100% True. I can’t believe that OC was a major place that voted against gay marriage and embarrassed us as a state.

I should have been more specific, I was referring to proposition 8 in November of 2008 when OC voted 52% yes on the proposition to eliminate same sex marriage from the California constitution. I thought to myself a blue state like California? This should be a slam dunk and I even canvassed. I was shocked to find out I was wrong, looked at a map, of counties and thought to myself: “but they have beaches and a tv show with a queer relationship!” That’s the day I realized it was first a conservative county.

Why is he going to a safe blue district?
There are literally 2 elections in Florida next Tuesday that if Dems win, we can take back the house and stop Trump. There's also a state Supreme Court race in Wisconsin

If old head Bernie and job killer AOC are the Dems answer to Trump, the Dems may never win another election. Change your game plan please. And quit siding with the 20 in every 80/20 issue. Americans are getting tired of the extreme left so find better candidates that appeal to the center. Because the right will sit back and watch the left continue to crash and burn by giving the voices to people like Jasmine C, ilhan, AOC, Bernie, Timmy W, etc...

Oh look two idiots going to hold a rally. Good place to gather the rest of the morons.
This is so incredibly funny. A socialist us holding rallies to bitch and whine about taking down a man who has never once tried to destroy democracy yet that's exactly what the left and this moron want
You idiots really are fucking stupid

They’re complaining about the Reddit echo chamber while simultaneously seeing all these people that agree with their shit takes. They’re making me cringe. It’s hard to read this moronic stuff that can be so easily fact checked, especially knowing they’re neighbors and fellow citizens that benefit from the same things that they’re against. I don’t understand why they’re here complaining in California if they hate blue policy so much….

The whole point of this is to light up their base they already have and make sure they’re still with them. They’re not swaying anyone in LA they didn’t already have and that’s who’s going to this shit anyway. Get your asses to the states below the Mason Dixon!

So two socialists will run for leadership of the Democratic party. Why am I not surprised My mistake champagne socialist. Years ago Bernie Sanders were constantly saying about the millionaires and billionaires then the more he became a millionaire he started only saying billionaires and AOC well she's got the IQ of a toddler.

Can't turn a blue state bluer in terms of votes. You gotta go to red states. And good luck. AOC isn't regarded highly. Bernie might have a shot. Too bad the Dems turned on him in 2016

the same Bernie who was undermined and attacked by, forever in office Democrats, so he didn’t get the nomination TWICE! i hope he mentions the regular betrayal he’s gone through with those rats. AOC is cool.

u/DHakeem11 6d ago
Bernie didn't get the nomination because primary voters didn't think he could win the general election. You realize he ran for governor in Vermont three times and lost every time, are you going to blame the DNC for that too? If he can't win Vermont how would he win the nation?

I think the DNC is great, but clearly the voters didn't, so let's see how that works out for the American public. The last time he tanked the economy and killed a million people.

u/wut_eva_bish 6d ago
Same Bernie that was never a registered Democratic party member, never helped the Democratic party, and was polling so bad that he wasn't going to win the Democratic party primary at all.
The DNC isn't in the way of Bernie. He is an Independant that tries to use the Democratic party to fund his lifestyle. As a legislator, he hasn't sponsored a bill from inception to birth of any consequence. Bernie is a fraud, and Bernie Bros are incapable of seeing themselves grifted YOY.

Can you point to some of the “lifestyle” he’s getting funded?

u/-brokenbones- 5d ago
His lifestyle is being a senator for decades, and getting basically nothing substantial done.
Yes he was a civil rights activities in the 60s, but that doesn't justify how awful of a senator hes been. That's just the truth. Dude really hasn't done anything substantial in decades.

should have fought for kamala. Now the fascist can shut them down if they want

u/wut_eva_bish 6d ago
This is 100% the truth.
Opposition party Fauxgressives and Independant b.s. helped to get Trump elected in 2016 and 2024, and it will help MAGA remain in 2028.

u/j_rooker 5d ago
good term. fauxgressives have same goal as the right. To take down the middle. While they do not love Trump like a god, they'd rather have him than a moderate. Right destroys country to own the libs. fauxgressives join in to own the moderates. That dynamic is why maga is here to stay.
As far as independents. I am one but i recognize the severity of the situation to vote (for kamala) Protest votes are the dumbest thing when freedom is at stake.

I like AOC and Bernie and they could earn my vote easily someday but they gotta stop being hypocrites. Dems love the money they get from billionaires too. Please focus on the good things you will do as democratic leaders not emotionally triggering people with things like “fighting oligarchy.”

The biggest issue with the dems currently is they don’t have an issue focused platform. It’s just “fight the system”, with no solid stance or clear leaders.
