Bonus:

Pretty sure everyone of these people suck

I’m picking the only anti-anti-semitism candidate:

Adam friedland

Just imagining the absolute bile that Fox News would be spewing about a President Ocasio-Cortez. We would be seeing levels of racism, misogyny and classism previously thought impossible.

No Hillary? :19::84:

Write in “Dark Money” and then we can impeach them once elected and finally get Dark Moneyout of politics

Please forward me the survey so I can respond “Kamala Harris”

These people will fight fascism

List of people who enable and collaborate with fascism

Luigi Mangione

So they are trying to position themselves as the "only acceptable way to fight Fascism" which in good controlled opposition fashion means they'll just happily capitulate to it. Wild looking at how liberals enable fascism in real time. Really makes you feel like a part of history.

There is only one proven candidate who can beat a trump in the battle box

Someone else

Anyone else

Careful now, that's how you get Hillary again.

Yeah step away from the lathe damnit

Chelsea has the lathe now, anyway

responding to all of these with "Hasan Piker" as a bit

Piker/that school shooting survivor who they drummed out because he was slightly to the left of someone with more power.

Hasan Piker is the compromise candidate

Punished Bernie 2028 write-in campaign

I'm writing in Mecha-Bernie in case he's dead by then

Smh they forgot to include the one and only:

My vote is for Terd Ferguson.

While I'm sure some of these candidates have the potential to unleash chaos and suffering on an objectively comparable scale to their counterparts across the aisle, the real question is: do any of them really possess the fire to excite the blood-thirst of today's donors?

let harris lose again

Relatives have told me they want her to run again, and every time they mention it, I ask "Why, do you really want to watch her lose that badly?"

I'm actually pretty stoked about Someone Else coming back for another shot.

So fucking cooked

AOC will be popular with non-hexbear reading libs.

It's true, however liberals having "Hasan is saying that he wouldn't vote for Newsom" and "Should we preemptively ban anti-imperialism and anti-zionism from the party?" struggle sessions a full two years out is a good sign.

Usually nobody says anything remotely progressive (like "Bernie Sanders will beat Trump, Hillary Clinton will lose to Trump" until the primaries are on, and the liberals rally around "actually only [establishment candidate] is electable right now, this is the most important election of our lifetimes and there's no time to figure out anything better", but they dont have that option right now.

I remember getting into "accelerationism" vs. "incrementalism" discussions back on reddit. Obviously my understanding has gone well past that terminology, but it is interesting to see it play out with Trump just ramming the "decline" lever on the economy as hard as he can. Remember that 60% of dumbass Americans agree that the war makes no sense, I think even more side with Palestine (iirc?). Gotta get those numbers up ofc, but the archaic liberal order is literally 70 years behind the times on a good day. It stopped advancing under the 70s neoliberalism when ot was forced to sell itself to Wall Street.

I think we have hit "peak lib" and it will be less and less popular from here on out. I hope everyone is out there doing some sort of praxis right now, there is going to be a lot of momentum to the left soon, and those of us who stand for a brighter future need to be guiding that along as much as possible. Obviously needs to be come sort of "revolutionary" future, but who tf knows how that is going to look in the core-of-the-core. We on the left should be ready for all possibilities. I don't think it will be possible for any power to become what the US is under neoliberalism (1970-~2030s). After this decline, it's socialism or it's barbarism. Socialism will win, but it is a question of how much barbarism will happen along the way.

These texts are relentless. And there is no way the stop2text bs works. Sometimes I just send profanity laden all caps messages in reply. Maybe a human reads them, maybe not. Either way, it's cathartic.

I've taken to calling their mother names, or directly insulting the candidate. I've been unsubscribed from actblue, and a couple repub lists this way. 'Stop' doesn't seem to work. Childish behavior and expletives seems to do it tho.

Yeah I got removed from an anti-choice maga list I somehow got on by replying their family is disgusted by them, they’re a disgrace to humanity, and this is why no one visits lol. Struck too close to home apparently.

I've been getting a lot fewer texts since I told some of them that I'd donate $20 to the Trump campaign for each message I recieved

this has been my default response to just about anything anymore.. some day it is going to cause me trouble, but it is quite cathartic

It's extremely cathartic. I'll directly insult the candidate in question, or sometimes just tell them to have sex w a horse.

Horses do not deserve this

true. ive seen my mistakes.
