What do you want her to do, split the vote? I agree Biden sucks, but shit, he’s at least better than any GOP alternative. The real solution is for the DNC to stop pushing crusty old white fucks.
What I want to see is for her and anyone else calling themselves a socialist to work to be a socialist power outside of the Democratic Party. The DNC is rotted to the core by the money and influence of the capitalist class in a way that, if not irreversible, is hopeless in the short to medium term. Just look at all of the explicitly capitalist Democratic leaders, including younger ones like Buttigieg.
If you want to pursue socialism, the DNC is the wrong place to do it. Hell, looking at history I think putting eggs in the electoralism bucket is fundamentally flawed. Look at the failed German revolution that helped make room for the ascension of the Nazis thanks to “socialists” making extreme compromises and undercutting socialist revolutionaries to instead work within bourgeois political parties.
Before “splitting the vote” there is democratic primary, where you are supposed to “split the vote” to select the best candidate. Although, my political inclinations are such, that I would chose Biden over her. But I am afraid that if anyone, but Tramp, were to run against Biden, then GOP candidate would win, simply because they are younger.
I know it’s early but who actually has a chance of being the Republican nominee? If anybody I would give the title to RFK jr, but he’s running as a Democrat.
I don’t see anybody in the field who has the charisma to beat Trump in the primary. And if it turns out he can’t run, I don’t see anybody being able to beat Biden, except ourselves.
I really don’t want to tell people to stop complaining in threads like these. I do believe we need to push progressive causes and progressive house members and get them to win elections. But if all the people who complain in here don’t show up to vote for Biden, there might not be enough votes to overcome all the degenerates who vote for Trump
the hell do you call this then?
The DNC already pushed for this crusty old white fuck.
yeah? and you’re saying we should stop?
This. We can worry about progressive politics in 2028, but right now we have to focus on defeating fascism, and Biden is currently the best candidate for that.
