If they do so, they’ll cut off an entire generation from ever voting Democratic again

I mean duh. Everyone here, with a core set of exceptions, was making the same points about Biden’s approach to the border while it was happening. At least Flores had the candor to leave the administration.

The summary of the entire Biden approach to the border was to undermine the previous 16 years of work and progress that Democrats had been making on the border and then allow Trump to entirely frame and own the narrative on the matter. This left Biden to double down with that bullshit they pulled in the senate the summer before: a border bill more draconian than anything Republicans had been able to come up with.

And the Democrats expected their voters to show up and support that?

Like. Stop fucking taking your notes on how to get Democratic voters to show up to the polls from fox fucking news, DNC leadership.

Its like season 5 of Dexter when they start just re-spinning the same more and more absurd plot lines.

I mean, this would solve many issues.

Alex Jones but I want 10:1

you’re gonna be the one that saves me

I mean duh. But so is Harris.

But far, far more importantly than either of them were their defenders/ apologists in media, both social and traditional, who were the real barrier to moving these candidates to better more popular positions that could have gotten them elected.

Wait. Wait another? Like another another?

Um.

2x4’s

Wait, I know that voice. Oh, God. The image of Dave Coulier’s face twisted in ecstasy as he moaned like Popeye flashed through my head, and I nearly crashed my car. I flipped a U-turn and headed back to return the movie.

Thanks. I didn’t know that I didn’t need to have that image in my mind. Now I do.

Thanks Pelosi

be the change you wish to see in the world.

He needs a W and has pissed off anyone capable of giving him one.

Any kind of on the ground movement or mobilization needs political support in the halls of power. It’s what made the resistance demonstrated against Trump the first term possible, and the dynamic goes both ways. On the ground resistance gives political actors the space to be resilient. Resilient politicians give in the ground movement space to work.

Basically all other Democrats other than Bernie and AOC shrivelling up and hiding in their shells will have a chilling effect on our ability to organize on the ground.

I’m not going to do the work to get around that paywall and I need more of a TL;DR than the bot gives cuz I can’t figure out who they are talking about beyond Whitmer in the summary.

Any kind soul want to copy pasta some key quotes?

But on Whitmer…

Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, who supported a successful ballot initiative to enact abortion protections and who enjoys a roughly 61 percent approval rating in a politically fractious swing state, where a local militia plotted to kidnap her.

I mean thats kind-of a big fucking deal. She’s pretty progressive. But not DSA progressive. Winning Michigan. That’s a big state.

Realistically however, there is the elephant in the room which is a question lingering in African American voters minds (links if needed) which is, OK not Biden, but isn’t that why we have Harris? And if you side step Harris, like… good fucking luck getting African American women to vote for you.

And honestly, I’m so broken by the modern DNC, I don’t give a shit. I’ll take the shitty mom-joke DARE cop. I’ll drop my ass out of a coconut tree. Just give me someone who is at least competitive. Maybe that means Harris gets sidestepped, but damn that sure looks fucking bad if you do. Unless its for Michelle Obama. Then we can just cruise to victory.
