Member when the neoliberals tried to pretend this douche would be the next presidential pick?
The worst part about neoli erals is places solid blue like Cali get conservative leaders because they’ll take dirty money in primaries, then the only option is a Republican.
It depresses turnout till a Republican wins, and that usually comes with the state flipping in an election year because that’s when campaigning is highest.
It’s not just that they’re shitty people who won’t fix anything, they’re actively hurting dem turnout all over the country when it hits the news
We need higher standards across the board, not just in the oval.

Yeah, that’s why he’s doing this. Throwing vulnerable minorities under the bus for no gain whatsoever is how you show democratic leadership that you’re on their side.
Literally his only good feature was that he was combative with Republicans. We all knew he didn’t believe in any of it, but he had a shtick. Without that he’s just another useless moderate.
And to abandon it now, when we need to unify as Democrats and not feed into any of their bullshit is particularly dumb. No one’s going to give him brownie points for folding now, moderates just can’t help themselves but reach for that golden ring of triangulation.
