I mean, she'd be better than Trump. But that's such a ridiculously low bar.
Surely the Dems can come up with a better candidate that her, Gavin Newsom, or some similarly uninspiring/greasy candidate. Right? Right???
That isn't the question, the question is over whether the DNC and the ruling class allow any other candidate to run against Trump.
Well, we're in luck, the new chair of the DNC (Ken Martin) wants more candidates like Zohran Mamdani, and he has complete control over the DNC until August 2029.
He's also pouring money into local races, supporting the local democratic parties the previous few DNC chairs mostly ignored.
He does???
He's backed progressives in the recent state elections. I don't know if he actually cares or not, but he seems to want to win, and that's how you win these days.
There's this interview;
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/elections/democratic-national-committee-zohran-mamdani-endorsement-nyc-mayor-rcna237025
I was going him saying he wanted more zohrans rather than him smartly endorsing him.
Or something more recent from Ken. Couldn't find anything other than his campaign slogans for why he should be next dnc chair
Fair point.
But Harris is the best candidate… For the interests of the wealthy members of the DNC.
She will keep things exactly how they are, but act like they have changed for the better. The rich will get richer, and the poor will get assaulted by police.
Why would the DNC give a single fuck about the desires of anyone but themselves? They suffer no consequences for their actions.
A chimpanzee with a switchblade would be better than Trump. At least it wouldnt start a war in Iran ... or participate in a child sex trafficking ring.
Your opponent being ass is no excuse to slack off.
The trafficking ring are the ones sending the monkeys into the fight.
Yeah but can you name Any One Candidate who's better and would win?
Bernie Sanders or AOC, for a start.
WTF is this US fetish for old people. Saunders will be 86 by 2028, if he gets to that age.
America will not elect a woman. Not a young woman, and not a young, latina woman. Pale, Male and Stale or its another 4 years of the GOP. Stop pretending you are some progressive European country.
Even so, he would be better. Also shut up with your sexist racism.
Cool well I guess we will just stay in our lane then.
