Essentially everyone on the Left considers Liberals fair-weather friends at best and certainly not anyone who'd stick their neck out for voters.

Biden spent his whole career serving oligarchy and protecting the status quo. I don't think he's personally in the files but in what universe would he ever voluntarily release them?

Wow, what (not) a surprise. All those terrorism and surveillance laws passed after 9/11 were exactly as much a bad idea as people who didn't hate muslims were warning them to be.

An empty insult. There have been numerous sexual allegations against Mao in a way that don't exist for more recent Chinese Leaders. Believing Women or admitting that it may be possible at least doesn't make someone a western chauvinist. That's just chaffing at anyone who offers any criticism whatsoever.

by imagining that communists would also be pedophiles?

Anyone can be a pedo.

Hey, Xi Jinping is still alive, how come he isn’t in the files?

I find it hard to believe that the Leader of China with access to his own intelligence agencies would be foolish enough to fall for a blackmail operation run by a guy with ties to Mossad, Trump, and the Saudi Royal family; assuming he even was a pedo. He might even be monogamous to his wife for all we know though information of his private life isn't widely available.

Any kind of socialism is mutually exclusive from classical liberalism; not necessarily on every bullet point but broadly speaking. The common thread among the various socialist ideologies is typically that the economy and society exist to provide for the needs of the people.

There is significant overlap between people who believed in Qanon and People who are convinced that Trump is completely innocent of the allegations.

Believing in a fake pedo conspiracy set up by people to protect the guilty in a real pedo conspiracy doesn't earn you any props in my book.

Mostly I see people who were desperate to get rid of Trump in 2020 showing their short memories by going back to non-voting. I don't think the actual number of protest-non voters was very high.

Don't blame them at all though. The DNC is squarely to blame. They made a series of terrible decisions and ended up with a bad candidate running a bad campaign and thought they could still win solely on how shitty their opponent was.

Democrats spent years neglecting State and County elections to focus their main attention on flashy National races that could bring in big donors. Coupled with how Democrats with name recognition like to park their asses in Congress until they're frail and elderly, never making way for the next generation, there's just not a deep pool of talent to draw on for the Presidency.

AOC is the candidate I see available who would be the best suited for the actual White House but I have doubts she could win the Primary or the General. Gavin might be electable but his problems are deep enough they might discourage folks Left of Center from backing him and I really wouldn't want him in the White House anyways. Mark Kelly is getting his name tossed around. I don't know enough about him to know how I'd feel about electing him. He might be electable though. He's getting National name recognition with his battle against Hegseth. He's a moderate and a military veteran with appeal among Independents. He doesn't seem to have any real controversies and he's new enough to politics to not have alot of baggage or strong negative opinions attached to him (though that could change in 3 years). JB Pritzker being a billionaire would hurt him among Leftists but he could win both the Primaries and General I think. His wealth could help him rally support from both the Upper Classes and Democratic party insiders. His relative lack of controversy or strong negative opinions about him would help him in the General as would his growing name recognition on the National stage. Plus he's isn't afraid to go for the political jugular when he needs too. Personally don't want a Billionaire as president but I would prefer him over Newsom. And Kamala is a joke. She'll have even less support this time then last time. If super delegates start to rally around her, you'll know for a fact she's the controlled opposition candidate.
