The Biden admin showed that you can't just vote D, those Ds need to not be controlled opposition only fighting to rehabilitate the right.

The question is do you want to be Run buy a fascist regime? How did that work out for Hitler and Mussolini.
Yes, resisting fascism is the priority but it is not the only serious problem we have. We can deal with more than one problem at a time. Building a large majority requires discussion about the issues we share in common. We must continue to dialogue and seek solidarity.
Yes I agree. When we say seek solidarity this must be a bottom up effort. All politics is local. We must stop expecting somebody at the top to direct it all. We The People form the government and we do it through the parties. We are the parties.
The Democratic Party is perceived as being misandristic and lost the votes of millions of males and their mothers as a result.
What makes it be perceived as being misandrists? Do you personally perceive it that way?
Yes Kamala Harris is a woman. Is it more than that?
Nope. Walz would have won with the same platform. That's how puerile US politics is.
Walz couldn't deliver his own state as the VP pick because the democratic platform was to support the slaughter of Gaza.
And that’s just stupid. Look how it turned out. This purity BS is going to lose democracy for the US and the whole world. Choose red or blue. And vote. That’s it. That’s the answer. If you don’t like the choices get more involved. Learn how it works.
What's more involved than advocating for better policies from the folks trying to earn our votes. You may think people are stupid for caring about a genocide but that won't convince anyone to vote blue.
I don’t think people are stupid for caring about genocide. I think people should care about all genocides and wars and all suffering. I think it’s stupid to choose Trump over Harris. Not voting or 3 party voting at the National level does not absolve you from responsibility it is dereliction of duty
It is especially true @ the Presidential level of politics that either the Republican or the Democrat will win in the general election/electoral college. @ that level we can’t expect candidates to please us or cater to whims. We the people are hiring one or the other.
But you must realize that argument is what keeps losing Ds elections. That saying candidates shouldn't be expected to please us just tells folks voting is useless. I deeply regret that I cast a vote for Harris over the bodies of murdered children, you need to understand that so Ds stop losing.
Tankies aren't into civic duty. Self governance is wasted on them.
Dems won Minnesota. Hamas started the Gaza war and uses human shields.
No, I don't. However, millions of males and their mothers see the Democratic Party as misandristic. What we've learned is that misogyny is an even more powerful force than racism. Clinton and Harris can both attest to it.
There's been a decades long propaganda campaign by the right to conflate basic misandry with basic feminism and the idea of women in politics. Seems to me a better strategy would be to push back on that nonsense instead of not running women candidates.
Exactly. It’s time to evolve but at this point when we have to get Project 2025 out and Republicans out we may have to take it into consideration. We don’t have to worry about Presidential election now. Vote blue in 2025 & 2026 for every spot on your ballot.
Amen
Walz would have won and everyone including Maga would be better off. Misogyny is presently a US reality.
