It's not a given. Lemmy is under a constant barrage of comments only attacking Biden and the Dems for supporting Isreal and therefore genocide. The blame is only put on Biden and the Dems.
Keeping perspective of how much worse the Republicans are in this specific regard if extremely imperious during this election. Being critical of the Dems is fine, but keeping the real context is vital.
The objective of these users who only criticize the Dems is clear. Stop falling for it.
I was against Biden dropping out because I don't think Harris has charisma. I've been pleasantly surprised at the initial reaction.
While I hope to be proven wrong, I suspect this initial momentum is going to fade before long and it's going to get rough as the excitement dies down and the Right get their talking points dialed in.
But it's going far better than I thought in these first few days, so I'll happily take the L on my predictions.
I thought MAGA was coined when he was demonizing immigrants and campaigning on building a wall and making Mexico pay for it.
It was a racists dog whistle from the very beginning. It meant expelling the ~~Jews~~ Mexicans to make America White again. After 8 years of a Black president.
Did people really miss this? This was like... the main focus of his campaign.
"Stop saying the quiet part out loud during campaign season. You can do it afterwards again"
From the party that has actively encouraged these white nationalists at every step
We're celebrating the apparent increase in voters that aren't even following the duopoly policies enough to recognize literal fascism vs imperfect but generally good faith politicians.
If they're not informed enough to see the face eating leopard party for what it is, adding more parties to the mix won't improve anything.
I agree that ranked choice voting is desirable. But it won't help with these kinds of voters.
Biden got the union workers their largest demands after ending the strike. People are stuck on the headlines immediately after ending the strike and apparently missed this fast follow a few weeks later IIRC
You're not imagining it. During Obama, the nazis were literally marching the streets. Remember those tiki torch MFs?
And coincidentally, white pride militia wannabes sprung up with that momentum and marched behind Trump.
This isn't subtle.
We have a perfect museum for Trump. It's themed around "Tolerance". He would be around his greatest heroes.
I agree. But there's not enough time to get momentum on any of the other front runners. She has the biggest name without a lot of negativity from Right propaganda (Newsom).
She's our candidate. Any kind of run off is going to waste time and probably fragment the party. I'll vote for Harris. Not as happily as I would even the old and faltering Biden that dropped out. But I'll fall in line and vote for her, and promote her to others.
Because it's our best chance.
I wonder if all those rampant anti Biden astroturfers are going to create new accounts to dump on Harris, or if they'll just continue on.
Yep. She gets my vote as a living, breathing person that seems healthy enough. I'm not excited to vote for her, and I'm really concerned about our chances with her, but she's not Trump and automatically gets my vote assuming she gets the nomination.
Have you not received your new talking points yet? Harris is not a zionist afaik.
