"They will put up x candidates I dislike"

Vote in the fucking primaries then, holy shit. Make a progressive win the primaries for the love of God please

Back in the day, Abraham Lincoln did not vow to end slavery if elected.

Frederick Douglas worked for Lincoln, because Lincoln was the best candidate.

AOC might not want to be POTUS though? It’s odd how many people have decided this for her.

Well yeah: America Is a conservative, religious country. Always has been

Sadly, you are correct. Neither Kamala nor Gavin can win. But I'd prefer Kamala to Gavin, which is how bad Gavin is.

Y'all know there's still house and some Senate elections coming up next year right?

You know what would show America and the Democrats (and Republicans for that matter) that Americans are finally serious about a 3rd party candidate? Supporting and electing 3rd party candidates in the House and Senate.

Ok, I try to be polite, and I generally agree you don't win arguments by saying shitty things, but whoever downvoted this is either a bad actor or has rocks for brains. I'm sorry to be so crass, but it needed to be said.

If only there were elections being held between 2025 and 2028 with less at stake than a presidential election. That way Americans on the left and right could come together and prove to the establishment parties that they would actually show up to vote for a 3rd party candidate for a presidential election.

Oh shit! I'm a total klutz and I dropped this list of states with Governor and AG elections between 2025 and 2028

OH NO! I fumbled and spilled this list of 33 of the 100 six-year term (Jan 2027-2033) Senate seats up for election on Nov 3, 2026.

Fuck, I'm such a butterfingers! There goes the list of midterm elections also on Nov 3, 2026 where representatives from all 435 congressional districts across each of the 50 U.S. states, as well as five of the six non-voting delegates from the District of Columbia and the inhabited U.S. territories will be chosen.

It would be such a shame if angry Americans used this information to get involved in local politics and promoted ethical candidates who weren't purchased by a corporation ASAP

We all like AOC here on Lemmy, but are enough of the old ass "liberals" going to join us so she can actually get elected? Seems highly unlikely to be honest.

I'd love to see it happen though. That's what primaries are for. The Dems should try one of those. It's been a while.

The supervillains are still in charge thinking up ways to destroy anyone and anything opposing them to ensure the superiority of their greedoid ultraconservatism, while the supposedly "enlightened" people who are supposed to fight those bastards as a united front are instead fighting over recriminations, ideological rivalries, and supposed levels of moral purity.
