i already tried voting for a compromise candidate in 2008 and then “push him left”. he not only didn’t get pushed left, he went unimpeded to the right for 8 years

can’t wait until I am called a racist misogynist for not voting for kamala in 2028 and a homophobe for not voting for democratic nominee pete buttigieg in 2032 as they propose affordable access to sub-100 degree weather as their signature policy planks

Yeah, I'm not looking forward to the Khive hitsquads trying to doxx me when I point out that Kopmala has done bad things.

Fortunately, nobody actually cares what I think outside of Something Awful, and even that's a highly dubious claim at best, so I should have a head start at least.

Why are they so upset? They utterly owned the Bernie people got their mommy a great job.

Because for Libs, it isn't enough that their enemy merely did not win. They must be utterly crushed and humiliated at every turn, forced to lay down and put their teeth on the curb at every opportunity. Anything less is unacceptable to them. Any day where Bernie is not forced to flagellate himself before Hillary and Kopmala while begging forgiveness for running against them is a day that the system has failed them.

I will say I'm surprised that the Dems haven't dug up the rotting corpse of MeToo by now. I didn't think they'd let Joe have this much time behind the wheel before getting rid of him to make room for Kamala, seeing as how she was the one the establishment wanted in the first place.

I think they're just hedging their bets.

Consider:
They dunk on Kamala: This gives them a headstart on justifying Joe running for reelection when everybody convinced themselves he was not initially going to.

And then if Joe does decide not to run, or eats poo poo and sundown's for the last time, they can flip it into some phoenix rising from the ashes narrative.

Does anyone remember or have that D&D post from a while back with someone referencing an anime as part of an argument for why the US should go to war with China? Want to show it to my friend but forget where someone quoted it. I think it was quoted in this thread at some point.

The sort of Gen Z people to end up in politics (or at least federal-level politics) will be sickos of the highest order, I guarantee you. The same is true for millennials, but I have a feeling that it'll actually become worse with younger generations. While the generations in question are worse-off materially with each successive one, the sort of people to be in politics will be from the privileged minority, and being a well-off member of a poor generational cohort is going to make these people even more like a modern aristocracy than their older counterparts (because any illusion of a meritocracy will be shattered, while the people in question still need to justify their own circumstances - they'll be forced to resort to increasingly more hosed up ideas to justify the situation).

Kamala Harris didn't go anywhere in the 2020 primary, but as vice president she is very popular with Democrats. Her overall approval is a little lower than Biden's, but there are other explanations (for example she is a minority woman, name recognition is lower, and Fox News is trying to smear her as an alternative after repeatedly failing to smear Biden).

It's especially gross because when Biden said the "shoot them in the leg" thing, cops were (still are) claiming that the unarmed child running away from them was a direct threat and that's why they needed to shoot them 14 times in the back, and that's how he chose to respond to people saying "maybe hold cops accountable?"
