Conversely, if a minority is losing out, then you are WINNING!

Come on, this has to be satire, right?

Well said.

The evil and capable ones tend to be the wealthy behind the scenes guys who know better than to have their name and image associated publicly with the kind of heinous policies they want to implement. They pay for the evil incompetent guys to be the face and take the heat.

Stephen Miller can never fill Trump’s shoes. Trump at least has charisma - he can charm and flatter people and keep a smile on his face. Miller is just hatred manifest, not to mention he exudes insecurity and he looks like a cartoon villain. Zero redeeming qualities. He has to stay in the background so people don’t see the ugly face of their agenda.

I agree with you, but the problem is that the DNC doesn’t think of you or me when they think “we”. To them, “we” is wealthy capitalists and their cronies. “We” is whoever is willing to kill any left wing policy before it gets off the ground, at any cost. They would rather lose to fascists than allow a leftist to lead, because they value money over justice and equality. The party elites will not give up control of the party willingly, even for someone who represents overwhelmingly popular policies.

Well you see, congress isn’t making a law, the executive branch is just doing blatantly illegal shit with impunity, because congress is full of spineless coward sellouts

Excellent point. I hadn’t thought of it that way, but I think that’s very likely an aspect of it.

It’s the main qualification, aside from being an ass-kisser.

I should have been more clear. The post I’m replying to said “what the fuck did THEY think would happen”… which I took to mean the (presumably older establishment) dems that are whining about Hogg’s call for primaries. That’s who I’m talking about.

This is the same Democratic party leadership that ran Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’s campaigns. The same Democratic party leadership that cares more about stopping Bernie Sanders than about stopping Donald Trump. They know who’s side they are on, and it’s not the same side as you and me. The Democratic party is unfortunately rotten to the core, and it’s all about the money. Imagine the concept of regulatory capture applied to politicians broadly and you will understand the modern Democratic party and the state of our government. We need a party built from the ground up to represent the working class, whether it be from the ashes of the Democratic party or otherwise. Primary them at every turn or run independent campaigns where feasible. The other challenge is that mainstream media is owned by the same corporate masters, so it will be an uphill battle regardless.

How ironic that the guy who was never elected for anything is whining about democracy. And “corrupt”? Corrupt might as well be Elon’s middle name.

Absolutely shameful. I hope the management at this station and CBS in general get a ton of flak for this. Cowards shouldn’t be in charge of journalists.

If it were the same ratio it would be 70%. 35% is if the death count doubled with zero additional women or children killed.

I think that’s a great way to look at it. I’m hoping we can get some better leadership in the democratic party willing to listen to people and offer fresh ideas instead of taking the “if you don’t vote for me then you’re hitler” approach.
Leaning to the right didn’t work for Harris. We need someone to energize the base by offering meaningful change.

Good analysis. You also should understand that Americans are HEAVILY propagandized, since most of our major media outlets are also captured by the same corporate interests that bribe our politicians. Critiques of capitalism are de facto not allowed, because that would be bad for business. (Not to mention the previous decades of cold war era “red scare” nonsense the older generations grew up with) As a result, many democrats don’t know how to receive criticism from the left, and can’t even conceive that there might be a different path besides “status quo” and “conservative hellscape”.

I think everyone who is being intellectually honest knows full well that Trump would be worse. The problem seems to be that the Democratic party has decided it can take the votes of the left wing of its party for granted. If the left is not willing to actually follow through and withhold their votes, then the Democrats know that they never have to appease them. It’s really a lose-lose situation until the Harris campaign shows some moral courage or takes seriously the possibility of losing votes over this issue.

Thanks for clarifying, I had a feeling the context might be something like that.

Ah, this must be so they can “legally” keep killing aid workers. Truly, the most moral army in the world.

I’m sure the fact that Joe Biden started recently changing his tune on Israel had nothing to do with protestors, and is just because he’s such a nice guy.
