For far too long, our party has seen its job as managing decline instead of delivering material change for working people,” Mamdani said at a rally headlined by Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders. “It has seen its job as explaining why we cannot instead of showing how we can
And I don't think it is accidental. I think Schmuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries are Manchurian MAGAs who sold out the Democrats a long time ago. Even if they aren't doing it purposefully, their cowardly and insipid behavior is 50% of the reason that MAGA regained power. They should be out of politics for that alone, they certainly haven't done ANYTHING to prove they deserve a second chance at punishing MAGA. They didn't do it when they had the chance, they aren't going to do it in the future.
We should all be calling our Democratic representatives, and strongly demand that they vote AGAINST Schmuck & Jeffries for leadership. Start now, so everybody knows going into the Midterms that they can expect substantial change by the new Democratic Party.
No one needed to sell out the Democrats. When Nixon was president, the entire time the Democrats held strong majorities in both bodies of the legislature. You know what they did with it? They joined Nixon in developing the war on drugs to turn normal legal behavior into felonies that would disenfranchise Black people and those that associated with them.
The Ds have ALWAYS been this evil. No one needed to sell them out. They have always been a faction of the elite collaborating with the other factions of the elite.

What the republcans can’t win on their own because it’s shitty the democrats will lose to them.

When Nixon was around, conservative Dixiecrats were still a thing. You can't really compare across different party systems.
Now the default Dem is a conservative further to the right of Nixon.
I think it's like squares and rectangles. All republicans are absolute shitheads. Some Democrats are, too.
Yeah Chomsky spoke about it in the 70s as well, I think
Chomsky was personal friends with Epstein and defended him. Let’s stop caring what he said.
Once you reach elected politician levels of wealth and power, red and blue is more of an aesthetic than a conviction.
Politics is all about maintaining the interests of the wealthy and powerful. Parties are just branding designed to entice people.
That's why it seems like there's a disconnect but there isn't, the system is working as intended.
Fekkin wild innit...
because of the massive propaganda apparatus available for the voters. something the Dems cant master,.
