I’ve heard this.

Unless we win the lottery or my long lost cousin from somewhereelseistan calls to let me know they’ve got a spot for us, we’re sheltering in place unfortunately.

Every single value they claim to support is a hollow lie that exists for their own enrichment and power, and it’s so starkly plain from every single policy they push when they have power I can’t fathom how people don’t see it. I especially cannot believe that even now we have people who cannot see it.

I feel like I’m in a world where 90% of people can’t read and have never watched the news sometimes, because it’s that blatantly obvious to me.

You know I’ve had this feeling for a long time. But I really have it now.

Look at everything going on, everything he’s doing. If AOC (arbitrary example, but he’ll call any Democrat a “radical marxist” through the entire campaign no matter who it is) is elected in 2028, will he and his handlers go “well, at least it will take them a long time to unfuck things?” No, there’s no way that happens.

Maybe we’ll get an honest election and maybe we’ll learn the results of it. I don’t think he leaves in Jan 2029 without a fight no matter who wins, unless it’s Vance, and maybe not even then.

And to be clear, there’s no way the Dems will run AOC or anyone like her. We’ll probably get someone even further right than Kamala or Biden since it seems to be Republican votes they actually want now.

I only have hope for 2028 actually resulting in Trump no longer being president if the cheeseburgers take him before then, or the 2026 midterms are not only a blue wave, but also entirely above board and free of shenanigans.

Bruh.

Again we agree! :)

I agree, but wasn’t sure I could adequately defend that assertion if challenged. 🙂

Show me a piece of fiction which has nothing to say about societal issues and I’ll show you a fucking boring piece of fiction.

You don’t say.

How the hell is it only 83% of Democrats?

Literally because he would be unbiased.

And now people are complaining that he’s unbiased instead of biased in the opposite way?

So are you claiming he’s a progressive or that we shouldn’t care that he’s not? Because I feel like this started out one way, and is ending another.

Have you never read any political history?

Do you not already know what happens when after a regime change the new one decides to do all the fucked up shit the last one did, but to the opposite group of people?

AND ALSO you claim that wanting an actual progressive to chair the DNC is wanting the democrats to do all the same fucked up shit Trump is doing now? Are we having the same conversation?

I can’t imagine how you’ve taken that from my comments.

Edited to add - if you like Martin that’s fine by me. I don’t see how you are holding him up as some shining progressive example though, and you’ve provided nothing but trust me bro to back up that stance.

LOL I’d LOVE to stop paying attention to the crumbling of our government at the willing urging of Republicans. I’m paying a lot of attention. I see crickets from R, or cheerleading, or condemnation of any R who dares break ranks. Since 2017. Except those 6 republicans that Kamala paid to run ads for her when she was trying to win R votes instead of D votes in 2024.

Too much to ask for just one source, eh?

But what the absolute fuck does that have to do with the DNC?

Well, you’d think the DNC chair would be involved in discussions of strategy, but WTH do I know?

This source any better for you? (And speaking of which, did we forget David Hogg when claiming Martin was progressive?)

DNC Elects Moderate Ken Martin as New Chair, Shunning Calls from Progressive Base (FYI that’s a link to Democracy Now)

I didn’t click your link, but I hovered and know why you hid it now.

LOL I didn’t hide it. That’s how you hyperlink things on the internet. It’s not like you wouldn’t see it upon clicking.

Having said that, I didn’t realize it was AI trash.

OTOH, I have provided at least one source to backup my assertion that he’s NOT super progressive and does not represent something other than status quo. It turns out it was a shitty source, but I"m also sure that’s not where I first saw a similar analysis, so I’ll find you a better one.

You have provided trust me bro.

I’d love to see some evidence that the DNC is becoming more progressive. So far I don’t see that. I’m not arguing with you out of spite, I’m arguing because I think they are too beholden to corporatism to do anything else, and I don’t feel (up to now) that Martin represents a break from that.

The DNC pivoted hard left with Martin

Democratic Party rejects dramatic change in leadership vote

Democrats elected Minnesota DFL chair Ken Martin to lead their party on Saturday, picking a longtime insider from a purple state over candidates who argued for more radical reform after their November defeats.

I don’t know what exactly people expect

Stop voting to confirm Trump’s nominations might be a start.

We had that until… you know.

Hey, the French are still more willing to fuck shit up in the name of correcting their government than the US is.
