Yep the leopards will feast on those faces. Trump voters who this hits are probably the ones closest to getting what they deserve and holding responsibility for what is happening.
The harm really is like karmic justice.
The people I really feel empathy for is all those who did not vote for this.

3/ One has to build a core that has the mass that centrists will buy in. More a coalition of the left (Mamdani like). And look, if Mamdani does well, centrists will join, because he will be the status quo.
Centrists are not dependable allies. (Which is why they are centrists). They flop.

2/ The idea that they are at all close to the changes Sanders would be for, is largely a mirage.
Like their support for Biden vanished to be against him (who they were nominally closer to than Sanders).
If one likes Sanders, the key is reaching those closer than centrists.

1/The problem with centrists is that they are largely transactional and largely ok with the status quo. They are the sort of people who buy in after something has already reached a critical mass.
They don't like Trump's change, and they are only closer to Sanders in stopping that.

"The Republican Party is an organized conspiracy for the purposes of maintaining power for self-interest, and the self-interest of its donor class ... Itโs no longer dedicated to American democracy."

And it isn't journalism, just propaganda. And should be treated as such. Time's person of is an ad for ai, nothing more. The fact that it isn't reported as an ad should make it deceptive advertising and against the law.

No executive order should exist without statutory rationale attached to it. Which should also be the only basis for a defense of it if challenged in the courts.

The Colorado Democratic Party can rot in hell if it blacklists primary challenges.
That is anti-democratic and against the ideals of democracy. But if you are sold out to corrupt corporations this is exactly how to behave.
We need better than these people.

Can't say I have ever been a fan of the G7 structure, but this doesn't improve things at all. Africa and South America still shafted, but let's just add in all of Europe.
And try to ignore economic power needed as part of any serious conversations.
But then that is idiocracy is the point here.

The Republicans have lost any thread to morality. And are engaged in an active extralegal campaign of hate and abuse.
Although true as to funding, I try not draw direct parallels at this point to Republicans because they are different.
I still feel Dems have better angels to appeal to.

Most Dems in office don't care what people think. They care about what donors think, and what marketers tell them people think. They don't engage with people except through advertisements run through marketers and donors. That includes post put up here by most Dems

The corporate Dems who run the Democratic Party are the Dixiecrats of today.
They aren't for a party of the people, by the people, a for the people. They are corporate donors with special access.
Until those Dems are replaced there will be no improvement in that party.

Pro-primaries.
I hate the way the Denver Post, like most so-called news organizations, prioritize the incumbent as being challenged instead of both running for the position. Incumbency doesn't give a right to office.
But so much reporting assumes so.

Trump only finds it a problem because it wasn't taken over by the far right. That is his problem. But CNBC would never put that in a headline.
