Politics involves deal making with bad people.
OK. But if your side has been disrespectful, you might have to make more concessions the next time there's a deal to be made.
If a political party presents voters with a "take it or leave it" ultimatum, some people on the receiving end of the ultimatum are going to decide that party is led by bad (immoral) people.
It looks like liberals are helping along "Conservatism", Trumpism & fascism for the purpose of extracting concessions from progressives, socialists & the Left (anti-imperialists, anti-racists, communists, etc).
The claim that "Conservatives" are such a threat that progressives, socialists & the Left have to make 100% of the concessions to liberals to maintain the Democratic Party coalition...
Is there evidence tge Democratic Party has learned from the re-emergence of Trumpism during Biden's first term and intends to do things differently in the next term?
"No one's pushing me out," leaves room for Biden to decide he's relinquishing the 2024 Democratic Party nomination.
It's certainly different than, "I am not resigning or stepping aside as the nominee, so everyone should be focused on using what we have (and have access to) to win."
And which Kamala Harris VP options should be included in the survey?
* Andy Beshear?
* Sherrod Brown?
* Julian Castro?
* Roy Cooper?
* Sharice Davids?
* Tammy Duckworth?
* Tim Kaine?
* Mark Kelly?
* Michelle Lujan Grisham?
* AOC?
* Peltola?
* Jared Polis?
* Elizabeth Warren?
The reason the Democratic Party doesn't attack disinformation is that the US National Security State both engages in disinformation and benefits from disinformation.
"Fixing stuff is somebody else's job. We're here to raise money on the problems. More problems ==> more fundraising. God bless America!"--the Democratic Party
Violence is a tool for conveying that one is serious about their politics. (See John Brown.)
Failure to use tools that are legal & available conveys that one's political rhetoric that one is expected to deliver but not serious about.
"Fixing stuff is somebody else's job. We're here to raise money on the problems. More problems ==> more fundraising. God bless America!"--the Democratic Party
the media, led by the Times, has done to Biden what they did to Claudine Gay at Harvard
there is no way to convince the public, because the people who he needs to convince to do that (the media) are never going to tell the public that he’s fine
I think dropping out is a when, not if at this point
Namor pontificating that he could help, but he needs to stay focused on other stuff as he wastes three hours pontificating on how surface people fail to see how everything fits together.
Democratic Party cheerleaders criticizing people for opting out of electoral politics?
Democratic Party aligned people killed off all the ways one can interface with democracy and have a say.
MoveOn? Negligible democracy.
DailyKos? Laughable
Democracy For America? Dead
Americans for Democratic Action? Death knell stage
Various 501(c)4 organized around issues that existed in 1990s: so small as to be irrelevant
The Democratic Party cheerleaders whining about people disengaging from politics should address the fact that Democratic Party major donors have killed off, neutered or reduced decision making to a few political insiders in a wide variety (all of them) Democratic Party aligned political orgs.
1. The problem is the system, not the Republicans.
2. The Democrats want to preserve the system.
3. To the extent the Republicans are a threat beyond the system, the Democrats (Biden) don't take effective action to the GOP bonus threat.
Did this explanation help?
“The President of the United States would be liable to be impeached, tried, and, upon conviction of treason, bribery, or other high crimes or misdemeanors, removed from office; and would afterwards be liable to prosecution and punishment in the ordinary course of law.” couldn’t be clearer!
Democrats knew Biden was a problem.
And Democratic Party leaders preferred replacing Biden at the convention to having a primary.
But remember! The Democratic Party is tge one to "save democracy".
I thought running a POTUS campaign meant you narrowcast job postings.
If you're at a state university, the law requires publicly posting a job.
But a political campaign?
Defending racism is a part of racism.
Zionism is racism.
Wanting to be the dominant political party based on votes from Black people can also be racism.
The NYT is racist.
There was an even bigger difference in the comments received. All on Threads and all but one here were positive, constructive, or neutral (one person was just being a jerk, not a troll). Only 18% on X were positive or neutral. The rest were negative, many highly so.
Oh hi, folks. Forgot to remind everyone that the new PTO/sick day policy went into affect in Chicago on Monday. If you work in Chicago, you get 40 hours of both (80 hours total). This is pretty awesome.
