Fake it for the votes

Sure, sure - so who are the Lemmyleft promoting instead?

. . .

It . . . you have to have someone. To, y’know, recieve the votes.

. . . Anyone? There’s a big thing happening in a couple of years. I’m told these things need to be planned out or something.

Since when is

you must already have a candidate

A reason to say a terrible politician is terrible?

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?

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?

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.

Purity tests

This always means “I have no standards and I expect you to abandon yours.”
