the Democratic establishment is finally rallying around progressive Abdul El-Sayed,
“Finally” as in almost 3 months ago?
Literally as soon as we’d want the party endorsing any candidate, because any earlier would have been during the primary.
Like, “the democratic establishment” is literally the DNC…
Neoliberals have a problem with Muslims…
We’re coasting off “leadership” (in regards to elected representatives) because they were elected in Jamie Harrison’s last days of running the DNC.
They’ve been lame ducks this entire congress, and have virtually no chance of retaining their leadership positions in January.
The next congress won’t have a biased DNC threatening to bankrupt their home state parties if they don’t toe the line on votes.
What’s crazy is I haven’t seen a single comment from the actual dude who’s running…
Like not even a “no comment”, I haven’t seen a single journalist that even tried to reach out to ask him why he’s running and if anyone recruited him just for his name.
“It’s just Mad Max on water.”
Counter point:
It’s Mad Max, on water!
But to get the DNC on board would be tricky
Why?
The current chair said he wants a presidential candidate like Mamdani, both in regards to policy and charisma…
And he said that right after Mamdani won his primary, when people didn’t think he’d win the general…
So why do you think the same DNC wouldn’t support AOC?
Oddly enough, it is reading comprehension that’s the issue, I just don’t know if you’re American or not…
can you tell me why you spend so much time saying voting is pointless and people on the left should never vote?
You said voting is pointless and people who think it will work will be disappointed, meaning it won’t work:
I mean, sure, go vote. Can’t hurt, probably.
But if you’re expecting it to fix anything, because it did in completely different countries, with vastly different histories and corcumstances… you’re in for some serious disappointment.
If that’s not what you meant. Then what do you think your comment means?
But you’re already just resorting to insults, in all honesty I’m probably going to just block you instead of replying if this doesn’t turn around soon
The thing is, there’s “national DSA” they’re the ones who didn’t endorse AOC and are apparently full of Maoists…
Then there’s a shit ton of “local” DSA’s, and the one in NYC kept endorsing her.
The national seems to want to latch onto to the popularity of anyone remotely socialist, and then if that politician doesn’t do everything the Maoists want, they try to co-opt their popularity and throw them under the bus.
Anyways, that’s how you end up with “the DSA” doing great things, and doing absolutely mindless shit like telling people AOC is conservative and people shouldn’t vote.
It’s not one solid organization. And large parts of it are run by idiots
Welp, guess it’s time to accept you can’t understand this.
Best of luck with your life
I mean, sure, go vote. Can’t hurt, probably.
But if you’re expecting it to fix anything, because it did in completely different countries, with vastly different histories and corcumstances… you’re in for some serious disappointment.
I’m about to give up on you understanding this…
We seize their money.
If they resist with violence, and we have to respond with violence.
That’s more criminal charges against them
You’re still operating under the premise that the billionaires are always right.
If we’re seizing our stolen wealth back from them, there’s no violence unless they start it. If they fight hard enough they die…
That’s not murder, it’s just not.
Stop fucking acting like the clock starts with us taking the money back, they’re hoarding stolen wealth, if they raise the stakes to violence to keep it, that’s the same as a bank robber shooting at cops.
They’re committing more crimes to keep their stolen wealth
What don’t you understand?
So…
When the medical community called any form of lgbtq a mental illness…
You agreed with them?
Because they’re doctors?
Just blind obedience and zero thinking on your own behalf?
That must be so relaxing …
You called it gender affirming care
Yes…
That implies gender dysphoria
No.
Really not complicated
I don’t think you understand how numbers work…
There’s less than 1,000 billionaires, there’s like 330,000,000 Americans
That’s 1 billionaire against 330,000 Americans…
Do you have any idea how many guns 330,000 random Americans have?
No one implied it did…
Or didn’t…
No one even brought up gender dysphoria or body dysmorphic disorder…
Did you mean to reply to someone else? Because there’s a weird trend of people doing what you just did and claiming I said wild shit I clearly didn’t.
Like, my comment is right there…
Most of the people taking them get really upset when you explain how broad “peptides” are, and what they’re actually doing is hormone therapy to make their physical body identify math their mental perception of who they are…
They’re not transitioning, but they’re still undergoing gender affirming hormone therapy.
For one thing there will be no Jan. 6 event in 2027. That’s for the President and Vice president election.
The newly elected Congress people will be sworn in and take their seats on Jan. 3, 2027
Ok Rick James…
Blocking democrats from reaching the chamber is not going to confer any legitimacy on the resulting proceedings.
First, Congress was and still is fiercely protective of its speech and debate privilege from arrest.
Oh…
My bad, I fucking forgot trump always follows the rules and what courts say, you’re right, he’d never do something he’s not supposed to and try to get away with it
Constitutional amendments need 3/4 of state legislatures to agree after 2/3 of both chambers. Good luck with that.
Yeah buddy, no way that if they succeed in capturing a federal majority thru arresting political opponemts, there’s no way they’d be emboldened enough to arrest sitting political opponents at the state level…
Surely I’m over-reacting, there’s no way Donald J Trump and a bunch of boot licking fascists would ever do something they’re not allowed to just to seize power.
/S
This is the time to buy guns, and do a bunch of other shit to be prepared.
You have no fucking clue how fast shit would move if that starts, and he’s fucking already raiding the homesnof elected House Representatives in DC
Fucking do it.
Everyone in the Federal government hates Cruz, it’s been the one issue everyone agrees on across the aisle
If trump puts Cruz on the SC, it virtually guarantees a 2/3 majority to drastically overhaul the SC, and motivate everyone to get it done, just to get rid of Cruz.
I guarantee that if some idiot walked in live streaming, they’d just let them vote and get them out the door.
Hell, two idiots literally did that while dressed as Muslims and doing horrible fake accents like a week or two ago for early voting. They’re getting felonies because they just kept early voting under other people’s names, but they filmed the whole fucking thing including intros that said they’re doing election fraud. And then put it online.
It’s literally the article you’re commenting on…
But what’s even crazier to me is people just assume any of these rules will be enforced.
There’s an absolutely huge difference between:
Not allowed to do that
Someone stopping you from doing that
And by 2026 we should all understand that, because that’s the game the wealthy and powerful have been playing for generations.
It’s bigger than selfies while voting, our next president needs to operate under “try and stop me” if they want any kind of shot at fixing stuff.
And the way these always work, is every round of offers increases. One lone holdout can end up getting as much as the first 100 who sold combined.
I mean…
I thought it was pretty clear that starts with lowball offers…
But that’s just me overestimating people again
Fucking crazy how many people don’t understand what commitment is…
You don’t need to be committed to a constant, commitment comes when constant effort is required. The commitment is putting the effort in, no matter what, especially when more needs to be done.
