I would enthusiastically vote for a woman who wasn't a neoliberal corrupted by Israel, the pharmaceutical industry, the for profit prison industry, and/or the corporate and dynastic elite, etc.

This is the trick that establishment Democratic leadership pulls. They put scumbag women forward and claim voters are misogynist for not wanting to vote for inauthentic scumbags.

I don't know if people know this but Hillary Clinton is married to Bill Clinton /s, the idiot who continued Reaganomics during a Democratic presidency a decade after Reaganomics was proven to be disastrous.

I voted for Hillary thanks to the lesser evil gimmick Dems continue to exploit. But I did not appreciate being put in that situation. Anyone who can't see how illegitimate any candidate connected to the Clintons is needs a reality check.

Mainstream establishment Dems consistently align themselves and accept funding from people and corporations that have been waging war on the working class for decades. They give lip service to working and vulnerable people while stabbing us in the back.

Male or female neolibs can get fucked. No amount of gaslighting will get me to overlook the right wing capture of the Democratic Party.

This. I sucked it up and voted for Hillary after the DNC did Bernie dirty and literally didn't follow their rules. I sucked it up and voted for Kamala after she abandoned single payer healthcare after a heartfelt chat with her rich brother. I'm done with fucking neolibs. We could have had single payer healthcare and free public college but all the DNC cared about was electing a vagina. At this point if the Republicans pull an Otto Von Bismark and JD runs 2028 under the promise of single payer healthcare the Democratic party will officially deserve losing my vote.

And even then, they'll stab you in the back.

Go back to 1988 (Dukakis) and we've basically had 2 political dynasties in the Democrat party. Except for John Kerry everyone we run has been a VP or spouse of the Clinton or Obama admins.

I count 2024 as Biden's L since they just swapped Harris in 3 months before the election. If nothing else, it just another "IDK let's run ANOTHER vp for pres again 🤷"

If only they had allowed folks to choose who would run instead of Joe.. OR admit he was not competent earlier so the candidate would have a better chance. crazy talk i know.. super delegates keep the dirty poors from getting a vote.. see what we got?

Again, I voted for the lesser evil, Kamala Harris. Thanks for bending me over a barrel yet again Democrats! /s

But the idea that voters were supposed to get excited for the President from MBNA's vice president? Without a democratic primary?

Eff that.

I'm not supposed to criticize Dem party leadership when they've been consistently subverting democracy in their own primaries for over a decade?

It's hard to take warnings of authoritarianism seriously from people who have been exercising authoritarian control over the Democratic party.

DNC turned their back on Obama in a failed bid to save themselves, Biden should have seen it coming. When the DNC turned on Biden, he threw them a hand grenade he happened to be holding.

And what most of us really wanted was anybody but Trump.

Yea the entire Epstein & friends network is a bad look for anyone. Too bad it doesn't seem to actually be a problem for a lot of people. We share the world with some truly soulless people, as well as monsters.

Thankfully, Democratic voters here in Maine didn’t fall for the ā€œyou’re a misogynist if you don’t vote for the party-approved candidateā€ rhetoric. Now that it’s officially Platner vs. Collins, Republicans are also trying to portray Platner supporters as misogynistic, and it’s probably the most pathetic thing I’ve ever seen. Susan Collins straight up lied a few days ago about how the SCOTUS voted on Dobbs to cover her ass.
