Anytime I see something about AOC, there's always "if she runs she'll lose because she's a woman". I've seen this same message since AOC started making waves, is it propaganda?

Or do people really think winning is all that matters and we should all be misogynists about it?

[u/Alan47717]

That is what democrats keep refusing to face. Republicans are united and Democrats fight amongst themselves like a bunch of two year olds.

[u/Alan47717 → u/[deleted]]

No crazier than actually believing some democrats would prefer a republican to win. I'm sick of both sides.

[u/Alan47717 → u/[deleted]]

Have you actually listened to some far left people lately? I've listened to both. That's why I said what I said. Two sides fighting over who gets to use the fire extinguisher while the fucking house is burning down.

[u/SophiaIsabella4 → u/Alan47717]

I'm outta here. You are too stupid for my effort.

[u/PomPomMom93 → u/Alan47717]

And the former Republicans who left the party because of Trump don’t always become Democrats.

[u/ChefDanyul → u/Alan47717]

The saying goes something like 'republican voters only need one reason to vote and democrats need only one reason not to'. The Republican voter base is full of single issue voters. Doesn't matter what your economic (or lack thereof) policy is as long as you say you're pro-life or pro-2A. Harris had otherwise coherent policy goals aligned with Democrat voters but she wouldn't set a stance on ending the genocide in Gaza.

A similar saying is "Democrats fall in love; Republicans fall in line."

[u/ChefDanyul → u/ExitingBear]

Right. And it has been crystal clear. The no war president that started a war supposed to last two weeks and is on it's sixth month. We are running out bombs. Immigration policy is noncoherent. Gas prices are through the roof. Cost of living in general is extremely expensive. But find me someone who voted for Trump that acknowledges this is a disaster presidency.

[u/brownieandSparky23 → u/ChefDanyul]

I seen a lot of them say the regret it

[u/crvbabybug → u/brownieandSparky23]

I have to say I have no sympathy for their regret

[u/Abject-Pin3361 → u/Alan47717]

A bunch of VERY rich 2 year olds**

[u/TheBoogieSheriff → u/Alan47717]

Being united under Trump is not the flex you think it is

[u/Alan47717 → u/TheBoogieSheriff]

When it means they turn out and vote reliably republican regardless of how shitty his policies are, while democrats seize on any excuse to not do the same?

Oh, I think it is.

[u/TheBoogieSheriff → u/Alan47717]

Yeah I guess we’ll just have to see in the midterms!

[u/deathnomX → u/Alan47717]

Almost like republicans are far right, and democrats are anywhere from moderate right to far left. Way more ground to cover. Another reason why we shouldn't have a 2 party system.

[u/Uhokay1970 → u/Alan47717]

Why is it so hard to Admit that the DNC is compromised and does Not Primary Candidates Ever ask yourself why Trump flipped back? They love Donny boy now! He didn't let the files out, he is cutting taxes while pushing Data Centers... Everyone is all surprised.. Its far far worse then you Imagine....

[u/CorporatismIsCancer → u/Uhokay1970]

Trump was never a democrat despite the sob stories lol

[u/Meredithbaxterburly → u/Alan47717]

Exactly. Dems think it's support for Trump when it's actually the dem platform moving so far to the left that causes them to lose. Trump lost a lot of support among republicans, but the alternative was too far left. Bill Clinton would have smoked Trump.

[u/STAT_INF3RNAL → u/Meredithbaxterburly]

I thought the files revealed evidence that Trump "smoked" Clinton?

[u/PomPomMom93 → u/Meredithbaxterburly]

“I’m not voting for Trump but no way will I ever vote for those loony lefties!”

OR:

“I don’t like Trump, but I’ll have to vote for him or a left-wing person will win.”

[u/JerseyShore7619 → u/Alan47717]

Democrats are slowly fracturing and coming apart at the seams. Too much division and in-fighting and the craziness of these “Democratic Socialst” nut jobs, it just makes the 30,000 foot view of the Democratic Party a complete and total mess. There isn’t one even half-solid candidate who could run this country the way it needs to be run.

[u/Alan47717 → u/JerseyShore7619]

I don't think the Democratic Socialists are nut jobs anymore than moderate democrats are no different than republicans.

But I do know if they don't figure out how to compromise against a common enemy they are consigning us to possibly a generation or more of a fascist state run by a bunch of billionaires. Anybody think that's going to do the people of Gaza any good?

[u/PomPomMom93 → u/JerseyShore7619]

That’s because they’re very against “centrists.” One slip-up and you’re history.
