GraceRandolph Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 In her latest interview Marianne questions the Democratic party and donors "rubber stamping" Kamala without much debate, and questions what Kamala stands for, and whether she can win in November. She criticizes Kamala's record as attorney general as well as the Biden's administration overall. 10 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distantconstellation Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 Marianne is always effective and a great speaker and is able to communicate her ideas to where anyone can understand. Everything she said is correct. Kamala is gonna get dragged because she knew biden was a walking corpse and she did nothing. It was only until the rich donors said they weren't going to fund bidens campaign that he finally stepped aside. He didn't do it when most voters, democratic voters wanted him and Trump gone. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TedLasso Posted July 22 Popular Post Share Posted July 22 Why is she making it seem like Kamala is just some random person picked up from the streets? No one knows her political views? How do we know people will vote for her? This is the woman who ran in 2020 and then was elected VP. She's not Ford. 25 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Яeo. Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 the momentum is there for Kamala , it would be stupid to stop it party-wise, if she even cares 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Slayne Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 (edited) i think there is a strong argument to say that people who voted for Biden in primaries KNEW Kamala was going to be a VP and given Biden's age and health there was always a chance she'd be the president anyway if Biden won. so she has some democratic mandate. that said, people will try to shut Marianne up, but imo people like her are good for democracy. Kamala (and the DNC by extension) is not immune to criticism, not even now. we need more accountability and democracy from the party, and it's never a bad time to talk about that.

ATRL Administrator Ryan Posted July 22 ATRL Administrator Share Posted July 22 Marianne has a very good message and quite frankly gives better answers than many of the other candidates and has since 2020. I do think she could be an effective politician, but she’s not going to be president. She should run for state office and transition that to federal. I feel like with a proven platform she will be taken more seriously than as just a candidate with good ideas. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Mendes Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 Meanwhile one of her PACs just endorsed Kamala. Good luck collecting those required amount of delegates you speak of Marianne. 3 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She didn't do well in 2020, and Marianne is more or less saying Kamala needs to be tested at the convention and prove herself capable of putting forward a vision for the country if we want her to be able to beat Trump. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainMusic Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 I like her policies but she and you need to give it up, it's not happening. Btw I didn't realise she was 72, she looks good for her age. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel the same way about Marianne..she needs to run for local elections first and work her way up. I'm sure AIPAC is gonna dump millions to defeat Marianne though and prevent her from winning that election if it were to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think at this time she should know she has 0 chance to be the nominee and negative chances to win. Doing her best to make Kamala look bad for some ridiculous attempt to securing the nomination is kind of stupid. She is completely unknown to the overall GP and under these circumstances would have no chance of increasing her name likeness enough to win a presidential election in a few months Kamala does need some criticism to ensure she does not **** up her campaign in the next few months but this is not the way.

Sannie Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 A white woman fighting to help Trump win just like white women did in 2016. Shocking. Amazing. You'd think with everything at stake, white women would be able to put their egos aside for once in their lives... but damn, guess not. Biden was able to do it, so why can't Marriane? Because she doesn't care about anything but herself. 6 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point yall would accuse the teleprompter that Biden couldn't read or whatever Kamala stubbed her toe on of helping Trump win. Marianne is right that Kamala needs to establish a national identity and put forth a strong and inspiring message due to circumstances being less favorable to Democrats.

American politics are so ******, y'all live in constant fear of an absolute fascist taking over that the only other option (which is always a neoliberal war criminal too, just less fascist) needs to not ever be criticized or otherwise their chances diminish Y'all have no clue what a democracy looks like or is supposed to be. A politician is ALWAYS going to be criticized and they should be, as they are not perfect. The problem with a 2 party system is that the criticism is either gonna come from the opposite party which will get brushed away or it will come from the own party, and it will be called treason 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modeblock Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 (edited) Girl, I love Marianne, and in another time line she and Bernie saved America from fascism, but we don't have time for a primary this far in the game. Her challenging Kamala is not serving what she thinks it's serving because, while absolutely true and needs to happen, her proposals are simply not on the table at this time. She is basically too ahead of her time, and it's unfortunate, but we have Handmaid's Tale on our doorstep, so the focus is on that. EDIT: I do want to add that I hope she stays vocal about her positions and pushing the administration to the left because voices like hers are needed and extremely valuable.
