Agree with both of you. I think a top priority needs to be legislation Citizens United into oblivion. Turn off the money faucet so we can actually get some accountability and maybe even *gasp* governance that serves the public.

Honestly I took this as a jab at Gavin Newsome.

Correct. You’re not our guy.

Another Dim looking to unite the country with nazis. Fuck off.

Just another entirely deluded Democrat who wants to "heal the country" by uniting with nazis who want to kill us. Idiots.

Peace follows justice, not the other way around

narrator voice: yadda yadda yadda

I listened to Beshear interview Rick Pitino, who kept saying how diverse the streets of NYC are but not once did Beshear acknowledge the diversity in the Commonwealth of KY. That’s a choice.

Hard to "heal" while the infection is still festering, Andy.

He lost my vote

Yep. To the curb with him.

Nope. I want someone who'll run on a platform of CONSEQUENCES. Investigations, charges, trials, tribunals, bans, disbarments, prison, public shaming, canceling... Burn down the GOP & salt the ground where they walked.

Yeah this guy ain't it. No unity with fascists.

he'll be an outstanding president - if you're JD Vance or Ron DeSantis or Greg Abbott eyeing a 2032 "Make America Great Again Again" fascist campaign

Fuck that! I want accountability and in the cruelest ways legally possible.

Beshear is not my guy. He is delusional if he thinks Republicans want to "heal" and be "brought together". JFC what a limp dick.

Okay. Next!!

Ok then not my guy. We need fire and brimstone and accountability and arrests and trials and executions.

Does that mean we’re just gonna move on once again and not prosecute these people when we get the power back? I like him but not if he’s going to be a pushover.

This country needs justice. Justice heals. Pretending bad things didn’t happen and moving forward singing kumbaya in the name of healing only leads to worse in the future.

Shit. Thanks for confirming for all of us that you ARE NOT GOING TO FIGHT! We already tried this shit twice. One was Obama. The next was Biden. And we still ended up with Trump.

"Heal the country" is an automatic no from me.

Sorry Andy, but Appeasment has been tried before and it did not work.

@govandybeshear.bsky.social we want someone to mock, shame, and hold them accountable, so I don't think you or @governor.ca.gov are our guys.

K bye

Bye

Sorry to say, but this was not a winning message from Kamala.

He wouldn't win.

Buh Bye then Beshear. You can't Koombyeya the country together until you root out the corruption and rot.

Bye-bye Beshear. Read the moment.

Just another Status Quo Joe!

Beshear and Newsom can both kick rocks.

Everyone should reel back the camera lens, and objectively read through this thread. Does this seem like a voting block that can or will defeat the right? Nah.

I live in Florida. It's complicated, like most things in life.

Having Eeyore lead into the battle for your nation is not very reassuring. Eeyore is fine for fighting the HOA.

Americans seem ready to burn it all down and press restart. That was why Trump won and now why Democrats are voting against the establishment.

yeah this is basically my litmus test.

Thank you. He’s a decent man. Not sure why these people are trashing him.

President Lindbergh.

“I will grind these Nazis into hamburger and feed them to my fucking dogs.” Greased rail to the White House for the person who says this.

They're just doing what their corporate overlords tell them to do

we can all come together after we throw these assholes in prison.

No they aren't miss reading anything our government has been privatized & since billionaires seen success without any resistance now they have moved on to the news. 🤷‍♂️

MOTÖRHEAD's LEMMY: ”I Think All Politicians Are Assholes.”

It doesn't make him any less fucking worthless.

Democratic party tradition. It's in the DNA.

The Boy Scout routine is tone deaf and frankly offensive. It’s why we’re in this mess. I’m talking to you Merrick Garland and Robert Mueller! I really don’t know who our candidate is going to be. We’re so fucked. Please tell me I’m wrong!

Donors choose.

Maybe he’s being who is authentically and not trying to read anything

It is difficult to get a Democrat to understand something when his campaign funds depend on his not understanding it.

We don't make peace until the enemy is defeated, otherwise it's capitulation. MAGA must end and be thoroughly discredited forever.

And most are born rich.

His dad was a lawyer and the Governor. Gimme a break.

Anyone who is not a republican should be shoving republican faces in the mud. The only way to heal a festering wound is to cut the rot out, that goes for all politicians.

Old, out of touch, personally not affected by and in some cases benefitting from the current situation. The whole system is a disaster and these fools need to step back or catch up.

It's how they got where they are in the first place. Most people don't change even when their situation does.

"Now here's a guy who can't read a room."

I’m all for bringing people together. I’ll be over here if you’re looking for me, I’ll be easy to find.

you don't have to be a firebrand to ditch the bullshit about healing. say plainly that people are breaking the law and abusing the country and you are going to hold them accountable. that the law applies to everyone or we do not have law

Progressives always think that Americans really, really, want progressives, even in red states like Kentucky, where a progressive would get slaughtered. These people hate moderate Democrats almost as much as people on the far right.

My D primary vote goes to whoever runs on a platform of bringing a mashup of Sherman’s March to the Sea and the Third Punic War to MAGA-world.

He was elected to bring USA together. And because of that he did not clean up any of the horrible mistakes GWB had done. Such as The Patriot Act. And I remember CIA had tortured people all over the world. We never heard of anyone getting in trouble for that.

KY’s senators are Rand Paul and Mitch McConnell. Beshear has done well as governor. He’s not going to be president.

I like Beshear a ton but I never expected him to be capable of what’s needed.

My biggest fear if we get through this is that the Dems “let the healing begin.”

when they go loooooooow.... woo woo

Eh. Not going to hate on Beshear for this. Going to take him at his word. He is not my guy. Will go into primaries accordingly.

Because they dont listen to voters they listen to fuckwits like Ezra Klein...

His father was gov. He’s popular w family legacy. So who he is isn’t representative of the Ds generally. Can’t use him as an example

It's a natural talent in some people.

Their idea of politics was formed 20 years ago when their brains were still forming. It’s like how we all get stuck in music from our 20s.

Probably in a similar bubble as Trump.

Consultant brain rot and staying on twatter.

Courting rich pedophiles who have not yet been exposed, I assume?

Can’t imagine thinking this is a “misreading of the moment” from Beshear. His path will always be to offer a Better Way.It’s not clear yet whether he’s talented enough to pull it off but the idea that this amounts to some sort of error of judgment is itself a complete misread what’s happening here.

Newsom’s not misreading the moment but we definitely don’t need Newsom (He did lead on Dem restricting so there’s that)

Because they are wimps.

Cowards

they live in an elite bubble of privilege. they are all part of the Great Big Club that we’re not in. they are the Epstein Class, and the Epstein Class Adjacent

Personally, I don’t want to be “brought together” with people who support and enable pedophiles 🤷‍♀️

1. I don't think he's misreading the moment. He very clearly states what he is and acknowledges it may not be what people want. 2. He's a Democratic politician in a red state. Bashing Republicans isn't how he wins.

The bubble is public enemy #1

I mean his constituents are trump voters.

at this point all I ask is for Governor Goodhair to eat shit

He has no chance. Nice is not going to get it done.

You can’t explain something to a man if his job relies on him not understanding it, is the only explanation I can come up with for this level of idiocy.

Its gotta be physically hard to misread the moment so badly. I am a blue no matter who girlie but absolutely fuck that shit

Yeah, but you all hate Newsome, who does punch down like Trump. Dems can't win no matter what they do.

It's not that we're not "together". It's that they are fucking fascists.

@katmabu.bsky.social Not a single Democratic candidate is running on a law and order platform with upfront plans to prosecute all the people of the Trump administration for violating the constitution and other lesser laws. Why do the Democrats suck so hard?

I just want someone to come out and outline a plan of how they’re going to actively hurt people in MAGA when they’re in power. That person would have my vote in a heartbeat

👆👆👆👆👆🎯

I assume it’s how they keep paying Democratic consulting firms to ensure they lose.

cowardice. They need to be gone.

I think it is just who he is. You may not think he’s right the moment and that’s fine.

Keep playing nice with pedos, felons, criminals and con-men and see how far that gets you. The Democrats are Ishmael and the Republicans are Ernie "Big Ern" McCracken. Don't know how they can't see that. Oh, yes I can, because they keep taking corporate and AIPAC $$$$$.

Mediocrity.

Beshear's won his election in Nov '23 in a deeply red state. He, and he alone, gets to say this because he's won where no one else ever could.

💸💸💸

everyone wants to be the new clinton with a dash of obama unity rather than FDR

My guess is they want to get elected but lose corporate money, which is pretty much on par with why the US political system sucks fucking ass, they tiptoe around pedophiles to one day benefit from the system they built up and abuse. These aren't public servants, they're puppets

These are the establishment boys. If you want him to attend a fundraiser for corporate donors he's your guy.

Consulting class

They are scaredy. And their moral compass is off. They crave a return to the brink of fascism. It’s the “centrist” dream of the traditional Democrats.

They don’t understand we don’t want the same as we have had the last 40 years. It doesn’t work for anyone but the rich.

The myth of the independent voter is a strong one.

The Right gives candidates credit for believing all sorts of stuff that it’s bad politics to say out loud. A portion of the Left is constantly aghast that politicians and elected officials won’t publicly parrot their buzzwords and take meaningless symbolic stances. It’s exhausting.
