The US primaries and the general election are two different things. Voting uncommitted in the primary expresses support for the Palestinian plight and does not give Republicans any ground....
No one’s fucking voting for genocide; not even Biden (whose actions on Gaza are not acceptable) is voting for genocide; say what you want, but he’s not telling them to go into Gaza. And the 2024 election is about whether you want America to still be a democracy. A fascist USA helps no one.
he wasn’t trump. That’s his whole platform, that’s it.
Sorry, but this is one of those hyperbolic, uninformed, useless hot takes the Internet LOVES. You can literally look up his platform online, like so many places.
You know you can become a member of the DNC right? You know that you have representatives on the DNC you can contact, right? You know you have influence on the DNC if you actually choose to exercise it, right?
You don’t know I volunteered in all local and state level elections from 1991 to 2006?
Hmm, no mentions of the DNC here…
You don’t know that I manned the phones both times for Bernie a minimum of 15 hours a month?
Hmm, no DNC mentions here…
You SHOULD know that the only influence normal people have in the DNC directly relates to how much they can donate, and hours apparently don’t equate to voice.
Hmm, no mention of you actually interacting with the DNC here…
I’m fucking turning half a century this year, you do this shit I paid my time.
Several senior Republican officials are concerned that Donald Trump’s expected takeover of the RNC will ultimately pave the way for the committee to once again cover his legal bills....
Good to know you’re not one of the many women he’s sexually abused. Good to know you’re not a pregnant child being forced to give birth to her rapists baby after Roe was overturned. Good to know you’re not one of the million+ Americans who’ve died of the pandemic Trump bungled.
I’m glad you’re privileged enough for the Trump administration to not have devastated your well-being.
Do you think a Republican Congress would allow that?
Trick question! It’s not up to the legislative branch to decide the limits of Executive authority. That’s up to the supreme Court. Speaking of which, president Gore would have gotten TWO SEATS appointed.
That’s not what voters thought during the primaries. This Business Insider ranking has him middle of the pack. And this Pew poll shows him having more liberal support than Bloomberg.
If you can show me a ranking of the candidates ideologies that shows Biden as the most conservative (actual data that supports your opinion, not just feelz), go ahead. I’ll wait.
I don’t know why you were downvoted, it’s true. This isn’t like a bootstraps judgement thing, this is just good advice- high yield savings accounts now are like 4% interest, so that’s $200 / yr on that $5k.
You’re framing this like democrats want to rig the system against the GOP. The truth is that Dems want to institute democratic reforms that strengthen the voting power of average Americans.
Will that create a system where Republicans can’t win? Probably, and good riddance. If they want to win, they need to have actually popular policies. That’s how democracy works.
If they want to win, they need to have actually popular policies.
☝️ The GOP values & strategy have changed over time. They would probably still exist as a party, but they would need to change their approach. Today’s GOP is not the party of Lincoln.
Speaking of which, you know that the Republicans didn’t always exist, right? But before them, it wasn’t just One-party rule by Democrats, the Whig party existed. A first-past -the-post voting system structurally incentivises two-party rule.
