Trump’s officials are quietly concerned about his “blatant criminal behavior.” What took them so long?
It is time to stop examining the chaos and time to do something about it.
I have a source inside the Trump regime who feels, in their own words, “a little disillusioned.” This person says they signed on to the Trump team because of “DEI going too far” and because “woke culture was dividing the country,” but is now concerned about the “blatant criminal behavior” of Donald Trump. Really? His last administration didn’t show you that? Well, OK.
This source first approached me by saying, “I can provide you bonafides to show you I’m serious.” That impressed me because I didn’t think many people inside the Trump regime knew what bonafides were, let alone how to be serious.
This source’s concerns about Trump are indeed legitimate, and deserve to be heard. “Not all of us are buying everything he says,” this person told me. “We understand the problem, but we see no solution. You guys in the press, with very few exceptions, are not trustworthy. Congress can’t be trusted and the judiciary so far hasn’t been able to stop him.”
Imagine thinking AOC is far left. Ok now imagine thinking that kind of far left is just as bad as the far right.
Like for example, informing people of their constitutional rights, advocating for things like accessible Healthcare and protections for workers is every but as bad as shipping people off without due process to El Salvador prison where they’ll die, grabbed by a militarized and masked police force that snatches people off the street, or from their homes or school.
Somehow it’s the fault of the democrats who won’t accept moderate Republicans. But also there are plenty of moderate democrats that agree that the far left is just as bad.
Well it’s amazing that insiders are finally able to suspect something is wrong, but they are still so gripped by cult doctrine they can’t make any progress.
People are still trying to push this nonsense that democratic candidates need to appeal to the objectively dumbest people in this country in order to be a viable candidate. Its ridiculous. Red voters are only ever going to vote red. They always have and they always will. Left leaning people in this country outnumber right leaning people by a wide margin (because reality has a left leaning bias). The issue is that dem individuals often just don’t vote when a candidate is put forward who is cowtowing to the right. The right still votes right and the left doesn’t vote. Then we get what we have now. If dems put forward a politician that progressive voters actually want they’ll have a much better chance. And AOC is probably a more well liked dem politician right now (among the left) than anyone else except maybe Bernie. But he’s probably too old at this point. So AOC makes the most sense right now to me and probably anyone else with a brain.
Feels like this might be the time for a coalition to run as “the freedom party” and basically run on the platform of Bernie but use completely different language. There have been studies showing that most gop voters agree with dem policies when they’re not presented using the buzzwords they’ve been brain washed to immediately reject (eg ACA vs Obamacare).
All the low info idiots voting against their own interests would hear policies they like, and they can jerk off to the word “freedom”.
I would take a “Weekend at Bernies” Bernie Sanders over literally any moderate DINO the DNC will push on us. I don’t care if he’s 99 and on a ventilator, put that man in office so we can finally join the rest of the civilized world with universal healthcare.
Two extremely qualified women both were defeated by the worst candidate in our countries history.
I love AOC and her policies, but this country has proven it’ll vote for literally the worst encapsulation of boomer greed than vote for a capable and competent woman. Twice.
The Democrats are morons if they pick a woman to run next time. Simple as that.
Let AOC kick Schumer out and take his senate seat. She would be much more effective there.
Clinton: hated by the right. Fought like hell against both Obama and Sanders. She earned the left’s animosity after months of flag pin bullshit during the Obama campaign. Her campaign boosted the birther messaging that trump rode to power. Her campaign tried to boost trump himself because her political instincts are so terrible that she thought she could easily beat a con man running in the Party of People You Can Fool All the Time. She neglected the swing states. Her VP pick was a thumb in the eye of people she needed on her side. Republicans didn’t vote for her because she’s not a republican. So I guess Democrats didn’t vote for her because they’re all sexists. It can’t be that she was an unpopular candidate with a godawful history running on arrogance and condescension.
Harris: supported a genocide, offered no change when the people were clamoring for change, ran with dick and liz cheney.
Clearly they both lost because they’re women. Americans are just too sexist to ever vote for a woman.
Until we have another centrist no one likes to foist upon you and order you to vote for. But until then, AOC might run, so women can’t win.
Clinton won the popular vote, and Harris lost because of her last minute hard-right turn alienated everyone.
That worst candidate didn’t win by a landslide either time, so I don’t think it’s fair to say America will never vote for a woman. Lots of Americans did vote for a woman. According to CNN: “More Americans voted for Hillary Clinton than any other losing presidential candidate in US history.”
People forget that aside from the email bullshit, it was widely reported that Clinton received something like 26 million dollars for speaking engagements, behind closed doors to bankers and American robber barons. Some parts of her speeches were leaked, but she never released any transcripts. I think that fueled voter apathy and “both sides the same” feeling for a lot of people, including two-income families struggling to make ends meet.
You think if a man had done the same, no-one except Bernie Sanders would care?
As for the second strong capable woman, I voted for her, despite her seeming support for the ongoing genocide. I’m not convinced that election was legit.
Hrc worshipped Kissenger
Yes, centrists wanted Kissinger’s protege in office.
Gross.
We need someone who looks like John Fetterman and thinks like AOC.
And wouldn’t you know it? We don’t have any of those. We just have people who think like Fetterman.
You have to blame media for its part in it.
Social media played a heavy hand in artificially inflating trump with its complete and blatant refusal step in and curtail any of the deluge of manufactured bullshit, fake AI controlled accounts, troll farm posts, blatant misinformation, etc, etc, etc.
broadcast media as well, for being so thirsty for ratings and another trump presidency they basically sanewashed every thing he did, when they could bother reporting on it at all, because they knew if he got elected it’d be 4 more years of people desperately turning in every day to see what fresh horrors trump was unleashing, which would drive ratings and revenues to the stratosphere.
So the billionaires. And Miller is their perfect mouthpiece…
I totally blame the media for a massive part of it. Biden has one bad debate and the news talked about it for over a month.
trump literally did the handjob dance and stood there doing nothing for 40 minutes, and it was out of the news cycle in 24 hours.
The news is why he got elected both times. Which is why I refuse to watch news anymore.
Which is a prime example of how bias the media is towards Republicans generally, and Trump specifically.
Democrats do something, and its constant harsh coverage.
Trump literally being a mentally unstable, unhinged mad man and gets the most soft touch coverage that excuses/ignores 99% of his behavior… When they can be bothered to report on it at all.
That debate coverage still pisses me off. Biden had just come back from a whirlwind international tour and was jetlagged and sick, attending a debate at like 10pm at night… and media managed to induce some kind of mass hallucination that biden was a decrepit old man who had no command of his faculties like some kind of dementia patient walking around with pants full of shit.
…2 mildly qualified women. Certainly not extremely
What is extremely qualified for that job by your standards? Like, name a person.
Bernies would’ve been a good example, no longer as he’s too old. Pritzker would’ve been. Anyone who doesn’t bend to the establishment.
People who follow security procedure would be pretty great too.
Hillary is so establishment entrenched it’s ridiculous. Harris did not have a spine enough to run her own campaign right. Those are what I feel make them less qualified for the office.
I don’t exactly go around looking at politicians to see if I think they’d be good as presidents …
Now that we don’t have to pretend that Biden is lucid, Sanders is conveniently too old now.
You think the guy who could never form a single coalition to pass any major legislation is a good choice?
No offense but that’s dumb.
Bernie has good politics but he’s a horrendous politician. Standing off to the side saying the right things, and never getting any legislation passed, is not being a leader. Part of politics is getting people on your side.
He tried to come in and tell everyone he wanted to be the team captain, while never playing a single inning for the team he was wanting to lead.
Are you shocked that people who played on that team didn’t want him to be the leader?
Bernie Sanders. AOC would make a good vice president for him, and after 8 years make a run of her own.
A former senator and secretary of state counts as extremely qualified by most standards
