So for once they can just say the really obvious. Jesus it’s so depressing that they couldn’t do this in any of the last two election against Trump.

E: I stand corrected, see @muad_dibber@lemmygrad.ml’s comments below

    And the dems still haven’t been able to hit upon the real ultimate strategy of not running a candidate far to the right of the electorate they’re ostensibly trying to court.

    Ultra wealthy: lol never going to happen while we exist bud!

    I just hope she doesn’t cave in to those 2 billionaire assholes that are demanding she dump that person who’s name I forgot that is actually going after monopolies.

      haha yeah I know, but the fact remains that one of the most popular politicians of the last two decades got there not through whatever rhetorical strategy aimed at the youth, but through actually having popular policies. Every election the dems jump through so many hoops just to seem “cool” and “with it” and they still can’t match the energy an old white dude with little understanding of youth culture was able to drum up. The only reason it’s working this year is because Trump is so deeply disliked, and because there’s no real left opposition

        If you’re referring to Bernie, I had an “oh shit!” moment in 2016 when I realized he was “that guy” I’d always see in random documentaries where they’d have some segment on Congress and how they relate to the topic of the documentary. He was always on the “right” (morally correct) side of the argument, that’s when I knew he was good stuff lol
