The winning message for a Democrat:

I will be your revenge. I will burn the Republican’s criminal empire to the ground. It won’t undo their crimes, but I will make them suffer.

    If you fucks don’t do everything you can to overwhelm the midterms to primary every incumbent democrat, you better not complain when President Newsom rolls back 20% of Trump’s policies and decides that some trans people can be released from some of the camps.

      I’d settle for full rollback of every single Trump appointment, executive order and item of legislation, and every administrative rule or regulation promulgated by any of his appointees. Also for the appointees to be banned for life from ever holding public office, being a corporate officer, owning a gun or even getting a fishing license.

    Articles and posts like this truly reveal the oblivious bubble people live in where they still haven’t come to terms how much their federal government has been corroded.

    Shapiro is bought and paid for by Israel. He cant possibly win an election the presidency, for starters, and even if he could win he’d be working for a country thats not ours, that wants America isolated from its military allies so it can act unconstrained by consensus. Shapiro would be the death of the democratic party for good.

    To add to his lack of qualifications, he’s new to politics. He’s in his first term as a governor. He doesnt even know how national politics works, and he hasnt championed anything notable. He got a budget that added school breakfasts, and increased funding for state police. And thats about it. Thats not a leader for our times. Its insulting to see his name brought up as a candidate, yet again.

    There needs to be a revolution within the Democratic party, today. Not in a week or a month, today. We’re not able to oppose fascism because the fascists are fucking clever or strong or smart: We’re not able to oppose fascism because the Democratic leadership dont’ want to.

    If we don’t replace Schumers and Jeffereies, its cooked. It wont matter. No circle jerking about November going to help. We need war-time leadership in the DNC now. Alas, Babylon. They need to start acting like a government in absentia, because they already are one.

      I tried calling my rep. Automatically forwarded straight to a full mailbox. I’m not a major donor, so I guess I can just shout into the void.

    What they are describing is not a Democratic president. It’s an independent candidate running on the Democratic ticket.

      Yeah, that’s the only way to elect a progressive.

      Unfortunately that won’t happen until the US becomes a democracy. The current voting system is designed to prevent popular or progressive candidates from winning.

        Shapiro is not a progressive-- by what facts would you claim that he is? He advertises himself as someone who brings republicans and dems together on issues. He’s as centrist as they come.

    Spoiler: They won’t. They will “compromise” and try to “mend wounds”. Democrats are just “Diet Republican” flavored politics.

      Democrats are pacifiers for us. US: “Hey we want free healthcare!” Democrats, “Shh shh shh, there, there, it’s okay sweetheart.” They serve the same billionaire masters as Republicans.

    Not sure what the article says because, paywall. But, given the thumbnail, I just want to make sure people understand that Shapiro represents the entire opposite of Democrats actually doing anything about fascism. Shapiro is a fascist collaborator, both in terms of his work for Israel, and domestic policy. He’s essentially a Republican, that is to say, a fascist.

    They won’t do shit. Just like always, they’re gonna waste four years maintaining the status quo then cry into their hands when the fascists take control after they’ve done nothing to address the material conditions of Americans.

    I just read that Kamala Harris might be in the 2028 election. The very same one that couldn’t mention anything bad with the US because ir might upset someone. The very same one that sidelined her popular VP pick to campaign with republicans and celebrities. The very same one that never won a presidential primary.

        The point of centrists is to lose to republicans. They play the culture war game to keep people fighting over pointless crap while the wealthy rob our country blind.

      Well maybe not in this life, but someday there will be a non right wing leader of the American states again, or a portion of them anyway. We might as well start planning for that now rather than waiting.
