      Purity Tests are cringe af

      Let her organize grassroots so you can complain about whatever the lawn produces because the alternative is an oil spill.

        No.

        She was one of the central players that lost the Republic. I don’t ever want to see her fucking face again in politics.

        She was a bad candidate in 2016 and 2020, and she was demonstrably a catastrophic choice in 2024. And by that I mean her lack of backbone in standing up to monied interests shows that she entirely lacks the grit and will that our current era demands. Too much compromise with the neoliberals and hypercapitalists, not enough listening to actually fucking citizens and lived experience. Walz was the brightest spot in her campaign. And then she and the DNC muzzled him, with predictable results.

          There are no “good candidates”, the central players that defeated the Republic are the collaborative efforts of a group of billionaires and foreign dictatorships turning social media against democracy. Any progressive candidate will face the same uphill battle and the nation will slide further into conservative autocracy unless we do something to stop it.

            I don’t need perfect, but I want a candidate that’s pretty solidly against genocide.

            But too tough for her though.

              Biden tried to broker peace, withheld large bombs that Israel had already paid for. Trump and other GOP candidates are favored by Israel, explicitly endorsed by Netanyahu.

              If you care about Palestinians then you should endorse Kamala and whoever else the DNC candidates are, because the alternative is worse.

                I’d rather the democratic party decide genocide is bad actually than blame the people who chose not to vote for people who aren’t against genocide.

                  The DNC have never supported Genocide. Biden tried to broker peace, withheld ordinance. He did not do enough, that is true, but the GOP explicitly do support actual genocide and by not supporting the DNC you’ve enabled the genocide.

                    He didn’t actually try though, is the thing. If he was trying, he would’ve actually withheld all of the war supplies the US is providing to Israel. He didn’t.

                    The DNC actively supports genocide and attacked the people who didn’t. They are a party of genocide. Simple as.
