But yeah gun to my head, I'll take it. Figuratively speaking, at least for now. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Doozer@piefed.world 3 points 8 months ago Bang on. permalink fedilink source parent [–] ynthrepic@lemmy.world 13 points 8 months ago (1 child) But milquetoast is losing. People want change. The time to start thinking about alternatives to him is now. I think AOC will have a better chance frankly. Particularly if Memdani's momentum continues. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world -2 points 8 months ago (1 child) A lefty needs to win a governor seat in a major state first to continue that momentum to the White House.

But fuck Chuck Schumer though and every other democrat who folded on the shutdown. Purposefully giving up their only leverage to please corporate interests of course. Nobody was blaming the Democrats for for the shutdown and they folded anyway. It's obviously a totally deliberate attempt to undermine their own populist success in the name of preserving the economic status quo. permalink fedilink source parent [–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 6 points 8 months ago Yeah that's the thing about capitalists: They come as a package with fascists. permalink fedilink source parent
