I am pretty sick of the Democrats bullshit, but I’m even more sick of the Republicans bullshit.
I hate it here.
Libs be libbing
Color me surprised that the Democrats have as much blame for our current situation as the Republicans. Nobody, NOBODY, wanted to return to normal; they wanted real change and the best they got was state-sponsored financing for tech companies and unequal economic policies
My god! You mean they attached a bomb collar around her neck and said if she didn't comply they would detonate it?
Wait, they didn't do anything of the sort? Well, sounds like they didn't force her to do anything and the only thing stopping her from speaking out was her own spineless cowardice.
"Leadership"
Like they were ever going to.
If she was going to do something different to what the party wants, she'd never have been their nominee to start with.
Wow, so if true this implies that in the Democratic party even the women running for president has to do what the big man says. Hope this is false.
It's definitely not false, it's the playbook all of the political giants have been running for very many years now.
Or else what? Withdraw the nomination? (You can't withdraw a nomination lol)
Harris chose this
Cut off funding, maybe. They would have guaranteed a loss with that maneuver thoug.
Even this seems far fetched. Why would they risk something like that in an election that had so much hanging on it.
You know how in chess notation, questionable moves are marked with a question mark. That would have been a double question mark move. But dems have been making one questionable move after another.
I'm convinced that the DNC isn't worried about winning any more races than they have to do that they survive as a political entity. Just going off the push the minority leaders have been making and the stream of emails and phone calls I get, as someone registered independent.
I see and hear nothing about actual policy change or progressivism from the names in the critical positions, and a lot about donations to "help us win next time, guys, for real this time!"
My senators (both women, both dems), haven't actually responded to any of my calls, emails, or letters asking for their stances or plans for change. I have got several form responses that end with a call for donations, though. 🤷
Yes. As much as the Dems insist "This is a critical juncture, and we need to unite", they mean "You need to unite behind whatever we say you need to do".
See post-election: The only thing the Dems want to do is wear matching outfits, rather than vote "No".
They were already hanging the future of the country on an old man who struggled to stay awake through press conferences.
It worked for Trump.
Exactly
Oh? Pulling a “Republican”? My wife made me do it? Wasn’t my fault? Attempting to distance herself so she can make a run for office again.
As a liberal male from CA; she's just not likeable. She gives off the energy of that high strung person everyone's trying to avoid talking to at the cookout.
Then again Donald Trump gives off that creepy conspiracy theorist pedo vibe that you'd also avoid and the right loves him.
I’m less concerned with likability than I am with the reports of her being a bully to staff.
Yeah, seriously. She's an adult. She could have just said "Thanks Joe, now go away." What could he have done? Fired her?
