Well I'd pick one of handful of progressive democrats the Dems have or Bernie but that ain't happening. I'd at least pick Newsom.
Pick someone that is willing to run. Because thats how things work.
Ok. But fuck, if you have to have a cop out, waffle house excuse to say newsom, i have a hard time believing you. Newsome is hard for the fact that hes a "hard D" california govenor and you take a good hit in the swing states. Thats a real liability. Thats fair. Stand by it. Say that. "But Bernie" my ass. Bernie doesnt want it now.
Dont say "oh no" and not have an honest opinion that you arent willing to put your nuts behind. Get on board, or gtfo.
I swear. As a dem, and ill be honest, what pisses me off the most is that we are our own worst enemy. We waffle and push for a vauge replacement with no game plan, and bitch and moan when the answer given "just isnt quite what we want".
We could have had an honest to god game plan a year ago. But we didnt get our shit together. Thats on you, thats on me, and its sure as fuck on the DNC. But we dont have that option now.
Fucks sake. Rant over. Sorry for being frustrated at a two word post and a half baked response. Fuck.
Bro what are you on about. Kamala came in dead last in the 2020 primary. She's has a enormous amounts of baggage like jailing kids and parents for skipping school.
She's more right wing that Biden. Why would anyone vote for diet Republican when they can have the real thing.
Your right. Shes not left enough... might as well vote for trump or skip.
Seriously though. Are you paying attention? We dont get the perfect candidate now.dont shoot yourself in the foot. You're already a locked in voter i assume. If trump was 50/50 with biden, what makes you think he loses with us nit picking? Shes right of biden? Guess who is more right from that. Hope for whitmere or aoc as vp if your feathers are that ruffled. Newsom if you really want. But kamala is the ticket and whining about it loses the election.
Bro you these moral ransom arguments are not going to work when the things you want people to compromise on are genocide and chattel slavery. It's Hilary all over again.
Ah yes, the supposedly left wing lemmy user who finds the time to write detailed paragraphs about how bad the more left wing candidate is but is suspiciously short and vague on criticism of the more right wing candidate. Here we go again.
The OP is about Harris. Trump is 10x worse than Harris but that's like saying genocide, chattel slavery and mass deportation is better because our side has pride parades!
Ah that good old BoTh sIDes argument. So balanced and nuanced, yes.
You just accused me of not criticizing Trump then when I do I'm both sidesing it.
Bro this type of moral brow beating is not going to work when it comes to chattel slavery or genocide not matter how furiously you and your Reddit refugee friends masturbate each other about it.
It didn't work in 2016 when the issues weren't nearly as contentious and it won't work now. If Trump wins it will be libs like you's fault.
But go ahead and keep scoring pretend internet points by attacking anyone that criticizing Harris' obvious shortcomings as Trump shills.
If Trump wins it will be the fault of fake lefties who spend all their efforts criticising whoever is the democratic nominee and pressing people to not vote instead of criticising the "dictator on day one" who can't accept he lost, and the Republican party of full hearted support of Israel who send people to literally write "finish them" on Israeli bombs.
Or, you know, the Dem party could field an actual progressive with real bona fides. Hey how'd we wind up with ancient ass Biden to begin with. Oh yeah that's right, from libs like you insisting that we HAD to vote for him otherwise Trump would win. Libs never change.
Can we agree on AOC next time?
