Im really excited for the next election when the Dems force us to vote between Newsom and whatever mentally unstable nazi the republicans find, and we lose every branch again...
Because a sizable part of the population is apparently still too fucking stupid to realize that's still a no-brainer decision to make.
Yeah, our countrymen are dipshits, but let's not undersell how complicit the Dems are by constantly choosing to run candidates that their voting base feels they have to vote for begrudgingly.
And let's not pretend like the decision isn't between unregulated capitalism, and fascism. Yes one is the better choice, but I mean Jesus Christ it's like trying to decide if you want to die by injection in 10 years or being boiled alive today, you die either way.
Hard to win elections when your voting base can't be excited about you. Hence why gop is winning, it's easier for a fascist to appeal to a dipshit than it is for a capitalist to appeal to a voter with the ability to think for themselves.
So, my question when I run into that argument is: who do you think people would rally behind?
There's always this assumption that the party has someone that they know would be super popular but they then make a conscious choice to run the most conservative person to the left of the Republican.
There are primaries. They're made up of people who can get enough support. The local parties are closer to voters, and it's much easier for people to join.
Somehow the people who consistently get elected are the sort of people they keep fielding as candidates.So I'd love it if we had a great inspiring candidate. But literally who are they?
if you want to die by injection in 10 years or being boiled alive today, you die either way.
The first option at least gives tons of people extra time to escape to a more sane country.
But yeah, fuck the dems.
More like the democratic leaders are too stupid yo try actually appealing to the population. Keep victim blaming though, and licking up whatever scraps the dems throw st you from the table. Like yall shoild literally be rioting to force a change of leadership in the democratic party, and should have done so the second kamala lost. Or even before that when she was just 'chosen' to replace biden.
David Hogg is trying to, and it pissed them off so much he was ousted. I'd suggest joining up with Leaders We Deserve, his action platform
A sizable part of the population thinks holding down a liberal senator and tazing him is Based and are only upset that they can't take part. A sizable part thinks if the police tackle you and slap cuffs on, you must have done something to deserve it.
This isn't an issue of people being too stupid to understand what's happening. This is decades of fascist propaganda from the right and decades of liberal cop-worship politics on the left all coming due.
Yes the nazi is the better choice compared to the mentally unstable nazi. This is why dens are going to lose again and again until the country collapses and we're rescued by someone invading us.
Sure, Newsom's a nazi, fuck off.
Right before all of this he was literally making the rounds trying to woo and work with MAGAt influencers.
That's a far too progressive stance for the Democrats. Maybe we should try Hillary again?
She's got a shot... this time! If all else fails, how about some 90 year old senile guy, elderly leadership is trending among the younger demographics!
Whatever the Dems do, they need to do it in the most non-confrontational way possible, maybe a semi-strongly worded letter? Nothing too harsh, they just need to let everyone know they are not super chill with the current vibe. Hopefully they take it easy though, they definitely don't want the Republicans to think they are impolite or rude
