return2ozmaSenate Democrats square off with each other in ‘spicy primaries’
panthera_The ideal Senate Democrat should have centrist views, young, a military veteran, articulate, and a family man. Prince Harry would be an example if he were a US citizen and had centrist views.
ClassStruggleFuck centrists. We’ve had 50 years of that and look where it’s gotten us. Pick a side, fascism or the working class.
Most voters are not on the extreme left or right. The centrist Merz became chancellor of Germany.
Because most viewers are sheep that have no balls to do what’s right
Got to say, you lost me at centrist. Why?
Most people do not have extreme left or right views. In Germany, Merz with his centrist views beat the rising far right AfD party.
Maybe, but a centrist will not actually address the underlying issues that make actors like AfD, and the Trump-wing of the Republican party, get bigger and bigger.
To put it differently: a Bill Clinton-type might manage to get elected and be popular, but he wouldn’t do anything to keep inequality from rising even more.
Incorrect. Merz adopted a stricter stance on immigration but not as harsh as the AfD party. Likewise, a centrist Democrat could be tough on border security but give migrants already here a path to citizenship. Inequality can never be completely eliminated because people aren’t equal in talent.

This has no bearing on what I said, I’ll repeat myself:

Nobody is talking about completely eliminating inequality
shows that voters are being given a choice
Illusion of choice, the party will always get who the party wants. And the few that may find their way in will either be forced to comply with the party or be primaried
Big deal. Knowing the voters, theyd just sit it out again then blame the party for shitty options.
Meanwhile, here in California we’ve got so many Democrats running for governor, we are almost certain to have a MAGA governor of the worst kind.
Honestly? Fucking good. I’m so sick to death of the neoliberal agenda that the establishment remainder of the party is desperately clinging to while their shit policies and political spine has turned even the most wholesome everyday Americans into people who are considering fascism. The truth of the matter at hand is the most bitter medicine: 1/3 of Americans tried to do the right thing be it voting genuinely for Harris or against Trump. The other 2/3 either didn’t participate or wanted him for whatever reason. Californians have had one of the strongest economies in the world. We’re such a strong market that our own environmental standard laws end up influencing the rest of the country (IE gas mileage and pollution) but when it comes to the ballot box we get fuck all treatment at the national level. So now the boy king neolib is finally done rising through the ranks of Californian politics and is hoping to be coronated by the remaining cusp of neolibs in power at the DNC as the front runner in 28, and because we can’t have nice things in California a vast array of candidates from a fucking billionaire who won’t shut the #@&! Up about progressive he is but couldn’t humble himself even once in the past 12 years I’ve been hearing about him to hold as much as one term in city counsel (he just wants to buy his way in like the rest of these fucks) to an east bay local congressmen who fucking dated a Chinese national who turned out to be an intelligence officer and who has taken a ton of AIPAC money. To everything in between.
I don’t feel great about the governors race because really it’s probably gonna end in the fucking sheriff winning. I say give it to Katie porter but even that feels like eating a burger that’s well past done. It’s edible but it’s gonna be disgusting going down.
It’s a shame what California has to offer up politically these days. Such a shame.
I hope you get to find out before any of us, Adolf.
Herbal GamerI thought spicy meant sexy?
primaries a bit disapointing here. very heavy machine type push against progressives. biss one against kat. its not that biss is so bad but kat would have been a huge message to the party. an old school bumped a progressive assessor out. quigley kept his seat. Thing is its not like the canidates are bad I just wanted more of a progressive shakeup.
I feel like I’m reading a bad Google translate. What does “biss one against kat” mean? What’s a progressive assessor?
sorry bis and kat were canidates running against each other in the primary for a house seat a progressive assessor was a non machine canidate who won last time but got pushed out by an old school family name in the area. He actually did very well considering its a period where assesments had to go way up. I almost thing the machine party types did not want to win for a term so that someone else could deal with it and then swoop in.
