Doesn't this just prove that they are in cahoots with the fascists? Nobody wants her, yet they're gonna try to shove her down our throats again when we need a real candidate who actually has a chance of winning.

[–] mattyroses@lemmy.today 16 points 1 week ago

no, obviously it's the fault of the left for not supporting her. The Party cannot fail, it can only be failed.

[–] Soulg@ani.social 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I mean, not yet, she can run in the primary

Yeah, but why?

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago (3 children)

She'll never survive a primary.

Acting like the DNC will have a fair primary. They’re going to shove Harris, Newsome, or some other center-right Dem down our throat.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 9 points 1 week ago

They're not center right anymore. We have far right and farther right.

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (2 children)

theyll lose the election if so

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 13 points 1 week ago

Since when has that been a concern for them???

[–] jontree255@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Yeah most likely. They can’t just be “not Trump” because he’s hopefully going to be dead. Also, that hasn’t really translated to success. Trump only lost 2020 because of COVID.

I don't know if they "Bernie" her opponent then she might.

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I mean they can try. They pulled out every stop in NYC and couldn't stop a people powered campaign.

Whoever the progressive is going to be needs to announce, and soon. Mamdani started the day after the 24 election. I truly believe that if the DnC primary in 2016 had been a month longer, wes have had Bernie. Grass roots campaigns take longer.

I dunno. They're pretty disorganized but their donors are less so. I think they're going to lose it for us again, or if they win, will prevent any leftwards movement.

I wonder how bad this has to get before real change happens.

There won’t be a primary

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 19 points 1 week ago (3 children)

This is just proof there is one party centered on corruption. I'm amazed they didn't try Hilary Clinton again.

[–] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

It's her turn!!!!!!!

[–] IronBird@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

they will, Hillary vs. Alex Jones jones wins

[–] FreddiesLantern@leminal.space 2 points 1 week ago
