    Why are you booing? Oh yeah, right. Because it’s a shallow and superficial take - but still, the boy has a point.

    The Dems have been neglecting democratic process within their own ranks, in effect alienating their constituency - and it has been going on long before Palestine hit the mainstream. The last time the Dems held a primary was in 2008.

    All of this has culminated in a disenfranchised voter base that just doesn’t give af about the dems - and it’s well deserved.

      Why the fuck do people upvote this misinformation? They held primaries literally this year, which is information everyone can trivially look up

        They held a “primary” where the party apparatus has already agreed to fall in line behind the sitting president and push through with no debates, where the only candidate on every ballot was Biden?

        The primary where a mass movement still spontaneously grew to explicitly tell the democratic party that they weren’t committed to Biden which got 700,000 votes (almost 5%)?

        Even ignoring the absolute undemocratic nature of the DNC primary as it existed…The primary in which Joe biden, not Kamala Harris won. While the only primary Kamala Harris ran in (2020), she was the first candidate to drop out thanks to total lack of support…

        Yeah… Everyone can look these things up. No need to defend absolute failures of the party, it would be one thing if it worked, it didn’t.

              What do you get out of throwing trans people under the bus because you didn’t want your own feelings to be hurt?

                Genocide defenders thinking they have the moral high ground.

                Consider seeing Palestinians as human first before you start talking about human rights.

                  Bombs were going to get shipped to Gaza regardless of which candidate won the presidency. At least Harris had promised to negotiate a ceasefire – Trump just told Netanyahu to hurry up and finish the job. But because of YOU not voting, millions of trans people in the united states are going to die too.

                  But leftists never seem to care about that.
