It's not that I'm waiting for a perfect politician. My perfect politician would be running on Indigenous sovereignty and Landback, reparations for chattel slavery and imperialism, requiring companies to be owned by their employees, defunding the police, a 100% wealth tax above $100 million,
Liberals do not understand the position we give them *is* our compromise
My perfect politician is a revolutionary, not a sustainer of the (rapidly deteriorating) status quo.
So when are you running? I'd vote for that.
If some of these guys were in the running it would at least move the overton window to the left a little
You think you can negotiate with yourself!! But the USA has a terrible electorate and powerful right wing media. What you or I would prefer doesn’t change that.
Same here! Ideally a native woman whose married to a woman. THAT would make America great...for the first time.
If you add nationalizing all fossil-fuel companies so we can phase them out completely over time while retraining their workers for jobs in a clean-energy economy, then sign me up.
Yeah basically. My "perfect candidate" is so aggressively left leaning I'm pretty sure it would make the average American liberal have a stroke just thinking about such a person running.
I'm willing to comprise on most things with the exception of rooting for someone that's a genocidal minority hating freak and even THAT'S too high of standards for people that claim they hate republicans because they're genocidal minority hating freaks...
We need to create and hold these visions!
Put me in coach! (Im gonna brush up on some schooling first but i gotta run for something)
If this ever happens we will know who rubbed the magic lamp and got three wishes
Very close to my position on elected officials (not politicians), but instead of defunding the police, I want to reduce the police duties and cut back the expense as we increase the funding for mental and physical health care to eliminate the need for police intervention!
guaranteeing free food, healthcare, shelter, and education to all, and banning residential evictions. But I would settle for someone who believes in true equality for everyone.
it's like they cannot comprehend how serious we are when we say, "Bernie WAS the compromise!"
Bernie is seen as a centrist in most free countries but the overton window in the US has shifted so far to the right that he is seen as far-left here.
Sheryl ❤️❤️ Please You are the best spirit that exists, Han, please help my family, do not turn off the hope
I swear to you, my friend, that I am dying of hunger and disease. One quote from you will change my life. 💔🖤
I would settle for someone who would fix all the damage done by Trump without making my life worse. I don't believe Gavin Newsom will do either of those things.
That's true. My "perfect candidate" is someone so left, so "woke," so unabashed in their fight for people that it would make most centrists blush. I am not asking for that. I am asking for candidates that don't kick down encampments with their own hands or host a bro-talk session with Charlie Kirk.
Sheryl Waikai 2028 for president! ✌️
If there was a real left in this country...
Pft, but who would vote for all that? Let me go check to see if any votes have come in for this so-called "perfect" politician...
NOW we're talking! 👏
