Crockett said Democrats have ‘this fear’ about voting for a woman again after Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton lost

Both had a VP named Tim. Need to run a third trial where a safe white man runs with a VP candidate with the name Tim to confirm that isn't the issue.

DNC donors want a corporate stooge for president who does nothing and says nothing they don't approve of.

Your Republicans and most Democrats are two sides of the same medal

[–] Glytch@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

They're both funded by the same ~~people~~ corporations, so many of their goals are the same.

I am an extremely safe looking whiteboy and I'd love nothing more than an AOC pres and Crockett vice pres ticket. That shit would be awesome.

Sanders will be 86 by the time of the next election. It's time to stop pushing for him. It's not going to happen, and probably wouldn't be a great idea if it did.

We care about age now that we no longer have to pretend that biden is lucid.

Biden shouldn't have fucking run in the first place

Are you looking for another president who has to be wheeled onto the stage to repeat "and by the way" over and over for 90 minutes?

The answer is simple: Bernie can have AOC as his VP, and write a public binding contract where she can remove him from office if she deems his mental faculties to be in decline. Just because it hasn't been done before, certainly hasn't stopped the likes of Trump from doing weird things.

Our politics are Calvinball, and the Geronocrats have fundamentally failed to recognize that fact.

Newsome is such a corrupt slime. He let PG&E get away with literal murder for shareholder profit. He was married to that god awful Guifoille lady. He’s also related to Pelosi and now he has a podcast where he talks to Nazis. California should be leading the way with healthcare, education and job protections but we’re not in fact California enabled and coddled the rise of broligarch facism. People always talk about the homeless crisis in California that was in large part caused by the tech broligarchy. Strap in America because there going to be a homelessness and then a mass incarceration explosion. Voting for Newsome in his ivory tower would just be a vote for the broligarchs.

It's not that the candidates are women, POC, nonbinary!!! It's they're Republicans (DINOs).

That said, I like Jasmine. Afaik
