tfw there is a sizeable portion of users here who believe appealing to libs and political norms is important for the social democrats

I mean it depends on what you mean.

It's awful if AOC compromises on Abolish ICE or M4A. But I think if she says "Condolences to the McCain's", I don't think that that is the end of the world, even if we would rather she didn't.

It wasn't just condolences, they both praised the man.

aJakalope•

And yeah, in an ideal world they wouldn't. But if praising a dead man helps gain any voters and helps actually end ICE, get people healthcare and a living wage, I'd say that's worth it.

That being said, I'm not sure that praising McCain actually gets her any voters.

It definitely didn’t gain her any voters, and it alienated a lot of the left who don’t think she’s perfect but we’re still willing to rally behind her. Look, she still has a comparatively great platform, but I’m not really going out of my way to show support for her if she’s going to call warmongers “unparalleled examples of dignity”.

She lost my enthusiasm, not my support. Was it worth it?

I would fellate McCain's corpse if it meant M4A and ICE abolished tomorrow. Anyone who disagrees is just as caught up in norms and customs as the libs, just not based in the same values.

Who cares. Anti civility is just as much empty aesthetic posturing as civility.

Let's have a moment of silence for the Democratic centrist narrative (1972 - 2018).

okay but then again there are some users who unironically think Stalin did nothing wrong.

this will be literally true in a couple decades when the florida coastlines are underwater tho

That's when the coastal types colonize the interior and chuds learn what it's like to be colonized.

I already have my eye on a few properties in north Florida with magnitude 1 freshwater springs. Easy pickings and would be easy to hold. Only problem is the aquifer potentially being ruined by saltwater intrusion, but if that’s the case we’re all dead anyway, so whatever.

lake city area is affordable af for sure. Mississippi is even cheaper tho, and then your plot could be 45 minutes from new orleans.

That would be a WEIRD conflict.

Rural people are already well aware of that.

Not to mention the millions of truly desperate and displaced coming over in rafts and living in tent cities.

Trump's gonna pass emergency aid package to shore up Florida Keys, Mar a Lago, and a few key areas in the barrier island properties for 200 years.

misterscientistmanLGBTSickle•

I'm from Florida and honestly I'm still very skeptical about Gillum's chances of winning, but then again the area I'm from is a pretty rural conservative piss-ant town so maybe my perception has just been distorted and other counties will show out.

edit: spelling

eh well im from one of the hell golf/beach suburbs and id say no too, i guess there's always tampa, orlando, and miami

There’s a decent poc population in a lot of the smaller coastal cities as well. He’s just gotta mobilize non white voters and get the white old ones to stay home.

My question is whether Gilliams will do any worse than a more centrist dem?

Look at this dystopian shit.

Ron DeSantis played this and won. What the actual hell.

silkroad_throwaway•

will this extremely normal shit actually play well with undecided voters?

5
zieleixContrapoints•

I realize we are hypernormalized but I hope this isn't the new normal.

And honestly I think it panders to his republican base, I don't think it'll convince undecided voters. It just has to be less bad to them than a Bernie candidate tho.

What if the proportion of 'voted for Graham in the primary, but not Gillum in the general' is higher than 'voted for Bernie in the primary but not Clinton in the general.'

What is the equivalent word for "bernie bro" in relation to centrists? Do we just cancel the Democratic party?

I love how they think it's "expected" for progressives to unseat powerful corporate incumbents in the city that is literally home to Wall Street.

Don’t Wall Street types live in Manhattan though? I was under the impression that that is very different than Brooklyn

They’ll just keep moving the state. That’s what Perez meant when he said “California, Wisconsin, Nevada, Texas, Idaho, West Virginia...”

Democratic socialism might work in other countries, but in America you have to move to the center.

Democratic socialism might work in Brooklyn, but in Florida you have to move to the center.

Democratic socialism might work in Brooklyn and Florida, but in the Bay Area you have to move to the center.

Democratic socialism might work in Brooklyn, Florida, and the Bay Area, but in the Midwest, you have to move to the center...
