is it easier to change the minds and view of 11,000,000 people or is it easier to change the minds and views of the handful of people running the Harris campaign?

Unlike Stein, Harris probably would have accepted that endorsement.

We didnt start the fire…

“DNC Leadership would rather lose with a neoliberal candidate than win with a progressive one.”

I think I had this exact revelation during or right after the 2020 primaries and it has deeply impacted my approach to voting ever since.

It’s a bit one-dimensional, but I have no doubt it was a contributing factor.

Harrison has reportedly chosen not to seek to stay on as DNC chair but his dismissal of Sanders’s statement provoked anger of its own, including from the reporter and columnist Glenn Greenwald. “You and the corporatist and militarist party you lead just got your ass kicked all up and down the US, because Americans see that you only care about enriching yourselves at the corporate lobbying trough,” Greenwald wrote. “If the humiliation you just suffered doesn’t usher in some humility and self-reflection, nothing will.”

-rarely do I read an article and genuinely think “man, that guy got slammed.” as the rhetoric typically suggests, but wholly hell did Harrison get slammed.

Did none of your classmates point out that Lincoln’s bad luck was terminal?

yeah, but George Clooney has multiple oscars.

I’m not convinced Kamala is a “functional adult” she never won a primary. -In fact she got less than 1% of votes in the two primaries (AK, and NH) she did run in respectively, in 2020..

Oh, haha-ah, you sweet summer child. Sure you will, after all but two candidates drop out of the race and give their hard-won delegates to the conservative candidate in exchange for cabinet positions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Results_of_the_2020_Democratic_Party_presidential_primaries

–I kid, with the condescension, because this is what happened before many of us got a chance to vote in the primaries in 2020 -A primary that Kamala Harris dropped out of because she was deeply unpopular.

50/25/25, huh? So that must account for Republican/Democrat/Left of Democrat -Where do you think the Libertarians stand in all of this? Do you think the Democrats lost this election because of third parties or was it because a significant chunk of former Democrat voters chose to stay home altogether? If former Democrat voters chose to stay home, then I ask you why?

scratch a liberal, and a fascist bleeds.

Ah, yes. Hurting the homeless. Of course. Silly me.

Huh, I wonder what led to this failing? The source doesn’t elaborate.

Things can always get worse.

Correct, even under Biden and Harris.

So, I’m just pondering here, but it seems to me that it’s a bad Idea to run an unpopular presidential candidate because when voters choose to stay home, they also take their down-ballot votes with them.

What kind of rock? There are some pretty neat rocks out there.

Voting for a lesser evil is still being complicit in some degree of evil.

That’s a very broad statement that I can’t argue with because I have no intention to defend Donald Trump. Wiith that in mind I imagine anything he does to Gaza is just in line with what Biden or Harris would have also done but probably dumber. They had over a year to make us believe otherwise.
