    Guys keep on shitting on Gavin. I didn’t think we have enough screeching at each other for mid terms or even the next president.

    We need to make sure everyone passes our purity test. Better trump than a moderate Democrat!

      Purity tests will be the end of Democracy.

      While citizens skip voting, vote third party, and prop up weak candidates the authoritarian in chief will spend his final days on a throne Robert Baratheon style. Hopefully he’s gored by a pig sooner rather than later.

        I mean, as long as he doesn’t openly support genocide or rape kids, he is better then the last two candidates. The purity test bar is pretty low imo, it’s kind of really easy to pass (easier for one party though).

          This kind of idiocy is why we have a literal genocide enabling rapist and (probable) pedophile in the whitehouse riding roughshod over the constitution while Congress and the Supreme Court packed full of his shitbird lackeys cheer him on from the sidelines.

            “Is it the party that chose to run a platform on apathy and genocide that are to blame for losing the election? No, it is everyone else”

            Sorry for expecting them to represent me and not a foreign state bro, lmao. We wouldn’t have Trump if they at least pretended to care about us. They fucked us over for daddy Israel, I’m not going to shut up about it.

            I voted for Kamala btw, I felt gross about it. I’m really hoping we can encourage them to give us candidates that dont say things that make me sick to my stomach. Instead we tell the dems they aren’t to blame and it’s the voters fault. What a joke, you are part of the problem if you actively defend them and their behavior last election.

              Who would you have rather voted for?

      Do you love him? Is he your favorite choice for 2028? It’s he really the best we could find?

          Checks the room… Uhhh polls extremely well just like Kamala did.

          When you push forward a nonviable candidate and insist voters love them, you don’t then get to blame the same voters for not voting for them, especially when they keep telling you “we don’t want him”

          And no, better them Trump is not a good enough reason to vote for him (if you get to vote at all, let’s not kid ourselves and pretend elections will happen like normal).

              You missed the point entirely. The polls all but guaranteed Kamala would win, but we we’re very vocally telling you we weren’t voting for her, she was a nonviable candidate. The polls mislead you and instead of acknowledging that she didn’t win because she wasn’t a popular choice, you blamed people who didn’t vote for her and she adopting the same losing strategy.

              The polls are misleading, speak to real people, they don’t want Newsom. When you insist on him being the candidate because of the polls conducted by capitalist organizations, he still won’t win because the people are rejecting genocide supporting right wing candidates that spent years warning us about Trump and the best they can do is crack weak jokes at him.

              Newsom is not your friend, insist on a viable candidate.

                very vocally telling you we weren’t voting for her

                Thanks for admitting the current situation is your fault

                  Zero critical thinking or reading compensation skills, only brain-rot propaganda.

                  Since the only reason I even became a US citizen is because the US and Israel destroyed and stole my homeland, you can thank them for me even having the privilege of not voting for them.

                  I’m not obligated to save your cushy lifestyle as an American when you refuse to stop funding the genocide of my people, but yes of course it’s completely my fault that you refused to listen when I told you ahead of time that I’m not voting for them. There was no way for you to have predicted that, you had CNN and MSNBC polls that guaranteed Kamala was going to win in a landslide and I ruined it.

                  And now that you’re making the same mistake again, you’re preemptively blaming those of us who oppose soft fascism because to you the only boogyman worth fighting is Trump. And how do you fight Trump’s fascism? By selling maga inspired memes and calling JD Vance “just dance dance”. Good work.

                  Your party could’ve put up a viable candidate instead of a senile old man and a cop. It’s squarely on you that you can’t win elections, not on people who won’t vote for someone as thoroughly unelectable as blue presidential candidates

              I think you misunderstand statistics and polls. You shouldnt be making conclusions based on them. All you are saying is you want the most likely chance to be “right”.

      Gavin is a piece of shit. This is not a purity test, we just don’t want a piece of shit pitted against trump for the fourth election in a row. Stop dickriding a man who personally rips up homeless encampments, we can do so fucking much better and showing him support now, when there’s not even a fucking election, just proves your don’t give anything close to a flying fuck about homeless people or trans people and think platforming fascists is totally ok
