I’m not saying progressives can’t run. I’m saying we need progressives who aren’t dead halfway through their presidency. i am absolutely saying AOC should run.
Oh yeah, other people are saying that AOC shouldn’t run because she’s a woman and women suddenly can’t win. They’re saying it in this very thread. You should tell them they’re wrong.
So kindly stop assuming anyone who doesn’t support Trump, supports Biden or Harris.
I’m not. I’m assuming anyone who makes excuses for why progressives can’t run supports either trump, biden or harris.
For the primaries or for the general? Which voters are you looking to blame?
Isn’t going against Israel political suicide whether you like them or not?
It’s political suicide according to people who love everything they do.
So her chances are high, then.
Newsom is already the nominee.
Every time they ran a centrist woman against a monster. Biden only barely squeaked by.
They don’t need to. centrists will do it all by themselves. Like they did with Obama.
I will be shocked if the Dem establishment doesn’t run Newsom and do their damndest to ratfuck AOC like they did with Bernie.
Newsom is demonstrating his willingness to sprint to the right.
There’s no statistical difference in the chances of victory between men and women when running for political office. Lots of Republican politicians are women. I don’t see it as a big deal.
It’s only a deal because the democratic party is willing to hold back all women just to prevent the success of one progressive woman.
If I were her, I’d fuck off to Europe and send a big fat middle finger to everyone asking for help.
Sending a big fat middle finger to everyone asking for help was basically her campaign.
She just hasn’t moved to the right enough yet! How many more cheneys are there? Any more minorities to break solidarity with?
If Bernie is to be elected in 2028 he’ll be 91 by the end of his term. If he continues in 2032, he’ll be 95. That is far too fucking old to be a politician.
It’s neat how age is no longer just a number now that biden isn’t running anymore.
She’s far enough to the right.
It’s why suddenly the “How DARE Sanders allegedly say that Warren might have a hard time because she’s a woman” wing of the party is now like “Women can’t win” as soon as a progressive woman is seizing the moment.
Why on earth would you run kamala again?
democrats would nominate trump if the alternative was a progressive.
Democrats will do it if she vows to move right.
They’re gonna do this en masse right before the next election. Before it’s over, we’ll see ICE kidnapping people who are in line to vote. After all, they can clear up any “mistakes” after they’ve prevented people from voting.
Just skip to the bit where you start screaming “genocide” because I voted for harris like you wanted me to.
That’s where all our conversations end up anyway because it’s what you do when you have nothing worthwhile to say.
Because you’re unwilling to address the actions of the party and how it protects incumbents only when they are to the right of their challengers.
