    I’m an adult, so I’ll take an uncharismatic candidate over a traitor felon rapist

    Great.

    But like a whole shit ton of people tried to warn for the last year now, Biden/Kamala we’re enough to beat trump.

    We’ll need all the voters again, we won’t need anyone that was involved in either of their campaigns though. So why shit on the literal tens of millions we need in defense of less than an airplane’s worth of people who hightailed it back to their mansions?

    You get that, right? We don’t have to run uncharismatic conservative candidates to beat trump, it’s literally the worst option we have

    We can just run a charismatic candidate with a progressive campaign promise like we did with Obama. Did you forget that?

      You answered your own question.

      That airplane’s worth of people come and go. They won’t be relevant next time around.

      The tens of millions of people that failed to do their civic duty and inform themselves responsibly, waiting around instead for a party to court them until they felt appeased, will still be there, not doing their civic duty next time around.

      And that is why the fault rests on American voters, not politicians that come and go.

        So you think insulting them and badgering them that they shouldn’t have a single standard then letter by name…

        You…

        You think this is the most effective move to get them back in the party?

        You don’t even kind of think what would be most effective is explaining to people how the DNC works and what the new chair is like would work better?

        Cuz like, I just have a bachelor’s in psychology, so I would absolutely love to hear what I’m missing where you think the best way to recruit people in the fight against fascism is yelling insults.

        If you want to help, actually want to help, can you do what will actually work and not work against the party?

        I know the PUMA people are still around and bitter from 08, this is starting to feel like that. I tend to just block those people tho so I can concentrate on what translates to Dem gains in the federal government
