      Do you think a political party that actively and willfully prepares an opponent for the current elected head of state that belongs to their party could survive for any length of time?

      Of course, it’s worse than that. They clearly want Harris 2028.

        Competitive primaries are a feature of any organization democratic enough (in the philosophical sense, not the “Democratic Party” sense). As long as you don’t actively fight for the leadership of the Democratic Party, they are going to continue screwing you and ignore any political demand that isn’t timid enough. Just my two cents as an European.

        You people always let the mask slip when you mention Harris. You just can’t stand a Black woman being that close to the Presidency.

            They always could argue against Harris. She’s got some pretty big skeletons in her closet. But they never do. It’s always

            “Wait, why is Harris bad?”

            “Oh, you know

            Or you get the vague “unlikeable” stuff. They don’t know a damn thing about Harris, but they hate her guts with a passion anyways.

          I can’t stand my party running a tough on crime prosecutor. Harris is an awful pick for high office and her unremarkable term as VP speaks volumes about how many policy decisions she genuinely has strong feelings about. She’s milquetoast, uninspiring, and would likely cost us another election.

          Fuck off with assuming that everyone who disagrees with you does so simply because of gender or race.
