“(With) today’s Supreme Court decision on presidential immunity, that fundamentally changed. For all practical purposes, there are virtually no limits on what the president can do. It’s a fundamentally new principle and it’s a dangerous precedent because the power of the office will no longer be constrained by the law even including the supreme court of the United States.”

Throughout his address, Biden underscored the gravity of the moment, emphasizing that the only barrier to the president’s authority now lies in the personal restraint of the officeholder. He warned vehemently against the prospect of Trump returning to power, painting a stark picture of the dangers such an outcome could pose.

    you think they’re not doing anything.

    What’s their long term plan?

    As far as I can tell, it’s only prevent progressives from taking control of the party.

      For now, they’re planning on getting out voters for the general election, and recruiting volunteers along the way.

      Most planning falls to state and local parties - which you can easily get involved in.

      Why haven’t you?

        For now,

        Bruh…

        Do you know what “long term planning” means?

        If you don’t think they have one, say it.

        So basically the only thing they care about is winning, not actually representing peoples values?

        Theyre more than just an election committee, thats what the DCCC is for.

              Yes, but that’s not how it works in practice. Running a government is a huge money-making machine, and so it attracts the worst kind of people.
