DNCs are most certainly not on the left, they never were, i dare say it they are REPUBLICAN rejects. aside from a few of them. center right is the parties main stance on most things. They are the defense while the gop is the spear. its too keep minority groups(women, pocs, lgbtq) from gaining significant support and power and overtaking the party from the status quo.
Former liberal here. I always felt I had a more wonkish bent, that pragmatism needs to be more front and center in politics.
But if I’m now in the leftist camp, it’s not like Dems are going to go anywhere but the way of the whigs if they don’t take some actual stances. They’ve lost all imagination. You can’t win on damage control.
At this point the wonkish pragmatism is that they need to be more progressive and actually take stances on shit. It’s clearly what works.
It’s just that at this point the DNC doesn’t care about winning anymore
And the dnc trash is also pushing moderates.
We don’t want fucking moderates! We don’t want more status quo losers afraid to rock the boat and gasp actually improve the citizens’ lives.
Of course being pro genocide lost Harris votes. The DNC is fine with Republicans (including Trump) winning so long as they can preclude the left, which is the actual purpose of the Democratic party. Most of the base will happily be useful idiots and spend their energy punching left rather than allow any criticism of the party, all the while calling the left naive and blaming them for losing elections.
In a FPTP system it’s wild to me that Harris wasn’t chosen as the least of two evils for these people. Look at what Trump is going. Is that actually preferred?
Because it’s a FPTP system, having Harris as their candidate made many people just not vote. They were wrong in thinking that not voting would have been a good decision.
If it wasn’t genocide it would be any other single issue, this was always a right wing push to dissuade democrat voters from voting so they could take power.
This meme is too.
Oh my friend, you read like an undercover right-wing plant. It’s fairly obvious to anyone with a conscience that genocide is the simplest and most important issue that a candidate could fuck up. And Harris did that.
Let’s compare issues. I would say that on various issues (immigration, defense spending, health care) her stances were certainly not left-wing. Center, center-right, pro-corporate, that’s what I would say. And these are important issues. But I think it’s also true that she could have maintained many of those stances and still win. After all, previous Democrat presidents did.
If you’re afraid to say that genocide is wrong, and actively work to stop it, you deserve to lose.
I can get disgusted by genocide all by myself.

Fun fact: everyone who doesn’t support the exact amount of genocide Harris did is actually a Russian. Especially if they’re spewing bullshit like “that crosses a line” or “Jesus Christ it’s literally genocide”.
the brave pro genocide democrat lol, you people deserve a century of humiliation
Yeah I’m for pedophilia and rape too. Nice talking to you, Soviet Robot.
What is that even supposed to mean? You people are so fucking random. Why don’t you get a hobby or something, you have too much of your personality vested in being straight up obnoxious and hating others. I know- go join MAGA, they love people like you.
Calls others bots, cant imagine people being able to do more than 2 things at the same time.
Blue MAGA proving they arent too different from their brothers in red
BLUE MAGA!! Hahahahaha! You are seriously spreading right wing talking points, aren’t ya! Jesus christ
Is the right wing push in the room with us now?
Yes it literally is.
🪞
How dare you spread that pedophile propaganda in here! I never…
Amazing.
Are you seriously just repeating yourself like a child?
DNC: Um, aktuly, the Dems are running a candidate who has repeatedly endorsed a 10-12% reduction in genocide over 30 years. What have you lefty shits ever done?
DNC: OH SO YOU HATE JEWS, DO YOU?! WELL I’M GOING TO VOTE FOR DONALD TRUMP!
Stop lying that Mamdani is anywhere remotely leftist:
- ICE still has deathcamps in NY
- Landlords exist
- Taxes
- Food & Housing isn’t free
- Pedophiles haven’t been guillotined
- Freed prisons
- Eliminated PDs.
- Apartheid Religions remain
- etc. etc…
who the fuck are you fascist creeps? @Postimo@lemmy.zip @Blan@sh.itjust.works
Since Mamdani got elected THREE NEW DEATHCAMPS GOT MADE. Miss me with your “not worth reading” bs.
Dems are running a candidate who has repeatedly endorsed a 10-12% reduction in genocide over 30 years.
With absolutely no enforcement mechanism and no penalty for failing to meet that goal, naturally.
This response keeps killing me inside. I’m about to commit Aaron Bushnell.
Or instead of shit posting rage bait on the fucking internet you could be out there boosting a candidate you like right now before the primaries even start. You want someone to just HAND you the ideal fucking candidate?
No, you’d rather pre-complain about a choice that you can actively influence and hasn’t happened yet.
I haven’t seen one yet that I really like, but it’s still 3 years out. This is the best time to talk about what you do or don’t like about a candidate or policy, and the worst time to settle.
Not “someone”. It has to be the DNC. And it need to show me the text where it broke up with Israel. And it needs to apologize to Bernie. Also I will still not like its candidate.
If I tried to promote a candidate on my own or talked to any other org, than DNC would think I wasn’t serious about how much I’m not going to vote for its candidate.
I have enough time to do both, thanks. I am not content to just sit around and do nothing but punch down until election day and happily vote for GOP-lite every fucking time.
The candidates acceptable to leftists are unacceptable to the DNC.
No, you’d rather pre-complain about a choice that you can actively influence and hasn’t happened yet.
Literally complaining about actively influencing said choice using memery
Remembers bernie sanders. Yeah I don’t believe you. Different wings of the same bird.
It’s straight up MAGA propaganda and dumbfucks are eating it up.
Source?
I think they’d get banned if they posted a picture of their ass.
Fair, lol
HAH! Hoo wee got me, I can’t wait until I’m five years old to retort!
You’ll get there someday, so long as no one takes the child locks off the sink cabinets.

Incredible, pivoting from me asking for a source that leftists are a right-wing conspiracy theory to transphobia. Fuck off.
Removed by mod
No you
If this is the level of discourse we’re operating at, then yeah, you are literally MAGA equivalent.
Eh, the DNC is probably right anyway.
