I mean, don’t vote for them…
But not voting for anyone else with a D by their name because of these asshats, is just going to let these asshats take over the party.
Most Americans don’t get to vote in any election that has any of them on a ballot.
The article still misses the entire point…
It focuses on what kind of candidate the party should push. When what’s been working is the party staying out of it, and just letting the voters pick the candidate they want in fair primaries.
I mean…

They’ve got the 8th highest amount of billionaires world wide of any city.
Per capita I think Jackson Hole Wyoming is the highest, due to multiple homes and cheap state tax. So everyone makes their luxury cabin out their their main residence.
But San Francisco kind of makes as the last place neoliberalsmwouldnhold onto.
And the thing is, if that’s as left as they can go, that shouldn’t be a problem. Because 99.99999% of the rest of the country isn’t obscenely wealthy and legitimately six months away from being a billionaire most of their career if they get lucky on an IPO.
They can get on the bus, they just shouldn’t be anywhere near the steering wheel.
The San Francisco Democratic Party voted 17–4 to oppose Proposition 40—with five members abstaining, five members absent, and one member with no endorsement. Nancy Pelosi chose not to endorse the measure. This comes just weeks after the California Democratic Party endorsed the measure in August after a contentious vote that succeeded above the 60% threshold.
People are shocked San Fran still has neoliberals?
That’s actually pretty good results for this tiny slice of America.
Especially since the state party is behind it, who cares what San Fran says?
Why it’s different this time, is the DNC is going to keep supporting progressives instead of sabatoging them
Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin also made clear the party will stand with Nixon.
“As an accomplished state representative and union organizer, Angie Nixon has dedicated herself to fighting for working families,” he said. “Floridians have chosen a proven leader with the experience and vision to lower costs, expand access to healthcare, make childcare and housing more affordable, fight for workers, protect public education, and deliver results for families across the Sunshine State. The DNC is ready to help elect Angie and work together to flip this seat, win the Senate majority, and deliver for all Floridians.”
It’s all progressives ever needed, a party that actually wants to win elections.
It won’t pass the Senate and is an insanely stupid thing to do before midterms…
Jefferies is just trying to rehab his image.
Don’t trust him
That argument is so stupid, but the fact that only 4 house members signed it is a good sign.
That’s like 2% of Dem House reps.
The only thing that makes socialism or even communism corrupt, is if corrupt people are running it.
Neoliberals and Republicans say it will definitely be corrupted, because they lack the empathy to understand not everyone is corrupt like they are. They rationalize their own corruption by saying anyone will do it.
Jefferies wants them too.
He wants “restraints” the same way Nixon created the EPA…
An agency with teeth was close to forming, so Nixon made one that couldn’t enforce anything, so he could say we already had one.
Don’t trust neoliberals tonreign in big tech.
A lot of neoliberals are suddenly going to start “supporting” what they used to call too extreme, but it’s just because they’re hoping to retain their seats and toss out enough breadcrumbs the movement doesn’t have enough momentum for real change.
Leave the current SC on the bench for 40 years and adding a couple to balance them out isn’t the solution.
We need a way to remove the rot, not just throw more apples on top of the rot.
We really need to stop saying “flock”…
And start saying “automated 24/7 surveillance”
Or it’s gonna end up like when the Colt AR15 was banned and then a hundred other companies produced them…
Or how the only guy that can’t legally sell the Hoffman Super Selecter (makes a semiauto AR essentially full auto) is Steve Hoffman the guy who created it and made it available without a patent.
Legislating brand names is a waste of time, and I feel like Republicans are trying to get involved to “compromise” to keep something identical or even worse, just not called Flock.
The staffer posted a picture of himself in KKK robes…
But says it’s ok, because he didn’t actually put them on, just intentionally made an AI image of himself in KKK robes…
Like, that somehow make it’s worse, I think? And definitely doesn’t somehow prove he’s not actually in the KKK.
It’s like he just heard “it’s AI” as a defense, and just didn’t understand at all what the point was…
Ultimately, the two candidates have similar policy views on data centers, as a piece in Vox laid out last week. Neither one has called for a moratorium on building them, as Hong did. Tiffany has called for rolling back a state subsidy on data centers, which Crowley hasn’t matched, but otherwise the candidates are aligned on the issue, calling for local control over construction and environmental standards to protect natural resources.
A governor kicking the can down the road for local governments isn’t the end of the world, and still an improvement.
He’d get more votes supporting a state wide ban. But anyone advocating not to vote D because they have the same policy on a single issue as the R candidate is just ignoring literally every other policy…
It doesn’t matter where you preach, it matters what you preach…
And he has decades of sermons and podcasts online for anyone to check what his positions have been.
I know next to nothing about him, but from what I’ve seen politicians like him are going to be instrumental in passing a progressive platform thru Congress.
We need those seats, we need any seat that we can fill with someone who supports progressive policy.
The Tyson beef plant that just got shutdown in the Midwest is going to fuck Republicans…
Not because of the 2-3k workers, not because of the increased price consumers pay.
But all the livestock owners who suddenly have nowhere near to slaughter cattle at scale are fucked. Couple that with flooding the market with Argentinian beef, and a lot of Republican voters are going to stay home for midterms.
They might not admit to themselves they want Republicans to lose majorities, and they’ll likely spend the next two years bitching about Dems. But a lot of them just won’t find the time to vote when they’re getting fucked this blatantly
He is closer to them, but he is not them and if he was he wouldn’t have any chance at all more than likely.
What are you even rambling about?
This guy is closer to Bernie and AOC than a lot of politicians from blue states…
That’s the entire point…
Trump also denied reports that Canada pulled out of trade negotiations over the weekend over crazy last-minute demands from Trump administration officials such as changing Quebec’s French-language protections.
I could 100% believe trump or one of his idiots tried to make that demand.
But if he didn’t, and Ford just made that shit up, I 100% support that tactic.
Every other country should just do the same shit to trump at the same time.
I want to hear Aussies saying they can’t deal with trump because he demanded the legally define any blade over 3 inches as a sword and not a knife.
I want England to say he wants them to ban beans on toast.
Germany to say he wants to force all beer to be non alcoholic.
Italians saying he wants to ban gluten.
Flood the zone with so much shit he’s constantly on the defensive and doesn’t have the energy to start actual wars or even trade wars.
Keep the baby distracted till midterms and maybe we can get rid of him thru congress. Or at least get him in check somewhat.
Republicans care about the opinions of drug addict single mothers now?

Lil JD is still just looking for a Daddy that won’t run off in a couple years, I really won’t be surprised if he tries to change his name to trump for 2028
