      I don't think so at all, I'm sorry. She's gotten into so many stupid fights she didn't have to, she supported Ukraine, she supported Israel, she let the disingenuous dogs tear into Omar, she's been totally unable to apply any pressure to the house for left legislation, etc.

      And more importantly, she's still in the Democratic party. As they've shown from Bernie, if you're not part of the fundraising club and aren't willing or able to scratch the right backs, they won't give you the nomination. If it came down to Bernie (who also shouldn't run in 2024) vs Biden, they'd make it so Biden was the nominee again and they'd take the loss. The best thing I can say about her running is that "it probably doesn't matter either way". Either she's Obama 2.0 or the JSOC member that they'll have behind her at all times helps her commit suicide, and VP Neera Tanden takes the wheel.

      Ship's going down regardless. Thank god.

      I don't wanna see it honestly let's just have this thing be over with I don't want another two decades of this.. the environment doesn't deserve it, we as in the American workers doesn't deserve this. Im not trying to be mean or demeaning I just think we are spinning our wheels to not do the thing that is hard. :pain:

          What if I said its not even close to the worst its gonna get much worse, food shortages, power outages, etc is the slow death we are experiencing worth it? 2 years time Sodomy ban after abortion ban, next year nation wide, after that interracial ban. The camps already exists.

          There are good people all around you just have to talk to them, im in a red state that triggered lawed, people listen to me now shit is changing people who ignored me 4 weeks ago about Ukraine, socialism, facism are listening to me now. Im telling you material conditions change people it was almost like a switch turned on a vibe shift. Libs I could not reach can now be reached.

            If things ever chill out, even for a moment, libs will go back to being libs. The same thing happened in 2020.

              My country has already reached the point the US is eventually going to, food shortages and all. Libs and wealthy conservatives live very comfortably in heavily guarded communities while a large number scramble whatever they can to live off of.

          In some ways it seems better for republicans to be in charge because at least then libs pretend to care and will sometimes even join protests, even if they usually only do so to act as the tone police. The lib media is also generally more critical of things as well when the more impolite fascists are at the wheel. Sometimes I think that the George Floyd protests partly happened because the lib media saw that his death could be useful in fucking with trump.

        What's coming after the collapse is going to destroy a generation mentally and leave scars that will take generations to not pass down , but I can't think of anything more cruel than more years of this.

      I like her more than most of this site, but no one likes her outside her district. rightos hate her of course. centroids hate her for being too extreme. libs hate her for not bending the knee enough. internet leftists hate her for bending the knee too much. most of america hates her because she's a latina. she generally doesn't have the experience or political savvy to overthrow neoliberalism. the party wouldn't have to do the shit they did to Bernie, she's already lost.
