She inherited an unpopular incumbency during a global anti-incumbent wave where basically every incumbent party got destroyed, following 2yrs of inflation and with a little over 100 days to campaign…and still almost beat Trump.
Kamala vs Vance tomorrow would be a GOP bloodbath.
If Abdul El-Sayed loses to Mike Rogers, there won’t be some grand “reckoning” for the Democratic left or the DSA. They’ll shrug, move on, memory-hole it the same way they did with Platner, and continue their push to consolidate control over the Democratic Party.
y’all were calling Biden a communist, a dictator, or sleepy Joe every day of his presidency. y’all called Biden an illegitimate president and called his election rigged. don’t expect us to respect Trump when y’all didn’t even give a shred of respect to Biden 🤷🏻♂️
Liberals, let me make one thing clear.
You don’t have to like President Trump.
But you damn sure need to respect him.
He is our President.
We didn’t treat Joe Biden like dirt because the Presidency is an office above the man.
Do better.
Looks like we have a new kingmaker in the Democratic party. Ossoff's historic run proves that you don't need to embrace extremism such as socialism or populism to win. This should be a lesson to all Democrats everywhere.
El-Sayed has been held the advantage for months and looks strong going into next week’s primary.
Regardless, touting out of state endorsements while omitting Stevens endorsements from the outgoing MI senator, a former MI governor, and the current MI governor is…a bit silly.
Every Troy Jackson story since Platner dropped out:
Troy Jackson threw a bottle…
…at the ground and he and his colleague made up afterwards.
Troy Jackson was a pro life and anti gay republican…
…in 2000.
Troy Jackson made internet posts…
…trolling republicans.
Moderate democrats putting up god tier numbers in swing states (and there are MANY) get basically no attention while every single media outlet puts out daily "Here Is Why Progressives Are Lighting The Way For Democrats" opinion pieces 🙃
certainly don’t want the nominee to be AOC, bc I’m skeptical of whether she can move independents over, the most important swing demographic to win over imo. and i think she should run for Senate for Chuck Schumer’s seat before she tries running for president
it should be a no-brainer, AOC.
JD Vance’s platform might be similar to Trump’s in 2028; if he ran later, like 2032, it would probably deviate from Trump’s bc at that point, there would be some distance in time from when he was Trump’s VP
Streamer Destiny says he is not sure who he would vote for if the 2028 presidential election is between JD Vance and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
"In a vacuum, I don't know what JD Vance's political opinions are.
I mean I probably would vote AOC, but it's a coin flip."
DSAers are willingly submitting themselves as puppets to Fox News. Watch the clip carefully. The interviewer is incredibly affable. She doesn't want to fight. She wants to draw the agenda out because it is, indeed, a toxic agenda for Dems. DSAers are tools in service of fascism.
this might be controversial, but maybe we shouldn’t support unpopular policies 🤷🏻♂️. and yes, ik the talking point “this has 60-70% support”; it does until you actually get into the granular of what the policy will look like in practice
Do you support the Green New Deal?
Ossoff [smugly]: no
Do you support Medicare for All?
Ossoff [smugly]: no
Do you support abolishing ICE?
Ossoff [smugly]: no
Any poll that has Jon Ossoff or Gavin Newsom as more likely to win a general election over AOC is a junk poll.
Leftists live in an alternate reality.
Virtually everything he said here makes him more electable.
You can disagree with some of his positions (I'd like to see him back abolishing ICE, for instance), but the idea that running to the far left is a winning strategy in this environment is wild.
This election shouldn't be about passing massive social programs. Run on that platform and you will lose.
It should be about systemic reforms that lower the cost of living, reduce the power of the executive, and make our system of governance functional again.
