It’s really nice to see a Democratic campaign actually play to win.
Holy shit, right? I genuinely have not been this optimistic about a presidential election since 2008. Don’t get me wrong - shit could still go sideways. But Harris at this point is absolutely SLAYING, and is mostly saying the right things on the right topics, and furthermore is CLEARLY on top of her game, and fully understands the stakes.
It’s a fait accompli.
Time to start planning for another business-friendly Democrat administration. It probably won’t have majorities in both houses, but it wouldn’t matter much even if they did manage to pull that off. Bipartisanship is the name of the Democrat game, and the next question is whether the Republican remnant will play ball or fall into infighting after whatever bloody nonsense their nutjobs get up to this time.
Doomers and bothsides-ers can fuck off. While you people keep bitching and moaning, the adults in the room are trying to make the world a better place.
How’s Palestine going?
Not great, so people should continue to apply pressure. And not just over Palestine, but over all MIC capture of our government. Otoh, this administration and hopefully Harris’ will continue it is one of the most union friendly in living memory and the FTC has been insanely active. If we’re lucky, we might even see the return of the CFPB as a legitimate and effective entity. So your characterization is beyond brain dead.

Cool. Tell all your Democrat friends that they can have my vote when they start doing the bare minimum and embargo arms sales to Israel.

i’ll be sure to tell them that once i’m convinced you aren’t a tankie trying to subvert the election.
By aggressive she means lurching further to the right.
@lemmy.ml
Right?
Lemmy ml and a history of Putin defense?
Alright fam.
Point to where I defended Putin. Or is this one of those covert bot remarks with you trying to circumvent the bot rule?
Try not to act surprised when you do nothing to elect leftist candidates locally and at the state level next year. Or any leftist candidates to the legislature at mid terms. And then in 4 years try not to act surprised that the POTUS candidates appeal to neoliberal, centrist and conservatives who have proven to engage with politics for decades and thus being an safe strategy to the white house.
Pouting about it won’t endear people to your cause.
So by your own admission, you acknowledge that your entire party is neoliberal, centrist and conservative. They have become the dominant right-wing conservative party
It’s not my party. Just happens to be the one im voting for potus
If you are giving them your power it’s your party.
That’s the shallowest take i think ive ever heard. Are you an adult?
If you’re willing to overlook things like genocide so you don’t lose your privilege and position of status in society, it doesn’t appear that I’m the shallow one.
Oh yes, you know my motivations better than me. Please tell me the queer father of trans mixed race children how im voting for my own self interest you absolute child
well go fight your war instead of bitching at everyone else then. we don’t need you here.
You can’t go straight for the presidency with your ideals. You have to shift opinion from the bottom up. Meanwhile, we participate in a game of tug-of-war at the top levels.
The general public opinion is there, but people feel trapped in a two-party system and they fear that if they were to vote outside of that two-party system they may lose the few table scraps that they currently get
