Mark my words: they will put Kamala 2.0. or Gavin in the race for president instead of AOC or any other progressive. (feddit.org)

AOC is a clear choice, I'd say Bernie but I'm already tired of old people in power.

AOC is young, in touch with actual issues, in touch with the generations that are moving the economy, knows the struggle since she used to be a waitress and so far I haven't seen her go crazy on anyone else's agenda or buying stocks and enriching herself beyond measure like damn old hag Pelosi.

Which is exactly why she wont be a presidential candidate ever.

Don't say ever, the democrats still need to win elections... (that is that there are still elections that mean anything...)

Can we do ranked choice primaries?

[–] Crikeste@lemm.ee 1 points 34 minutes ago

No.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 hour ago

That would solve a lot of problems, so ... no.

The DNC would rather acquiesce power to Republicans than risk handing it to an anti-corporate candidate so... No.

I haven't heard bad stuff about Gavin Newsom. Did he turn corporate when I wasn't paying attention?

  • has a podcast where he fawns over conservative guests like Steve Bannon and Charlie Kirk
  • borrowing talking points from Jordan Peterson about "bro culture" and a "crisis of masculinity"
  • wants to "solve" California's housing crisis by jailing unhoused people
  • thinks "social issues" like transgender rights and due process for immigrants are distractions from the real issues (like tariffs)

Newsom has generally been pivoting conservative over the last few years, most commenters think in preparation for a 2028 presidential run, and has turned it up since Trump was elected.

Wow. Last time I paid attention to him he was leading the push for gay marriage in California before SCOTUS legalized it. Then I remember him running for governor and I stopped hearing about him since I didn't live in Cali

For reference, he's getting chumy with Tuker Carlson of all people. Neo-libs gonna neo-lib.

[–] jsomae@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 hours ago

He is anti-trans for one.

[–] whoisearth@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 hours ago

He's been tilting rightward to accomodate the shift in the American public ya.

I'm a progressive, but also a pragmatist and a realist, and I find these kind of complaints unhelpful and naive. Politics is a blood sport and it always has been. No one is going to hand AOC the reins of power. She has to win them, and her opponents aren't going to play fair. This is, sadly, how the game is played. Don't mourn. Organize!

"No! It's her turn!"

-people who complain about DNC insiders.

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Funny meme though

The supervillains are still in charge thinking up ways to destroy anyone and anything opposing them to ensure the superiority of their greedoid ultraconservatism, while the supposedly "enlightened" people who are supposed to fight those bastards as a united front are instead fighting over recriminations, ideological rivalries, and supposed levels of moral purity.

[–] FreakinSteve@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Enlightened people should be enlightened enough to grasp the power of violence

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

It isn't about change.
