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.

The Democratic Party didn't hold a primary so party insiders could either get Biden or have full control of the replacement nominee decision.

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?

You're telling people how to make their case by saying the standard liberal "don't break with the Democrats" arguments are (and should be) credible.

"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."

The reason the Democratic Party doesn't attack disinformation is that the US National Security State both engages in disinformation and benefits from disinformation.

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.

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

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?

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.
