The poll, released on May 30 by Atlas Intel, found Pete Buttigieg, the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, and former transportation secretary in the Biden administration, to be the top pick among Democrats who responded to the survey.

A total of 31.5% of self-identified Democrats who responded to the poll said they would vote for Buttigieg for president in four years, according to the poll.

Other surveys in May from firms such as Echelon Insights and McLaughlin & Associates have found Harris in first place in the hypothetical primary, making Atlas Intel’s poll stand out among the rest.

Harris is the third most popular pick among Democrats in the poll, falling behind U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.

American society has demonstrated, twice, that it prefers a mentally retarded duck to a woman, perhaps we should take note.

Those women were specific individuals with specific flaws.

While the man running against both women has no flaws, never lies, and is 6'3" 224lbs.

I'm not saying a woman cannot be president. I'm saying I don't have faith the American public will elect a female president at this point in time.

God I hate that this is true.

American society has demonstrated twice that it prefers a retarded duck to a neoliberal woman.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

And until neoliberals have another corpodem woman on their bench, women conveniently can't win.

They're holding back all women to stop one progressive woman.

Hey, remind me, what place did kamala get in the primary against Joe Biden in 2020? Oh wait, she dropped out because she was literally the most divisive and least popular candidate. Elizabeth Warren was like fucking 3rd. I still have her "billionaire tears" mug. Which was a strategy she was told to tone down because she was offending the rich donors.

Yes, the worst, most divisive female neoliberal warhawks lost. DNC candidates truly suck.

Dude, fuck off

Idk if you want this to be your mindset. It's dangerous and can lead to collapse. This is the start of a potential snowball into total mistrust of the society towards the government. Just look at this as an exception like your darkest days.
