Since the AP got kicked out over the "Gulf of America" bullshit, we haven't really had one. Just a bunch of aspiring court jesters.

A Sirius channel of 10 minute tracks would be nice.

Hmm. β€œIt wasn’t the socialism the voters responded to, it’s just that voters want socialist things.”

He’s still part of the problem.

Like other conservatives (and they *are* conservatives in the only sense that matters re. power over others, over themselves), they see themselves as entitled to rule the Democratic Party and will brook no objection or dissent. They will gatekeep until their fences or walls are torn down.

Why Burkean conservatism doesn't deliver any reforms at all for most people.

And this quote highlights the complete hypocrisy of "reform" through Burkean conservatism:

Kwame Ture (Stokely Carmichael) offers a diagnosis of the Democratic Party that remains true today. The party could not then & cannot now offer both liberation & a continuation of existing inequalities & systems of repression. That path of "compromise" only leads to fascist consolidation.

πŸ”₯Respect to Jasmine Crockett, a true fighter & fierce voice for accountability. She’s raised millions, mobilized the base, and never shied away from confrontation.

But here’s a warning: Dems in Congress better start backing the real fighters or risk alienating the base.

Glad to see Van Hollen choosing to oppose racism. More Democrats should try it!

The old guard was, and has, always pissed themselves. In 2016, in 2020, and now in 2025.

Let them be politically incontinent.

I feel your pain. I'm also tired of the "heads I win; tails, you lose," political economy of this country.

I think David Rothkopf is spot on in this regard:

Liberal can't be conflated with progressive or even left anymore. The Institutional Democratic Party is essentially moderate GOP now, at war with its own base.
