“Moderate” Democrats sure love being on their knees.

    If he runs for president, he should run as a republican. At least he can pull the overton window towards the center more.

    Edit: corrected “overturn”

      He’s going to be out in front with every national media apparatus screaming “Electable” and “Do you want another four years of Trump?”

      No idea if he can win, but he’s got all the right friends to make it happen. A real Hillary Campaign for 2028.

        “Do you want another four years of Trump?”

        This presupposes a term-limited Trump would be on the ballot anyway. Yes, the anti-American traitors are trying to make that happen, but that doesn’t mean we should help them normalize it!

        If trump stays past his term I don’t think it’s due to elections. Like you’re not only suggesting that he will be on the ballot, but also Democrats will be cool with it?

        Can you just be honest and say you’re a fascist please? I’m so fucking sick of people twisting into any shape to say Democrats are essentially worse than Republicans.

          Random, but if you use gesture typing in heliboard, they’re trying to build their own open-source gesture library. You can help build it (and maybe improve the autocorrect to a degree). I think you go to settings, and there’s a tab for “gesture data gathering”.

            Yeah, I think I might be a little too old school. I can’t stand gesture writing. I always find it ultra confusing. Maybe caused by my dyslexia?

              Lol fair enough. My husband is the same, though not dyslexic. I can def imagine dyslexia would make it difficult though.

    “Regrets” his words after AIPAC privately showed him how easily they could crush him politically if he didn’t change course.

          The simple truth is if he’s an option in a primary, then I’d be voting for a better candidate.

          If he’s the Democratic option and my choice is him or voting for fascism, well, I’ll vote for him in a heartbeat. Because I don’t support fascism.

          But I’ll do what I can with my vote in the primary, first.

    Unless his reasoning is that it was just apartheid before and is full blown genocide now, he’s wrong. They’ve been running on apartheid my entire life.

    Seems like timing is a bit early to move to “center” for the general, Gavin, seeing as how we haven’t had 2028 presidential election primaries yet.
