As well all know well, childish political candidates with unrealistic policies always lose to bland centrist incrementalism.

i can understand the candidates themselves saying it as an excuse for "my donor buddies and i dont actually want this" but the weirdest thing is the rank and file dem voters who say it even though they don't gain anything

Like the British understood the day May announced the general. Lots of idiots made this into a game and or a tv show. They think themselves detached and above it all. So Theresa May refusing to do debates is "shrewd" because what a brilliant tactic! She sure made a fool of me the British voter!

if they acknowledge that good things could happen in government, they would be admitting that they have supported do-nothing POS politicians for most of their lives

one of the worst things about democratic politics in America are all the voters who try to act all wise knowledgable strategist and do the politicians' job for them and pre-excuse their mistakes

D&D is full of these people but they exist all over out in the wild too

you want policy X, ask for policy X, don't go "well we can very maybe to X if we go through Y and Z and A and B first and carefully shift public opinion and incrementalize our way to it, because asking for X is just way too radical" leave that poo poo up to the politicians and legislators and replace them if they don't do a good enough job of getting you X

Well he probably is the best you can ask for in a district made up of Suburbanites. I mean hey we should support the cuck then ensure he never thinks its a good idea to run for anything else.

wait from what i saw itt and twitter i thought bernie was the only one endorsing ultrasound guy but the rest of the dem leadership is also super behind the guy and he's supposed to appear at a perez/sanders thing. laffo that people are only mad at sanders for associating with ultrasound guy when literally every democrat is also associated with him by virtue of the dnc backing him

Oh Snapple!
Dec 27, 2005


See this is the exact kind of position I'm talking about when I say that if Ossoff apparently really needs the Bernie folks in this district to put him across the finish line, then he should loving offer them something. A positive position on this one thing likely would have been enough to get an "okay, fine" from these folks.

quote:

DNC Chair Tom Perez also defended the party’s support for Mello in a statement Thursday.

“Our job at the DNC is to help Democrats who have garnered support from voters in their community cross the finish line and win ― from school board to Senate,” Perez said. “The biggest threat to women’s reproductive rights is the relentless Republican attacks on women’s health care, including legal, accessible abortion services. And I won’t let anyone get in the way of our fight to protect a woman’s right to choose.”
