  • Also, Martin just ran out two of those problematic superdelegates who had been fucking shit up. Not only that, they had been high ranking members of the committee that has been running the sh primaries.

    I’m sorry are you referring to Lee Saunders and Randi Weingarten who are the leaders for the unions for state, county, municipal employees and teachers respectively, which are more than 3 million working people?

    Who complained that Martin is not doing enough to fight the current issues and think he is focusing to much on raising money, (a thing he just bragged he managed to do the most of for a 4 month start) and that it doesn’t bring voters back.
    Who were removed from their committee seat like everyone else that backed a different party chair than Martin?

    I’m sorry but I am not optimistic on Martin and I don’t think I can see how especially after he just cried that David Hogg ruined his chances to be a good leader by saying we should support more younger progressives.


  • Not a single one of them has ever been able to answer the question of “Even if you believe that, how does allowing Trump return to power make it any better or advance your position?”

    Cause it’s not about the one person you are arguing with but the hundreds of thousands who won’t say anything and vote against all that anyways.
    That one person didn’t allow trump to come to power they just raised a voice for why they believe all the silent voters are voting the way they do and standing up for it to be heard by someone that will hopefully listen.

    I’m willing to bet that Obama was a fluke

    If the Democrat party puts forward a woman or minority in 2028, especially after 4 years of Trump stoking racial tensions, they’re going to lose.

    Racist and sexist because you believe other people are doesn’t make you any less.


  • Yes! Seriously if they don’t like it, just go somewhere else. Go live in your bunker, I don’t care just don’t come back complaining about it and don’t pretend like you can still own all the resources and land from down there.

    There ability to skim money from those that actually do labor doesn’t seem like to matter to the farmers who need to grow food to sell it, and the people buying it will continue to do so. I don’t get how these skimmers/leeches think they are the beginning and end of all social contracts.


  • Martin’s trying guys, he’s trying. He can almost smell that 2028 victory, he just needs everyone to shut up until he can figure the 3 year plan out.

    Blanco, a union activist and DNC vice-chair, said that under Martin, the DNC had been fighting hard against the budget bill.

    “There_ are over 16,000 Democratic volunteers making phone calls across the country in targeted congressional districts about the GOP budget, and how it will be devastating to working people,” Blanco said

    So how much you want to bet that it’s mostly just calls for donations in wealthy districts? Also I don’t know why but something about saying how it will be bad for “working” people, just rubs me the wrong way.
    Don’t members of Congress work? Or do we just consider that being in the club and a step above us?


  • Yeah, that’s my go to for first aid. I actually Cary around saline solution though in my first aid kit for sterility and you just spray it on as needed to wash debris and particulates. People are already in enough pain don’t need to burst cell walls that survived as well.

    Then it’s a out bandaging and replacing and cleaning the area as needed. I’m a big fan of the newer hydrocolloid bandages, even though you don’t heal faster it’s far more consistent and the whole surface being sticky and absorbing means it can hold more fluid and cover odd size wounds.













  • You downvote me for agreeing that Schumer needed to be primaried but noting the nuance of the infighting that would happen from it? You even responded so it added to the conversation. Sorry just seems odd use of that.

    I think the people would agree and he would win the appearance game but I think the party would close ranks hard on anyone saying anything against Schumer and he would be ousted completely and smeared.

    I agree he didn’t have a second punch ready I just think no second punch would be big enough yet. Wish it was more of a fight but the DNC operates as unit when it’s their own money and appearance on the line.


  • I guess my question is, whether you can say Chuck Schumer needs to be primaried within a party who elected him as minority leader?

    There is of course actually better options as well but they too have friends and calling out names with their resources and lack of conviction of other party members it paints a target on you.
    Blue conservatives have their own friends and he did not. I’d probably stumble my way through as well trying to find a path forward. I think the problem is there is none while the culture is so against even treating it like a proper job instead of a club.

    He wasn’t prepared but I think the end result would likely be the same.
