    Neoliberals would love it…

    There’s a reason they view progressives as a bigger threat; if they lose to progressives their only chance of retaining power is moderating the Republican party and switching back.

    They can’t fucking do that, I don’t know if anyone can in less than a generation. trump blew their last shot at that, and if they try to create a third party, it just hands a progressive ran Dem party everything.

    Their only chance is depressing Dem turnout 2028 and hoping they can get a corrupt chair in to run a rigged 2032 primary, during which Republicans would keep control.

        2028 will be a fair primary.

        If a progressive wins, they name a progressive DNC chair, get another fair primary.

        So, neoliberals are likely to try and blow up the 2028 election if they can’t get the current DNC chair to resign.

        I don’t think it’s a far fetched idea that they’d rather have 4 more years of fascism than a progressive president

      The Baileys told me that they think Schumer is a lying fraud and that they never said any of the stuff Chuck says about them. If Chuck wants to bring them in and prove it one way or another thatd sure be helpful and appreciated. Otherwise I gotta go with the word of the Baileys that I heard with my own ears.

    Historical Criticism: In 2019, Schumer explicitly condemned Omar’s comments as “wrong and hurtful” and compared her criticism of pro-Israel lobbying to neo-Nazi rhetoric during an AIPAC speech, forcing her into a public apology.

    Political Distance: Analysts note that Schumer’s refusal to defend Omar aligns with his close ties to pro-Israel establishment groups and his frequent distancing from progressive lawmakers who criticize Israel, a pattern that has defined their relationship for years.

    And he is going to be the leader of the Dems again.

    Schumer also confirmed he is running for re-election as Senate Democratic leader, stating, “I am running for re-election for leader. Period.”

    He’s putting his foot this time and he’s been busy drafting a speech adamantly denouncing Trump for, again, doing something illegal and the next time it happens there definitely will be real consequences.

    Lots of democrats in power are racists as well so it gets hard to move forward to a better day where we can leave that useless bullshit behind us. Maybe it’s a human thing or maybe it’s a capitalist thing. If the earthlings were all one colour you can bet that there would be sub-factions with the same kind of hate.

      I dont like people who chew with their mouths open and make smacking noises, and I dont feel bad about oppressing them with rude statements and not passing them anything at the dinner table. They can stand up, walk over, and fetch it themselves.

      Yeah, I said it.

      No one like the fascists. They are pedophilic traitors. What do you expect to get from. Working with people who collaborate with them and refer to them as “colleagues”?

      What is your “opposition” party delivering to people or DOING to stop ANYTHING going on? What did the opposition party DO to prevent any of this from happening? Why will your opposition party fund MAGA but not DSA or LEFT WING candidates (the opposite of fascists) why does your opposition party denigrate the left and not support them when they are elected?

      Pretty sure that’s not why you get banned.

      You’re a known troll who advocates for violence.

          You… you are aware mod logs are public and it takes like 20 seconds to scroll through someone’s comments. I mean, you really make it easy tho given you keep using the same images to reply to people.

              OK, so you take issue with being called Russian?

              If you want to be less exhausted, just spend less time burning accounts trolling.

              I’ll believe you aren’t Russian, but maybe if you didn’t troll so often and call for violence so often it wouldn’t come in to question.

              Common talking points for online Russian troll accounts trying to influence the elections are “your vote doesn’t matter”, “both sides are the same, so why vote”, “this politician isn’t 100% ideal, so you shouldn’t vote for them or it’s the same as condoning whatever”.

              While I agree that there’s A LOT to be desired in the current political system and there’s certainly a lack of actually good candidates, voting is extremely important. Voting isn’t the only action you should take to affect change, but it is an important first step, and one everyone should be a part of.

                  I mean, what’s your alternative plan of action? Bitch about it online because there isn’t a perfect solution gift wrapped and ready?

                  Wish for the end of the current system while contributing nothing of consequence yourself?

                  You can wish in one hand and shit in the other, let me know which one fills up first.
