How do you think elections work?

If the majority of people don't vote, they don't cancel the Presidency.

You don't worry about the ideal ship when you're drowning.

They're talking about primaries, not the general election. In primaries you focus on finding the best candidate. In the general election you vote for the least fascist major alternative, but that's later.

If you say they are talking about the primaries, I'll believe you.

You should tell them to edit their comment, because they never mentioned 'primaries.'

The next election involving a presidential candidate is a primary.

Did you interpret the OP as depicting an election where the two choices are AOC and Newsom?? Who is running as the Republican?

[-] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 2 points 6 days ago

No, I was talking about the people who couldn't bring themselves to vote for Clinton or Harris.

Back in the day, a lot of people told themselves that there was no difference between Humphrey and Nixon. They were wrong.

Look at the reality of the situation.

The 2028 Dem candidate will probably be close to Jimmy Carter or Bill Clinton's policies.

Trump is already calling Reagan a woke Liberal.

No, I was talking about the people who couldn’t bring themselves to vote for Clinton or Harris.

Maybe you should clarify that’s what you’re talking about instead of coming into a thread that is clearly about a Democratic primary and lecturing the people talking about how one candidate is worse.

Or run a neoliberal and lose again, I’m used to it at this point.

It's hilarious that you think I have any power of the DNC. I don't, and if there was an actual alternative I'd be all for it.

Right now, there isn't. That the bottom line.

You can whine all you want about not having a choice, and how the corporations are not listening. Then you can look at the fact that Donald Trump is out here running around unchecked.

Back in the day, Communist partisans happily took orders from colonial Englishmen and racist Americans.
