That "or" is doing some serious heavy lifting.
I might buy a new television or an automobile.

MODERATORS
I’m writing an 800 page scientific paper on quantum mechanics or I’m taking a shit
Will there be elections?
Please no president. Senate is ok.
America has shown it can't handle a woman, much less woman of color, much less young, much less progressive. The DNC just needs a straight white man who is decently progressive but appears to be moderate on stuff. All of this to say: Tim Walz please.
Probably Senate to primary Schumer. That would be the only logical move.
Schumer is a spineless AIPAC sellout. Easily one of the main reasons why the Democratic Party is so disliked.
I think everyone can agree: Fuck Chuck Schumer, he has to go.
New York can do better than Schumer. The toughest part is all the money and endless positive press that sellouts get.
Congratulations for scapegoating women rather than addressing any of the other more meaningful commonalities between Clinton and Harris.
People don’t really care about identity politics as much as the politicians do
The sexism even more disgusting when compounded with the hypocrisy: centrists smeared Sanders in 2020 by claiming he said women can't win.
Now that they don't want a particular woman to run, they'll scream that sexist garbage like it's gospel.
I'm talking about the moderate conservatives who hate Trump, and maybe aren't too involved in politics. They are more traditional but would vote for progressive policies if they were packaged correctly. It's a sad state of the country, but with Newsmax and Fox brainwashing people, that's the only winning strategy.

They. Will. Never. Vote. For. A. Democrat. You're alienating your base in order to chase a bunch of nazis to the right.
You can't say you want someone who is "decently progressive" and then pretend we can't nominate a woman because we don't want to turn off moderate conservatives. It's nonsensical.
Her gender wasn't even a serious line of attack during the campaign and she went so hard to the center she was losing votes in the cities, the core source of Democratic votes.
It's not what I want. It's what the non-MAGA moderates would vote for.
Senate is a safer bet, and Shmucker needs to go.
What, as a “government in exile” kind of thing?
She won't win. The right will never vote for her because they see her as far left, and the far left will never support her because they she's not "pure" enough for them. The only people who will vote for her are people who lean moderately to the left which make up somewhere around 1/3 of voters.
In before the delusional naive tell us how she’s going to save the day.
Do people in the US not realise there won’t be any more fair elections? A coup is unfolding by white supremacists and you’re all like “here, look, the brown female chick will right the ship”.
Go to the history section of a library before they burn them down.
Came here to say this. Look prople, Trump bragged that is we elected him, it would be the last time we needed to vote. We need to start believing him when he says things. There will be no 2028 election. Look how much he's already broken, and he has 3 more years to finish breaking our democracy.
There will be elections probably, the same way Russia or North Korea do "elections"
Fuck off doomer.
A point well argued with merit and substance. Perhaps you want to become a master debater?
Elections in the US are never fair. They’re simply a contest of who gets the smartest lawyers and the most funding.
