Wow. Theyre doubling down? Fucking idiots.
United States | News & Politics
At this point they're quadrupuling down. Not our first rodeo, brochacho
They and most of their constituents are tripping down
Bernie isn’t spewing bullshit. Jaime Harrison can fuck off.
This is the second time this has happened. Democrats in the 50s-60s realized they could get votes in the North by not being racist, while Republicans at the same time realized they could get votes in the South by being racist. It just really shows that neither side really cares all that much, it’s mostly a show for political gain.
Sounds like something a loser would say.
You know what could prove him wrong? Maybe electing a president? Or winning the house? Or the Senate?
Oh, I mean surely if what he is saying is such bullshit you guys got at least 2/3 of these right?
Are you sure they are committed to losing and not committed to trying to win by adopting republican tactics?
It's the same picture
Quadrupling down is a bold move, DNC. Let's see if it pays off.
Can we lose to Trump a third time? We shall see!
They will try
In this timeline, Dems will endorse and successfully help pass a repeal of the 22nd Amendment so they can run against Trump again (because he's so beatable!) and still lose.
Spoiler alert, it won't. They were already alienating their base by playing the "both sides" card.
Fucking piece of shit.
He later served as a lobbyist for the Podesta Group.[4][11] His clients at the Podesta Group included banks, such as Bank of America and Wells Fargo, Berkshire Hathaway,[12] pharmaceutical companies,[13] casinos, the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity, and Walmart,[14] among others.[15] In addition to lobbying work at Podesta Group, he has also lobbied on behalf of United Way Worldwide and the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities.[6]
the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity
I bet they're allied with the American Association of Promoting Women's Rights and Rape.
Harrison has reportedly chosen not to seek to stay on as DNC chair but his dismissal of Sanders’s statement provoked anger of its own, including from the reporter and columnist Glenn Greenwald. “You and the corporatist and militarist party you lead just got your ass kicked all up and down the US, because Americans see that you only care about enriching yourselves at the corporate lobbying trough,” Greenwald wrote. “If the humiliation you just suffered doesn’t usher in some humility and self-reflection, nothing will.”
-rarely do I read an article and genuinely think "man, that guy got slammed." as the rhetoric typically suggests, but wholly hell did Harrison get slammed.
You absolutely do not have to hand it to Greenwald, but he really did rise to the stopped-clock moment here...
No way, Democrats have to pivot more to the right, surely that help, right? …right?
It has helped exactly 0 times in the past, why wouldn't it work this time?
There is no home for progressives in the Democratic Party. At this point the only hope is to go independent like Sanders or join one of the third parties and abandon Democrats entirely. Democrats will never learn.
"We have the perfect candidate lined up for 2028! We've recruited Dr.Frankenstein and in a world first we've resurrected both Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan, stitched them together, and they will be the new face of the Democratic party! Vote for us or you're racist and just want Donald Trump to win!"
Marx and Lenin continue to be vindicated by the passage of time.
No, the Democrats will not shift left. Their donors would rather they lose to republicans than win on a more progressive platform, and as such will not shift left.
No, we cannot "elect good democrats" to shift the party to the left. The DNC is an organization that has perfected itself as an anti-radical filter. Those who can fundraise well are elevated to the top, those who speak up against injustice are shunned and whipped.
We must actively organize outside the DNC and pressure the system. I keep an intro to Marxism-Leninism list I can link if anyone wants it, let me know.
I do.
Here it is, Cowbee's "Read Theory, Darn It!" beginner reading list. All except one work has an audiobook alternative linked, otherwise there are text links directly to said works. It starts off with foundations, then builds on said foundations, ending with some practical advice on how to conduct yourself as a Leftist in general. I also include intersectional theory regarding trans and enby liberation, gay rights and history, and decolonialism.
Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions!
That's awesome. Thank you. I will need that audio. I have head injury from a bike/car accident a few years ago. I can't read any more than two pages before my memory drops everything i just read about %50 of the time. That's how i "read" Gary Webb's biography not long ago!
Sorry to hear that, that's awful. I'm happy that audiobooks still work for you, though!
Just a reminder people who can't beat Lindsay Graham aren't worth listening to electorally.
To be fair, in South Carolina, Jesus could run as a Democrat and somehow lose to Lindsey Graham with likely voters.
This is what I'm saying here, it's time to blow up the Democratic Party. It's already done like 2/3 of the work for us. Blow it up.
