It's what they're good at.

I love AOC, but I don't think she has the sauce for a presidential run, at least not yet. Anyways, if we are ever going to start putting this era to bed, we need a bloodthirsty take-no-prisoners lefty liberal. That's not who she is.
Pritzker might fit the bill. Not that I personally like him better, but I think he might have the right instincts for this moment, even if I prefer AOC's vision better.
What they are doing now is test balloons. They just start hyping particular establishment candidates to see which ones and what framing works best.
Bernie has declined to rule out a run, and he is by far the most popular. Yet I don't think they even include him in the surveys. (Not that I'm saying he will/should run. Despite still being as sharp as ever, he is getting pretty old.)
Oh gosh, the 2028 frontrunner. The race hasn't started, we don't know who's running, and their already trying to name a winner. Fucking Democratic media complex.
Except don't think call it doxing. It's not doxing to provide the identity of federal police (gestapo) performing police actions.
The most successful method the wealthy have used to subvert social movements is infiltration. When a drone swarm can do that, then drone swarms will be what I worry about.
I put a lot of blame on the Nextdoor app. Every other post in my area is some ignorant suburbanite complaining about some "suspicious" kid in a hoodie walking past their doorbell cam.
That's not how it works. When the Democratic party takes a position, a lot Democratic loyalists tend to just sign on. It's an exception when the politicians start following the voters on issues. A whole lot of voters were livid with the party for supporting Israel, while a whole lot more were sleepwalking in lockstep with the party line. Had the party soured on Israel, they could have had both groups.
Netanyahu definitely deserves the noose, but it shouldn't be made to be about him. The atrocities being committed are being done with overwhelming popular support in Israel.
If only Democrats would actually fight like they believe in something more important than "the process".
America's tradition of democracy is dead, and it was always kind of a joke anyways. If the Democrats want to revive democracy then let them start with their own fucked up primary process. They have complete control over that, and it's even worse than the electoral collage fuckery.
Obama didn't fail to seat a DNC chair. Where did that even come from? What he did do is bankrupt the DNC which contributed to the Democratic party losing over a thousand seats nationally during his tenure, and allowed Hillary to turn the DNC into part of her primary campaign organization in 2016.
Um, no? None of that is what I said. I sincerely hope to see her as president some day, I just don't think she is equipped to move us into post-MAGA America. If anything, she is too good of a person for this moment. I want a straight up leftist psychopath that will do what should have been done after the civil war and punish the fuck out of the traitors so we aren't dealing with the aftermath of this bullshit for a hundred+ years.
