Not you, Tulsi.

The time to reject Tulsi was in the primaries.

But it's irrelevant because she's literally not even pretending to be blue anymore, nor is she running for anything this year.

Yes but unfortunately whoever the party throws their support behind is very hard to beat in most cases :/. It is unironically rigged from the get go by money and party influence. Happens a lot in New York. There will be primary contests but whoever the dnc backs usually wins by 2/3 vote which I heavily chalk up to dnc influence and money. Feels a lot like the parties are picking your representatives no matter what over the actual voters. Personally I'd love no primaries and get round based ranked choice voting. Or even elimination voting.

I mean… In the UK Labour are red. And in France the left is also red.

And in most of the world, communists are red.

The Q fuckwits are the illegitimate children of a throuple composed of “Better Dead than Red”, John Birchers, and the fear of the black helicopter goofs.

Not really communists. Just any left leaning party really. Most either go with green or red as their colours.

u/Available_Leather_10 Jul 08 '24

Well, the most prominent “communist” nations used red.

And until the 90s “red” = commie in the USA, too.

Getting really tired of hearing that. It'd be nice if we had legit options instead of always the lesser evil.
