    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.

            Provided we always vote for genocide and nothing else.

            I don’t want Newsom, I want your progressive.

            Party leadership successfully argued in court that they have the right to rig the primaries so we only get whatever genocidal shit they and you want.,

              No I want you to vote. If you do it the way you shoukd that shouldn’t happen, provided enough of you do.

              I’m sorry. I’m not your Zionist.

              Party leadership successfully argued in court

              And if AOC runs in the primary, I want you and others voting for her

              You want

              A progressive, young candidate. I have for years. I would have been happy with Sanders. I know, it hurts, but fight it…I’m not who you want me to be

                Bullshit. You are only happy when people vote for genocidal shit with a fake smile on their faces.
