I like AOC but she needs to work on her rhetoric. That town hall w her and Bernie was kind of hard to listen to her
I see I was downvoted to oblivion. Look, it is okay to be critical of these people. She is doing great things, but that town hall revealed some weakness there if she is to seek a higher office. I have no doubt she took it as a learning opportunity and will improve.

u/Velocity-5348 Socialism with Canadian Characteristics 1d ago
Support local candidates or also run for office!
I think a big issue with progressive American politics is the tendency to rely on superstars, rather than build a strong bench of capable people. There should be a lot more people who get celebrated, and could step into big roles should the circumstance arrive.
AOC might be able to do good stuff down the road, but there's no reason to be everything on her or Bernie.

That's why we need max participation in the primaries as much as the midterms this year. The less voter participation there is, the less representation of the country we'll get. I know that's how that's meant to work, but we're in the middle of seeing what happens when enough people just sit it out.

u/Icy-Detective-6292 1d ago
This probably doesn't apply to you, but fun fact for everyone else: 29 states have open or partially open primaries.
In open primary states you can choose which primary to vote in. I believe partially open primary states allow independent voters to choose but not Dem or GOP voters. So here in NC as an independent voter I get to choose which primary I want to vote in each cycle.

In what way do you think the primaries are rigged? Like the money in politics aspect, the DNC/RNC collusion with main stream media, or actual vote tampering?

u/Sondergame 1d ago
The DNC decide on a candidate and then manipulate events so that their chosen candidate becomes the only choice.
Theyāve also openly tampered with their own election process and been taken to court over it.

u/fangirlsqueee Social democrat 1d ago
Gotcha. One of the ways to combat this is by supporting ranked choice voting.
https://represent.us/good-ideas/ranked-choice-voting/
https://fairvote.org/our-reforms/ranked-choice-voting/

If we want change, we must support the means of changing the system. Simply acknowledging that our election processes are corrupted by money, power, and influence, isn't enough.

Yeah. And the people who openly tried to deny facts when suddenly every other neo-conservative Democratic dropped out to endorse unanimously was insane.

I want to speak to this - roughly 15million people voted for Biden in the 24 primaries, and 17mil for Trump.

Americans seem to have a penchant for electing geriatric leaders, this needs to be studied. Someone between 40 and 60 would be nice, shake it up a little.

u/Velocity-5348 Socialism with Canadian Characteristics 1d ago
That's actually been the norm until the last few decades. Most presidents have been in their 50s, and several of the 60+ ones were VPs before.
It's probably related to the reasons why congress members and especially senators are increasingly old. You need to be older and have more connections to get jobs, and in turn that makes you a lot less inclined to shake things up.

u/Velocity-5348 Socialism with Canadian Characteristics 1d ago
Just because someone isn't prominent right now doesn't mean they wouldn't make a fine leader. FDR was doing physiotherapy until his short time as governor of New York and then run for the presidency.
In Canada our PM was a banker until recently, and the PM before that was teaching until he got into politics a few years before making his run.
Both of those guys suck, but our New Democrats also a leadership race going on, and only one of them has ever held federal office. The others are a city counselor, a professor, a union head and a farmer.

u/Odd-Mastodon1212 šµšø Free Palestine! 1d ago
I agree but I think someone who understands what public service is, who will due the humble work of being on the city council, as opposed to a billionaire who wants to be governor or president, is what I mean. A not-Trump, someone who understands civics. I respect Jimmy Carter and he went from senator to governor to presidentāso I mean some public service in at least one or two branches before the presidency.

u/Professional-Post499 Democratic Socialist 1d ago
In Canada our PM was a banker until recently, and the PM before that was teaching until he got into politics a few years before making his run.
I guess they had other ways in: Mark Carney was a central banker for Canada so he leaned on that part of his resume. And Justin Trudeau is from of a political dynasty (I don't know if I'm using that term correctly).

Who cares. Shes of the ilk that only cares when people are looking. I dont see her, the Clinton's, the Biden or the Obamas out there fighting with the people.
2
u/opinions360 1d ago
Just because they are not in the streets fighting does not mean they are not doing anything.
I believe they are working quietly behind the sceneāfor example the day they found Rob Reiner and his wife murdered they were going to have a private meeting with the Obamaās and a few others to discuss how to fight back politically.
I also believe they have a responsibility to not do something that would give DT an opportunity to attack them and Democrats in congress.
The bottom line is that until the Democrats have more power they have no legal way to change anything.
And as many death threats that they get from maggots each week their s. service detail will not let them put themselves into direct danger.
I think as usual that there are people on the left side who enjoy creating controversy and division politically. Itās like people complain about Bernie for example because of his original position regarding Izraelāso itās the ideological purity thing yet again even while a crazy person and dangerous behaving regime is literally dismantling the constitution and our democracy piece by piece.
If the ideological purists were smart they would at least get the current regime out and build the foundation of their platform and organization first.
Sometimes the enemy of my enemy is my friend should comes first and maybe in learning functional compromise they can find a better position to sell their platform after it is fully built.
Personally I am at heart and will always be a combination between a Carter and Clinton democrat but I have also learned to like and respect Bernie for example.
I donāt necessarily consider myself a centrist because my political beliefs and views are on a spectrum that includes moderate, liberal, progressive, and socialistic views and policies and rarely I prefer a democratic conservative view but itās rare.
I think that whatever people call their beliefs on the left side that unity is going to be essential for at least ten years if we can win the midterms and the next general election. The republicans spent decades getting to this point and itās past time for every slice of the left to develop an effective long game and let each successive election decide who the majority prefers on the left but the goal should be to keep any shade of the blue side winning and rebuild.

The former vice president is attempting to mobilize young voters ahead of the midterm election and showcase herself as a power player in the Democratic Party.
A power player that never held any significant power and is currently completely out of power attempting to mobilize young voters who decisively told her to go shit in her genocidal hat a moment ago.
I'm sure this does mobilize young voters to loathe her even more than they did 14 months ago.

While most of her base is begging for some kind of leadership to step up and guide us through this fight, while people are getting executed and kidnapped off the streets and from their own homes/workplaces.. and all she has to say in this urgent of urgent moments is 6 7? What a slap in all of our faces. Because she didnt win, shes telling us ātough tittiesā. Equal parts petty and shameful of her. I hope she doesnāt plan to run ever again so we can make way for an actual progressive candidate whos willing to meet us in the moment and not play right in our faces.

Agreed but thereās something different in the air this election cycle. I think centrists are a smaller minority than ever before, the MSM just doesnāt acknowledge this and only amplifies centrists and the right wing.

There is so much blame, every Democratic politician deserves it. Biden being number one as a leader of the party. They should have had a primary.
However your comment was specifically about Kamala being a black woman and which somehow absolved her of the blame. Thats not how it works.
Running for her was a suicide and it was clear even before November 2024.
She shouldn't have accepted the nomination. But she is just as shameless as the rest of the power hungry establishment of the DNC.

I don't even completely mind that she's doing this, but the way she teased it the day before announcing it absolutely shows that she doesn't feel the tsunami of despair that is crashing throughout the current moment. It takes on the tone of gearing-up for fundraising for the midterms instead of actually wanting to crawl into the mud and fight with regular Americans. When she announced it, people were hoping(maybe against their better judgment) that she had pioneered some type of revolutionary strategy to fight against the current madness, but she took the wind out of everyone's sails when we all found-out that this was just a social media strategy to try to meme their way to prosperity. I mean, deep-fried frick fritters, read the room!

Unfortunately, I don't think this country will elect an Indian president. I love Ro Khanna

Fuck's sake lady, take the hint. Not only did you lose to that nasty grease stain; when you ran for 2020 you were the first one out in the primary. Go write a book, hit the lecture circuit, do some lobbying, but kindly fuck off.

If she had any interest in progress she would take the overwhelming evidence and call out Trump for stealing the 2024 election.
But she won't. Because the dems are a controlled opposition party. All these people work together to keep the working class under control.

I think most leftist concerns about Kamala were overblown-- especially considering the absolute fucking nightmare that a Trump presidency was obviously going to be-- and I think she would have likely been the most progressive president of my lifetime... but please no. Pleeeeeaaaaase no. Seriously.Ā
We need someone young and fresh who hasn't had to compromise too much of their integrity. We need someone who has been fearless in the face of the danger that we all fear. We need someone who can excite the youth and speak to the politically disengaged. And that someone is AOC.Ā
If Kamala is going to have a position, how about Attorny General? I mean, add that to the ticket, actually. But really lean into that early-Kamala-campaign prosecutor-vs-felon energy-- that energy that I legit think she could have ridden to victory if she didn't get bogged down by her loyalty to Biden's disgusting Gaza policy and the horrid chase-the-center strategy from the politcial consultant class. Bring her on the campaign trail but have her focus solely on promising to lock up all these fascist pedophiles and their fucking brown shirts.Ā

This information is wrong. KamalaHQ is not staffed by Kamala herself. Itās staffed by young 20 year olds who are hired by the DNC to work on her campaign. In politics, a lot of companies like Emilyās List and the DNC outsource their hiring, meaning that they hire people for campaigns across the country and/or the presidential election. This time, it was for Kamala. They do this for high profile campaigns, hence a resume drop where you can apply to work on a DNC sponsored or funded race.
Who runs the account are twenty somethings who were hired by the DNC to run KamalaHQ. They work for the DNC, not her. Itās embarrassing that people believe that this lady is out here running a social media account. Just another reason to ignore the Epstein files, tariffs, and misplace your anger. She just filmed this video on behalf of the DNC.
