    She disappeared after Trump won and hasnt had a thing to say to help the democratic voter base. She needs to sit the fuck down and let someone who actually cares about the voter base and is actually going to fight for their rights run

    It seems that the only thing the Democratic Party is remotely good at, is making me want not support Democrats.

      Yup. I haven’t help the Democratic party in over a decade now outside of voting for them when the progressive I backed didn’t win.

      Slow but steady progress.

      If you would have said that before the election, you would have been burned at the stake in this community. Attitudes have changed real quick. lol

        Eh you’ll still get downvotes to oblivion on Lemmy.world for pointing out that the democrats suck a massive bag of dicks. That won’t change.

          And right on that flip side you’ll get downvoted and banned from .ml for pointing out that even if Democrats suck a massive bag of dongs they’re still unfortunately the least of two evils.

          The Internet, 'tis a silly place.

              Believe what you will but my personal experience with the politics side of .ml, that’s the case. It’s not a place for open or honest discussion, not that the internet really is a place for that.

          Insulting dems is usually not downvote-worthy here. Insulting Biden is not ok with a lot of people. They still want to carve him on mount rushmore. Comparable to George Washington, I’m told. A real man of genius.

            While I appreciate the hyperbole I think most of us are trying to say he got a raw deal. Biden was much better both in policies and what he got done m than people give him credit for … especially given what he had to work with.

            A president is always going to be a mixed bag, never exactly what you want, having to compromise essentially everywhere and deal with many conflicting priorities. Yet if you look back at things actually done, Biden signed quite a bit of very positive changes

            Of course that legacy is disappearing fast under someone who ignore laws, only cares about his own priorities, lets his corporate benefactors run wild, and whose entire platform is to regress to a mythical 1950s that never was. It’s going to take years, maybe decades, to rebuild a functioning government, introduce what will be legacy technologies with established foreign dominance, get most of the world to trust us again. It’ll take many years to restore human rights, and the ever more broken education system may doom red states to be nothing more than cheap outsourced labor

              You have to balance that stuff with his support for a far right genocide and his treatment of the defund movement.

        Still tons of people who suck off Biden’s dick as if it were a miracle cure for democracy.

        Not that he was ever going to do enough to actually save it.

    Well you could probably sit it out again in protest, seeing how well that worked out last year.

      Yes. Californians had no reason to vote last year because we live in a sham democracy. The state inevitably went for kamalacaust. Feel free to continue blaming voters tho.

      DNC: But what would the centrist Republicans think!? Centrist Republicans are the new cool thing! We’re aiming for their support now! The left is out, in with the center!

      Sane speak: We’re looking to unlife the Democratic party! Down with us!

          I was aiming more for “political suicide”, but I know some people are sensitive to that word so I chose not to use it out of consideration of them not any fear of retaliation.

    The only thing this poll is measuring is name recognition. She’s not even announced that she’s running. What are we doing?

      The comments here reveal that no one actually read the first two sentences of the article. Kind of embarrassing.

    What will she do differently to Newsom? “There is not a thing that comes to mind.”
