lol yep the elections are 100% getting cooked 🫠

Get the fuck out of here with that idiocy, dude. What the fuck are you on about.

Uh, no, this is much less of a “union feud”, and much more of a “Newsom found some useful idiots”:

Part of California’s labor movement wants to tax billionaires to save health care for 15 million Californians. Another part, close to Gov. Gavin Newsom, doesn’t — and is promoting suspiciously timed charges of abuse about a pro-tax union leader.

This is just good ol’ Gavin being a neoliberal corporatist fuckass.

Because two years ago, she was the frontwoman of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

When Biden flamed out, there was an opportunity to chart a clear course away from the imbecilic positions and sound bytes of the DNC’s establishment and political consultant class. Instead, she toed the line, and lost. Not to mention, voter turnout tanked because she was just offering more of the same, instead of actually making any attempt to iterate and improve on any of Biden’s positions.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, should kill his candidacy for 2028. But I’m not sure the DNC will heed that warning.

This also aligns with the regime’s stated desire to unblock F-35 sales to Turkey, despite the fact that their Russian S-400 systems will without a doubt be collecting data on exactly what an F-35 looks like to an S-400 and firing that back to servers somewhere in Russia.

But hey, who fucking cares about strategic military secrets when you can make a quick buck instead?

The degree to which WaPo is so pointedly avoiding the fact that association with AIPAC has become categorically toxic is mildly astounding. It’s the reason Markey (my senator, who is very old, but doesn’t take AIPAC cash, though his challenger did) won over his challenger, and IMO it’s one of the major reasons Vindman lost his bid.

Anyone who is shocked - hell, even mildly surprised - by this is a complete fucking imbecile, at best.

Lmfao he doesn’t even realize he’s digging his hole deeper at breakneck pace

lol I can’t wait to see how the DCCC/DNC establishment manages to fuck this up.

Honestly, this really is starting to look like the death of a political party.

I hope the GOP goes through a similar collapse/restructure (with or without a name change - an ideological shift away from fascism is what matters) where the less insane conservatives move away from their overtly authoritarian leadership… but honestly, my estimation of the average mental acuity, devotion to (small d) democracy, and antipathy towards fascism of conservatives isn’t really that generous. So who fucking knows, maybe they’ll just be overt fascists going forward? Idk.

But anyways, I’m loving that the Democratic base is shifting so wildly to the left. It’s a fantastic change. We’ll just have to see if the party itself can get out of its own way and stop scoring own-goals.

Point of order:

It’s not really horrifying, I’d say, because that would require at least a bit of shock and surprise. It’s just predictably evil.

Oh right, The Other Guys, I forgot about them for a moment

progressive politics

Hey so uh, Newsom is a status quo corporatist neoliberal political opportunist shitbag. If the DNC anoints him as The Chosen One in a couple years (assuming elections are still a thing), we are so fucking cooked, chat.

The lying liars who lie are consistently surprised that other people know how to lie too

Can you post a link…?

Hey, if I see a plainclothes anyone doing anything like this - I’m demanding badges and screaming for uniformed police or security to get the fuck over here, right now.

Man, legacy media sure is doing some incredible gymnastics to avoid using the terms “concentration camp” and “ethnic cleansing”.
