This was already happening…
I forget which vote, but he voted the opposite of how he was supposed to and a bunch of aids had to jump in.
They just yelled at him to vote the other way, didn’t even attempt to explain what was happening.
There’s an army of staffers running our government thru geriatric puppets.
Then you’re almost definitely talking about neoliberals, who have controlled the party in a year and a half
It is time to show up proudly as Jews, as New Yorkers, and as Zionists.”
The KKK proudly showed up as Christians, Southerners, and violent racists…
A couple things like religion and location don’t cancel out the whole “kill people for being different” thing
You think thing would be the same if Republicans didn’t control every aspect of the federal government?
There’s gonna be a lot of neoliberals telling progressives to give up on the party, because the neoliberals only hope of taking the party back is depressing Dem turnout.
And they’re willing to do that
It’s about to get a lot worse now that the Houthis have Bab al-Mandab Strait too.
And it’s not just them, all the Iranian backed militias have been cross training for the last decade.
I’ve been thinking for a while it’s going to get really really bad right before midterms. Iran knows if Dems get control they’ll reign trump in. They’ll 100% manipulate gas prices to influence the election, especially since Trump burnt thru reserves already
We’re not far off from seizing assets of billionaires…
And the easiest place to get people to start, is the sports stadiums people already paid for.
It would drastically drive down not just ticket prices but also everything inside. Everyone would get on board for that, and when it works, people will be open to more.
Is it guaranteed? Obviously not
But what the fuck is the point of making this about an aging popstar?
If he never played another concert what would that actually solve?
What’s crazy is how everyone wants to blame an aging popstar instead of the billionaire NFL owners who are able to cancel stadium shows at stadiums taxpayers paid for…
Like, everyone involved said it’s Bob Kraft who made the decision, but no one reads past a fucking headline.
Bernie’s been a senator for 20 years, most of it while neoliberals controlled the party…
Anyone shocked he’s pragmatic and willing to work with people he despises if that’s what it takes hasn’t been paying attention, like, at all.
Like, the “we can never fall behind” doesn’t make any sense for a country, shit, look at China. They were behind for a long time and they caught up, catching up is a hell of a lot easier than always maintaining a lead no matter.
Corporations tho, they can’t fall behind. Because the system is supposed to be a string of rises and falls of corporations to drive innovation, if not then on a long enough timeline they cannibalize each other. And were left with a handful of corps who literally can’t fail because it would take everything with them.
Those corps can’t compete with “new” corps from other countries who faced the “evolutionary pressure” to compete in capitalism.
The longer countries prop up corporations, the worse the inevitable fall is. If it’s bad enough it’ll just eventually take the whole country with them.
Like, we’ve been seeing it with the auto industry for decades, we have all types of regulations to protect their products, because they can’t keep up with productions from other countries.
If someone ever opens the floodgates of Chinese EVs or AIs, it’ll suck short term for American corporations, but then in a few years/decades, we’d see new ones that can compete. It’s cyclical.
When we stop the cycle it doesn’t save corporations, it just spreads the pain out to everyone to delay the death of a corporation and we all pay the cost.
When shit is too big to fail, it meanss we need a controlled demolition, at least that way we control when it fails.
Because “Democrats” is vague, it’s the DNC:
The Association of State Democratic Committees (ASDC), an arm of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), plans to train volunteers across 57 states and territories. It hopes to train volunteers for 25% of the nation’s 95,000 election day polling places, focusing on districts with competitive races.
These volunteers will wear blue vests to provide a visible presence intended to counter any voter intimidation, including by federal agents. Each state party has a trained election protection director.
I’ll never understand why people think a party controlling politicians is ideal…
Voters should control politicians, and especially for Senators recall votes should be a thing
Always happy to help someone who can’t use a search engine.
Once
I mean, the supposed shooter was legitimately further to the right of Kirk…
I’m just pointing out that a lot of inexplicable shit happened immediately after he died.
Is it most likely he was shot by a rifle? Absolutely.
But we don’t actually know that’s what happened.
He died a year ago this week, shot to death while speaking at Utah Valley University.
There’s been zero investigation…
And stuff like immediately repaving the concrete before law enforcement looked at it as a crime scene, is weird enough we shouldn’t just assume he was shot.
Like, they could have treated it as a normal investigation and people would be able to trust it. But after the shit they immediately pulled, there’s always going to be a shred of doubt that his microphone had a bomb or something else.
Dude was breaking from Trump on Israel, obviously America’s and Israel’s current governments arent above assassinating a streamer.
but I also would prefer the democrats put forward more progressive candidates
Buddy…
Every comment you make, shows you don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about.
The party shouldn’t pick any candidate, the fact that they were was the problem.
Why the fuck don’t you ask questions instead of a constant string of wrong information?
Do you think any of the shit you e been saying is actually true or how any of this works?
Then you don’t understand how bad the party was under neoliberalism from 1991-2025, and you just assume that was actually trying or that the party went in a different direction with the 2025 chair election.
Like, if you ignore everything, obviously it’s not going to make sense.
If you pay attention to what happened and what is happening, you wouldn’t spend your free time shitting on the best and only chance to save the country…
Unless you were a trump supporter or neoliberal despite to depress dem turnout to stop progressives
Between fixing those issues and repairing all the damage Trump (and his acomplices) have done, the USA has decades of work to do.
If you think that, you need to look back on how fast FDR fixed shit, and how the only thing that stopped him from doing more, is people not following up by flushing incumbents holding back progress.
Back then the average person didn’t have the same outreach. Social media means people can actually organize and hear how things are going. That’s why oligarchs keep gobbling up social media and flooding it with bots.
They’re fucking scared.
Because Republicans have both majorities and the presidency…
Our system sucks, but it used to be functional, and can be again.
Obviously one of the first things to do once it’s functional, is improve the system and put in protections to stop this from happening again.
Like, everyone complains about the electoral college, but we could just get rid of it and make the presidency a straight popular vote. But the real problem, is a president was never meant to have this much power in the first place. They’re supposed to be an essentially powerless ambassador.
No real power, just the person we said can speak on our behalf in situations where there’s just a single seat at a table for America
Congress can basically make “non wars” into wars for benefits.
OEF and OIF cover post 9/11 up to like 2010 in most of the middle east.
It could be fixed right now, but trump and the Republicans won’t.
But the real solution has always been giving everyone the benefits disabled vets get
What’s another two months?
