Ever had to endure a CD that was left on repeat, like say you’re an underpaid wageslave and your boss just loves his new Morrissey album, and after about the 4th playthrough, you wanna gouge the eyes out of anyone that crosses your path?
This is worse. This is SO. MUCH. WORSE.
She was the best candidate at the time.
She may be the best candidate at time of polling.
Decide:
- if the issue was the message and framing, then keep the candidate and fix the framing and message.
- if the issue was a career justice worker, educated and thoughtful, with the ability to speak a 9-word sentence without tripping over the 7th-grade words, then find someone better suited to weed out corruption and show the hardest workers in America that they’re welcome and respected again. While you’re at it, find a better running-mate than the Coach. It’s America’s step-mom and wide uncle, squaring off against that creepy old man and his weird kid. And keep the message.
America was overconfident that an actually good candidate with an excellent resume was a obvious fit for a job against a career felon and fraudster; more believable and better for America. If America can’t see it, it’s an education issue that can’t be solved until better leadership is in for a decade. Until then, I guess it’s hammering them with a “this is your America; do you want to fix it or not?” message.

The problem wasn’t how she said anything, it never is. The only lesson Dems ever take when they get trounced at the polls is that they need to target their messaging better. There’s never any self-crit about the possibility they might need to change their policies. They just assume that an electorate who doesn’t want corporate-friendly status quo politics is simply wrong, and needs to be propagandized more convincingly. E.g., 2/3 of the US population agree rich businesses and individuals need to be taxed more. But the Dems assessment seems to be that the majority of the country is wrong on that issue, and just needs to be “educated” better. Fuck meaningfully changing policies to actually address the issue.
if the issue was a career justice worker […]
You mean a prosecutor who worked extra hard to lock up over-policed black folks in support of the US prison industrial complex? Justice worker my ass. There is no justice to be had in the US.
America was overconfident […]
No, the Dems were overconfident that Trump would be so reprehensible they could sit on their hands, change nothing, put up a lame duck candidate at the last minute after dragging their heels for months over Biden’s mental state (which was obvious to literally everyone who heard him talk) and somehow still win the election with a bunch of stale policy positions that were and are deeply unpopular.
Liberals will swear that elections are the only way to make any change, and then proceed to lose every important election because they don’t want to have popular policies.
Let me guess, with a platform of “at least we aren’t trump!”?
This time if they pull a bit more to the right I’m sure moderate Republicans will vote for her.
/s
Daring today, huh?
The Democrats would rather be the opposition party than nominate a progressive for President. They can put up with a fascist government, but someone who wants to take money out of corporate America is too far for them.
I welcome Harris running in the primary. In fact, I suspect had we had a primary in 2024 Trump wouldn’t be president now.
Like the last time she primaried and didn’t even make it to the first day of voting? Crazy that they expected that candidate to win.
4 years is a long time, and what is true one cycle isn’t necessarily so the next.
I’m not saying Harris is my preference for a democrat, only that a primary can sort it out.
a primary can sort it out
No. The DNC run the primaries. They’ll just manufacture seeming consent for Harris or another Neoliberal stooge with policy positions far to the right of the people they’re supposed to represent.
To the DNC, it’s still 1992 and it always will be.
Clinton as the response to Reagan really did break the party.
Does the Democratic party know what the definition of insanity is?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
We’re all gonna die!
Hey it could be worse, they could roll a hospital bed with a comatose Biden up to the debate stand.
…please Americans just pick some Democrat who has some fight in them for once it can’t be so difficult
Dont give them any fucking ideas they’re already dumb enough.
That’d be Cortez, yang, waltz, and who else?
Yang is just a crypto bro venture capitalist opportunist with a blue hat. Even HARRIS would be a better choice than that fraud.
Despite his thoughts on UBI and universal healthcare?
Yeah, he wants to fund UBI with a crypto scheme, is against the price controls that would make UBI work, and was probably never more serious about universal healthcare than Harris was.
Bit disappointing. Hmm
Well that’s already three, better than I expected honestly, I only knew of Cortez so far.
You already forgot Walz, Harris’ VP pick?
The person I replied mentioned Waltz though, not Walz
Yeah, most likely because they spelled the name wrong. Many did even while he was the VP pick.
We all know there won’t be a free and fair 2028 election anyway, so it probably doesn’t matter unless we all start getting violent. Voting will not suffice.
B-but, our sign-holding demonstrations! We called them Fascists so many times! We disavow violence in politics!! /cj (circlejerk, a parody)
/uj The state has a monopoly on violence, we gotta take that monopoly and smash it
Should we believe “The Hill”? (Newswire is a wire service, original claim comes from The Hill.)
