Once again, we are allowed to hate the corporate fellating shit heels BEFORE the primary. In two years. We can point out the obvious shortcomings and demand an actual progressive. Right up until the DNC chooses Gavin, despite what their voters want. Then we have to hold our nose and vote for the asshole that platforms Nazis while doing his best Blue Steel in his Gucci suit.
The primaries are a good point to bring up. Americans on the left bitch about who gets picked to run for president, but are you guys joining the Democratic Party? Are you voting on the primaries? Are you helping, donating and volunteering for the candidates you prefer? Just waiting for the party to pick a candidate and then complaining is useless. That’s how you get what happened last time, you guys demanded Biden step down at the 11th hour and he does and you guys saw the educated black lady alternative and went “eeew no, not that”
It’s why the rest of us think your entire country is nuts
Bernie is another one, how do you demand that we remove all the old white men from power while demanding sanders? I want all of them out, on the right and left. Bernie has great ideas but he can’t even win the support of one party, how is he gonna win the whole country? Pick a younger candidate
The problem is not that they are old and white, it’s that they are taking corporate bribes and don’t give a shit about the next generation.
That’s not the case with Bernie. He’s too old now, but ten years ago he was more than good enough to make up for his oldness and his whiteness. Making himself a platform for AOC to stand on was a good thing as well.
I’ll take AOC for sure but I won’t make exceptions for Bernie. There’s no point to a rule or belief if you make exceptions
“Killing is bad”
(Crazed shooter begins murdering people in a crowd, policeman aims a gun at him)
“No! Don’t shoot! We can’t make exceptions to our rule, it would only make us as bad as him.”
I wouldn't say a "policeman" would do that (see uvalde lol). Nowadays I trust a regular ass dude (who isn't a conservative nutjob) with a gun way more than any pig.
Again, the problem its not “ old and white” that would be stupid. It’s that a majority of the old white people take corporate bribes and care more about power than anything else. This applies to young non white folks as well. They also need to go if they take bribes and care about staying in power more than helping the people.
Not sure why this is confusing..
