I don’t like JFK Jr, at all but how is he a “spoiler” if he’s running in the primaries? I thought 3rd parties are spoilers.
Absolutely, which is why the Democrats need to embrace progressive policies that are supported by the vast majority of americans like Universal Healthcare and Marijuana Legalization.
Also, how did LBJ pass the Civil Rights Act when half of his own party were Dixiecrats?
2000 redux
Why are Democrats Lying about the 2000 election? Gore Won, the Bush Bros sabotaged the election, Bush’s victory was declared by the supreme court.
Likewise far more registered Dems voted Bush than all green voters combined.
Stop rewriting history and legitimizing the Bush Administration.
You’re right about what a clusterfuck it would be, I’m glad you are well aware of the Sad Sorry State of the Democratic Party.
The Easy Solution for that ClusterFuck is to maybe not try to rig the primary against Sanders. But of course they won’t do that. They will waste hundreds of millions of dollars to make sure they get another corporate puppet in there who has as much of a chance of winning as Biden.
That again, does not disprove the fact that Biden is deeply unpopular and his election is not a safe bet. Especially if the long predicted economic crisis comes to pass or any other number of things could happen. I would be happier if Biden himself just made more commitments to progressive issues, ending the blockade or cuba or freeing political prisoners could be done with a strike of the pen. But we know he won’t do anything like that.
We picked Biden in 2020 and picking a candidate one year comes with an implicit outcome of picking them in the next election, if they win the first time.
This is strange logic honestly, as the DNC said in court in 2017 about having fair and impartial primaries “There’s no contractual obligation” for us to elect him again.
That bit about waiting about 2028 is rich, why would the DNC change then? I doubt the threat of fascism would go away, they probably would have made more gains by then. They will say ‘not this year, next time’ forever. Maybe send that back to the thinktank and see if you can be not so transparent lol
The DNC is going to do this charade of trying to browbeat and guilt trip young and minority voters into getting out the vote like they did in 2016, and I don’t think it’s gonna work. because that’s not how you win elections. You win elections by mobilizing voters, offering them things they want and delivering - the dems want to do everything but give people what they want and then wonder why they lose to a party 75% of the country hates
polls and Jokes Aside, what would make you think that Biden’s popularity is actually going to increase? Biden is no Obama. Especially if there is both Cornel West and Joe Manchin who will be chipping away at both his left and centrist support. It could even be the GOP splits and runs 2 or more candidates. I Don’t think there even is precedent for this, and well, I’m just gonna say I don’t think Biden has the kind of political acumen to navigate that kind of chaotic and unprecedented election year.
Very True, we cannot prediction the future, that’s why I think by this time next year Cornel West will be the front runner 😎
That’s exactly it. They seem to think never losing another election is a realistic option without also embracing a FDR style populism.
It’s like Cornel West says:
Milquetoast Neoliberalism Can Never Defeat Fascism
If they’re so threatened by this guy, maybe they should embrace medicare 4 all or marijuana legalization, the Green New Deal etc. That’s ^^ the bare minimum really
I’ll agree with you there that polls generally can’t be trusted, and I agree people need to get out and vote, but It makes our job a lot easier if you have a candidate that people actually like. So I really hope – for the sake of the republic – that they convince Joe to step down and open up the primaries.
Biden beat trump in 2020, now he is polling neck and neck with Biden, we Need to Run Someone Else or Trump is Going To Win.
I respect the right of the autonomy of instances and like I said, this is something within the domain of their individual moderation decisions, but we do in fact share collective interests, it’s like with federating with facebook, it’s not just a matter of individual instance preferences, anyone who federates with Meta would be blocked by everyone who isn’t because they then become data mining conduits.
This is somewhat similar to the DCMA issue, the copyright trolls are the enemy of all of us and if you’re willing to compromise with them without even a plausible legal threat. Well that hurts the rest of us. You might as well be inviting them to go after the other evil pirate instances.
to my knowledge this is the one instance that isn’t willing to take that stand lol, it should be understand that all instances in the federation share a common interest to protect their users against copyright trolls
What young progressives are in the Biden Administration? from what I’ve been reading, Biden has actually brought in a bunch of old neoconservatives like Elliot Abrams of Iran-Contra infamy whom Biden has nominated for a key diplomatic position
that may technically be true, but I think people should be more willing to take a stand, and not just pre-emptively bow down to the copyright trolls, because it’s basically legally unenforceable especially the larger this the federation gets
I’ll give them credit that they didn’t defed the entire instance and I guess it’s their server their rules
Well, I’d hate to break it to you but Kamala is a worse choice
I appreciate him having the courage to say what everyone thinks, I don’t now who it would be, I’m sure there are many viable candidates who would step forward, but Biden is not a safe bet in 2024.
What an absolutely cowardly move. It’s one thing to not allow piracy on your own server, that’s you’re right, but to prevent your users from accessing communities on other servers? Way to give in to copyright trolls without even being asked. I would understand even if they received some kind of Cease and Desist. It doesn’t seem like it, it seems like they’re just willing sycophants who will probably federate with Meta at first opportunity.
Why I don’t understand how anybody takes this guy seriously when Cornel West is running
I’m So Glad that Cornel West is Running because he’s immediately exposing all the lies of the Liberals and how they don’t care about democracy itself. If Democrats feel so threatened by West maybe they will adopt some of his promises, like for example, Ending the Blockade of Cuba, or pardoning political prisoners, things West Promises to do first days in office.
yes, but that’s not what a ‘spoiler’ is
