Democrats are taking a stand in the budget battle on healthcare cuts. While an important issue, if Democrats were really interested in defending democracy & civil liberties or stopping genocide, shouldn't these also be among their demands?

A government shutdown looks inevitable. Too bad that doesn't mean that the entire MIC shuts down with a halt in US military action and the wars the US funds, including Israeli genocide in Gaza.

If Democratic donors want to stop Trump & have a party which can regain the confidence of voters they need to stop giving money to the establishment & find candidates who support reform. The article gives examples of donors backing the status quo but also of support for Mamdani.

Just like the disaster we have now. Just like Biden/Harris (like Clinton in 2016) set us up for this disaster, Harris would have set us up for worse. Reasoning with Democrats sure has not worked with Biden/Harris. No, genocide is no different from what we would have seen if Harris won.

Harris' book tour shows what a disaster she'd have been as president. Like Biden she would have supported genocide & pulled Democrats further to the right. Democrats would lose a huge number of Congressional seats & we would have a far right wing Republican president in 2028.

The Jimmy Kimmel blackout is completely over: Nexstar and Sinclair back down | CNN Business Sinclair and Nexstar, the two major station groups that preempted the talk show earlier this month, are allowing the show to return to their ABC-affiliated stations on Friday evening.

Both Sinclair and Nexstar have backed down and are carrying Kimmel. All ABC affiliates now airing Kimmel contradicts right wing claims that Kimmel was taken off due to poor ratings. It was purely an attempt at censorship by Trump.

I've had 2 BlueMAGA trolls this week with a couple of bad arguments. One defended Obama for bombing multiple countries saying he did not start any new wars. Wrong. Regardless of whether a new war is declared, bombing another country is an act of war. So are economic sanctions & financing proxy wars.
