One of the problems I've always had with the left (I'm a queer-ass lefty) is they talk like a cover letter written by AI. They're treading carefully, trying to appeal to everyone, and sound like the soulless middle managers they are. The most iconic thing Kamela said, to me, is when she called the republicans weird.
I hope things like this become more common. I want to hear what people really think so I don't feel like I'm going crazy alone. Be more like Bernie. Hell. I would love it if Bernie dropped some fuck yous and bitch asses.
And that wasn't Kamala. That was Tim Walz. I mean, yes, she said it, but she got that messaging from Walz.
...and then Kamala got advice from Nancy Pelosi and centrists to "tone down the 'weird' rhetoric" and focus on courting moderate Republicans, and her campaign fucking tanked. Couple that with the DNC not allowing a single Palestinian supporter to speak during the convention, and it was ruined for all of us. She had all the momentum of a bulldozer, initially, and swindled it by putting faith in crotchety, old, dinosaurs who refuse to entertain progressive ideas as they usher in a new tRump era of misery that may never end.
This is also how you get Gerry Connolly elected over AOC for leadership of the House Oversight Committee. Nancy Mace uses an anti-trans slur several times in a committee meeting, and Connolly whines "Here on the committee, a level of decorum requires us to try to avoid slurs" while his Republican colleague smirks at him. Fucking embarrassing.
But, hey, at least you didn't have somebody "young" and "inexperienced" like AOC in there. Who knows? She might've said something rude to Ms. Mace, and we couldn't have that! Think of the decorum!
I just wouldnt call those ghouls "left". They are center right as far as the rest of the world is concerned. Their job is to maintain the status quo and make sure rich people stay rich and poor people stay poor.
The US democrats are 100% center right and saying center is maybe already a stretch
Yeah u right
100%. We need people like Mick Lynch
People should really learn to understand that there is a lot more nuance to be had around politics. Having criticism on somebody doesn’t mean you sight up to “the other side”.
Thank you for sharing your criticism
A good friend compliments your outfit. A best friend says you're too old to be wearing tripp jeans.
If we don't want to be embarrassed about who we hang out with, we gotta be dicks sometimes.
