    If Newsom wins the primary, I’m out. I’d rather fight fascism on the streets than play this stupid ass good cop, bad cop game for another round. Fuck you, Democrats. Learn.

        Yes, but he also would have supported the genocide same as the centrists. Otherwise I love the guy.

      They’ve been doing this game for a while. (They, being establishment politics, Dems and Republicans working together)

      They push the needle further right, put up less and less progressive, human candidates, and hope more and more people either tune out of politics or say “I’m out.”

      The unwillingness for people to wait out the hard shit as long as it’s pushing the needle back the left has brought us to the point that we have to choose between demons and ghouls. We could have nipped this back when we were forced to choose between “boring and not-quite-progressive-enough” but there were vast numbers of people saying “I’m out” that far back, and I know for a fact most of ya’ll would love one of them “boring” presidents if it means we have institutions back.

        Yep, Biden, frail as he was, would have been better than trump, Hillary would have been better than trump, Biden was better than trump in 2020, Kamala would have been better than trump. If American refused to elect a Republican there would be room for a debate between a leftist and a liberal.

          Now we’re here wondering if we’re going to get an anti-christ funded billionaire for our next fascist president, or a nazi-funded billionaire for our next fascist president.

          Thanks guys, everyone out there who went “eww, I can’t vote for that person, they make me feel cringy and icky.” I’m sure you will feel comfortable with your choices in line for the box cars as the Palantir drones watch lovingly from overhead.
