So, how much you wanna bet that the democrats funded the anti abortion candidates' campaigns?
It's irrelevant what an individual candidate thinks. They're party loyal, same deal with that guy Pelosi campaigned for in Texas.
The American electorate does not follow "sense" in anyway. Democrats are.on track to make massive gains in the Midterms due to Roe v Wade being overturned, and many of the Dems they elect will be anti-choice. Joe Biden's approval is underwater, but most of the people who disapprove still want Dems to win. These are not contradictions.
Honestly I wouldn’t be shocked if it came out years from now that Dems have been fixing their primaries for years. Remember when the Sanders campaign would point out fuckery and the response was always “it’s their primary, they can legally do whatever they want?” It’s the only thing that makes these stupid fucking results make sense, only the dem leadership is this stupid and disconnected
No no no, wait, it's actually smart. You dumbass Bernie bros don't realize this but it's important to pick a candidate who can actually win in November. Winning as a Democrat is always tough in downtown New Haven
Almost enough reason to become a dem operative and work my way up to neera tanden levels of access. Just to expose that. It’s for sure true.
smh, too many millennials told their boomer parents they weren't getting grandkids and now abortion is illegal
The democrats are actually a lost cause. There will be someone that can articulate an alternative which actually catches on and replaces them or we all die. I think we know which is more likely, but there will never be any salvation through them.
There's no possible alternative within the electoral process of a liberal democracy. The alternative needs to be outside
lol my brain is useless, i somehow missed the "almost" there :blob-no-thoughts:
doesnt she usually sweep? Are they just dumping money on her opponents?
When she inevitable loses at some point (itll happen if they keep trying) can we finally give up on democrats?
There's a massive centrist/blue MAGA/normie lib wave going on right now. People are unironically either V*sh tier or falling for that Andrew Yang "we just need sensible centrist solutions" bullshit.
probably less of a people are becoming centrist thing and more of a new gen of left wingers are now jaded with voting thing
Left wingers are performatively jaded with voting. They will still show up, mostly, and there's also a ton of elderly "moderates" who are scared of the GOP who will also vote Dem.
i mean, i go vote sometimes. i always check to see if anything is good in my area. but there usually isnt anything good so i dont end up voting.
I feel ya, even when the candidates suck my state always has some damn ballot initiative that's either really cool (like legal weed or ending gerrymandering) or really bad so I get sucked in.
They've been pursuing sensible centrism since the 80s and 90s, longer than a not insubstantial portion of their voters have been alive. At some point one would think, your median dem primary voter has got to look around and see exactly what centrism has led to after 30+ years. To just decide to do the exact same thing for another 30 years means they like the status quo but just won't admit it or their brains have just been microwaved by priviledge and propoganda.
insane that a political movement that has provided zero (well, not zero. loads of bad results.) could get itself a wave.
They've provided a lot. Feelings don't care about facts. Voters act based on the media, not "material reality"
probably people who watch CNN and MSNBC and now think that they've got to compromise right out the gate.
"well they're not the perfect candidate, but we live in such a conservative country, we need to make sure we have a moderate candidate who can get the most votes out of the general pop,"
They've been cucked!
Primaries are so stupid. We don't even have real political parties and they let just any asshole in to vote.
we live in such a conservative country
Gee, i wonder why! :thinking-about-it:
probably people who watch CNN and MSNBC and now think that they’ve got to compromise right out the gate.
:10000-com:
People voting in Dem primaries think of themselves as clever, seen-it-all politicos and they have been primed by op-eds, MSNBC, and CNN to triangulate even their own stated goals into do-nothing platitudes because they believe the received knowledge that Americans are inherently conservative
My counter: stop being such a nerd. The dems are a lost cause you loser. Pick up a gun. :ak47:
