So, does Canada do the European Red/Blue or the US Red/Blue.

And if the US Red/Blue....

Canada. Buddy. WHY?!?!

I mean, you do you, but navel-gazing through the entire process then complaining about the end results in November is just being lazy. IDC how you try to affect change, but doing nothing is never going to fix anything

Change happens when many people do many things but all push in the same direction

We have primaries where we can get more progressive candidates past the "semifinals " (primaries) including in influential non-representative roles (County Committee Chair). Why people miss any opportunity to influence change is beyond me. I'd rather take the shot and miss, than not do anything

So, one think I do forget is not every State is a closed primary state, and all of my advise assumes that

To be clear, you CANNOT vote in Democrat primaries (which is where the change happens) if you are not registered Democrat in a closed primary state, That's why the strategy is to join the Party

@democrats.org Imagine being so transparent that you take bribes from another country cc: @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and then try to frame yourselves as "representatives" of your voters.

Not spouse, but my mom is MAGA.

She's also 85, and has brought cognitive dissonance to a level I did not think a human being can attain.

But at 85, we just...don't talk politics. We have enough we can talk about, and when she asks me to troubleshoot her computer, I quietly block the MAGA stuff.

Honestly, I did not expect Cook to step down until after 2028.

What kills me is I used to have these. When French press started to be a thing, we got a set - the pot and 4 glasses, just like this.

We lost the set over time.

Also, a lot of the glasses used on B5 were actual hospitality-priced Luminarc glasses.

You can't push @democrats.org Left of where they are entrenched.

But you can scare the daylights out of career politicians.

A career politician will completely reinvent themselves if they need the optics to maintain power.

The ratchet is AIPAC. You can only break $uperPAC influence with numbers

Thank you for your courage to publicly address abusive language.

Not only did the bird learn water displacement, but also learned how many stones to get the water high enough. I notice the bird picks up more stones on subsequent attempts.

I cannot believe I typed MLK wrong. What the hell. I deeply apologize. No disrespect was intended. It's MLK's warning which defines how I judge the policies of any representative. That's my litmus

I prefer the presence of justice, even in the face of discomfort. I despise the comfortable lie

Schumer is insufferable, and I criticized him multiple times about his putting Israel above his constituents (which, in my mind, should disqualify him from ever holding office). I think all the neoliberals in Congress need to go. Their day is done.

That's Phase 2.

Phase 1 is defeat the fascists.

In before, because I know the salty folks are going to rage abt me being a Centris apologist. I am not. I think Centrists are THE moderates MKL warned about. Y'all have t stop thinking binary. It pisses me off. Centrists are tolerable when the goal is to remove the fascist. It's the death door meme

Oh, look, a corporate Democrat and a Democratic Socialist working together.

Shock and horror!

But what about Obama's war criming? (clutches pearls).

This doesn't mean Obama is pure as the driven snow, just that Mamdani is an adult.

My brother nearly lost his life due to mistreatment at a long term care facility. First, they neglected his kidney care, and he almost died to a necrotic kidney. Then they left him unattended and he lost his entire colon.

Oh, and you can't sue, because the facilities LIE about the care they give.

And if you want AIPAC gone, work to have States address the issue, as States govern what corporations can, and cannot do. I guarantee you, once the AIPAC money is gone, a lot of their Democrat toadies will retire.

Why do you all do things the HARD way? Blow up the damned dam to destroy the bridge.

The whole, look at the shit Democrats are doing is an issue we address AFTER we get the fascists out of power. not before. Not during. AFTER.

But, do what you want, just don't complain to me if we don't get the number we need in November to choke out the fascists.

The ONLY goal of the "Democrats are shit" at THIS POINT in the political cycle is to keep Democrats from the polls, and to encourage independents to not coalition (with the intent to remove the Regime). That's all. there is no grand political statement of trying to make a better government.

Orban and his government were kicked out because Hungarian voters showed up in masses (79%) and actually did the "not Orban and friends."

That's what we need in the midterm. That's what we seem to be on a trajectory for. Unless people start skipping steps in the process.

Yep, once again we get the "don't vote Democrat" posts (this one on FB).

Ok, buddy, sure. Who do I vote for then to stop Republicans? Green? You SERIOUSLY think we can whip up a viable 3rd party in 200 days?

This narrative ALWAYS crops up when Democrats are poised to win. It's a psyop. 1/

The Inside Story of Five Days That Remade the Supreme Court

“In public, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. has cultivated a reputation for care and caution. The papers reveal a different side… At a critical moment for the country and the court, the papers show, he acted as a bulldozer in pushing to stop Mr. Obama’s plan to address the global climate crisis.”

Ouch. The LEGO trolls take on Erika Kirk: “Goodbye Charlie.” 🎶 🤣

Dear Mr. Goldman Sachs CEO. Not pitchforks, my friend. Guillotine.

You missed the deadline for simple pitchforks chasing your asses out.

As the prophecy foretold?
