    Oh wow, swinging?!? She’s so brave. Surely she’ll stick to her guns if she ever gets nominated…right??

    ffs get these establishment dems far, far away from the next election.

      In another binary choice, who would you choose? Another trump, or harm reduction?

        That’s a false choice.

        We don’t have to be stuck with Harris as the only alternative to Trump. We could just as easily nominate someone who doesn’t suck.

        If we have the misfortune of once again being forced to choose between Trump or harm reduction, we will all know it’s because the Democratic leadership forced that choice on us. I don’t think they would be forgiven for that betrayal.

          “just as easily” if and only if the DNC doesn’t nuke the progressive option and force the Republican in sheeps clothing to take the nomination

            That’s exactly my point.
            The choice lies with DNC leadership.
            If those choices result in disastrous voting outcomes, the blame should lie with them as well.

              I agree, but clearly they’re either unphased by the blame (e.g. for 2016 and 2024) or they’re in denial about it. Personally I don’t think they give a shit. They won’t be held accountable by anyone but their billionaire donors.

        Definitely her over Trump, but she has to get past the primaries first, and we cannot forget that she ended up being a supremely feckless candidate on all the core voter issues that gave her momentum at the beginning of her abridged campaign.
