The lesson from this primary and election as a whole (especially if Biden ends up winning) is that people need to break out of the online leftist Twitter bubble. Basically everything that seized the attention of the bubble had no real world relevance - all the bullshit about Warren and Buttigieg was just in the imaginations of the terminally online.

I mean, I'm pretty sure Buttigieg systematically purging all the black people he could from positions of power in South Bend was a factor in his lack of black support in the primaries as well as being a reason people here hate him and why he's not going to be elected to any future positions of power he acquires, even if the DNC is going to keep shoving his racist rear end wherever they can for decades to come.

Rimusutera posted:Its the height of condescension to tell the majority of people alienated by the Democratic party's political decisions that they're in fact obligated to vote for the Dems for whatever reason, shifting away the onus of actually putting forward good candidates. Yeah. Also voting for a Biden/Harris ticket endorsed by Kissenger with people like Navarro on staff isn't a vote against fascism.

eggyolk posted:Biden Harris isn't gonna set the world on fire, but considering how much everything has been burning I'm okay with that. Honestly it'll be more interesting to see how a Biden cabinet gets filled out to reverse the damage and define how much influence Bernie actually exerted. Im here from 2021 to tell you the answer is nothing Jamie Dimon will be Treasury Secretary Mark Evers will be retained as Defense Secretary. Devos will be replaced by Cory Booker, who used to work with her Like the game now is to guess how many Republicans are gonna be in Bidens cabinet. I'm gonna go ahead and say 3

Ah okay. To clarify, she's not part of Biden's campaign even though she's an active supporter and drumming up more rightwing Latino support for Biden. Which I know seems like splitting hairs, but his actual Latino outreach person is a Civil Rights lawyer and grassroots organizer. And mentioning her with Jani actively obscures that.

Biden campaign had Ana Navarro headline an event for them. She boasts about her dad being a Contra and all the brave raping he did in defense of capitalism. You can write off reaching out to the Never Trumpers as the enemy of my enemy is my friend, but from a left perspective it is very disconcerting how easily and comfortably the Dems are tapping Republicans for outreach. Makes you wonder what they're promising them behind the scenes, because lol if you think a single Republican breathing today actually cares about the spirit of the nation or whatever other nonsense they ramble about while they enjoy their massive Trump tax cuts.

Can I point out it would have been much smarter to give Marianne Williamson and Andrew Yang speaking spots at the DNC than John Kasich if you're seeking to expand the party. I guess there weren't enough Lich's on the schedule already.

Code Jockey posted:Why does it never occur to these people, that if they a) think that Trump must be stopped at all costs, b) think the Dem candidate sucks, and in most cases c) believe, for whatever reason, that there are only two parties to choose from, not to push back against the Democrat leadership and make them choose someone else? The thing is that some liberals were preemptively making noises about how they'd "likely be disappointed" by Biden's pick but it's "important to rally around Biden's pick", before they had any idea who he had even chosen. I'm convinced that a lot of the scolding is not even directed at recalcitrant leftists (like us) so much but at themselves. That is to say, I think they're trying to convince themselves that Biden is good and will provide the change we need. I've always said that if Biden-Harris being a great ticket were obvious, there'd be no need for the finger wagging about the "dang Cheeto in the White House".

A big theme with liberals has been wild projection pretty much the entire year. They've been the most volatile out of everyone, including leftists and full on MAGA, from start to finish, and sometimes you can almost visibly see the contradictions tearing them apart before they beat those treacherous thoughts back down. I'm sure by November some will win the victory over themselves and love Joe Biden. (And likely just in time to see him lose and have it all be for naught)

America is built on white supremacy and colonialism, fascism has always been here. Just because it hadn't hit her gentrified white person approved neighborhood in California yet doesn't change that. Voting for Biden wont make it go away, it will do the exact opposite.

Sure, she is not the lead outreach person, just someone that the campaign tapped to do Latino outreach occasionally. Doesn't change much though. And if you look at his team for Latin America, it doesn't get much better. People like Juan Gonzalez of the Cohen group, who not too long ago was praising Trump's approach to Venezuela and mourning the retirement of Ros-Lehtinen.

Speaking of Latin America, looking forward to 4-8 more years of my Cuban family struggling while it gets harder and harder to send them what they need, but what really matters is that we're taking a stand for Democracy in Venezuela and sanctioning the Cuban government for being their allies, that'll show 'em.
