“This is what it’s like to live in a de facto one-party state. No matter what the popular support for an issue is, the will of the voters is never reflected in policy, and no matter which party wins, the Republicans get almost everything they want.”
Democrats are not exactly like republicans, they are a compliment to them. They are not weak, they are ideologically committed. They are behaving exactly as you should expect people who believe deeply in this system to behave.

I feel it would be an Obama redux with the added depression of watching some DSA members defend “socialist” drone strikes
Impression of insincerity. Beyond that she is far too conciliatory to the establishment in a time where the average wine mom wants Chuck Schumer and Jeffries out on their ass. She, to me, hasn’t exhibited the pugilism needed for this moment. It’s not to late to change that but it needs to change
is not going to work. Further, she calls for the respect of Leahy laws in Munich, but this is incongruent with her support for the Iron Dome and defensive aid to Israel, which those same laws prohibit. She also exhibits a lack of confidence on these topics which gives the 2/3
This probably won’t play well on Bluesky but I’m saying it anyway. If AOC wants to win and not only win but be a transformative president, she has to get some better foreign policy thinkers to guide her. Matt Dussism that tries to marry woke NATO Atlanticism with a muddied anti-imperialism 1/3
“Life has taught me some hard lessons & the hardest of these is that not every story has a happy ending. Sometimes it’s just an ending.
So I don’t know, maybe it’s important to hang on to the improbable because at least it’s not this.”

I love that her hypothetical picks someone objectively worse than Trump to vote for. Really gives the game away.
Admitting that you’ll vote for someone worse than Trump if they have a D next to their name. We know!!!

“I believe that there are millions of Renee Goods & Alex Prettis in this country & I believe we’re stronger, braver & more steadfast any of these low rent Nazis.
I believe in you & I believe we can win.
We only need to decide.”

I knew this was going to happen and I really resent everyone that has acted as if it wasn’t even a real possibility
Call up the national guard then
Here’s the thing man: there’s already violence in the streets. You’re just saying it should only be on the side of the state.
People are quickly going to come to the conclusion that there’s only one thing left that they can do to fight back if they see that everyone in power has abandoned them

Bro 😭
I’ve never said there’s nothing you could do. Try reading a book and learning about the things you need to do when voting stops mattering. Your intellectual laziness is not my failing.
Sooooo what’s the “primary every Dem” solution to these people just doing whatever and installing a dictatorship?
The senate has approved four of this guy’s federal court appointees in the past 3 days. One of them got more than a dozen Democratic votes that weren’t even needed for confirmation.

This is a PSL candidate calling for an end to capitalism. I’m all in.
Andre Easton is a socialist candidate running to primary Ritchie Torres in NY-15. Watch the video.
The only antisemitism that’s real is the kind that also coincides with anti Israel opinions apparently
Doesn’t help that I’m reading the fort Bragg cartel right now which is like holy shit fuck the armed forces
Here’s a less objectionable source if you need one. Do not let JI polish its reputation.
Yeah I agree. I just think JI should be treated like a nazi rag and never sourced. They have no credibility.
No reason to trust his explanations or not question why he didn’t get it covered but I will take issue with lending any credibility to genocidal nazi rags.
