It’s going to take multiple election cycles to achieve the replacement of the Dem leadership and purge the “consultants”, and if we ever get close to accomplishing that you bet your ass there will be political assassinations, and ultimately the party will self destruct rather than hand power over to real progressives.
The Democratic Party IS a right-wing apparatus, they work in tandem with the Republicans to serve the rich, the ratchet effect is real.
You had me in the first half, I was just about to ask you to read some Rosa Luxembourg. Yeah, the democratic party cannot be reformed
The conservative democratic party needs to die, just like Maga.
People think being right early is satisfying? They should try it some time.
We refer to it as the curse of foresight.
The hand is so blurry I thought it was a nub
Second pic is me when I freaked out about the Gaza genocide
My family kinda thought I was overreacting/focusing on the wrong thing, because they were more focused on October 7th itself
Later they realized it’s a genocide which I’m glad about, though I never did hear that I was right all along
Probably best if I just keep my mouth shut
Probably best if I just keep my mouth shut
Nah, you did the right thing. You’ll know it all the way to your grave.
Speaking up for marginalised people is a duty of those of us with less dire problems.Each person’s contribution may feel futile, meaningless, and insignificant but “no rain drop believes itself responsible for the flood” applies to positive things too.
Later they realized it’s a genocide which I’m glad about,
I dont understand what you mean by this?
It scans really poorly lmao.
I’m assuming they “later they realized it’s a genocide, which I’m glad about (the realization not the genocide)”
You can really see the bots flex on the reddit threads about replacing Schumer.
It sucks for neurodivergent people that see those patterns sooner than other people. Cassandra is my spirit animal.
If caring whether what I believe is true and being a less easy mark for peer pressure and local propaganda makes me neurodivergent,
then neurodivergent hi-five I guess.
On the flip side, it’s probably nice for the neurodivergent people who struggle with pattern recognition!
You want to abolish ICE? Sorry, but the paramilitarian says that’s not allowed.
“woke is back! god is nonbinary! mandatory sex changes for everyone!” they say as they pass waves of anti-trans legislation in blue states
and for the rest of the world, only the colours of the bombs will change. welcome to the new normal, same as the old normal
Wish I could upvote this twice. Well said.
The bombs will continue to be painted OD green.
Pink–for solidarity.
the twitter users making jokes specifically to just piss off conservatives are also passing the laws, eh?
The dumbass libs celebrating the blue wave by posting or reposting those takes, while gleefully voting for genociders, running defence for them and then going back to brunch, are certainly part of the reason why the democrats can get away with expanding ICE concentration camps without the outcry we see under a trump admin.
Newsome is gonna be the Ron DeSantis of the Democrats in the 2028 primary
Wearing leather heels and getting dommed publically?
I think he might be more savvy, but I would not be surprised. If he’s smart then he gets someone like AOC to be his VP.
Nah, because he’s an over hyped governor of a stereotypically blue state that isn’t representative of the country’s population at large. DeSantis and Newsome both have more style than substance and both peaked so far before the primary that they have nowhere to go but down when it turns out primary voters outside their home state aren’t interested in a candidate that feels like he was designed and grown in a lab
Newsome will flame out so hard once voting starts and there is proof the public doesn’t want his ass same way DeSantis went down in 2024
He wasn’t a good governor of CA, he for sure wouldn’t be a good president and I’m glad people will see that
Hey that’s unfair maybe they just run Harris again or Josh Shapiro.
I’m still hoping for a Clinton/Clinton ticket
How about you meet us in the middle: Newsom/Schumer.
/s
Running Clintons on both sides to guarantee her turn.
Chelsea/Hillary or Hillary/Chelsea?
Dealers choice
AOC
My understanding of AOC from discussing her with DSA people is that we’re kind of mixed on her being the candidate. Obviously she’s good on a lot of issues, but she’s also buckled on some important things like weapons for Israel. I doubt she’s a straight up Zionist, but we need to know that the person most visibly representing the movement is going to not back down on red line issues just for political expediency.
I think I’d probably still vote for her personally over another neolib if she’s our best shot in the primary, but it would be nice if we could get someone a bit more principled/someone with more of a spine. We have two years to figure this out. Let’s not wait until it’s too late and have to settle. That said, it’s not gonna be easy. The criteria of a person born in the US, over the age of 35, with enough name recognition to plausibly run a national campaign, and wants to run while still being a principled leftist is gonna make it tough to find someone in time.
AOC voted to stop the rail unions from striking.
She should run for Senate do that couple of terms or at least one. Then run for president.
What she should do is turn herself over to HAMAS or some sort of palestinians peoples’ court.
If we’re talking getting elected then I dont know. Its not like any of that shit matters as long as you have the machine behind you. The media was calling Biden the most progressive president since JFK and making Harris out to be some feminist POC activist. Hillary became the “most qualified candidate ever” on the back of a short career as a senator and a term as foreign secretary where she created open-air slave markets and laid the ground work for all the bullshit that’s making eggs so expensive now.
Material reality does not matter when you have cultural hegemony.Agreed. I’d be happy to vote for her as president. I just think shes still young and can do alot more good work in congress before being president and essentially retired after.
At least there’s always the possibility of a sex scandal taking Newsom down. Seems exceedingly likely to me. Fingers crossed.
Biden killed MeToo when Tara Reade spoke up, sex scandals mean nothing.
I hadn’t heard of this, I looked it up, and Jesus Christ. The wikipedia article on the topic was clearly written by the most misogynistic liberal they could find. I know it makes no sense, they don’t see us in the global south as people so of course I understand they’re monsters, but imagine still supporting Biden after shit like this is public.
Other fun fact you might not know: Biden expanded ICEs budget and concentration camps
He also lied to Anita Hill and told her he’d allow her to speak at Clarence Thomas’s confirmation hearing, and then shafted her. Citizens United passed by one supreme court vote, and thomas is the quintessential “originalist” on the court who has led this country down a dark path for decades. Biden also was the father of civil asset forfeiture, a cheerleader to go into Iraq, and he drafted the 1994 crime bill, which packed our prisons with 6x the people it used to have, many for silly nonsense. He couldnt even win his home state all the times he ran for president, and once had to drop out of a presidential campaign for plagerizing a speech. He’s a colossal idiot of epic proportions, even before you get to his taking AIPAC bribes through his whole career to aid and abet a genocide of innocents. He belongs in chains, and then sent on to Nuremberg where he should spend the rest of his days in a cell… at best.
sorrryyy he’s the most progressive president since fdr and history began on october 7th 2022 anything before that didnt happen
since we’re doing fun facts, did you know Nuremberg was a farce and there was more nazis in the west german government than the actual nazi government?
And the same Libs who’ll blandly say they believe women when discussing Christine Blasey-Ford will call Tara Reade a lying Russian Asset™ and dismiss her entire story. A story which has exactly as much evidence in its favor as Dr Blasey-Ford’s.
Even more so. And when she went through ‘the proper channels’ to report the incident they ruined her fucking life. And then they pointed to the wreckage and attacked her character over it.
What century do you think you’re in? Unless Gavin Newsome fucked kids on camera in public with multiple witnesses he’s not getting taken down by a sex scandal.
Biden groped kids on live TV and raped Tara Reade, he was allowed to run in 2020 and fuck up 2024.
I think Dem candidates will be wall-to-wall in 2028, so it may not take all that much to knock his campaign off course compared to his rivals. Unfortunately, I highly doubt that means the Dems will instead put forward a reasonable candidate.
So are they going to try “actually americans hate free healthcare and love war, that’s why Gavin is the most electable” or “Gavin will be the most progressive president since FDR!!”
They’ve got some dipshit liberals in the rest of the country cheering for his damn tweets, convinced he’s their champion against Trump. The DNC will torpedo anyone else’s campaign to make way for their little princeling. The actual message doesn’t really matter.
DNC: “It votes blue no matter what, or else it gets the hose again.”
Somehow both. It worked so well with Harris
Already doing it. Spinning that 2026 was a victory for moderates
It’s always like that. If they win it’s proof they don’t need the left, if they lose then it’s because leftists didn’t vote for them. All the blame, none of the credit.
Neera Tanden is already doing this, just isn’t naming Newsom specifically
may she mix xanax and red wine for the last time, she’s an awful person.
I hate her a lot.
I feel like newsom just doesn’t have enough juice. I know he’s gov of California, I know he’s been a coward on trans stuff and I know he punted on billionaire tax, that’s it, and 2/3 of those things are damning outright. Oh and I like the gruesome newsom nickname I guess.
deleted by creator
And a transphobic piece of shit too!
Yeah like if the more you learn about someone, the worse they sound, that is not a person you should want managing a hotdog stand, let alone a nuclear power.
He’s also brutal on homeless people.
While many Democratic elected officials tried to posture as opponents of the ruling, some gloated. California Gov. Gavin Newsom seemed to celebrate the ruling with a photo op in which he destroyed a homeless encampment. In his newly released memoir, he writes that he believes addressing homelessness requires both “the carrot and the stick.”
His MO is throwing marginalized people under the bus to attempt to win points with chuds. Very similar to other establishment dems like Clinton or Harris. It still doesn’t work. They were gleeful this time around to sacrifice trans people because they see it as an issue that doesn’t matter and have no problem trading it to the fascists so they can appeal to the mythological “centrists”.
Oh yep forgot about that, so 3/4.
He also signed like 2000 oil and gas extraction permits in his first year in office. I am sure I could think of much much more if I cared. He’s fucking awful.
He also violated his own damn mask mandate during the early days of the pandemic, platformed nazis on his podcast, and has had two strikes by his own workforce during his time as governor.
Wow sounds presidential, like a less senile Biden.
Newsom/AOC ticket will have all the embarrassed zionists in here clapping like seals in a years time
