Fucking Harry S. Truman got why this shit was a problem.
I’ve seen it happen time after time. When the Democratic candidate allows himself to be put on the defensive and starts apologizing for the New Deal and the fair Deal, and says he really doesn’t believe in them, he is sure to lose. The people don’t want a phony Democrat. If it’s a choice between a genuine Republican, and a Republican in Democratic clothing, the people will choose the genuine article, every time; that is, they will take a Republican before they will a phony Democrat, and I don’t want any phony Democratic candidates in this campaign. (May 17, 1952)
Yeah, that’ll work and not make you look like a grifter to the fascist crowd. Fucking idiot, why would they vote for the Republican Lite Party when the Republican Party is right there???
paid to lose
Remember that if you are a real political party, your end goal is to enact policy. Winning election is just one mean (amongst many) to achieve that.
Abandoning policy to win election means that you are an unserious political party, some would say a lifestyle brand
The Uniparty have the same core policy as ever.
Endless war and regime changes, unconditional support for Pissrael genociders, banks, multinationals and oligarchs.
Every day I add more and more people to a completely innocuous list.
You should be strong and woke.
Kamala was talking about having the most lethal military in the world in response a question about Gaza. What the fuck were they doing that’s woke?
The republicans ran a “she’s for they/them and not you” ad which convinced Democratic strategists that they cared too much about the queers. Also you’re evil and hate queers if you don’t vote for them.
not killing you, personally
the democrats act like the only eligible voters for them to attract are the ones voting for the other fucking side
“but the people who don’t vote didn’t vote and so long as we keep fulfilling our own prophecy they never will”
Democrats are just Republicans on a five-year delay
Temporarily embarrassed Republicans
Tbh I’m not sure most of your typical Dem voters are gonna fall for this type of right wing framing from Dem politicians anymore. I’m not saying AOC has a clear shot at being nomination, but anecdotally when I engage with Dem voters in my personal life (of all ages), they honestly seem fed up with the Dems constantly trying to outflank Republicans from the right. I actually think a Dem that embraces the “maybe we should be democrats” idea (say like Pritzker) probably could win the nomination.
Maybe that’s why they simply didn’t hold a primary last time
The best way to beat the confederates is to embrace moderate slavery
acknowledging public perception of the party as “weak and woke” needs to change. She is urging Democrats to “fucking retake the flag” with appeals to voters’ sense of patriotism, to adopt “the goddamn Alpha energy” of Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell and to embrace an “airing out” of potential 2028 presidential candidates in a broadly contested primary.
Slotkin plans to deliver another speech — which is set to focus on “killing sacred cows” — sometime next month.
“I don’t think we need to hide the fact that Trump is flooding the zone and making us look 12 different ways at the same time,” Slotkin said. “But again, because I come from the national security background, there’s no end to fighting unless you’re dead.”
We’re trapped in the belly of this horrible machine
Lol libs and adding “fuck” to sound tough
Also the Lions lost to the racial stereotype team. Perfect analogy for 2028.
I open up my wallet and it’s full of woke
My wallet sure as shit isn’t filled with anything else
This reminded me of one of the most cursed articles I’ve ever read (from 2019)
the only democrat I ever voted for was bernie in the 2020 primary, and it will stay that way forever
At least this one pretends to be progressive
I have a feeling she might be the Dem nominee in 2028.
There are totally doing the jungle primary with CIAkin as the pick. There is a Berniecrat running. Dr. Abdul El-Sayed.
Even has a foreign policy tab. which proceeds to immediately fumble backing 
When we act alongside our allies–as in supporting Ukraine against Russian invasion–we find ourselves on the right side of justice. It’s when we break the rules we worked so hard to set up–as in Vietnam or Iraq–that we make critical, deadly mistakes. 
I have been predicting since ~2018 that the so-called “competent fascist” after Trump was going to come from the Democrat party. Elissa Slotkin may not be that person, but her rhetoric over the last couple months has kept me confident in that prediction.

Were you asleep for the entirety of the last 4 years?
America had its “competent fascist” and is now very clearly beyond the need to hide anything.
I mean he was literally not competent
but otherwise :yea:
Isn’t she a literal CIA type?
Literal CIA analyst. Bush-era psycho. Did three ‘active’ tours as CIA during that time & got shitcanned after the goldrush, ran a failed consultancy for less than two years & got picked up by the Dems as an asset.
Was she the one on charge of Gitmo or Abu Ghraib? I think one of these CIA ghouls became a senator or joined Obama’s cabinet, I don’t remember.
Gina Haspel?
