"Vote blue no matter who!"

People are voting for blue candidates who promise to do good things and not do bad things.

"Over my dead body they are!"

There’s always a part of that phrase that gets left out

“Vote blue no matter who…. during the general election

Prior to that. Primary the hell out of anyone that isn’t progressive. Change the party from the bottom up. And guess what, you’re starting to see that actually happen and it scares the establishment. Let’s keep it going.

That’s actually started in a way.

Hilarious that candidates are being endorsed by the mayor of New York.

[–] GraniteM@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

New York City has a population greater than all but twelve states. It's like if the governor of Virginia were a wildly popular national figure and started endorsing primary candidates.

[–] stylusmobilus@aussie.zone 8 points 1 day ago

Yeah that makes it make sense.

Anyway, it’s good, because the bloke stands for something decent and it is reps like him who will pull the country out of its problems if that’s possible.

Adam Gray won his June 2nd primary, running against a more progressive Democratic challenger but also two Republicans in a California Jungle Primary. A Republican finished second and will be his opponent in November. The progressive finished 4th.

Ok? So does that mean you’re going to vote for the Republican since the progressive candidate lost?

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

Oh it's not my district. I'm just pointing out that a lot of Democrats and Independents in this conservative district probably chose the Moderate Democrat because he had a chance, and they didn't want to wind up with 2 Republicans in the final.

that saying is basically admitting that they are right and you will fold when the cards are on the table? why take you seriously then?

I know this is a hot take, but these are mostly in red states. Also, yesterday it was 15, so progress?
