Now that people are talking about a progressive woman running, women can’t win. Until such time as Harris announces her candidacy for 2028, then we all must get in line to vote for genocide again.
We weren’t given a choice in the matter when Harris was running. I wanted a primary but didn’t get it. I had the same sentiment when it was rumored Harris would be the nomination. When it was official, I unenthusiastically supported her campaign and put aside my pessimism to avoid another Trump presidency.
If you’re complaining that you didn’t get a second primary when Biden dropped out, then maybe it would interest you that legally no one but Harris could have taken the significant war chest that the Biden/Harris campaign had on hand. Furthermore, as a term of the deal for Biden to drop out, Harris was not allowed to deviate from ANY of Biden’s positions. This is why she had so much trouble with questions about the genocide. She was not allowed to answer the way she wanted to.
Mature people who understand the political system in the US understand that primaries are where you vote your values, general elections are where you vote for least harm/best outcome of severely limited choices.
If you’re not voting in local elections and primaries and pushing your values hard, you are failing at democracy.

Harris won no primaries. Until the party starts running honest primaries, or indeed has them at all in the presidential race, this is just gloating that the party forced a genocidal piece of shit on the voters without their permission.

I voted in my local runoff yesterday morning. Stop lecturing if you ever figure out how.

And she’s not running now so I’ll appreciate it if you don’t try to pre-emptively lecture me about how I need to vote for genocide again.
