As a DNC Strategist I think the BEST way to Counter Trump is to Give him EVERYTHING he Wants and then run Kamala Harris again!
Seems legit.
- Obtain fleet of excavators to dig heads out of sand.
- Scrap the pink shirts and auction bid signs.
The path is through AoC and Bernie. While I appreciate Pritzker’s seemingly well-intentioned efforts he’s part of the elites and can get fucked.

Chicagoland resident checking in. I agree with everything you said here. Pritzker is an amazing governor and his handling of Covid was fucking rad!
Seems like the right guy for the time.
Depressing to me though that “progressive” policies from 100 years ago are now considered ultra-progressive and sometimes radical.

He may be one of the elites, but he has been doing much more to fight for working class workers than many/most politicians even in the Democratic party right now. I agree AOC and Bernie are great, but that doesn’t mean they can do it themselves alone.
As an Illinoisan, Pritzker is the exception that proves the rule. He uses his money for good, and has been amazing for the state. He really shows that billionaires can do good but the vast majority choose not to.
So, with that said, I’m all for letting him lead with AOC and Bernie. He can really bankroll efforts.
There are elites in every society.
We’re not against elites, we’re against people who participate in corruption and subverting democratic systems and laws.
In this fight, we welcome all allies.
I’m against elites. I will happily classify some as clearly worse than others but anyone with more than a few million in wealth got there by stealing from others and declined many opportunities to make their income highly productive for society.
Anything other than pushing aoc and Bernie is going to fail and they’re absolutely going to do it again because they’ve learned nothing.
Formorer chicagolander:
I was never the most informed of pritzker, as I didn’t start payong attention to politics until covid. The first thing I remembered hearingvabout him is that he tried to evade some property taxes in some houses he owned by removing the toilets, didn’t work though. I found it more amusing than anything else
I remember when the covid crisisvstarted, he he did his best to reassure people with daliy press briefings. I also remember that pritzker was always at odds with trump. I hear he still is. Yeah I’d vote for him, maybe not over sanders, or aoc (I’d have to think about it), but I think he’d do a good job. Hasn’t got any complaints from me, more than I can say from most Democratics.
Have you tried doing something, anything, yet?
He’s trying to draw a chart; does that count?
Oh yeah, counter a billionaire with a billionaire… No thank you.
I wish Walz and Pritzker and AOC and the handful of other Democrats who have more than two neurons in their skulls would just say “fuck this, fuck you, new party”. The DNC got us here. The DNC isn’t going to get us out of this, if we even can get out of this.
