    I’m in Arizona and was (still am, because absolutely fuck Kari Lake) planning on voting for Ruben. Hell, I was as excited to vote for Ruben as I am to vote for Kamala.

    This is extremely disappointing. They call it a shift to appeal to moderates and independents, but that just makes me question how fucked our politics are if someone like Ruben Gallego isn’t already considered a moderate. Kamala is a moderate, Walz is a moderate, our entire Democratic party is moderate.

    I’m so tired of bowing to right-wing fuckwits. I’m so tired of ceding ground at every damn opportunity. Human rights are not radical. Police reform is not radical. Workers’ rights are not radical. Do fucking better, Devil Dog.

      Yeah I agree, it’s encouraging for the short term, and I must emphasize that it is absolutely imperative that we defeat the GOP in this election over anything else.

      However it’s concerning to see the Dems tracking to the right inch by inch. We need to make sure we’re making allies on the left while we do elect Kamala, so that we have a stronger leftist coalition for the coming years.
