06.08.2025 21:49 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0I mean it was pretty obviously a choice to leak the story by Warren or someone in her camp, in an effort to hurt Bernie (why else?). Not sure how else Bernie was supposed to handle it (and his supporters, who for some reason when it comes to Bernie have a unique responsibility to act flawlessly lol)

06.08.2025 20:42 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0How was he directly responsible? Warren accused him of something that was almost certainly taken out of context from a private convo, he defended himself, she did the βyou called me a liarβ thing, the end. It felt cynical and an attempt to edge Bernie out of the progressive lane.
06.08.2025 20:25 β π 4 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Whatever βbend the kneeβ stuff was a result of enthusiasm with Bernie seemingly ahead and honestly catharsis (misplaced for sure) at finally being able to turn the tables on corporate/centrist Dems who love saying βbend the kneeβ when itβs in their favor. Itβs not like Bernie lost bc of that lol

Want someone to be mad at? Here's 5 Democrats who voted YES!

Roll Call vote showing the 5 Democrats, including Perez, who voted YEA on the Department of Defense Appropriations Act from July 2025
Why did you vote to keep funding Israel's genocide of Palestinians?

Governor Kathy Hochul quote tweets Trump's threat to arrest Mamdani: "I don't care if you're the President of the United States, if you threaten to unlawfully go after one of our neighbors, you're picking a fight with 20 million New Yorkers β starting with me"
Props to Gov. Hochul here, doing a hell of a lot more to defend Mamdani than most NY Dems.
