Everyone please stop giving that woman news coverage. She is another neoliberal failure who should stay in the dustbin of history.

If I thought this were notable, I wouldโ€™ve been the one to make a post about it

there is time for primaries, no need for rushed appointments

[โ€“] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Primaries for dems have always been a vague formality. They've already decided who's going to take the next ones.

That's why Clinton won in 2008.

Oh wait...

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Exactly, that's why she "won" the Democratic primaries in 2016. Same reason she didn't win in 2008 - they already chose who was going to win, and she wasn't it.

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

Yeah but instead of pushing through a candidate who struggled to connect with voters, maybe we push for a candidate who has things going in the right direction between them and voters.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Even if they win the presidency (if there are even still free and fair elections by that point), a candidate like Harris will depress voter turnout and leave America with a lame duck or Republican Congress like in 2024. You want fascists for 2032? Because that's how you get fascists for 2032. And that's if the country doesn't get halfway there by 2032 entirely through Democratic inaction.

There's a chance he could lose, but before that, there are the primaries, and he must go through that process. But before that, there are the congressional midterm elections, and that's when we'll see the changes.

But there are cases where a Republican president wins the election, but Congress is Democratic. If JD Vance wins, I'd like Congress to be Democratic and have a supermajority; it would be a way to control the election.

Notably, her team knows how to use DNS, unlike Obamaโ€™s

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Perhaps because Team Obama isn't as active, as he's now a former president.

Harris is a candidate who could run for governor of California or for president again, so going to Bluesky is a way to stand out.

Also, Team Harris likely received training on how DNS works in Bluesky from the Democratic Party.

This is a step in the right direction. Now do mastodon.
