MODERATORS
 

Ameshia Cross and Amber Duke discuss Democrats' plans against third-parties.

Short Summary

  1. The Democratic National Committee's efforts to coordinate attacks on third-party and independent presidential candidates.
  2. Concerns that a third-party ticket could splinter the base and potentially lead to Donald Trump winning a second term.
  3. Discussion on uncommitted voters, particularly in Michigan, who are hesitant to support Biden due to concerns about his stance on the Israel-Palestine conflict.
  4. Potential impact of third-party candidates like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Cornell West on the political landscape and differing views within the Democratic party regarding support for Israel.
  5. Contrasts between Republicans and Democrats on women's reproductive rights and President Biden's evolving stance on Israel, especially in relation to civilian casualties in the conflict with Gaza.
  6. Criticism of the No Labels initiative as a vanity project and questioning its effectiveness in challenging the two-party system.
  7. Highlighting RFK Jr.'s unconventional campaign approach focusing on digital media platforms over traditional mainstream media outlets.
  8. Issues related to Cornell West's campaign structure, financial burden, and shifting political allegiances.
  9. Importance of older leaders stepping aside to make way for new blood, contrasting with the trend of older leaders in major parties holding onto power.
  10. Decline in support for Cornell West due to his lack of adaptability to modern communication methods and perception as an agent of chaos.

Splinters the Dem base?! Lmao they’re just gonna break up the MAGA asshats and I’m ok with that. Now if there was a viable progressive candidate, then the Democrats might have to worry and drop some of the neolib handsitting

Looking at the data from state to state, shifts are happening, not to mention the uncommits in recent weeks.

True, progressive candidates went to the democrats to die off...
