I think this is the fundamental asymmetry underlying every aspect of the conflict between the parties; you see it in the Senate, in gerrymandering, in the use of executive power
I don't want King Biden either, but it's long past time to make the GOP afraid of the consequences of endless escalation
And if the anti-lib left does not support the "libs" anyways, then fascism will win for sure.
If the democratic nominee was a rotting hogturd, the only morally acceptable course right now would still be to all out fight for said turd.
No, the only morally acceptable course would be to put forward someone who can actually respond with some fucking vigor to the fascist lies. Instead, you spent last 4 years, head up ass of the corporations. We are in this mess because you liberals have zero fucking spine.
Of course, it's the peoples fault that instead of going with the demonstrably more popular, you guys went with an ancient oligarch that no one liked every single time.
I will never forgive you for shunning Bernie in 2016, the light of humanity doesn't live in your soul and you will not reach nirvana
You're in this mess because Democrats treat votes as an entitlement rather than something to be earned
The people you're mad at are the registered Democrats who didn't show up in the first place
Y'all could've spent the years leading up to 2016 restoring voting rights to the millions of Black people disenfranchised by racist policing and various forms of vote suppression
Y'all could've figured out a way to motivate the non-voters to show up
But hey, blame "uppity minorities" instead 🤷♂️
Please show where *i* blamed "uppity minorities." Thank you.
I blame those who refuse to understand the difference between shit and all out evil, then claim it's all the same shit, and then pretend that particular SCOTUS was unavoidable.
Hard to know how the Global War on Terror would play out with a Democrat to start it off. Given the current incumbent Democrat was an enthusiastic booster for the Iraq War hard to say that would have been avoided
is there really much of a difference between the one who lets it happen and the one who makes it happen? biden has a clear ticket out, but outright rejects it
Running a new candidate requires:
- figuring out who that will be
- establishing a whole new national campaign for them
- funding said campaign
- advertising & traveling
All in 16 weeks, and that's assuming the candidate is popular enough to beat a cult figure head GOP will vote lock-step for.
You don’t even have 16 weeks, because you won’t be on the ballot in all 50 states. The GOP would love to derail this before the vote.
Plus skipping over Harris based on her being a Black woman will destroy the coalition.
That’s driven me crazy for years. Prosecutors absolutely can (and often do) support cop bullshit, but they are two separate institutions, and there’s plenty of DAs who are also trying to do the right thing.
the same lines every single time. the rotting hogturds we keep being forced to vote for (and who frequently lose anyway) are responsible for the situation we're in. find a better turd
Yes they are, but anybody who can't imagine it all getting so much unbelievably worse is suffering from a terrifying lack of both imagination and historic knowledge.
Yes, it is getting worse right now, fascists are consolidating power right now, these next few months is the last chance for people with actual power to stop them. The fascists are not waiting for the election.
And now imagine them having every office at their disposal, every department, command over the military, and the claim of having an electoral majority.
How is this not an "all hands on deck" scenario?
Not clear who you're talking to, because if you read what I'm writing, I agree.
There's irreconcilable tension between you're assertion that that this is going to get worse and worse and that a sufficient solution is voting in November.
