Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries probably cannot even understand this.

    1. Why are Mr. Jeffries and Mr. Schumer even in the room both have repeatedly failed to support their oaths of office.

      The idea that the primary is generating a candidate and that the leftists refuse to try and influence it is emblematic of everything wrong with the modern left

    3. Remember: Vote Blue, No Matter Who*

      *Unless it’s an actual progressive. Then we’d rather let the country burn.

      You ARE letting Trump win and he’s WORSE regarding Israel.

      What is it going to take to get this through people’s fucking skulls? This argument is essentially “Trump is better than Harris”.

    5. Posts like this feel like Russian bots.

      You already had candidates who didn’t support genocide. If Kamala was in charge, Israel would have been reined in and things would’ve returned to the status quo. Not great, but not bad. Instead, we got Trump, who was posting memes of turning Palestine into a Trump resort, and Israel was given carte blanche to move in and take whatever they want. Well done!

      Stuff like this absolutely doesn’t feel genuine. Ya’ll don’t care about Palestine. It was never about Palestine, just like it’s not about genocide. If it were about Palesteine, you would’ve supported the DNC, rather than “both sides” and thus not caring if Palestine is bulldozed because the DNC wasn’t doing good *enough*. If it were about genocide, then we’d be hearing about the OTHER genocides going on in the world too. But we don’t. Because you don’t actually care. It’s just an excuse to hate on Israel and the DNC.

      Obligatory disclaimer: Yeah, Israel is committing genocide right now. It’s awful. There are real criticisms to be had towards them and the DNC. But posts like this don’t accomplish that.

      Kamala didn’t “support genocide” you fucking orange turd supporting sheep.

      Go f*ck a duck Jill Stein tankies. 

      With all qualifications and kindness intended… 

      Fuck this noise. Only one party happily subscribes to Islamaphobia, antisemitism, Russian bootlicking, and cop  bootlicking. Often on the same day. 

      Leftists, go ahead and run in Democrat primaries. You win them oftentimes. So keep up the good work. Just stop conflating center leftists who like FDR, with actual fascists 

    8. I don’t like eating stale bagels so instead I’m going to eat a moldy fish sandwich stuffed with used needles covered in diarrhea. This is what some of you sound like.

    9. Leftists who didnt vote Harris knowing damn well the race was going to be close, did not actually care about Gaza. Did not actually care about the things they espouse. Because even if things wouldn’t have been perfect under Harris, they would have been leaps and bounds better than what we got. I’m sure the Gazans and Iranian schoolgirls’ families wish you would have voted for Harris. The victims of ICE wish you would have voted Harris.

      But hey. You made a statement to stroke your ego 👍 a vote isn’t a 100% endorsement. It’s a, “hey, I think gIven the 2 likely outcomes I’ve been presented, this one will yield better results.”

    10. I mean sure but I also absolutely do blame everyone who made that choice.

      You had a not ideal choice or Trump, good job……

    11. OP must be one of those “why did the DNC let Trump win by not earning my vote because I’m entitled and out of touch and pretended to care about primaries and Gaza but really just have my head up my own ass” folks.

      These people are the reason we’re in the mess we’re in.

    12. Why not? They did before. They fell for Russian propaganda and antagonizing online.

    13. leftist listen to me.

      it’s not someone else’s responsibility to find candidates for you to support. like that’s not how this works there’s no magical wizard hanging out at the DNC deciding who puts their name in the race and who doesn’t.

      get involved with politics. democracy is not someone else’s responsibility.

    14. 99-Runecrafting on

      Yea this is stupid. I would take an Isreal supporting democrat than an isreal supporting republican

    15. Adm1ral_ackbar on

      Down vote this propaganda. It’s meant to fracture left and center left so that fascism wins.

    16. Too many Dems are corporate/aipac owned to allow for any real paradigm shifting candidate. They damned us to trump for the sake of Hillary when Bernie could have swept.

      Schumer is more invested in Israel than the US so he’s fine with Trump’s behavior as long as his donors are fine with Trump’s behavior.

      Until we get citizens United overturned our government will be run of, by and for the billionaires.

      Maybe it’s not a genocide and there is more than your own viewpoint

      We need leaders with grace and temper

    18. The projection of the left as they deal with their complicity in the rise of trump, and yes Genocide (which vastly accelerated under Trump) is stunning.

      I notice these are coming back all of a sudden though, we must be close to election season.

    19. But for real they’d rather let a literal nazi win vs just vote for the D. Like republicans don’t have these perfection standards. Win the primary and you get the vote, it’s that simple.

    20. Id ask these folks: 1) are you planning to volunteer for campaigns for “anti-genocide” candidates for Democratic Party? 2) will you be donating to these candidates? 3) will you stand for elections yourself if you can’t find a candidate sufficiently “anti-genocide”?

      Or are you planning on doing nothing and then just bitching when Gavin Newson is the Dem’s candidate in 2028?

      If so, you’re being dishonest with your complaint about the Democrats.

      You understand the America’s first past the post electoral system encourages a 2 party system, right? And those 2 parties, naturally, need to be big tent coalitions in order to achieve electoral success. That means, for the Democrats, taking into account the views of swing voters, moderates liberals, progressives and leftists.

      That’s a structural issue that isn’t going away with you not voting for the lesser of two evils.

      I’d also warn anyone who’s flirting with taking that argument seriously: a lot of folks who make this argument are accelerationists. They argue against
      helping the least worse candidate get elected because, they hope, that by making people’s lives so much worse, by getting another republican elected, it pushes society an inch closer to social upheaval, violent revolution and then magically, their political utopia. Basically, they think your suffering is a necessary evil to achieve their goals.

    21. If “leftists” would actually vote, maybe someone would give a damn.

      But they don’t because Biden, or Kamala, or whatever reason du jour.

      Fuck you and your petty excuses for not voting! We could have had Gore or Clinton, but noooo. not your first pick. So shut the fuck up and vote for the candidate who is not a freaking whack job!

    22. Whoever these leftists are need to live in a red or purple state for a day and see that far left candidates don’t win here. Many swing voters in purple states viewed Kamala as too left. Maybe I’m wrong but prove me wrong first by running and WINNING with leftist in red and purple state races.

    23. Biden and Kamala actively tried to reign Israel in, worked towards a ceasefire, were critcal on the civilian casualties in Gaza, and threatened to stop military support if Israel didn’t stop. He and Nahenyatu were not close by the end of Biden’s term.

      Now, Israel is not just bombing Palestine, but also Iran, who is retaliating by bombing the East Arab world. 

      This is only funny if irony is your strong suit

      They do understand, in case you aren’t sure. They are funded by the same corporations as the Republicans. They have the same goals.
