Lieberman, Sinema, Fetterman, Schumer…there’s always one, and usually just enough to ensure we never have the votes for meaningful opposition.

If too many of them are vulnerable in an election year, then there’s always the senate parliamentarian. Or some such bs.

It’s about Israel, one way or another.

No, Bernie had the nom stolen by Hillary and DWS via corrupt back room dealings and superdelegate shenanigans. Everyone was voting Bernie and for the corporate elite that was a problem. They solved it by ratfucking the primaries, a tried and true dem tactic.

To be fair, Israel fired the first shots when they learned about a gathering of high profile diplomats who could all be murdered together. They did the schoolgirls at the same time just because that’s how Israelis roll.

It seems like the US didn’t anticipate things popping off at this somewhat earlier than expected juncture. But also, that US leadership doesn’t really give a shit how many American lives are lost fighting Israel’s wars for them, so there’s that too.

The plan is simple, plain and obvious: Bomb Iran while Israel steals as much land from neighboring states as possible. The end.

Not sure why you’re bending over backwards to extend such grace to trump. He called them suckers and losers in his first term, and it should be obvious he means a deal as in extracting wealth by way of invasion. Mostly for oil companies but surely for trump personally as well. Have you been paying any attention for the past 10 years?

Perfect excuse for why they couldn’t do anything this time - it was simply too late! (Donate here to stop Trump and save democracy!)

God dammit. Devastating - it is in fact a good point. Surely he used ChatGPT to write this.

There are still a few with journalistic integrity out there but nothing from a multinational news corp that’s for sure.

This said from a Tucker Exclusionary Radical Progressive perspective? Who cares where Cenk finds common ground, this war is wrong, and Israel is asshole.

We need to demand better of democrats, period. It’s ok to expect more out of them than “not trump.” Many of us Americans are completely fed up with them promising much needed reforms, and then turning around to accept bribes to do nothing of the sort after they’re voted in.

Voting out the establishment ghouls in the primaries this year is a great first step - go vote for a leftist this spring, and then vote for any non-repug this fall!

If the establishment power structure has its way, yes. We require significant reforms to allow the people to have a voice in this alleged “democracy.”

I hope she does run again, because this time she’ll have to face a contested primary. I can’t wait to laugh my ass off when Kamala garners less than 3% of the primary votes. Hope the dumbass DNC wastes several hundred million on her before that happens too, serves them right to back corpo trash like Harris. Not like they’ll ever learn the right lessons from any of this anyway.

They should spend it all on passing a financial audit, for once.

The reason I suggest Article V is that it’s the only option within our system of government remaining, since the 3 federal branches are so compromised by corruption.

Theoretically it could work because the delegates would be our state representatives. These are people we know in real life, whose homes we know the location of…etc. We the people could apply certain pressures to ensure they respect our demands and don’t go off the rails.

The establishment politicians will claim as you do here - that there are too many unknowns and it’s too dangerous to attempt. In actuality, they simply know they would lose their power and grift as a result, so of course they will fight this tooth and nail. The truth is that the real chaotic unknown happens with a violent coups, which is the final remaining option. Personally, I’d prefer the reform method outlined in our constitution to that any day.

This is why we need a new party in America that’s actually left of center.

National ranked choice voting, get rid of electoral college, outlaw gerrymandering, restructure the Supreme Court, overturn citizens united, restore the fairness doctrine, and we will finally have some viable options. It will probably take an Article V constitutional convention to get there.

Ni!

Would really like to get rid of it entirely.

Little whiny baby poopie pants can’t stand being told NO, even when it’s meant to save his ass.

We are so lucky he’s this incompetent.

Hey, that’s my kinda superpower.
