Man I wish national Democrats were actually in favor of letting those 12 kids play badminton
Yeah most dems seem content to throw them under the bus.
Harris seemed disgusted by the fact that people associated her with trans rights.
Yea but they never will so the only option is to primary them.
Like Americans need to realize that not primarying democrats means they feel safe with your vote and are thus incentivized to prioritize seeking republican voters.
MAGA on the other hand literally primaried people for not being extreme enough… Only took them 6 elections if you think about it.
Democrats know they have a stranglehold on the primary process, and they know that the results of their interference with the will of the people will be interpreted as apathy on the part of the left.
In order to justify moving to the right.
The race to outflank each other on the right has been happening in the Republican party for over 40 years, but over the last 16 years they’ve gone increasingly batshit
GOP & DNC are the sword $ shield of the wealthy elites respectively.
But still GOP incumbents have always been more likely to face a funded primary opponent. Meanwhile DNC protects theirs from challengers.
Agreed, and support organizations like PV that do phone banking and door knocking to help those progressive candidates win.
Also Americans need to nominate people for candidacy. What stood out the most to me in Knock Down The House was that it was AOC’s brother in law that nominated her and the grass roots organization that vetted and asked her to run.
I think a lot of competant leaders don’t run for office because they don’t believe they will even make it onto the ballot.
I think a lot of competant leftists don’t run for office because they won’t even make it onto the ballot :/
Aaaeh don worry bout it, Gavin will take care of this choice for us.
/s (<= cannot stress this enough)
“I can’t decide if dems are lesser-evil, reluctant genocidaires, or wholesome smol-beanerinos.”
There are dems on the epstein list too, both parties are on the same team
Are there dems on the list? Sure! BURY THEM IN LEGAL HELL TOO.
Are both sides The Same™️? No, you fucking dipshit dorkass loser.
Democrats are flawed corporatist neoliberals for the most part, and I wish every moment of every day that they embraced the very real and very vocal contingent of voters crying for leftist policy, but they are by no means The Same™️ as the genocidal accelerationist Fascists that modern Republicans are. To suggest otherwise is delusional.
They’re “not the same” in the same way that the good cop and the bad cop are not the same in a good cop/bad cop routine. The difference doesn’t fucking matter, they’re working together against you. Dems aren’t “flawed” they’re corrupt, and spineless halfwits like you are helping them get away with it.
Gtfoh with that both sides bullshit
I’m right, you’re fine with pedophiles and genocide as long as it’s your team doing it
Not really, you’re just trying to pick a fight.
Yeah really
.ml
.world
sh.it :D
Yep, cry about it
I will, all night and part of tomorrow morning, too.
Literally lock them all up. No one here thinks Democrat pedophiles are okay. What the fuck are you even talking about. Only one party invaded Iran and is threatening nuclear war. The right wing is actively destroying our democracy and the only people fighting back are on the left.
The US has never been a democracy, it was never even a particularly good representative republic. Maybe you don’t think it’s different when dems do it, but there absolutely are people who think that way and they’re extremely loud about it so there’s no fucking way you’ve never seen it.
Don’t cut yourself with all the edge
I’m right, cry about it
They’re the same side lol
Dems top policy needs to be funding social services and adding healthcare to it. I want to see my tax money actually do good things for people in this country. Not do bad things to people in other countries.
Are the trans kids hot? What school do they go to?
I didn’t know POTUS had a Lemmy account
12 trans kids are enough to disintegrate the very fabric of society and civilization at large! Dear god… their power… is unfathomable!
Green Party:
Protecting the pedophile protectors.
Green Party: distract mostly left-leaning people to make it easier for Republicans to get elected
