    Why are you whining about these shitlibs who won’t change their view? You won’t get centrist Democrats moving to you. You need to replace these people through primaries.

    Is that the excuse not to vote, if you’re in that country? So you got something to whine about?

    Aren’t there primaries going on now? If so and you haven’t, why aren’t you voting for or helping out your chosen candidate, one who isn’t a shitlib?

      You need to replace these people through primaries.

      The primaries where the party selectively protects centrist incumbents like Henry Cuellar, but not progressive incumbents like Cori Bush or Jamaal Bowman. The primaries we didn’t even get in the 2024 presidential election. The primaries that the party successfully argued in court that they don’t have to run honestly.

      Don’t treat primaries like a panacea to people who no longer trust the primary process.

        Don’t treat primaries…

        God you people are full of excuses. They’re right; this is American resistance.

        It works for the opposition well enough, and has for decades.

          God you people are full of excuses.

          Oh fuck off with this. Your wing of the party found endless excuses for not doing what they campaigned on. Your wing of the party found the votes to block everything. Until netanyahu wanted weapons, then all those excuses vanished instantly and the law was no impediment.

          Republicans fight for the reprehensible shit republican voters want. It’s too bad that’s also what you fight for while expecting lockstep fealty.

            Oh fuck off with this

            Nup, it’s the truth. Can’t vote because job. Candidate is not perfect and is responsible for some one else actions overseas. I didn’t vote for him. I can’t do anything. It was rigged. My vote doesn’t make a difference. Take a card ay. Every American has an excuse, they just build it around their situation.

            Your wing

            Not an American. Listen to Obama. Don’t whinge, vote. For the record, I agree, the centrist Democrats are very disappointing and quite beholden to bad actors.

            Your wing…found the votes to block everything

            Take that up with them, but having Harris as your president now would definitely be better for you and everyone.

            Netanyahu

            Set this up years ago with Epstein and got the ball rolling for this by instigating this with his Hamas mates. All done so Americans willing to hold Democrats responsible for that attack through emotional appeal via genocide, and they came in hook, line and sinker. Played. Disgracefully I might add.

            It’s not the first time, they tried similar shit on Clinton, remember? Another terrible candidate. We’d still be in a better place had she won though.

            Republicans fight for the reprehensible shit

            Yes. We have been saying this for years. Back then it was ‘I don’t gave to bite, it’s my right, mind your own business’. Without realising, as you see now, what weight that vote has. Another reason to respect it.

            what you fight for while expecting lockstep fealty

            I repeat, I am not one of these people you want to pigeonhole me as. I want you all to vote, participate and take politics seriously. Recognise your system, as it stands, offers only one way to fix it and that is to graft it out by voting for your people and backing them. That’s it. If I see Newsom as the runner I know you will have failed the primary and that will be on you. I don’t want Newsom, I want your progressive. Don’t let us down again.

      did i say anything about not voting in primaries ? harris didn’t even get 1000 votes in 2020 primaries and was made vp in place of warren who came third with 3 million votes. what primaries were there in 24 ? its interesting that close to midterms we are again seeing this “lesser evil” jargon to sell garbage candidates backed by aipac and dnc elites

      i am voting all the primaries, but i am not voting for some trash like newsom even if he wins in 28 primaries by 99%. instead of palantir and oracle like trump, he will be killing working class for all the ai parasites like openai and meta.

        did I say anything…

        You said sham, which indicates by proxy a lack of desire to participate.

        harris didn’t get…was made vp…

        Yes, I said shitlibs won’t change. Primaries have nothing to do with who gets picked as VP. They’re there for you to put who you want in as runner. Works well enough for the other team.

        What primaries…

        None, shitlibs.

        Its interesting…

        Really? Why are you surprised? Fun fact: this has been going on for a long, long time. Why? Because the people don’t vote in numbers, not do they understand their system well enough to get it to work for them.

        You know who does? Yep, Republicans. They do this time in time out and religiously. They don’t piss and moan about this candidate or that; they vote the nutbag in at primary time then follow up. They do, not whinge.

        I am voting all the primaries

        Good, if you and enough others do it, you should get your candidate.

        but I am not voting for some trash line Newsom

        Who is better than Trump, if he’s the candidate and you don’t nothing changes and your system allows no other approach. You will be letting your country down again.

        instead of palantir and trump

        If you think Newsom is as bad as Trump you’re outright stupid.

              More gloating from the genocide wing that rigs and prevents primaries in such a way that non-genocidal candidates are shut out of the process, not by the voters but by the party apparatus.

              But for fuck sake if that fails, don’t abstain.

              I fucking didn’t. But that will NEVER stop you genocide lovers from assuming that anyone who isn’t as delighted by genocide as you have always been and always will be doesn’t already vote for what you pretend is harm reduction. You would have voted for trump all three times if his opponent had breathed a word to indicate that they would actually follow the law regarding supplying weapons for genocide.

                This is a stupid fuckin statement and deserves little regard.

                As a foreigner, I’ve been opposing Trump openly since he ran the first time. I’ve called this shit since Gingrich and Ryan were obstructing Obama. Back then you were telling us it couldn’t happen, the Supreme Court would stop it, I knew you fools would let the country fall. I hoped you wouldn’t do it twice, but here we are.

          “this time sham” meant the 24 primaries where the democratic candidate was selected for us based on the most obedient pet for superpacs and israel.

          as for other points, i dont give a shit what republicans do. if a candidate doesn’t meet the minimum standards, no one should be voting for them. we will never get a candidate like obama or sanders ever again if we keep voting snakes painted in fake blue color. and sooner or later they will as bad as red snakes. or worse

            the 24 primaries

            Didn’t happen because the incumbent was originally running. That only changed because it became apparent he’d get flogged.

            The ones who did have primaries were Republicans, though they all pulled out when…it became apparent who they’d all vote for. Hmm.

            I don’t give a shit what Republicans do

            I would. They school you pretty much every election, both the centrists and the left.

            Sanders

            Was an independent and never getting their support.

            Obama

            Is a centrist and not that much better than Harris so I’m not sure where you’re headed with that. That said, Obama was a very good president. I have no doubt Harris would have at least been better than Trump and here’s the kicker…there’d certainly be no war and there’d be a peace process underway in Gaza.

            sooner or later they will be as bad as red snakes

            I hear this a lot but have yet to see it come to fruition, as tepid as they are

            DNC elites

            Never stopped whining about Mamdani until the last gasp, so much so, one ran against him. They don’t change and you will not drag them to it. You’ll kill your country trying though.

              And this is why I have zero interest in “lesser evil” arguments: because even the people makeing them aren’t willing to accept the evil they are actually advocating for, they have to make to less evil versions in their heads to pretend are real.

                they have to make

                That’s probably the worst part of this and one of the worst excuses you grubs give.

                You have no idea of that to begin because you installed Trump, not Harris. For installing trump, which is your responsibility as a collective, there truly has been a genocide, one of the worst we’ve seen. Harris said he’d do this and he has. You’re guessing she would, based on your twisted belief she’s as bad (or your knowledge that you’re horribly wrong and can’t bust your ego)

                Being a fart sniffer though, and the job of who you elected done for your excuses, you’re running the line that a government never elected would be worse.

                I’m telling you nothing could be worse than what we gave and it’s bearing out.

                Suck that fart in, people died for it. Beyond that I couldn’t care less what your view is, you’re American.

                  For installing trump, which is your responsibility as a collective, there truly has been a genocide

                  See? You’re a genocide denying fascist ghoul. Anyone who thinks that there was no Genocide in Gaza in 2023 deserves the same thing as their Nazi forefathers. To suffer and be destroyed.

                    I’m happy I had the power to make you suffer

                    What gave you done to make me suffer? I said I wasn’t suffering. I’m not in any of the areas America has bombed or shut out nor am I in the US. You have not made me suffer.

                    I will happily use that power

                    I know. Go ahead. You’re not hurting me.

                    you’re a genocide denying fool

                    How does America installing Trump as their president make me a genocide denying fool? I’m well aware Netanyahu is carrying out a genocide, he’s been doing that for a long time. That’s what he has you in place for.

                    I never said there was no genocide in Gaza at any time. I’m just not dumb enough to be fooled by the real bad actors. Doesn’t worry me though, not my vote, not blood on my hands either.

                    to suffer and be destroyed

                    Are you fattening out your chest again?

              I love how you call others shitlibs. Yikes, you’re like king of the liberals. Zero understanding of politics, just parroting terms you don’t understand.

                I love…

                Good for you

                king of the liberals

                Lmao I’m not even close.

                zero understanding of politics

                Yeah righto. Keep losing while they keep voting. Well it might be too late for that now.

                parroting terms you don’t understand

                I understand the US voters failed the world and its own people by failing to vote or keep out bad candidates. For the rest I couldn’t care less what Americans think of me given what they’ve been responsible for recently.

              there’d certainly be no war and there’d be a peace process underway in Gaza.

              good one, boy do i have bridges to sell you. and you were calling me stupid.

              go through this Kamala Harris says Iran is ‘greatest adversary’ of US Democratic presidential candidate says preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon is one of her top priorities.

              ofcourse there won’t be war. it will be a special military op with a much better propaganda and likely dragging other nato countries in it too.

              iran war was already decided by people who control both party leaders even before the election. only way it wouldn’t have happened was a 3rd party winning which can’t happen (or warren or bernie wining 2020)

              do you know both harris and pelosi worked hard to defund a california state initiative to help independent candidates get basic financial support on getting enough votes ?

              go through her political carrier, she had always been a out of touch hack who would have easily joined trump like tulsi if it meant better prospects. she had taken millions from aipac and married to a rich ultra zionist lawyer. i have no doubt she will be negotiating relelection campaign in return of turning tehran to gaza and murdering iranian kids by labelling them hamas

                boy do I have

                Well good for you champion and good for your link. Under Harris there’d have been a shitload more vetting for a start. There is no way she’d have carried out the strikes Trump has nor allowed the Israelis to do the same.

                Harris comments do not interpret into a full scale attack. In fact there’s nothing there that says her intention isn’t to use negotiation or soft power to achieve that. What actually was going on before…well, you non voting or Trump voting clowns I guess. The rest is history.

                I’m well aware she’s an out of touch hack as you put it, but this war was started because Netanyahu has full control over the fool Americans elected again. That was why Netanyahu conspired with Hamas to start that attack in the first place…to fool Americans into not voting for Biden and by extension Harris. To fool them into not voting, plus start the holy war he’s wanted to start for decades.

                You were all played, and easily too. All it took was some great espionage thanks to Epstein and knowledge that a massive portion of American voters are lazy, stupid, awful people and easily played. That you continue go in with your view that she would have been as bad is childish. Well it’s a fart sniffing exercise as we know, but anyway. Yeah, sure, she’ll support Israel but this wouldn’t have been happening and anyone rational knows that.

                You’ll be played again as well.

                  i don’t understand, almost all of the logic in your reply is our democracy is a farce in two party system and we need to wipe out both parties and israel to have a any hope of future. but your conclusion is no we should keep participating in it with no minimum standards else one will “lazy stupid and awful” ?

                  and yes the presidential candidate who said not a single negative thing about isreal during her entire campaign and or did anything as vp to stop israel from bombing hospital tents or kids just collecting water would have done nothing different with iran other than crocodile tears once on a while for “unavoidable tragedies of war”

                  fuck her and may she rot in the same hell beside biden, trump and rest of maga trash.

                    Nope, my position is their citizens keep voting in primaries for candidates who will effect change, then vote them in as reps.

                    My rationale for it is the Republicans have been doing exactly that for decades and succeeding. It will work for the other side too but it will take time and commitment.

                    Provided that now, because the Republicans have done this with the lunatics for so long and those lunatics know that voting is critical, they get a fair vote.

                    It doesn’t matter though, no matter what’s blitheringly obvious, you won’t listen and you’ll just keep on pushing ‘you’re naive; it’s all a conspiracy and Dems are as bad as the others because they won’t change for me’

                    Next, please. You’re like a conga line of piss and moan
