      No no! Let’s shove a preselected candidate down everyone’s throat and hope they hold their noses. That’ll be good enough! Best out of 3!

      Hey, how many other presidential candidates have made it to a general election while never earning a single primary delegate in their entire career?!

      She’s a once in a generation candidate!

      Wouldn’t that increase the chances of a non-Zionist Jewish candidate to win? That’s is by far a much worse scenario to the DNC than losing the election.

        I thought her family is Zionist. She spent her whole term as VP providing diplomatic protection for Israel, and in part served a meaningful role in one of the worst man made famines in human history and the destruction of Gaza. Maybe she’s not explicitly genocidal, but her actions are what brought the world to this exact global mess. Whether one blames Trump or not, there’s a sequence of actions taken to get here - I’m just saying Harris and the surrounding network is a part of that.

        I suppose the world may be in the process of coming to terms that the Americans can no longer solve the issue internally. At some point, I wouldn’t be surprised as more countries just negotiate directly with Iran, and without the US.

          yes, her husband is an uber zionist. He said he would devote his term as first gentleman “fighting antisemitism” in the US.

      The primary system in the USA is biased to who the first few states prefer. But if the Dems had had an actual primary last time maybe they would have found a different replacement for Biden.

        Yep by the time my state gets to vote in the primary, over half of the candidates have dropped out and the obvious winner is preparing for their full campaign. Makes it obvious why so few vote in the primaries here

    You lost and you can never be what this world and country needs right now.

      They don’t. Or they’d start reading the room and actually start pushing an actual “change agent”. They’re too stuck on running people whose whole ethos is “if only things were how they had been back in the 90s” (when DNC had power). Was a great time for them, but since Regan, everything’s been getting shittier for everyone not in the political or donor class. They need to run a FDR not a Biden.

      I’d say Democrats never learn from their mistakes

      I mean, if you did say that…

      Someone would just point out it only means you’re 15 months late to the party and still only getting your news from billionaires.

      And man, that would be embarrassing

    I know what it requires

    Do you? You were happy to fund Bibi’s genocide in Gaza, and it lost you the election. You moved to the right, and it lost you the election. You wouldn’t distance yourself from Biden, and it lost you the election.

    Take the hint.

      Frankly, the American voting public cares less about the unjust deaths of untold many foreign folks than the price of eggs 8 months before the vote.

        Sentiment is changing fast. People are fed up with pissrael. I don’t know why happened but a massive ideological shift is occuring in the US on the left/center and weirdly a large portion of the right-tards. Pissrael, aipac, anything with zionist roots is toxic as shit right now. Thank fuck, it’s about time we stop funding that genocidal regressive welfare state. Bizarre settlers and the fucking religious zealots running around with free healthcare while US citizens suffer a homelessness epidemic. It’s a fucking embarrassment.

        Kamala Harris did not lose because of those qualities. She lost because she ran as a diet Republican, going for a marginal victory.

            However, a majority signed on to most of all that with Trump (genocide, removing Khan, embracing MAGA which is somehow even worse than Reagan Republican, and he didn’t carry his state of origin- NY, but did carry FL which became even more stupid after COVID).

    “I know what it requires”.

    I refer you to Sun Tzu: One may know how to conquer but not be able to do so.
