It’s neat how pragmatism always involves waiting an additional few decades to do anything other than field “we’re second worst to nazis and that’s it” candidates.
I don’t make the rules. US is deeply racist and sexist. There isn’t much we can do to change it overnight. Trying to push an ultra progressive candidate will simply mean losing the election. I’ll love to see Bernie or AOC as the president, but most Americans think that they’re Communist, and that’s somehow a deal breaker to them.

We’ve had three cycles in a row of running dull conservatives against evil conservatives. One of them won, yes, but by the skin of his teeth. How many more cycles of losing to fascists are we gonna need?
I honestly don’t have a good answer to that. But I think someone like Tim Walz, who has some progressive ideas, but still fits the image of a president for most Americans, is the better choice for the next term.
I’m literally a fucking socialist. I’m just being pragmatic here.
