  • … our research finds that voters also withhold support for women candidates because they perceive practical barriers to women successfully attaining political leadership positions. We find that providing Democratic primary voters with evidence that women earn as much electoral support as men in US general elections increased intentions to vote for women candidates

    This is supporting what others are saying, that this is a perceived weakness on women. The article you linked provides evidence that women DO earn electoral support, the sentiment that you’re sharing here is that this is just a big NO for women, when it’s proving the opposite, as the other person said you’re removing all the nuance and specifics of the links you’re sharing




  • very shortsighted. I blame the DNC running Biden for far too long and then lying to their base about why Kamala lost. It’s very obvious that Kamala would have been 100% more competent than Trump. She should have won in a landslide, & I’m from Minnesota where she did win. She just didn’t distance herself from the growing unpopular and conservative tint that Biden started really showing especially after/regarding October 7th /israel.

    What I’ve also been wondering about this; Hasn’t AOC also said she doesn’t really want to run for president, is there anyone with some knowledge that can point me to that or was I making that up? I could swear I remember something about her seeing congress as her long term thing as she sees it as more strategic?

    furry anarchist

    Is there any contradiction between the hierarchy inherent in the animal kingdom vs furry anarchist politics? Like, does a cell of cats have to give up their blood lust for the cell of mice, birds, baby rabbits, etc. or is the hierarchy already abolished, for example they’re all vegans to avoid inter-class cannibalism?

    I would love to read on the subject , preferably by someone who’s soul identifies with a Dog because I’m a cat person and I know what kind of vindictive fucks cats are. Is that offensive in furry anarchist cells? I’m new to this




  • And this is what, your attempt to make me feel like a loser? To make yourself not feel like one? I won’t move on, the DNC and liberals are trying to move on from their failures. Failure to codify roe v wade, failure to secure large scale legislation on free healthcare and schooling, failed on taxing the rich (even locally for me, mind you. Intact democrats locally, bipartisan are letting the richest inhabitants not pay taxes on new businesses and hotels). So even if I change one persons mind on holding the DNC accountable I win in my book. Please don’t shut your eyes to the lies the DNC is telling you. Make them earn our fucking votes for fucks sake. And then go outside.





  • My point is that voting is the very very beginning of your political responsibility as a leftist. There is a lot more to do. And no I don’t mean financially support, I mean organization and community outreach. This should really be seen as something you do first and regardless of who is president. Donate money to your local food shelf if you can, & I mean every month.

    Also don’t take what I say too seriously I’m just one guy, I just get annoyed when people bring up establishment democrats and act like if they were president all this would be better. My only gripe is with that rhetoric. You should be doing way more than voting. Like, yesterday.


  • Explain to me why I should vote for politicians sending billions to Israel, a genocidal country, when our country and our sovereign rights are literally eroding at home. I’ll wait. I vote for democrats every chance I get. Midterms and all.

    Tell me, when I see the governor of my state running for VP (A man who’s campaign I supported btw) and he says on TV that he’ll “preemptively strike Iran” and his running mate, the current vice president of the country, saying we need to have the “strongest military force in the world” I’m supposed to support that? While democrats fund a genocide? Forget being worse in Gaza than Biden, Biden and his admin still destroyed the city and laughed about it to voters. They killed tens of thousands.

    You really think young voters see that, see them touting around fucking DICK CHENEYS DAUGHTER, the Cheney family being one of the most evil families in my lifetime (look up the Wikipedia page for Halliburton Oil Company to get a start).

    Seriously I have no interest in the “lesser evils” because everyone is lesser evil than Trump. That’s the most obvious to everyone but fascists. You can’t convince me that Imperial exploitation and genocide and war is ok if it’s not Trump in office doing it. Insult me all you want, doesn’t change reality.



  • Our leadership, both DNC and especially republican, has failed us as a people. Capitalism has failed us. It’s a disgusting look in the mirror, but we have to realize this is the USA working exactly as intended. Capitalism in America, brought on by genocide and slaughter, was always intended to go this way. We are in 1930s capitalist Germany, for all intents and purposes. When shit hits the fan, and I’m starting to believe it really will, it’ll be up to us and our neighbors to pick up the pieces together. The DNC has abandoned the people in favor of right wing Neo liberal imperialism abroad and at home. It’s time to abandon them so we can attack fascism at its roots, not just the emboldened Trump admin. It goes way deeper than that, unfortunately.
