Fucking Harry S. Truman got why this shit was a problem.

I've seen it happen time after time. When the Democratic candidate allows himself to be put on the defensive and starts apologizing for the New Deal and the fair Deal, and says he really doesn't believe in them, he is sure to lose. The people don't want a phony Democrat. If it's a choice between a genuine Republican, and a Republican in Democratic clothing, the people will choose the genuine article, every time; that is, they will take a Republican before they will a phony Democrat, and I don't want any phony Democratic candidates in this campaign.

Remember that if you are a real political party, your end goal is to enact policy. Winning election is just one mean (amongst many) to achieve that.

Abandoning policy to win election means that you are an unserious political party, some would say a lifestyle brand

[-] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

The Uniparty have the same core policy as ever.
Endless war and regime changes, unconditional support for Pissrael genociders, banks, multinationals and oligarchs.

Kamala was talking about having the most lethal military in the world in response a question about Gaza. What the fuck were they doing that's woke?

The republicans ran a “she’s for they/them and not you” ad which convinced Democratic strategists that they cared too much about the queers. Also you’re evil and hate queers if you don’t vote for them.

acknowledging public perception of the party as “weak and woke” needs to change. She is urging Democrats to “fucking retake the flag” with appeals to voters’ sense of patriotism, to adopt “the goddamn Alpha energy” of Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell and to embrace an “airing out” of potential 2028 presidential candidates in a broadly contested primary.

Slotkin plans to deliver another speech — which is set to focus on “killing sacred cows” — sometime next month.

“I don’t think we need to hide the fact that Trump is flooding the zone and making us look 12 different ways at the same time,” Slotkin said. “But again, because I come from the national security background, there’s no end to fighting unless you’re dead.”

We're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine

Lol libs and adding “fuck” to sound tough

Also the Lions lost to the racial stereotype team. Perfect analogy for 2028.

Isn't she a literal CIA type?

[-] [email protected] 68 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Literal CIA analyst. Bush-era psycho. Did three 'active' tours as CIA during that time & got shitcanned after the goldrush, ran a failed consultancy for less than two years & got picked up by the Dems as an asset.

[-] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago

Was she the one on charge of Gitmo or Abu Ghraib? I think one of these CIA ghouls became a senator or joined Obama's cabinet, I don't remember.

I literally don't understand why anyone would vote for this person.

She's a CIA terrorist girlboss, what's not to like?

Oh, running as south park republicans? That totally worked in 2016 and 2024

But hey, best 3 out of 5, right?

"be more right wing"

[-] [email protected] 33 points 1 month ago

Yeah, that'll work and not make you look like a grifter to the fascist crowd. Fucking idiot, why would they vote for the Republican Lite Party when the Republican Party is right there???

paid to lose

Democrats are just Republicans on a five-year delay

being a woman not in a bikini is already really woke by republican standards

flashbang from both sides of the aisle taking turns to degrade the meaning of words. Amazing, that's really reaching across to jagoff each other.

Good, it's blatantly clear the US "left" has to be forced to go third party, cause they sure as shit aren't taking that critical responsibility on themselves

Maybe some hard CIA medicine will wake the berniecrats up, tho I doubt it considering a genocide couldn't do the trick

The other Squad with military and intelligence backgrounds

Yeah she may be bad, but have you considered that there is a fucking Cheeto in the white house???

[-] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago

I have a feeling she might be the Dem nominee in 2028.

[-] [email protected] 22 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I have been predicting since ~2018 that the so-called "competent fascist" after Trump was going to come from the Democrat party. Elissa Slotkin may not be that person, but her rhetoric over the last couple months has kept me confident in that prediction.

God damn my state

[-] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago

I'm still in the "elections are over" camp and think Republicans will find a way to just not have elections anymore. It'd be a stupid move, but that hasn't stopped them so far.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

Every day I add more and more people to a completely innocuous list.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Tbh I’m not sure most of your typical Dem voters are gonna fall for this type of right wing framing from Dem politicians anymore. I’m not saying AOC has a clear shot at being nomination, but anecdotally when I engage with Dem voters in my personal life (of all ages), they honestly seem fed up with the Dems constantly trying to outflank Republicans from the right. I actually think a Dem that embraces the “maybe we should be democrats” idea (say like Pritzker) probably could win the nomination.
