Fortunately I have rank choice voting, so I can vote for the progressive candidates first and also the center-right Democratic candidates after
rank choice voting
So jealous. The people here want to sell Prop Rep, and it's baffling for regular folks.
Don't worry I will anyone who isn't an AIPAC shill or centrist will have my vote.
You need to include AIPAC adjacent, they are just one of many PACs backing Israel. And there's a handful doing the work of AIPAC for free
As is tradition.
No. I won't. I'm paying attention to the people left of center. Fuck dems.
You can influence the Dems to move to the left, or you can help the fascists. Those are the real choices.
For a while now the Ds have been owned by corpos. They support the establishment and that stance is as far left as center right, and many times far less left than that's. A lot of D candidates have R policies with some lip service to left ideology. The governor of MI was caught saying she didn't care what the people wanted about data centers, she'll make a deal to build them anyway. Gavin Newsom is positioning himself as a presidential candidate and he's about as corpo establishment as someone can get. So when the choice is a corporate owned candidate thats either far right or center right, its not really a choice. I won't vote blue no matter who b/c that just enables and empowers Ds to continue acting like they currently are.
I think it'd be a lot easier and smarter for Bernie to convince the centrist dem leadership to stop supporting genocide and at least pretend to give a crap about the needs of the voters than bernie asking all dem voters to support genocide (thats implicitely what he is doing if we are real about his ask) and to support a dem party that ignores the peoples needs.
Why would the centrist leadership do what they are paid not to do? This shift won't happen through convincing but through losses of centrists in primariea and victories of progs in generals.
