    I’m once again reminded of the secret attack plan from Blackadder 4.

    Capt. Blackadder: We all climb out of our trenches and march slowly across no man’s land?

    Capt. Darling: How do you know that Blackadder? It’s classified information.

    Capt. Blackadder: It’s what we did the last time, the time before that and the previous fifteen before that.

    General Melchit: Precisely! The absolute last thing the watchful Hun will expect is for us to do the exact same thing as the past seventeen times thus catching him entirely by surprise!

    They’ll do everything but what will actually get them elected willingly. Neo-liberals need to wake up and realize it’s either going to have progress away from capitalism or just all of us drowning in fascism because they refuse much needed and necessary change.

    Please do! But, let’s have a completely fair primary with lots of other great candidates to choose amongst as well.

    Imagine losing twice the orange shit heel. Like getting back up, looking in the mirror, taking full stock of all your pro cop and ideal stances and thinking “no I was on to something the first time. I’ll make them see”

    I can’t anymore with this place. Release me

    I mean, she’d be better than Trump. But that’s such a ridiculously low bar.

    Surely the Dems can come up with a better candidate that her, Gavin Newsom, or some similarly uninspiring/greasy candidate. Right? Right???

      But Harris is the best candidate… For the interests of the wealthy members of the DNC.

      She will keep things exactly how they are, but act like they have changed for the better. The rich will get richer, and the poor will get assaulted by police.

      Why would the DNC give a single fuck about the desires of anyone but themselves? They suffer no consequences for their actions.

      A chimpanzee with a switchblade would be better than Trump. At least it wouldnt start a war in Iran … or participate in a child sex trafficking ring.

      That isn’t the question, the question is over whether the DNC and the ruling class allow any other candidate to run against Trump.

        Well, we’re in luck, the new chair of the DNC (Ken Martin) wants more candidates like Zohran Mamdani, and he has complete control over the DNC until August 2029.

        He’s also pouring money into local races, supporting the local democratic parties the previous few DNC chairs mostly ignored.

          Bernie Sanders

          WTF is this US fetish for old people. Saunders will be 86 by 2028, if he gets to that age.

          America will not elect a woman. Not a young woman, and not a young, latina woman. Pale, Male and Stale or its another 4 years of the GOP. Stop pretending you are some progressive European country.

    So sick of the US’s neo liberals masquerading as left. A lot can change in a few years hopefully there will be enough change. In the end all that matters is if people wake up to the lies before it too late. It’s incredible how bad it has to get before people wake up.

    The MAGA movement is crumbling but only time will tell if it’s enough. A lot of delusional neo liberals think things will just go back to normal if they get in office next term

      I, personally, think that what Germans did to get corporate money out of government is miniscule compared to what Americans will have to do.

      Yes, it is terrifying to see, like watching the tide recede before a tsunami and being helpless to convince people to stop wandering out onto the exposed seafloor… while being condescended by those same people.

    If the Democratics run Harris or New some I might actually lose my mind. have we learned nothing from the past decade?
