    Whatever else can be taken from this, one thing we know for sure is that she doesn’t have what it takes to be a leader.

    If you aren’t intelligent enough to just stick to the core issues Americans care about and are actually affecting all or most of them, then you aren’t going to be a politician who actually changes the bullshit we have collapsing this economy and nation today. If they ask you about their culture war shit they’re baiting you, and you have to be smart like Mamdani and respond with a line like “you guys only stick to questions like this because you can’t govern, the American people are under water, gas is high, there’s new forever wars, corruption is at an all time high, and people want someone who will actually do something about those and not just talk about culture war bullshit to distract”.

      Abdul el-Sayed is also good at putting those down. Jesse Waters pressed him on the trans in sports issue and his response was “Dude, let sports leagues figure that out. I’m running for US Senate, people want healthcare and affordable groceries.”

      No group is a monolith. That said. Where they are from. This is sadly their best possibly viable alternative to the worse Republican. Hopefully they win, and someone actually worth voting for primaries them if they run again. Though not just them. All corporate, third way Democrats who’s only real constituency are wealthy businesses. They all need to go, and be replaced by people who will actually represent the voters.

        Oh ok, so your solution is

        Vote for the person that will take away your rights, but will pretend to be compassionate about it. Then after 4 years of backsliding on your rights, just vote harder

          Okay, so your solution is

          Attack them furiously so someone worse will win.

          We’re passed the primary. Time for getting someone better is realistically passed. The back sliding is going to happen regardless of whether or not they win. It’s just a matter of how much worse will it be if they don’t. Seriously what’s your alternative? Besides being angry. We’re all angry and upset that this is acceptable. But I don’t see anything better that stands a chance.

            Eldritch, I can tell you my solution to your comments is to stop reading the thread, scan the whole list to find each one of your comments --once I realize you’re on a thread-- and downvote without reading them. Then go back to the top and continue reading the thread. The little red arrow is a good prescreening flag that the comment should be skipped. You, givesomefucks, and satansmaggotycumfart get this treatment, and judging by your consistent downvote totals, I am not the only person doing this.
