      Is there a Genocide going on which real people care about? No everything is a psyop and Democrats have never done anything wrong.

        Has an hour gone by that you haven’t posted with the specific intention of hurting Democrats?

    A right winger whose party is falling apart is blaming the Dems for it like she’s Eric Andre.

    The way to save democracy is getting shady money out of the Dem primary so that the people who make it to the general actually want to fix it.

    If we don’t, then the people with a financial reason not to fix it, will never fix it.

    We can’t change it for the general without having the numbers to pass laws, so it’s pointless to even discuss fixing the general till we fix the Dem primary.

    All the “moderates” that take that shady money in primaries tho are going to bitch and.moan that we have to do it backwards, because they don’t want it to happen

    Just because someone has a D by their name, doesn’t mean they want democracy

      Sadly the people at the top of the party are those receiving the shady money. I don’t see a path to fix corruption by voting for the people most benefiting from corruption. It is a catch22.

      There wasn’t even a real Democratic primary this time around. Just the establishment appointing Harris and telling everyone to get aboard.

        I think you’re even being too short-sighted on that because that’s what they did with Biden.

        Harris was a succession problem that they created by not giving Biden a proper primary to begin with.

          Not at all. Harris is as much of a corporate ghoul as Biden.

          2019 - ‘More AIPAC Than J Street’: Kamala Harris Runs to the Right on Foreign Policy

          In her very first foreign policy vote in January 2017, for instance, Harris sided with President Trump in criticizing the outgoing President Obama’s refusal to veto an otherwise-unanimous, very modest, and largely symbolic UN Security Council resolution on Israeli settlements. Among other things, that resolution reiterated previous Security Council calls for Israel to stop expanding its illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank, which violate the Fourth Geneva Convention and a landmark ruling by the International Court of Justice.
