I’m sorry but it is naive to think that misinformed voters will learn the right lesson and vote blue no matter who. It is more practical to ask for better candidates.

What’s another war crime for these people? Tuesday?

Democratic donors be like: “we can run anyone and they can’t say no!”

I’ve got bad news: the oligarchs run the blue states as well. California gave us Palantir and X. Peter Thiel advocates for this exact same thing for fuck sake.

Pretty sure his name will be blacked out because of national security reasons. It’s the DOJ that’s delivering the files

What? She was a fantastic candidate! The fact she lost to someone so obviously bad just means she was bad at communicating to dumb voters. This is a widely known and predictable problem with Americans and you can’t blame her for that. So you see, she was the best person to not get the job. /s

Not sure how to feel about this, people were going hungry and planes were being stopped. Yes there is nothing stopping the GOP from doing this again, but it’s mostly a charade already - they could have abolished the filibuster and got what they wanted anyways.

The Dems have this attitude that if the people suffer enough they will learn they were wrong for not voting for them, but it feels like ground hog’s day with that strategy because misinformed people always learn the wrong lesson. At the end of the day it’s more important for our leaders to do good than to prove they were right.

Edit: It seems food stamps were back on, so now I’m just pissed they wasted everyone’s time and energy.

Outwardly sure, they will talk nice. But they aren’t going to do any favors for the man.

listen to him talk about the students that have been protesting the genocide, he casts it as antisemitic.

It’s strange to me that we’re agitating for voters to change and not our leaders. It’s fewer people you have to convince.

If she wins the primary then all bets are off. That would mean she ran enough of a good campaign that big money didn’t matter.

The trans issue shows he’s not up for the challenge. If he can’t stay on message and has to spread disinformation to win then he is only going to sweep MAGA under the rug instead of addressing their lies head on.

Now that you mention it… It’s kind of weird they haven’t “transvestigated” her for turning on Trump.

If there’s a Ranked Choice initiative/group in your area please volunteer. This will give us the most bang for your time to get away from this duopoly. I say if because some states have banned RCV. That’s how scared they are.

It’s funny because I have the same tired feeling of dragging unimaginative people to a better future. But the good news is if you aren’t against us then you are for us. There’s room at the table for you.

It is silly to think we can’t learn lessons on how Mamdani won because he hasn’t exercised the office yet. This isn’t about how you did that right thing and voted against fascism that one time. This is about winning power, and if that is too idealist for you then I don’t know what else to say other than I’ll see you on the campaign trail.

Historically, the goal of education was to have a productive labor force. And even if our education system was to teach independence, it cannot deliver the ability, that comes from economic and social liberation.

My point is that we haven’t had good candidates as evidence by their losing. When we actually do have a good candidate that wins we are suddenly the idealists that aren’t practical, as if winning power (in spite of both political establishments) is something other than an act of pragmatism.

As long as we’re paying attention to those who can imagine a different future, then we’re at the same table.

I think we overemphasize education and should talk more about people’s ability to act and think independently.
