  • Dems gonna Dem

    Jump

  • I vote third party for every level cause where I live the only major party capable of winning is conservatives. Looking at the numbers, even if every single third party voter voted Dem, they'd still be 300-500k short or more to beat the conservative option. So voting for Dems here is literally no different than voting third party. Hell if they were even just 50k short of beating the Conservative party I'd start voting and supporting them, but there's literally no point.

  • There are candidates I align with pretty much 99.99999)% with (and that's only because I probably haven't found the 1 thing I disagree with). I vote for those people and then get yelled at for doing so. Why? Cause they're third party. Claudia de la Cruz last year was my dream candidate. I'd bulldoze mountains to get her in the White House. However, she ran for the PSL party and not the DNC so I constantly got called a Trump supporter for supporting her.

  • I don't see it much on here, but they're everywhere on Bluesky. You can search Newsom's name and the first result will probably be someone talking shit about him with tons of comments and quote posts telling them they're just trying to get Trump to win a third term.

  • Depends on where you live. Here in Missouri, you just tell them which primary ballot you want when you go to vote. I've voted for both sides (Democrat primary in 2016 and Conservative primary in 2020 since Missouri will never go blue so might as well attempt to get the least dogshit option for the Dems to weakly fight against).

  • Libs are too chicken shit to do that. They'd rather just harass anyone with the mindset of "earn my vote or you don't get it".

  • Look at the numbers of the last election. In the Senate race, Kunce (who was actively advertising himself as a conservative running on the Dem ticket) would have needed every third party vote plus an additional 331,000 votes to beat Hawley. Why would the people here want conservative light when they can have the full thing?

    Harris would have needed every third party vote plus an additional 508,000 votes. Again someone that was trying to win over the "moderate conservative" by partying with Republicans on stage in an awful attempt at "bipartisanship". Showcasing again people here don't want conservative light. Plus, as someone who worked with the public at the time and was constantly told people's political opinions when I didn't't want to know, they all saw her as a socialist/communist even with all the surrendering she did to the conservative party. Literally would have lost nothing in the public eye if she had gone full progressive instead of "moderate conservative".

    The people I talk to who don't vote, even the ones that probably would have voted conservative if they did, don't have any faith in our current system representing them. These random people I worked with or dealt with at work who, as far as I'm aware, aren't terminally online want someone who would actually represent them. Internet libs can screech about leftists "purity testing", but that's how the average person works also. They don't like their options and know that Missouri has been red for 30 years, so why bother when the decision is made for them.

  • Nah i'm done playing this no sensical game. If I vote, it's for PSL and any other third party option. Not like voting for a Dem in my state of Missouri will do anything so might as well vote for who I actually want to support and stop doing the "hold your nose and vote for the slightly less bigoted fascist".

  • Because it doesn't support Democrats and anything that doesn't support them must be supporting MAGA. Politics is black and white like that.

  • Gavin Newsom is Not a Progressive

  • Not to mention the homeless considering he personally went out of his way to destroy the few things they own.

  • Going to love it when he wins despite them.

    Jump

  • You all always blame leftists as if Dems can do no wrong and are allowed to do whatever they want? Newsom attacks homeless people, talks shit about trans people, and platforms fascists on his podcast? That's fine cause he's not running as a conservative and said some mean things about Trump on Twitter. Anyone who expects more from them is just purity testing and will never be satisfied.

  • Brutalist having an intermission was so nice and made me realize how much I'd love more movies to have this. Sadly I don't think we'll see this being done more as that little extra time probably cuts into the amount of showings you can do in a day.

  • Yeah and a lot of leftists aren't going to hold their nose and vote for any form of light conservatism just because it's "the lesser of two evils". They're either going to vote third party or not vote at all. So the DNC can either shut down and stop getting in everyone's way or start trying to appeal to leftists instead of the mythical "moderate conservative".

  • My brother in Christ leftists weren't even in this primary. Ffs one of the options was a damn antivaxer. Are you really gonna say the DNC would be accepting of actual leftists when they seem more fine having an antivaxer represent them? Actual leftists were running third party like the PSL party with Claudia de la Cruz or getting thrown out of every public Dem appearance for demanding them to speak against Israel and stand up for Palestinians. At the very least allow for someone from Palestine to speak on stage at a conference in front of the public, but that was asking too much.
