A better title would be:
RFK Jr. can't win. But he and Cornel West could make Biden lose the White House.
If Biden loses it will be because of Biden and his 4 years of doing absolutely nothing and not getting anything he promised In to law. Also the genocide. As shitty as it sounds people can overlook the genocide if Biden was actually improving people's lives but they are only getting worse under his presidency.
Yeah keep blaming everything except the fact that Biden has assumed dig shit policies since last summer.
And getting Trump back in the WH is the answer to that?
You know this straw-man you've committed to is losing us the election, don't you?
Look at the polling, look at the primaries. Biden has to do better on his own merit. Trump being bad is Trumps issue, not something that will get Biden elected.
This insistence from the neo-liberal wing of the Democratic party that this is how to run a campaign has basically handed the election to Trump. Stop it. Stop giving the election away. Do better.
Same song and dance from the 2 party machine. The way the political system is. This isnt democracy and I'd rather see trump elected purely so he can implode the system. And it'd be entirely the democrats own fault for falling into complete corruption and ineffectuality. Biden is bank rolling and arming a genocide, hes been nothing but a puppet president his entire term and the democratic party has become a corrupt oligarchy just the same as the republicans. This 2 party system is given power only by the willing consent and active participation of the american people. And I think its time that the american people said enough is enough and abolished the two existing political parties completely so that we can form a functional democracy instead of this corporate klepto clown show.
RFK isnt a perfect candidate but hes the best political candidate iv seen run for officeoin my lifetime.
The problem is the people running the DNC
At some point, we're going to have to make an actual left wing party. Because the only thing the national DNC cares about is money
They don't even know how to spend it effectively when they get it.
Socialist Party of America, Socialist Alternative, The Communist Party of the USA, and plenty others have been trying to run left of the Democratic Party for a century, it won't work in a FPTP voting system, converting the Democrats into a Socialist party would literally be easier.
If you want a left wing party other than the Dems, you're gonna have to change FPTP first.
converting the Democrats into a Socialist party would literally be easier.
They're a private organization...
They'll keep doing whatever they want without changing as long as people keep voting for him.
The only thing the DNC has that a different private party wouldn't is momentum.
If they just gonna keep following the rnc, we have no choice but acknowledging we were abandoned long ago already
