The Hillarycrats Ride Again!

Maybe finally people will start getting it in their heads that the current Democratic party - aside from the obvious outliers, Bernie, AOC, Warren etc - is not acting in their best interests...

Democrats are clearly unwilling to do anything to fix the problems we have.

Is a primary not "Democrats ... [coming] together and [deciding] to support whichever candidate has the most support among them?"

From March 2010

"Already caught up in a scandal involving a close aide, embattled New York Governor David Paterson was charged on Wednesday by the state's ethics watchdog for unlawfully taking free baseball tickets to the 2009 World Series.

The charge came days after Paterson ditched his short-lived campaign for a new term in office following revelations that he and state police had spoken with a woman who accused a top governor's aide, David Johnson, of assault last year.

After speaking with Paterson, the woman failed to appear in court and her case was dismissed, according to The New York Times, which first reported the story."

Not only does the destroyer have a funding plan for his policies,

If anyone ever tells me I need to support the democrat candidate blue no matter who they get a slap in the face.

The "lesser-evil" party. The lesser part maybe true but so is the evil part.

By this guys logic shouldn’t he be supporting the winner of the primary and admonishing those who say they will vote 3rd party instead of the other way around?

Perfect. Given how unpopular the Democratic party is at the moment, this must have positive effect for Mamdani.

Did he delete this I can't find it?

Edit: never mind I found it. I swear Twitter used to be so much easier to use and whatever this fucking thing is now is a soup of bullshit in the wrong order.
