    It’s not going to be JD. Mark my words, save my comment, it’s going to be Tucker Carlson. And if that happens and Dems haven’t changed their tune we are absolutely fucked.

      If that happens and leftists are still their own biggest enemies with their pursuit of an ideologically pure candidate that doesn’t exist we’ll be fucked.

        I don’t think most leftists are looking for an ideologically pure candidate, they’re looking for someone who will actually represent the people. The Israel issue is a great example of this disconnect; amongst Dem voters 90% are against supporting Israel, and yet there’s only a handful of Democrat politicians who have are agaimst sending Israel military aid. It’s really not a high bar for candidates to clear, and yet establishment Dems just keep SPRINTING to the right.

        Leftists arent their own enemies, their enemies are neoliberals.

            Newsom is not left wing just because his interns make fun of Trump on twitter. Some people don’t want their options to be “fascist” or “neoliberal” and shills like you critizise them more than they do with the literal nazis keeping this system in place

              I have friends and family getting their rights taken away and getting deported right now I need Trump gone.

              If that makes me a shill so be it.

              Start a party that has a chance then start lecturing about changing the system.
