SF's first vote results in, 0% precincts reporting, part of the early vote by mail reporting only which is the most conservative voting bloc, the two DSA-member & DSA-endorsed candidates are Jackie Fielder for state Senate and Shahid Buttar to unseat nancy pelosi. this is a top-two primary so only gotta get to 2nd place to move on to the general. day-of votes in SF and people that mail their ballots in late but still early enough to be counted tend to skew heavily progressive. jackie fielder is gonna get to the general almost certainly, she's at 27%, the incumbent dem at 56%, and the republican at 17%. shahid is at 10.5%, the republican at 12.5%, and pelosi at 70% with the rest of the vote split among like 4 other also-rans. shahid might get over the hump to be in the general, and this is the first time pelosi has campaigned at all since i've been here, but i don't like his chances at all. jackie has a real chance though.

in this election they'll likely be "right" to do so because many of us are ride or die.

i mean, i know that its the parties' job to attract the voters and they're not owed votes, but biden will not bring people out, especially from sanders' side of the party and they'll use that to bludgeon us. potentially the new "mcgovern" analogy going forward

hopefully bernie will just win...somehow

The other hope is, I think, that even the worse end of the current potential outcomes of California is within range of a contested convention, and I like to think that even if the party doesn't actually care, Biden himself probably wants to be president enough that Bernie might be able to extract concession in exchange for conceding before the convention.

More boomers will die by 2024. Hell many will be weakened by catching coravirus. So it will be an accelerated due off.

you know how people thought a cyberpunk future would be cool, and now that we are living through it, it’s actually just a lame farce full of morons and really uncool cringe? the collapse would be the same thing. you wouldn’t even get a cool mask with spikes. itd be just as unfun and embarrassing as now but with more death and genocide. stay positive because a productive future is the only future with dignity

I'd trust a promise from Biden about as much as I trust his memory.

i genuinely have no idea how any person can possibly be nostalgic for the obama presidency. we elected a guy who promised to change everything for the better and whose only lasting changes made literally everything worse. now you're voting for that again, but without the sheen of hoping for a better world.

Any time you feel like you want to stop fighting do this first: Think of the border camps.

Even if Biden won, do you really believe he'll shut that poo poo down or deal with ICE properly? Hell no.

Keep fighting for those people, the one's that can't fight for themselves, the people you don't know.

He won’t win. Lol. We need to be ready when he loses to beat it into the rank and file we are the only way forward. Boomers unfortunately may just require enough stress to get them to check out. Goal onward with those who will not be part of movement is Beatings will continue till morale improves.

it didn't get worse for them, they were well-off and comfortable and got to have nice warm patriotic feelings that america finally solved racism by electing a black do-nothing neolib and anyone who didn't like him was a racist hick who shouldn't be allowed to vote anyway
