Telemundo was the most accurate poll for Hispanic voters this cycle and it was still off by 6/7 pts

 

All the undecideds broke for Trump

So I guess Brazil and South Africa shouldn't uphold the arrest warrant for Vladimir Putin either then

This man is not interested in legislation.

 

He's only interested in investigation. Ever.

 

 

And selling books based on his "investigations" 

[ClashAndBurn]

Idk, I'd even put Biden ahead of Bush at this point. Bush at least was committed to avoiding international accountability for his own country. Joe Biden put not the interests of not only one, but two countries ahead of his own nation's prosperity. All to bleed out the population of one to weaken an adversary, and the other to provide material and diplomatic cover for a genocide.

 

The whole ICC thing just puts the gross hypocrisy of it all on full display. The Putin warrant is valid because we hate Putin, but Netanyahu is our greatest ally and friend so that makes the entire institution a sham? Be for ******* real.  
 

Joe Biden is evil incarnate and if justice existed, he would rot in The Hague for their rest of his days.

Any thoughts on Jack Schlossberg 2028? He's young, he's "hot", he's straight, he's white, and he seems decently progressive. At this point I'm just throwing out whatever I think may stick ddddd.

[Vermillion]

This man has always been wildly unstable and vastly overrated by the punditry class.

 

This entire response makes me wish he could be primaried effectively.

He's very young, barely makes the cutoff. And he's a Kennedy, so cursed

I know you're kidding, but I'm going to requote my white guy/young guy of color post

Mark Cuban will depress base turn-out with wanting to get rid of Lina Kahn and will LOSE a general election. EDIT: Celeb benefits only applying to Trump, not transferring to Dem primary. Zero personality. Same goes for JB Pritzker

 

Josh Shapiro's PA popularity is non-transferable from independents and moderates nationally and the oppo against him (murder, harassment, IDF cheerleader) from the VP tryout will bury him with the base and he will LOSE a general election.

 

Pete has an abysmal track record with blacks and Latinos in South Bend, carpet bagged to Michigan, and will limp through the final stages of a primary with older black voters and a gay man will NOT win a general election in my lifetime.

 

Mark Kelly only signed onto the PRO Act when forced to and has zero personality to turn out the base or young people of color.

 

Andy Beshear faltered in the pseudo VP audition and the MSM freakout over not standing his branding or accent will color coverage against him unfairly, thus impacting base turnout.

 

Gavin Newsom, the French Laundry elitist, will be destroyed in a general election and his throwing trans kids under the bus to placate Fox News because some PR Hollywood consultants told him that's his only chance for national power has already wrecked him with the base nationally.

 

Jon Ossoff will lose his upcoming Senate race thanks to changes in GA voting laws and culture war appeals to Latino and Black Men from the right and he originally won that race entirely on Warnock's coattails anyways. Thanks to that upcoming loss a prez race is DOA (Biden's previous three tries are not comparable). He's pretty and speaks well but will be seen as too fey and cosmopolitan for white working class union halls, and if his ego gets in the way he'll wreck his campaign just like Beto did.

 

Latino men that have turned to Trump aren't voting for Klobuchar, Warren, or Booker, all of whom wrecked their chances as #SnowGlobe, #Pocahantas, and #Spartacus.

 

Ritchie Torres' Zionism flip as the #1 AIPAC target will wreck needed Blue Wall margins with Arab-Americans and reads as such parody he'll be slaughtered in a primary or if not with the base not turning out for him.

 

Fetterman needs to go to a wellness retreat in Jerusalem or a fracking farm in PA and leave us all the **** alone.

 

Forgot about Julian Castro: Wrecked his chances with white wine moms with the Biden dig, can't decide if he's progressive or centrist, flip-flops constantly.

 

Oprah and the Rock can go back to her billion dollar island surrounded by the Maui ash of those that lost everything, sell her holiday catalogs while he sells his latest BS and leave us all the **** alone.

 

Good luck finding someone because I'm at a loss. And yes, it has to be a straight white man. And no, Obama 2008 is not replicable anymore. And yes, you need to look up machismo culture for Latino men that associate it with assimilating to be white, their worship of white men, and how they'll never vote for a woman.

 

Talk of Dems not speaking on economic needs correctly is a ruse to cover the motivations of many of them wanting a dictator (though not all), especially as the literal Wharton experts Trump graduated from are saying he'll wreck the economy, thus wrecking any gains they perceive Trump will provide them.

 

People want easy answers to complex problems. Bernie's blind spot regarding Latino men continues to be that many of them know Trump isn't interested truly in helping them economically but in the cultural implications that come along with his showmanship of pretending he cares.

 

It's why, when Elon's tariffs begin as well as mass internment Trump's numbers with them will barely budge.

 

Trump isn't touching grocers or oil companies for price gouging and deep down Latino working class men know that. BERNIE would try but would be struck down by the courts. This is more of a cultural buy-in to Trump's machismo due to a perceived elitist vision of Dems not caring that in many ways is accurate. 

 

It's better to them to have Trump's lies with the cultural superiority buy-in than settle once again for the Dems lies with no cultural superiority buy-in.

Maybe it's unpopular but I agree with AOC's opinion that members of Congress should be paid more. Otherwise only already wealthy people will want to do the job. $175k is pocket change for rich people who go into politics; they're there to get power and court lobbyists. We should incentivize good, smart people to represent us and not whip them into indentured servitude.

I do too but if this was his attempt to approximate a similar response he failed miserably

No. Joe Biden did it by being a genocidal maniac. Kamala Harris did it by being complicit. 
 

We were trying to warn you, and you refused to listen.

Cuomo, Torres, AND Yang

Nah, personally I hope he makes liberals' lives a living hell. I hope he does as much damage as possible and wrecks this abominable country beyond repair. Americans deserve nothing but misery and suffering as this shithole falls apart

This is insane. Americans are comprised of poor and marginalized people. People far from the center of power. You're really saying the quiet part aloud. Like how can you have typed this? Imagine if someone said it about one of your chosen purity groups. This is 1.) disgusting 2.) so anti-left than I have no idea how you could possibly call yourself a leftist after writing something like it 3.) more proof that y'all are deeply unserious people and aren't actual interested in helping people in any meaningful way. 

[Vermillion]

I'm against accelerationism in all its forms, including for revenge on transphobic Latino men or MAGA or to spite out of touch neolibs. 

 

Just for the record.
