I'm one of those people who spent a lot of time cheer-leading the Democratic party and the Harris campaign before the election. I still think it was the right thing to do given the alternative. AND I still think that anyone who stayed home or voted for Trump is a moron. But now that the worst possible thing has come to pass and we're gonna have to spend the next couple of decades dealing with the consequences anyway: Fuck the Democrats. I'm done.
the only thing that matters to them is that you vote for them in 2028 and people will be calling you a moron for not falling in line.
I live in California. My vote doesn't count for sheeet.
not california; but i'm also in a blue state
i vote swapped so that i can vote 3rd party to give them the middle finger; it's not much, but it's the only thing i can do.
At least you can say you're the Dems ATM. I'm in Hawaii and they hadnt counted a single vote before the news just attributed all hawaiis electoral college votes to Harris. They were right, but come on. At least lie to me about my vote mattering.
Gavin Newsom 2028 here we come..
Newsom isn't the worst option but that's not saying much. He's basically a neocon in mildly progressive clothing when it's convenient for him. But Republicans have spent years vilifying him and disparaging California as some kind of socialist haven (I wish)... meaning he pretty much doesn't stand a chance. But I'm certain he will run.
Ughhhh
Newsom, Blinken, Shapiro, or Harris again. I bet they'll try to ram Blinken down our throats.
Good list, but I am afraid that there's at least a 10% chance that the nominee will be Liz Cheney (got to keep chasing those moderates)
