    After Kamala there’s no way they’ll have another female candidate. The American people would rather vote for all the adjectives that describe Trump than a woman.

      That’s exactly why they would run another woman candidate. You don’t think the dems are trying to win, do you?

      Clinton and Harris are just fake smiles on a status quo neoliberal platform. Of course that didn’t go anywhere. Elizabeth Warren might have stood a chance. AOC is outright popular now but I don’t think she would have won, yet.

        The “Fight Oligarchy” rallies and “Hands Off” protests need to get bigger. Then she could be popular enough.

      After Kamala there’s no way they’ll have another female candidate.

      Which is extra funny given that candidates like Gretchen Witmer, Liz Warren, and AOC are some of their most popular candidates the party still has to offer.

      Gruesome Newsom is going to clinch then nomination on a platform of “America is a fundamentally misogynistic nation” and liberals are going to waltz into 2028 screaming “Vote for us! We hate women more than the Republicans!”

          I’ll believe it when I see it. He’s still got the Getty fortune and the Lib half of California media firmly behind him

            True, but he’s burned his bridges with the Left via transphobia and trying to court the Right, and with the Right by inviting Right Wingers to the podcast and then calling them Bible Thumpers while trying to court them.

            He’s got a life raft that’ll prevent him from drowning overnight, but he took a swing at the big time and missed.

              He burned it with The Left when he came after the homeless way back during his San Fransisco mayorship. That hasn’t really hurt him, because liberals continue to love the guy.

              He’s got a life raft that’ll prevent him from drowning overnight

              He’s the Andrew Cuomo of the West Coast. He’ll never drown. Like a fat turd, he’ll always float to the top.

      If that’s the lesson dems took from the election, dems are going to lose again.

      Stop pushing far right republicans as the dem nominees, regardless of their supposed genitals.

      It was quite a blow to my “all humans are inherently good” mindset, I’m now going with “all humans probably have some deeply rooted cultural biases”.

          Because babies aren’t racist, sexist, etc. We’re not perfect, and we get some weird ideas as we go through life, but in general I think most people are generally just trying to get by and do their best.

          But also yeah sometimes you have to do a violence or whatever.

          Maternal instincts, the lived experience of kindness between friends and neighbors, and the last 10,000 years of gradual but undeniable improvements in social equity could argue this point.

          I might also argue that humans are fundamentally good, but still highly mutable. So a few bad apples really can spoil the bunch.
