I'm in NY and I will NOT be voting for Schumer in the primaries. Hopefully, I'm not the only one with this mindset. The only Democrat that I see reflecting my outrage is Jasmine Crockett. All the established politicians, like Hakeem Jeffries, act as if they're clenching down to hold in a barbiturate enema.
Wouldn’t it be more accurate to show the democrats giving cops and border patrol boatloads of money? They were elected on a mandate of reform the police but instead they just gave them shit loads of money and built them fake towns so that the cops could get their rocks off imagining hurting citizens.
This guy with his history of comments on Lemmy of all people defending Democrats really tells you everything you need to know about the current batch of Democrats doesn't it?
Imagine complaining about the plumber who tried to fix your leaky pipe with a paper napkin, and have someone saying you are scapegoating them. It's their fucking job to prevent this.
As an outside observer, I think a certain Mr. Sanders could have provided a decent alternative candidate but the democrats decided against him (in a not very democratic way IIRC). Instead, they opted for the flawed political triangulation tactic and took a right politics drift, to their own peril.
Progressive candidates either tote the Democratic Party line or the party drops all support for them instead pushing all that money to a centrist candidate.
Then the democratic leaning media runs articles against those progressives saying stuff like "will progressives sink democratic electoral chances".
