ive thought about getting a tweats. i’m held back by the thought of another social media platform which reminds me i only have ten friends. 
and it does seem an often toxic place, magnified by bots and pseudonymity
along with i guess some of the same people who were torn between the idea of a trump presidency and a sanders presidency the last time around
I have been very clear that I side with Sanders and Warren over the other candidates. Both of them have flaws that mean that at this point I’m not willing to openly choose one over the other. I don’t include brocialists and class reductionists in these flaws.
I don’t use the phrase Bernie-bros, because it distracts from class reductionism being a bigger problem. It will still be around after Bernie, unless we do something about it now. For some reason POC, women and LGBTQ+ always get excluded when everything becomes about class.
M4A could help all people, and I support it for this reason, but it can easily exclude women and LGBTQ+ (especially transgender) without any awareness of how it can also be used as a tool of opression. I’m sure Bernie won’t do this, but could you trust Rebublicans to not try? How about right wing democrats?
Not in the same way, no. There are toxic groups out there, but they aren’t brocialists because biden and pete are social liberals, not socialists or social democrats. The toxicity is different and still a problem.
i seriously hope no one thinks i was trying to undermine black lives matter. but maybe that’s the effect of me posting that?
the whole point was just that blm is a real and meaningful group.
they do great work. and white supremacists target it for precisely that reason. setting up fake groups and fake rallies, trying to push agendas other than police reform and racial equity.
my thought i guess is that at least some of what’s happening with sanders supporters might be the same.
but as others are pointing out- it’s not really necessary. white men will white men regardless.
On reddit, r/breadtube is having a debate/argument over whether trans people or Joe Rogan viewers are more important to the Bernie campaign.
This is our fear.
So it’s like Risk, but the pieces are all white?
And will Cenk Uyger get an appointment in the administration? Or get to weigh in on others for appointments?
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DON’T DROP OUT AMY
Was coming to post this News too. He, Klobuchar, and Warren I don’t think have a chance at this stage.
I feel it’s a two horse race between Bernie and whichever of the other two old white males you think is strongest.
Warren should stay in. There should be second progressive candidate that can step in just in case.
New rule.
The old average age to become President was 55 - now it’s 75 at the youngest.
It’s funny that they put a minimum in at 40 and it made sense. They thought let’s ensure a candidate has some life experience and political office experience to have learned the necessary skills to be president.
They never imagined we needed a cap because they never imagined 70 somethings doing this shit.
So long, Mayo Pete. We hardly knew ya!*
* Since you seemed to spend most of your time spouting AI-generated centrist-speak.
Problem is that one person’s 70 isn’t another’s. But almost no one is up to the demands of the job at 80 - and those three are all pushing 80.
Not that life expectancies won’t increase and that may not be the same in a few years- but they’ve been decreasing now.
Sigh, if only our election process included feats of strength maybe we could weed out these olds.
US presidency brought to you by Depends, Metamucil and Matlock.
WHY ARE ALL THESE FRONT RUNNERS QUITTING
Thread:
ALL the candidates are problematic. This includes your favorite. Also, downticket races matter as much or more than the presidency.
It’s not perfect (it has trouble with mail-in like WA), but…
she didn’t apologize enough /s
