The only reason their careers has lasted this long was prior iterations of the DNC protected them from primaries.

The current DNC won’t do that.

If primary voters want to ditch the incumbent, Martin will support the new candidate just as hard as he would have supported the incumbent

He doesn’t really care what candidate makes it to the general, except that they were/are the ones voters chose.

And sadly enough, that makes him the most progressive DNC chair since Carter’s election.

It’s a level playing field, and neoliberals can’t win in that environment unless it’s against a Republican.

They won’t all get replaced at once, but it’ll happen. And more will choose to cash out and become a lobbyist before losing office.

We don’t need the individuals, we need the seat they’re occupying.

The big problem with Republicans saying this was “enough” early warning…

Is that this still happened, and further cuts will happen

Warnings will be even later, even more people will die in the next one.

Rafael is like a groundhog…

If he won’t show his shadow in Texas, watch out for extreme weather.

If he pops his head up, it’ll be a nice sunny day

Biden and the rest of the neoliberals gave Bibi everything he wanted, but it was never going to be enough.

Give someone like that two choices who will do whatever he wants, but one is a sadistic asshole. And they’ll go with the asshole everytime.

There was never any gain for a Dem to defend Bibi, except for the personal gain of campaign donations from a foreign country.

And that’s one of the big reasons Dem turnout was low enough for trump to be president.

Neoliberals picked Israel over America and we need to get every single one of them out of office

I can’t help but feel like when Hollywood switched to ME villains instead of nazis, it really had a large sociological effect.

Not that it was intentional propaganda, just that 20 years of “anything to stop poor brown people in the desert” had an effect different than “anything to stop the genocidal fascists”.

What kind of shitty click bait is this?

The richest man in the world officially announced on Saturday that he has officially formed a new political party to challenge Republicans and Democrats alike.

He fucking tweeted that it was created, literally nothing official.

Not for the first time in American history, but hopefully for the last time.

People give me shit for getting hung up on specifics, but remember that the majority of Germans really didn’t know what was going on at the camps till the very end of the war when they were shown film evidence of camps being liberated.

The literal card carrying nazis tried to hide it better than what is happening now, when members of the party openly “joke” about feeding 65 million (the number of Hispanics, not immigrants even if legal were included) to alligators, there is no logical reason to believe they’re being honest about what is really happening there.

Alligators have stomach acid strong enough to dissolve bone, it takes a while (months?) but eventually there will be no trace of a body. They could literally be tossing them in a swamp to dispose of bodies and because of how shadowy arrests have been, I doubt they’re keeping good records of inmates.

People are going to disappear

toxic individualism

That’s not the root problem. It’s the lie told to defend ruthless capitalism:

If you can’t make it, you’re the problem

It’s the absolute perfect time for Republicans to split…

This is gonna be the first fair Dem primary in decades that will be a fair fight. Musk and Trump having a slap fight while Dems can actually get the most popular candidate into the general?

Let em cook

Have you met trump voters?

They idolized trump because they believed he was wealthy

But musk is actually as wealthy as they believed Trump was.

Nothing else matters to them, wealth = power, and power is a good thing to ally with.

It’s all basic psychology, because when you spend literal generations ignoring public education, around 40% of the population never gets past base animalistic thinking.

They’re picking the aide they think is most powerful, because millions of years of instincts beat into us by evolution says the powerful will kill the weak. Learning the killing doesn’t have to happen is the entire point of socialization, and we just don’t teach that to humans anymore.

How the left is defending this particular religion is crazy.

1. All the Abrahamic religions have these extremists.

2. Name any of the other big three that have multiple genocides against their followers happening right now.

You’re punching down by signaling out Islam, that’s why you keep getting the feedback you’re complaining about

Has no one tried explaining that to you yet?

Edit:

On a completely unrelated note, it’s always weird when I stop replying to one account about this, another account with even less activity usually picks up right where the other left off …

It has less to do with religion and more to do with culture

No. It’s far right religious extremism…

You’re taking the actions of the most extreme 0.001% and using a label that applies to literally billions of people…

It’s hard to believe someone cant logically understand that

You’ve made it abundantly obvious that you’re problem is the religion and not an isolated incident.

It’s also obvious why you’re hyper focused on the far right extremists of just one of the Abrhamic religions when literally all of them have extremists doing the same fucking shit. Because their rationale for doing so is literal the same original rules, and for the literal same god.

If you want to avoid people pointing out the bias in what you’re doing talk about far right religious extremists of all religions, not just a singular one.

Especially when the religion you’re hyper focused on are the victims of multiple genocides right fucking now

Everybody that doesn’t identify as a progressive…

The nation didn’t follow FDR because everything was rosy before he was elected.

When shit gets bad, especially quickly, people turn to progressive politicians. And shits been bad in America, but it about to get a lot fucking worse.

Two tiny websites who don’t even have mbfc ratings…

Thanks for proving my point there’s no trustworthy sources, since it’s a safe assumption those were the best you could find short of the literal far right tabloid you first learned about this from

Removed by mod

when I learned

You didn’t learn anything…

You saw a random social media post and instantly believed what it said

What the fuck is wrong with people?

Biden’s primary problem was that he could not comprehend where the criticism was coming from and would re-frame it in such a way as to absolve responsibility.

Because he has the mind of an 80 year old…

Everyone around him was either taking advantage of him or complicit in what was happening.

We can’t keep pretending the normal biological effects of aging aren’t real. And because the way it affects, we’re usually the last ones to notice it’s happening.

Other people have to be able to make the call. It doesn’t matter if it’s polite, sometimes grandpa doesn’t get to keep the car keys.

And from your link:

Interviews with a dozen DNC members revealed deep frustration with Martin and concern about his ability to unify and lead a party trying to recover from massive electoral losses in 2024.

There’s a lot more than a dozen DNC members who hate him…

He literally just got two super delegates from the Rules and Bylaws committee to resign…

https://www.cbsnews.com/colorado/news/dnc-union-leaders-leave/

They were literally the ones fucking with presidential primaries, and now they’re no longer part of the DNC in any capacity…

Like, if you agree that past iterations of the DNC were giant pieces of shit, how are you surprised that there’s still some DNC members from that period who are pissed they’re no longer in control?

Logically this is a good thing that some are mad at Ken and completely leaving the party.

This is what we wanted.

The issue is billionaire owned media didn’t want this, so they’re presenting it backwards.

And people are falling for it

What do they have to do with the DNC?

Like, you understand there’s the DNC, and then every state has their own state party, then I’m pretty sure the terrorities have them too

If your point is some people with Ds by their name are pieces of shit and need to be replaced, you’re preaching to the choir director buddy.

But Martin is the DNC chair, and he hasn’t said a single bad thing about Mamdani that I’m aware of.
