As far as I know, she is the only Democrat challenging Joe Biden for the nomination.

    How do you plan to win the hearts and minds of 200 million American voters?

    I’m hoping that one day they’ll realize there’s a genocide happening.

    And I’ll be praying that they do.

      Ffs. Thoughts and prayers is not a plan. A voting rightwing majority knows it’s genocide and likes that. It’s a selling point.

      Why would you gift them more control, more pieces to set the board for more atrocities home and abroad? And then preen like this was some sort of virtue?

      It’s so damn childish to keep pounding the table and shouting ‘Genocide!’ WE KNOW! We are trying! Shit is more fucked than your understanding of it. Crying ‘Never Again!’ and then telling me your grand plan is thoughts and goddamn prayers. Jfc.

        Thoughts and prayers is not a plan.

        Well, it’s either divine intervention, Americans suddenly waking up en masse, or the entire American political establishment being deposed in a violent revolution.

        Those are the options. You choose.

          Were you not just calling me absurd and obscene?

          Pray. Plan your revolution. And then vote blue you fucker. By your own admonition just now it doesnt matter which party takes power, it’s doom all the way down eh?

          If I’m right, and with cunning and coaxing, and study and threats and patience the morality can be wrung out of Americans, well then that ballot cost you nothing and the worst was held at bay another election cycle.

            Plan your revolution.

            Oh, I’m not planning a revolution. I abhor the idea of revolution. Revolutions are messy, and many innocent people get killed because nobody’s sure who to trust. (And because the victors write history, we never hear enough about the innocent victims of revolutions.)

            Also, I would be no good in a violent revolution. I am old and fat. I do not know how to shoot a gun. I feel faint at the sight of blood.

            As I said, I am hoping for a peaceful resolution for this country’s problems, which is why I am encouraging people to vote for non-establishment candidates and praying for divine intervention.

            But I’m not blind. This country is headed for violent revolution if its politics don’t change. This gestures at everything cannot continue.
