  • Is the website in the voting booth?

  • But that just doesn’t happen. We have to plan for the lowest common denominator.

  • I have no idea what party these people belong to. It's not listed on the sheet. Their policy positions aren't shown. Their endorsements aren't shown. Nobody knows who the fuck any of these people are.

    What you need Ranked Choice Voting for is Congress and the Presidency. Local elections also need to be partisan. Otherwise how the fuck do you know where any of the candidates even generally stand on the issues?

  • It was just too late. Plus, he was supporting Harris, who they didn't see as genuine.

  • Good analysis:

    "Ppl like her because she’s real. Ppl perceive Trump as real too. Dems need to do a better job of just being real with ppl. Coming on social media and chatting with ppl, etc."

    That's why people liked Bernie too.

  • Oh really? I’ve always heard about that movie but never seen it or looked up the plot.

    It is also similar to Ender’s Game, in a way.

  • I think you're right.

  • There was also a significant portion of black men who voted Trump because they were misogynists. It's just a fact.

    But that's still not discounting the fact that someone with Bernie's message and goals would have won in a landslide.

  • Responding to this loss with "the only way to win is to be racist" is basically just giving up and saying the fascists are right.

    Nobody is saying that.

  • What's some good news from election night in the US?

  • Are you kidding? California voted to keep slavery, and against rent control, and against the AIDS organization who was funding the rent control measure.

  • The lack of a left isn't the problem. It's the left rejecting the center that's the problem.

  • DSA doesn't seem to be picking up steam anymore either. I believe it got infiltrated by wreckers who created divisions within the movement.

  • He's not going to run in 2028. AOC is going to run in 2028. And she'll lose just like Kamala did, because she's been bowing to the donors as well.
