear.net 28 points 1 month ago

GOP: engages in vicious attacks against the American LGBTQ community that leave them feeling scared and/or angry

Democrat consulting firm: This is the perfect time to waste that energy and endanger even more people

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 27 points 1 month ago

The quirky minions squad you have to beat several times and are just as annoying every single time

[–] oscardejarjayes@hexbear.net 25 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Because y'know what people love? The status quo. What they hate? Hope and change.

That's why the conservatives voted for the moderate, middle of the road, status quo Donald Trump.

I want to bully each one of those losers.

[–] tombruzzo@hexbear.net 17 points 1 month ago

What an original idea that has so consistently worked in the past

[–] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 15 points 1 month ago

I wish someone would charlie kirk the people who keep telling the Democrats to ignore shit like rent control and just be more like the republicans because Im getting really sick of this shit ratcheting right every fucking election cycle

Is America ready for a political strategist who's both a white guy and has long hair?

[–] leafperson@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago

"the people don't like that we platform on social issues while pushing economic policy that disadvantages the average person so lets drop the social issues and just keep fucking them, that'll be a million dollars thanks" are they trolling?
