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.

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.
