Hope they’re right.
Why does it take good people protesting for him to do the right thing?
He’s a neolib.
Yes yes this is a dangerous casino tactics… All may be lost to Trump etc… But ballsy and refreshing to see someone stand by moral standards, and do something for a change. Unconditional bidet supporters just know to shame those who are vocal about supporting genocide not being ok, with the Trump scarecrow trope all over the place. Ready to welcome the down vote of people who think they know better than this Jewish gentleman.
Edit: bidet instead of Biden is a typo, but I’ll leave it there
It’s not dangerous - learn how our election system works… this is a primary.
FAFO
These are the same morons who will whine like regretful bitches after trump gets back into the wh. Play stupid games…
This is a primary. Why does every article about the MI primary have at least a couple of comments expressing this bootlicking sentiment. It’s fucking antidemocratic and embarrassing to see such a deep misunderstanding.
Personally, I’ll be voting for whoever is the democratic nominee in the general (almost assuredly Biden) but in the primary I’ve voted for a different candidate.
Primaries are healthy, I’m actually disappointed that nobody is legitimately running against Biden because then we’d get some real policy pressure on him - the better we force his platform to be (better being more in line with the majority of people, in this case not blindly supporting Netanyahu) the more likely he is to win the general election.
It’s the establishment assholes that want to erase the primary that actually are making it more likely that Trump is being elected - by trying to suppress the healthy debate in our primary you’re the one trying to win stupid prizes.
I hear you and agree that it’s frustrating.
From an electoral politics perspective, it doesn’t make any sense to have a full-on, guns blazing primary. We have hundreds of years of history showing that the incumbent has a huge advantage and, frankly, nobody with enough money to make a difference wants to burn their money weakening the incumbent for the sake of policy discussion.
Israel’s behavior is abhorrent. However, Americans behaved horrifically after 9/11 and many of their allies stuck by them then, so in a way there is an expectation that they will be there for Israel during this time; foreign policy is inexorably nuanced and compromising.
Perhaps if there were no issues other than Israel’s war we would be having a different conversation. Even if we blindly ignore the fact that Trump’s foreign policy is blatantly anti-Muslim, the fact is that Trump & his allies were just at CPAC making speeches about their plans to bring an end to democracy and nobody around here has found a way to beat Trump other than Biden. Party leadership (the establishment) has set the course and while the choice is certainly unsavory, is it worse than the alternative?
No problem. I’ll be revisiting this comnent after November.
