Both Democrats and Republicans are working toward the same goals and for the same lobbyists/corporations, they’re controlled opposition to each other existing purely to continue the two party system that the country is stuck in. The show they put on for the public is quite literally political theatre.

Im not saying he can’t win (he can), but you’re underestimating how disliked Trump is in swing states, especially when we already have polls that prove it: Its useless to talk about polling this far out, but trump winning these states isn’t the slam dunk you think it is Desantis winning or tying these key states… Jesus Christ we’re over

If you're a reliable voter, the Democrats will take you for granted. Which is why the only consolations black women have ever gotten from the Democratic Party have been identity-based selections for Kamala Harris and Ketanji Brown Jackson. If you withhold your vote, you're unreliable and can safely be ignored. They only care if you're a centrist who would otherwise vote Republican. and yet black women still vote consistently and decide who the democratic nominee will be. they are the most powerful demographic in he democratic party. why is that? do you think you know something they don’t? do you think the democrats are tricking them somehow? (dismissing a supreme court seat and the vice presidency as “identity-based selections” is exactly why leftists lose black women every primary)

Anyway, yes, Kamala gets the distinction of being the most unpopular VP in recorded history all thanks to being an identity-based hire, and KBJ's nomination was bogged down with unnecessary mudslinging because Biden tainted the process by publicly stating that race was going to be the deciding factor ahead of the selection. Biden committing to hollow diversity hires based on identity instead of merely judging candidates by their qualifications and privately selecting the most qualified woman who just so happens to be black is reflective of why Affirmative Action is about to be struck down by SCOTUS. Yes, it's fairly obvious that black women have been tricked into unflinchingly supporting a Democratic Party that consistently takes them for granted. And no, they're not "the most powerful demographic" by any means. As a whole, they make up less than 15% of America's population. There are more white women who vote Democrat than there are black women in total

Sorry if that hurts your feelings. And really, I don't care. Democrats are just going to keep nominating Republican-Lites like Biden like the trash party they are. Kamala is still deeply unpopular and nobody who's not a part of her online troll bot farm actually likes her. She's a liability to Biden's re-election bid, if anything. KBJ on the other hand is perfectly qualified for her position, as much as anyone else would have been. The only reason anyone would demean her nomination is because of Biden's own unforced error belittling her achievements and reducing her to her skin color as her most important asset above all else.

Basing the primary solely around establishment-friendly conservatives in a Red State is a disastrously bad decision. But that's exactly why so much undeserved importance is placed on that state even though it will never vote for Democrats in a general election.
Vermillion Posted April 25, 2023 Posted April 25, 2023 @Hannah Hunt The majority of the reason Kamala's so despised by not only leftists but many neolibs is not because of any affirmative-action motivation in picking her in the first place despite a solid resume (policy preferences aside) but her abysmal performance as Vice President. Her own colleagues trashed her to several outlets include Politico as having no idea what she's talking about, not reading security briefs, and giving little to no input into her speeches, and that's just for starters. Even if she is being shafted into an impossibly gargantuan policy platform by Biden as her team claims literally the basic ask is to have a remotely coherent answer to softball interview questions. One portion of a speech on the Tennessee Three barely makes up for the dozens if not hundreds of word salads she's presented otherwise, starting with a "defense" of The Willow Project decisions on Colbert

Addressing the earlier points, Kamala and KBJ were both qualified for their positions and I'm not claiming otherwise. But KBJ was reduced to her race in the nominating contest instead of more delicate framing and whether Kamala was more qualified than other candidates or even satisfied the hopes of increasing black turn-out when they were going to turn out for Obama's VP regardless were highly questionable. If anything, Kamala's numbers with young black voters has been consistently poor given her policing record. Not all progressives are Bernie die-hards, far from it. I've got a laundry list of problems with Bernie, starting with the Brady Bill, and kowtowing to some white nationalist talking points on some immigration reforms in a convoluted effort to appease some blue-collar workers seeking higher wages. Reducing Bernie supporters to Bernie bros and then subsequently reducing them to Chapo Trap House racists is lazy argumentation, factually inaccurate and a dead horse at this point. Reducing the Democratic party to older black voters in a Red State like South Carolina that like Biden while completely ignoring Latino-majority Culinary Unions in Las Vegas that happen to have liked Bernie is exactly the problem. You don't get to throw around the "RACIST" talking point when Biden is selectively exhibiting EXACTLY that problem.

You constantly deflecting to the man who is never running for president ever again while discussing the current disaster of an incumbent goes to show how little there is to actually defend Biden. I don't even care about Bernie anymore either. Most of his supporters have moved on from him, especially after he became Joe Biden's biggest simp in the entire legislature. Everyone still involved with the Democratic Party in any form is a joke and unworthy of my vote. Especially Rachel Dolez- I mean, Elizabeth Warren.

AvadaKedavra Posted April 25, 2023 Posted April 25, 2023 (edited) Im very scared about my Country. The president of my country is a disaster and Donald Trump-DeSantis are enemies of him. Wish democrats had someone better but all the candidates look messy. Like not popular enough I fear for the future of yll my american sisters too. If someone like Trump-DeSantis win i can see The States turning into something horrible. Civil wars once they start attackin the LGBTI-Black-Latinos-East Asians...... Praying there's a miracle and and youre all saved by biden or someone else. Edited April 25, 2023 by AvadaKedavra
