Viewing from a broader lens: this race, California's Gov race, DC's Mayoral race, Michigan's senate race, and several others this cycle are the byproduct of a feeble, historically weak Democratic Party

The Party itself has no ability to constrain people from becoming candidates who are not likely to win and do not help the Party or help oppose fascism in any way. The Party couldn't prevent California from becoming a giant $$$$$$$$ suck, and didn't get a lockout in the Gov. race because dozens of dipshits "threw their hats in the ring."

Weak parties suck! Anybody who whined about the DNC in 2016? This is what you get. This is what no guiding hand looks like. A Fuck Thanksgiving gubernatorial candidate in Wisconsin, a Fuck Mackinac Island candidate in Michigan, Tom Steyer spending $215 million to get 23% of the vote and not make a runoff, et.

        normie people think Dems want men in women's bathrooms, scholarships, and locker rooms. this is not really up for debate, it polls terribly, and certain elements of the right of center (so 90% of Dems) indulge the lunacy* - By Daytripper August 11, 2026 at 11:27:49 PM
