      Since that’s all it has ever been. Biden’s terrible, Harris is terrible, Schumer and Jeffries are beyond terrible - yeah, great, got it. What’s the plan then?

      All I ever get are non-sequitur rants about seizing the means of production and incorrect assertions about the elections process from people who have never lived in the US. That is - by itself, with nothing ever else appearing - less than worthless.

        Wild how often it’s the case of dems in power being terrible.

        Also so does that mean we can’t say trump/putin/bibi is terrible without specifying an alternative?

          I see some love for AOC (but also insta-damnation if dog forbid she hews incorrectly), Mamdani got a lot of love (for a city mayor) at least until he made the fatal error of crossing a SocDem, and Bernie gets love. But that’s it. 99.8% of Democrats are the worst, most evil fascists under the sun according to their support base. If you believe that.

          Is it any wonder they look to the center for support when it gets close to election time?

          Also so does that mean we can’t say trump/putin/bibi is terrible without specifying an alternative?

          For the first 100 slams, no those are free. After that you have to have something else besides a big bag of bitching. But only for trump, unless you’re voting in the israeli or russian election.

          Which, sometimes I wonder if some of the commenters are.

            Yeah cause they don’t want to actually provide anything the people want.

            And unsurprisingly again avoiding the point to continue to just punch left

              What like national healthcare? A Green New Deal? Yeah The People din’t want that shit they want to murder children, right?

              And unsurprisingly again avoiding the point to continue to just punch left

              What point? Democratic candidates are depraved existential horrors roaming the land devouring women and children alive for sport? Sure lemme google some things i’ll get back to you.

              The so-called left can’t even be relied upon to vote against literal paramilitary gangs roaming the streets murdering mothers and nurses. That’s who you want them to spend all their political capital chasing? Well, good luck. But just so you know they’re not going to vote anyway. Purity tests are real and they are unwinnable.

                Wow, amazing how you’re only point is blaming the voters.

                left can’t even be relied upon to vote against literal paramilitary gangs roaming the streets murdering mothers and nurses

                Again, both parties were okay with that. There wasn’t one who would stop it

                  Well, one party ran on the first part multiple times making a big push for it that took up a full year in two administrations, and actually made the second one law, so. Get a clue?

                  Wow, amazing how you’re only point is blaming the voters.

                  I’m blaming the non-voters. Keep up.

                  Again, both parties were okay with that. There wasn’t one who would stop it

                  The DHS is still shut down. Do you actually know how anything works? Because it’d be great if you could do that.

                    Is that supposed to show one side is fighting against it? Dems doing nothing to plan or prevent gop from implementing their will on the country, just like failure to codify roe v wade into law.

                    I’m blaming the non-voters. Keep up

                    You’re blaming everyone that isn’t worshipping the dnc, including voters.

                    The DHS is still shut down. Do you actually know how anything works? Because it’d be great if you could do that

                    Which has stopped what? Even now the dems aren’t fighting to remove or stop ice just increase training and more cameras.

                    Do you actually know how anything works

                    Wow more insults

        Of the people who’ve expressed interest in a 2028 run, I’d take Buttigieg or Kelly over Newson any day. Of the speculated candidates, AOC over all 3. Pritzker over Newson, too.

            You’ll forget this and repeat your bullshit about the left not having a candidate the next time anyone expresses any dissatisfaction whatsoever with one of your preferred genocidal candidates.
