I’d rather it was someone else. AOC. Bernie. Anyone in that vein.

But if he’ll get the Dems to rally and DO SOMETHING? Fuck it. Give it a try. Maybe it will work.

What fundraising is he referring to though??

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago

Midterms.

Governance is a thing of the past, it's all campaigning all the time now. Why do you think they fail so hard to accomplish anything? If they actually fix things they have to find something new to run on. It's like studios who focus on sequels and reboots, it's a known quantity. They know people will show up for those platform positions, so they don't want to remove them as an option.

The Biden 2028 campaign, what else?

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world -1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah I'm in the same boat. Progressives are helping each other and clearly nobody learned from their mistakes last election by nonstop dissing Biden.

It would almost appear they have doubled down on dissing Biden non-stop. Like its the only way they can cope with their lack of political action. Not sure how Trump pulling all restraint from Isreal and providing them with more money than ever is pro-palestine, but you'd think that crowd won the election by not voting or something.
