Seniority went out with the 50s. Merit is what counts.

Chuck Schumer needs to be out of there.

Except it’s not the base, it’s the donors.

But it only comes after an official denial!

In a normal democracy, a total collapse of party leadership would result in an no-confidence vote and immediate snap elections to find leaders who can lead

What went wrong for the Greens in the Australian election? The Greens lost three seats and a leader at the 2025 federal election. Here’s how it happened

Maybe it was a redistribution and three cornered contests not a lack of credibility.

I’ve worked on organisations like that - they start to believe their own bullshit.

How about why Mamdani won is because everyone is tired of tepid, politically safe policies?

Like from Labor.

He could have done better, but at least he fought, and was loud enough to give Labor the shits. Greens are totally MIA now.

I call on the Australian government to #RaiseTheRate of all support payments to a living wage.
This would be the single most effective way to lift the productivity, quality of life, and well-being of the whole country.

Yep disagree on both your points. No one is calling Labor out now.

We now have a very good example of an LNP government would do if they were competent.

Say what you like about Adam Bandt - he was good in Opposition.

Europeans recognize Zohran Mamdani’s supposedly radical policies as β€˜normal’ Critics of New York City’s mayor-elect have said his pledges of free bus service and universal childcare are unrealistic, but in Europe it’s a given

Europeans about Mamdani:

β€œNormal. That’s the word,” Verbeek wrote in his newsletter, The Planet. β€œHere, taking care of one another through public programs isn’t radical socialism. It’s Tuesday.”

I expect they will increase their prices to cover it. I’ll stick with my battery thanks.

I think the Dems need to get behind some key leaders and present a united front around a simple message. But too many of them are part of the same company-bought group as the Republicans.

Please share: Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn’t want you to know her opponent’s name. That’s how desperate she is to keep her seat.

I’m Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, and farmer. I’m running against her. Join me live now:
