    Please no, he’s just another limousine liberal, up there with Hillary and the gang. I think people are done with that. Let’s get some real revolutionaries in there.

      I’ll vote for the actual limousine if it has a chance of beating the next MAGA candidate, whether it’s Vance, Trump Jr, or Donald Trump with a fake mustache that fools no one but his voters. (And as long as that limousine wins a contested primary.)

        That’s the issue with the hard right candidates, people keep settling for Republican-lite Dems that don’t address core economic problems because they’re left in comparison, then predictably they lose to far right politicians when their moderate reforms don’t do anything other than provide temporary relief. We need actual left politicians to institute radical structural changes if we ever want to break this cycle. Or a revolution, but given the way this country is going I have no faith that the victors in that would be on the left

              What would the world have looked like if Bernie was the candidate against Donald…? 😕

        If there’s another legitimate election, you want to double down on neoliberalism and trying to meet fascist in the middle yet again?

        If we can’t elect a revolutionary, then it’s all over anyway until collapse, Trump is a symptom of the crony capitalist greed disease that’s infected both parties. It’s a shame we can’t even agree that our economy’s structure and incentives are the problem and requires drastic change, because without addressing that, nothing can begin to improve. It is the bloodsucking vampire elephant in the room.
