That "or" is doing some serious heavy lifting.

I might buy a new television or an automobile.

Please no president. Senate is ok.

America has shown it can't handle a woman, much less woman of color, much less young, much less progressive. The DNC just needs a straight white man who is decently progressive but appears to be moderate on stuff. All of this to say: Tim Walz please.

Probably Senate to primary Schumer. That would be the only logical move.

[–] rafoix@lemmy.zip 21 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Schumer is a spineless AIPAC sellout. Easily one of the main reasons why the Democratic Party is so disliked.

Congratulations for scapegoating women rather than addressing any of the other more meaningful commonalities between Clinton and Harris.

People don’t really care about identity politics as much as the politicians do
