There's two choices in this election:
The one who will fix our broken immigration system and the one who's trying to stop her.
These democrats today, are just a little strange, you know? Like, they say they're part of the "left" but then do this appeal to the right. It's just a little weird, you know? Like what is it, are we a country of immigrants, or do we just want to rack up cops on the border to shoot them all dead?
Most braindead, easiest two term president ever (and maybe even repeal the amendment capping terms... who knows):
Openly tell Joe to force Bibi to sign a ceasefire agreement. In the meantime, start openly speaking with the UN to figure out how to enforce some sort of international peacekeeping thing in Palestine broadly speaking (including Israel if unclear)
Promise to name and shame senators and representatives and personally pressure them using all means possible to get a medicare for all bill done. Throw Manchin under the bus as an appetizer and throw Biden under the bus for being a pussy.
Promise to name and shame and use all pressures possible including arrests to force through a nationalization of fossil fuels and immediate drawn down of their production with a simultaneous build up of solar and other non-fossil fuels.
Promise to day one immediately begin negotiations with all the nations that have US bases in them currently to begin the process of pulling troops from the countries and handing the bases back. Set a hard goal of 50% of all overseas bases fully evacuated of US troops within the first term
All of this stuff directly benefits normal, working Americans and only harms the capitalist and political class. But if you betray the capitalists well you basically set yourself up to be a god in your own time or get your head blown off. And honestly, just in my opinion, if you aren't aiming for one of those goals as the leader of a bourgeois democracy... I don't want you leading it. The right wingers love Trump in part because he LIES about half of this shit. Imagine if someone from the left (obv not gonna be Kamala, although she had and is squandering a chance at being revered forever in the US) got in and actually did that shit that basically all Americans are on board with or would be on board with once it was done.
Well maybe if I keep dreaming about it I'll get to live it... in the moments immediately preceding my death, right before my asshole finally gives out and poo fills my shorts, I can live in a sane country.

You'd have a week at most after promising this one. Probably just a day or two.
Nah, you don’t understand so many Dems out there. There’s some wild Democrats who think the party is already far too left for them, that think that Palestinians are the ones who want genocide against Israelis, that the poors are getting too uppity. Way too many ‘moderate Dems’ out there to break the party should they push to left.
Man it was such a good idea to concede to republican rhetoric for the thousandth time because you were scared you’d look weak (they’re always gonna call you weak no matter what you do )
they keep doing this psycho shit , bragging about brutalizing immigrants to try to get Pennsylvania, and all it's doing is pissing off their base in Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico and Colorado.
In 2032 the Dem candidate is going to be bragging about how they supported automatic turret emplacements all along the wall and a train that automatically refills them (Factorio style) and the Republican incumbent will be promising that the highway to allow trucks to carry ammunition to the automatic turrets is the greatest highway ever built (it will be a functionless pile of concrete in the desert) and Tesla will have the contracts for both the ammo-loading train and the ammo-loading trucks (they will be vaporware, the actual reloading will be done by undocumented immigrants working for a contracting company).
yes, it's a room full of cops, and if they start shaking and crying and shidding and farding, that means you set it off and the hysterical cops have to search you
There was a whole bit at the Trump/Biden debate where they started shouting about "the machines" (Biden) and "a certain dog" (Trump). I'm honestly shocked to learn the machines are real. Whether they work is another question, I suppose.
You.. yo.u....all don't get it, if trump is in office there will be no rights or democracy. Imagine what trump wud do huh. Are you really throwing all the poc folk, lgbtq folk under the bus by supporting trump.
I fucking hate it, but if you're a dem shitheel that your entire base will still vote for you blue no matter who, this is probably a decent triangulation effort to peel off "moderate Republicans." If you stand for nothing and intend to improve nothing if elected and only care about improving your odds in swing states, why wouldn't you do some bullshit like this? A bunch of the American left that exists beyond being "gettable" for the Dems were never going to vote for them anyway regardless, and the ones who could will enivatably rationalize it as harm reduction somehow. The main Dem base never really gave a shit to begin with and were perfectly happy boosting a senile fossil supporting a genocide, and now they're ecstatic about getting to vote for a candidate that's not clinically demented that's a mixed race woman of color with functionally identical politics to the guy that eulogized Strom Thurmond. In conclusion,
If it had worked I'd expect 30 years of unopposed dem hegemony, and the fact that they're barely scraping by against a historically unpopular candidate suggests it has not. After all, to a nazi, why vote for 99% Hitler when 100% Hitler is right there?
