You can't win by moving to the right, moron.

They’ll never learn. Their ~~bribes~~ donations depend on it.

In the two party system of "lets harm everyone we hate" vs "lets keep everything exactly the same" he's made it clear. He'll do a little bit of both!

This guy will move to the right and still get steamrolled by Trump in a wheelchair or that skin suit they call JD. All Fox News will have to do is scream “CaLIfoNia LiBTArd” for 12 months and so called “independents” will lap that shit up.

Ms. Jasmine Crockett warned us. Nope.

The Democratic leadership has failed and kicking out Hogg was the last straw.

If the choice is between burning everything down and a slower burn- I’m taking the direct route.

Newsom will not get my vote under any circumstances. He is as craven and corrupt as Trump, only smarter -which means we all lose.

When Trump beat Hillary I thought, oh, ok It has to get a lot worse first for the average American before it gets to healing. Maybe for a generation. Maybe many. Probably unlikely it's ever like it was 30+ years ago again TBH. Squandered quickly in the span of history. A blip.

We NEED to register as Democrats and vote in this primary. This country will not survive another conservative term, be it Trump, Vance, Musk, or Newsom. (For my part I've been a registered dem since the 2020 election and I voted for Bernie then.)

Fuck him. No way do I vote for that prick, I'll stay home before I do that

[–] twice_hatch@midwest.social 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

🫡 did you stay home for the last three?

I'm sure Nader is about to run again any day now

Nah, I toed the line and voted democrat yet again each time.

But if they put that piece of shit up and give him the candidacy, I'm done with that shit, I'll either vite for whatever party gets close enough to what I actually want in office, or ill stay the fuck home if I can't
