Did you interpret the OP as depicting an election where the two choices are AOC and Newsom?? Who is running as the Republican?
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.
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.
You are straight up shadowboxing a brick wall, nobody here was talking about a general election.
The image at the top of this post is about two primary candidates in the same party. You came in here with a strawman that nobody was actually discussing and got upset about it.
Seems like you just want to blame the trans community for the current situation and felt the need to shoehorn an argument in wherever you could fit one.
Stay classy.
Feel free to believe anything you want to. You will anyway
