Great plan to install the next republican
You mean the blue no matter who right?
Certainly better than voting for MAGA’s fascism, no?
Eyes wide shut with you eh bud?
You fail to see that both approaches are valid in the correct context. Establishment Dems need to go. But the right place for that are the primaries.
If an actual progressive doesn't get endorsed or runs as an independent in the actual elections, you might need to hold your nose and vote blue. That way you get another chance for change the next time around. If you don't vote whoever isn't MAGA, I honestly don't think there will be a meaningful next time to vote. MAGA is already trying their best to rig the elections. If the house (and hopefully senate) don't change this time, I think the experiment is over.
So by all means press for change in the primaries. What the US desperately needs is to overturn citizens united, but also a reform to the election system. First past the post is toxic.
60 terms of “holding our noses” btw.
Please ignore the fact you are witnessing Democrats praxing their true values on Mamdani.
Great harm reduction there libby!
