MODERATORS
The DNC chair went on record saying he wants a candidate like Mamdani, almost immediately after Mamdani won the primary...
Which is pretty much the opposite of Newsom.
He's never endorsed a single candidate during a primary, and ran fair primaries while the chair of Minnesota's state party for a decade...
Which is the exact opposite of what you say will happen.
So why are you saying that 3 weeks from an insanely important midterm election?
Probably just because historically the DNC always pushes the most "moderate" candidate? I mean, there's plenty of precedent.
That's exactly like saying voting is pointless because the next president will be the same as the last two...
Not only is it wrong, it's a self fulfilling prophecy.
The more people repeat it in 2026 because it was true for 30 years the less people vote, and the more likely it is we lose our once in a generation chance at a decent president. And if we actually get that, all we have to do is keep paying attention and vote to keep the streak alive, at this point it's literally that easy.
Picture your ideal president in 2029, and imagine how stupid it would be if I blamed them for stuff trump did, and said they're gonna do all the same shit trump did, because your president holds the same title.
That's literally as fucking stupid as people who believe the DNC is a monolithic institution that operates on long term plans.
It's four year terms of a person who can literally do whatever the fuck they want with the party. Jamie Harrison was Biden's pick who ran it from 2021 to 2025, and I bet you didn't even know that till now.
Because God told me to say it during my prayer session today.
Who do you want instead?
Someone who doesn't throw me under the bus would be nice.
I dunno, man, someone who will actually try to address the issues the nation faces instead of continuing to placate the rich and slowly strip away the rights of minorities.
But, like, I guess that's a mythically tall order.
AOC
I'm in
I've posted it before and I'll post it again.
Don't dis Raphael like that! He actually keeps his word.
It's uncanny! Personality seems to match too
You all know whom the guy on the left is by picture? He looks like a dick I will give you that.
It's a devil character from Baldur's Gate 3
He presents as very genteel and a potential ally, but reveals his true nature under duress
I am still recovering from discovering he was married to Kimberly Guilfoyle
Fuck you, Gavin. My wife and I both voted yes on 40 and no on 42.
