The first step for the candidates running in next year’s California Senate race is to quietly try to spook newly appointed Sen. Laphonza Butler into not running at all.

This is true only if you’re stuck inside the Twitter bubble and refuse to step outside into real life
I think you’re confusing me for you because:
I’m not a Twitter / X user
I actually understand the state of American politics, and accept the reality that pandering to normie/centrist/independent political ideology is what wins elections
I care more about moving this country forward than virtue signaling about having a female president
I understand how uncharismatic and unpopular Kamala Harris was/is/will continue to be
I actually cannot understand how someone could be so blind to reality. Hillary Clinton already tried to play queen maker on her own behalf while being a historically unpopular candidate because she thought she was OWED her turn in line.
In the process she propped up Donald Trump as a spoiler candidate, rigged the DNC against Bernie Sanders, and fucked this country into the timeline we have been stuck in for the last (almost) decade.
I’m not laughing because I know this brand of identity politics camouflaged as faux progressivism leads to failure. I care about political results in the real world, and if you think I’m the one in the bubble you need to wake up and smell the napalm.
I wasn’t referring specifically to you but I also can’t take you seriously with that absurd “rigged the DNC” nonsense. You sound like trump.
Oh, sick burn 🔥 You really showed me with that zinger ☠️
Just because Donald Trump is an authoritarian asshole doesn’t mean that he can’t also call a spade a spade when it suits his interests. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in a while.
Now for the rest of the people who need a refresher course on the 2016 election, here are some either liberal leaning or non-partisan sources to back up the claim that the Clinton campaign was definitely manipulating the DNC via Debbie Wasserman-Schultz as well as other means as far back as 2015.

Lastly:
Yes you fucking were, but you clearly lack the courage of your convictions. Which, quite frankly, I find to be in no way surprising.
