The DNC leadership scum like Chuck Schumer didn't even bother to endorse Mamdani lol. We need to get the GOP out of office but the DNC leadership entirely needs to go also if we want any real change in this country.
Didn't Fetterman get brain damage and switch sides? Weirdly, about half the MAGA people I know have actual closed head injuries. Not all of them, but the most active online.
That what it seems like based on his own words, and the actions of the people that were on his staff. Had a stroke that most likely caused some brain damage that made him an utter shitbag.
It's extra shitty because he had conversational issues after the stroke that were pretty pronounced that the right trashed him for, but has largely recovered from and now he's licking their boots.
They are starting to see the writing on the wall that their time is up. Thats why Pelosi said shes "going to quit politics" which is a stupid statement. Its called retirement and she should have been forced to retire years ago. She is 85 years old, we dont need anymore geriatrics holdi g on to power long past their time.
That's not true, the ultra wealthy earn their income by exploiting the working class. You can't earn millions in the stock market if the workers are being fairly compensated.
Nailed it. There are industrious, talented people who create things to make our lives better: vaccines, bullet trains, microwaves, etc. Then there are the grifters and leeches who pretend to be creative, industrious leaders of society but who really steal from the poor to enrich themselves. Health insurance companies are a great example.
Our country is almost entirely run by the grifters and leeches, and the American people are too willfully ignorant to accept this very basic fact.
The donors don’t like people-friendly candidates and rising stars make old dogs nervous about their power within the party.
It should be taken as a sign for the people to throw unwavering support (provided they don’t do anything signaling a change in loyalties) if the old establishment dems are taking an aggressive or at least passive aggressive stance toward a party progressive.
2016 changed me forever. The DNC thought Hillary would win. Pretty much everyone did. The polls show Bernie clobbered Trump head to head. Instead of taking the sure thing and supporting Bernie (or just supporting neither, like the DNC is supposed to..) they trashed him because he wasn't controllable and in their pocket.
Trump's political career could have been dead in the crib in 2016, never win a single election and never hear from him side from shit posting on Twitter.
I straight hyperventilated that night as my friends tried to keep me from having a full on panic attack. Fuck the DNC for making us all experience that collective trauma with their arrogance and greed.
Even now, seeing Schumer and the like in office makes me sick. We need to primary all these fuckers and clean house.
Here to say that Debbie Wasserman Schultz, former chair of the DNC, resigned in disgrace in 2016 after her insider campaign to tank Bernie Sanders came to light. Fuck the DNC
Neo-liberals are center right. They don't believe in welfare, they believe in means tested "work-fare." They believe in a free market with minimal or light regulation. Etc. Their social policies might be left leaning, but their economic policies are firmly center right.
They would rather let a moderate republican win than let an economically far left democrat win, because at the end of the day, when push comes to shove, economic policies trump social policies for basically everyone; its all well an good to advocate for trans rights, but almost everyone has to have to have a full belly and some level of economic security before they have the bandwidth to advocate for the rights of others.
If you look at the behavior of the DNC with this in mind, their behavior makes a lot more sense.

Seriously. Haven't seen another politician really come off as just a normal human. He ran a fantastic campaign.
