If he loses, Dems will blame it on progressives even tho he vehemently rejected any progressive policies.
If he wins, Dems will say it was because he rejected those things.
You can't win with these people.
Is Warnock any better? It would be cool if he actually ran on some progressive policies and won while this dip shit lost -- even tho then they would say he won because he was black and not because he had better policies.
They refuse to run or find or support any progressive candidates because they know progressives absolutely wreck everyone when they get a platform. They'd have to acknowledge that they actually don't want change and that terrifies them. The post 2016 progressive victories scared the Dems back hard right.
he absolutely is better on non-domestic issues, he told AIPAC to go fuck itself and claims that Israel is an apartheid state.
there's also this so he's a mixed bag
crazy that healthcare is a human right but doesn't support mc4a lmao
actually just looked at his site and it's literally all the means tested bs for climate change, education and healthcare. The rest is the same corp dem signaling
he's not a career politician so 100% some dumbfuck dem staffer (probs some buttigieg-loving white kid) wrote that shit
having met warnock IRL he's definitely a very chill dude and he's got some out-there ideas, but i doubt he'll be able to resist the pressure to turn into a milquetoast lib just like Stacey Abrams did. money talks.
Dang. It would've been actually interesting to see two different candidates (one progressive, one moderate) run against Republicans in the same location, at the same time, for the same position. Would've been an interesting test.
There was someone in the primary that was for mca and progressive policies but the Dem party didn’t support him at all. Still got ~3% in the jungle primary though
God fucking dammit why the fuck are they against expanding the court, literally everything else makes sense when you put your Democrat hat on, but that one just baffles me
Biden was a prominent supporter of the Hyde amendment until 2019. He's basically a republican.
No, he was always this lib. I don't why but I also had the impression that he was more progressive at some point.
it still amazes me the dems are as stable as they are. this is literally just jaime harrison's strategy except in an even tougher election. you'd think that alone would set off an alarm bell somewhere or make the donors ask why all the money is going in the toilet. i get why they won't move left but it is extremely obvious you at least have to fill in the void with something else.
If all the other southern conservative dem elections are an indication, I don’t like his chances lol.
McGrath lost her first bid (for house) before going on to raise 88 mill and losing her second bid. They don't care about doing this decently
nightmare ticket, buttigieg/ossoff with beto as secretary of state
Calling it now: He will lose bc he doesn't support M4A, then democrats and media will blame the left
Do puerto ricans even want statehood? dems want to force permament membership in the empire for the 2 senate seats somehow occupied by neoliberal ghouls
Better to be part of the imperial core than one of its possessions I guess, as any independent Puerto Rico would end up.
I’m not super knowledgeable about the subject, but I think the Puerto Ricans held a referendum on whether to go for statehood or not.
iirc all the referendums have had other bullshit on it, not just Should Puerto Rico become a state? So it's tough to tell what people want as the waters have usually been muddied
