If the Democrats cared so much, why isn't he the presidential candidate? He's only on the ticket to legitimise Kamala to "progressives", he's going to be sidelined if she's elected.
What alternative would you prefer?
They just gave you one for instance — him or someone with similar positions could have been the presumptive nominee back in March.
Obviously, communism is a better alternative to anything electoralism is going to provide.
Yes, for a US politician, this is probably about as good as you get. That is a massive caveat though and it's our job to remind people that.
Always the same, smug fuckin' response. None of this. None of this at all. More riots that Tim Walz crushed with his national guard dogs would be preferable; just without Walz or the national guard. Sporadic springs and uprisings against the police state brutally murdering people without justice. That would be preferable as an alternative, actually. The best alternative would be more people organizing.
Oooooh, you mean what would we prefer if we were forced to play the electoral game? I dunno, whatever one the electoral college or DNC picks for us!
