    Biden should have quit 6 months sooner and gave Harris a sliver of a chance at proving she could do the job. They set themselves up for failure.

        Hillary shouldn’t have ran either, but the DNC isnt too far behind the repubs in the cesspool department.

          If your priority is defeating Trump then join us and make damn sure a candidate we’ll show up for in the general makes it through the primaries. Phone bank, canvas, donate and vote for social Democratic politicians. Are you willing to do that?

              If your priority is defeating Zionism, fascism, and the flouting of the rule of law, at least going to the ballot box to vote for the candidate who normalizes them slightly less seems like it might kind of be helpful to that end.

              If you’ll notice, that wasn’t a compelling enough argument for the genocidal garbage centrists preferred to beat the genocidal garbage they were willing lose to as long as no one got the chance to vote against genocide.

              Do better or lose. Pretty sure I know which course of action you prefer.

                  I’m saying that even if you aren’t you made the most baffling, illogical choice possible given the information at your disposal, that it turned out predictably,

                  I voted for harris.

                  Anyone who criticizes the genocide is automatically lumped into nonvoter territory by people who support absolutely nothing else.

                  and that the only thing that has shown any signs of doing so at all in the past 18 years is that a smart, capable man who is willing to work with them instead of against them got elected mayor of New York and started actually changing the minds of voters to get them more engaged, not less.

                  And the genocide wing fought him harder than they have ever fought any republican. The “vote blue no matter who” wing predictably turned back into “party unity my ass” when someone to their left overcame their fuckery and won the primary. They’re trying the same shit with Platner, DAC, and Talarico.

                  If you run as the second worst genocide-happy turd again, you’ll lose again. Not enough democrats will vote for centrists’ only policy.
