He ran on the platform the Democratic Party ran on for 2020, which still held appeal regardless of his track record. But honestly after his stroke his spouse really helped carry him across the general. In the end though she isn’t the senator.

But now there’s no platform at all so he’s just doing whatever he wants, including being a total shitbag. He’s a senator for a failed party, after all.

The coordinated political hit job on Corbyn was so ugly and blatant.

They don’t want his actual response, opinion, or policy. The desired outcome is obedience, and obedience alone.

I’d rather AOC knock Schumer out of the Senate in 2028. (Or a special election if he for whatever reason is unable to complete his term.) Congress needs as much replacement as the White House.

But it is really frustrating framing how the article is already conceding Trump will be the dominant candidate for a third term in 2028. That’s a long way off.

You’ve already got him beat for my vote if it came down to it.

She called for Cuomo resign in disgrace as governor and then endorsed him for mayor.

These ghouls don’t believe in anything.

They do tend to passively address the American Overton window in their articles. I think it’s pretty easy to navigate as an American because they do it mostly in the same style of our mainstream media.

The overall dynamics of American political language I think can be pretty jarring to both Europeans and any American trying to first learn about socialism.

Suddenly 99 JD Vances in the Senate.

He does not deserve Babydog.

The entire point of this is that it takes considerably more effort on your end to respond.

What Lemmy threads have you been in for the last two years? The constant refrain in every political thread was about how the Democratic Party, in control of the executive, should not march into genocide, fascism, and hand Trump a second term. Those people got heavy resistance in every thread likewise without fail. There were those who felt a stance on Gaza was hypocritical and that a genocide should not have any place in their politics.

This is the entirely preventable and predictable reality.

The simple answer is: there’s never been a trans issue. There’s been an anti-trans issue though. And that’s categorically portrayed as the trans people’s fault and responsibility, much to the benefit and design of the anti-trans movement.

The anti-trans folk sit right along Zionists and ICE in their rhetoric.

Neoliberals are beginning to look equally as invalid as conservativism

It should never have been more than a pace behind.

Democrats want the party to focus on their day-to-day needs and want wealthier Americans to pay more in taxes.

That was the express point of the article.

The only two parts that deviated from that message: saying democrats focus too much on transgender issues and it talked up Gavin Newsom.

So if that wasn’t the point of the article that’s what you’re left with.

The status quo will be a radical departure, indeed.

The shareholders will benefit greatly from more war.

Competance saved us from nuclear holocaust before. Will its inverse do the same?

It’a just Massie, the ideological libertarian who is the rare case that doesn’t lie about his votes. He’s no ally of the left, but his isolationism and streak of conviction makes him only slightly less shit than the party he caucuses with.

Although the pro-war factions are the majority of both parties. Pretty sure Chuck Schumer is ready to to lead Senate Democrats into supporting war in Iran anyway.

Congress is about 70% Holden Bloodfeasts.

It is a route towards self preservation that is not an uncommon strategy, this environment especially.
