it’s my responsibility to convince the masses to support a candidate
I thought you were someone who supported progress. My mistake. Why would anybody listen to your loser defeatism when you aren't doing shit to help Americans. All you are doing instead is what exactly what Putin wants you to do. Too bad that Russia is fucked up way worse than America.
Geography,
Weird that Canada and Mexico didn't become the most successful country in the world.
early Independance
Weird that Haiti and Mexico didn't become the most successful country in the world. I'm sure it had nothing to do with their creating dictatorships shortly after their early independence. /s
Traitor?
Yep. Everybody knows Trump sent a mob to overthrow democracy. He also spent every day from election day in 2020 to Jan 6 trying to overturn the will of the voters from scheme after scheme after scheme. When you lost on election day like Trump did in 2020 you are suppose to stop and congratulate the winner, not try to overthrow our 246 year old democracy.
Fascists?
Yes. It is very well known that Convicted Criminal Trump despises America's longstanding core values of democracy and freedom and admires authoritarian dictators. He is hugely disloyal to Americans and our values.
First, the “least powerful workers” you mention are the backbone of the administrative state
No, the new entry level workers are not the "backbone" LOL. The backbone are the people who have worked their jobs for decades. OF COURSE the entry level workers have the least amount of power. That's true for every organization. Are you actually trying to gaslight us on this? LMFAO
Congress doesn’t micromanage civil service classifications.
Nobody said they did. Elected members of congress created these agencies and set their funding levels. What the Department of Government Enshitification is doing, destroying these agencies created and funded by congress without the consent of congress, is violating the constitution. If Traitorapist Trump wants to destroy a federal agency, or even to degrade its functioning by reducing its size, the he needs to get congressional approval to do that. e.g. eliminating the Department of Education is a Fascist move BECAUSE IT WAS NOT APPROVED BY CONGRESS.
Fascism thrives on loyalty cults and
That fits Traitorapist Trump perfectly. We all know that very few of his cabinet nominees are remotely qualified for their jobs. Trump appointed them to have a loyalty cult.
purges of dissenters
Exactly. This is why Trump is purging the Democracy State. e.g. He purged 17 inspector generals so that they could not uncover his planned corruption.
Yep. I always avoid bullshit. If it wasn't bullshit you would have tried to refute my 3 points. But we both know you can't. Did you really think that 99% of people didn't know this was hyperbole just because nobody thought this hypobole was important enough to issue a reality check before?
"DNC" is a small specific group within the Democratic Party that is focused on a specific role (primary elections). The House Democratic Caucus is another specific group within the Democratic Party made up of members of congress, and a totally different group than "The DNC".
I don’t get to blame party leadership
You were not blaming the congressional party leadership that this article is referring to. You were blaming a completely different group that had nothing to do with this. Nobody in the House Democratic Caucus that this article is about gives a shit what "The DNC" thinks about this.
conservatives rage against ‘deep state’ obstructionists
Traitorapist Trump literally fired the least powerful workers in the government so using the phrase "deep state" is obviously ridiculous. He is supposed to go thru congress for any major changes. The people's representatives previously voted to create this stuff. Therefore when Fascists attack the "deep state" it is a code phrase to target the democratic state.
It is literally a violation of international law
[The Declaration of Helsinki, a decades-old set of ethical principles for medical research that American institutions and others throughout the world have endorsed, lays out ethical guidelines under which medical research should be conducted, requiring that researchers care for participants throughout a trial, and report the results of their findings to the communities where trials were conducted.]
Nope. They pulled a bait and switch. People thought they were voting against illegal immigration, not a new Department of Government Enshitification to massively degrade the quality of government. The only thing that happened on immigration was a one day stunt that arrested some US citizens. If it was easy to catch illegal aliens than Biden would have already done it. So we knew immigration was a bait and switch for something completely different, we just didn't know what.
[where she was participating in a research study that was testing a new device to prevent pregnancy and H.IV. infection...Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said that the agency is wasteful and advances a liberal agenda]
Marco Rubio thinks that a research study to prevent pregnancy and HIV "advances a liberal agenda". This must mean the conservative agenda is to cause more pregnancies and HIV infections. Why didn't the GOP tell people their new agenda before the elections?
That first link is pure cold warrior nonsense
Lenin and Stalin did more harm to socialism than any other people in the entire history of mankind. You are a 20th century fossil. Soviet genocide are well documented facts. Here you go...

There is no need for any "precaution" if you don't fear anything happening. I don't need to take any "precautions" in case the sun does not rise every morning.
And he did exactly that. He tried to subvert American elections and overturn the will of the voters. Even Benedict Arnold didn't do something that despicable. He's also been working with Putin, according to a GOP Senate report.
Your claim that entry-level workers are more powerful than their managers is way way way more laughable. So the new data entry guy who gets $12 per hour is the "deep state" we should be scared of? And firing the $12 hour guy but keeping the $200k/year managers and specialists somehow hurts the mysterious and vaguely meaningless "deep state". Do you have any idea how ridiculous that sounds?
Where the fuck do you get this completely meaningless "administrative state" shit? LIke the office worker at the social security building taking your phone call so that you are only on hold 2 hours instead of 3 hours or the CDC researcher working on a virus cure or the inspector general whose job is to root out corruption or the FBI trying to catch terrorists before they bomb a crowd or the guy making sure you don't have toxins in your water are "evil" or "bad". These are employees, not a "state". They are doing the work that our elected congress instructed and funded them to do. Congress has oversight committees on all these agencies. Trump ignoring the laws instead of trying to get congress to change the laws is plain and simple Fascism. Trump is using the Constitution to wipe his butt. The very same same constitution that made America the most successful country in the world.
Will you stop with the nonsense? We are not talking about "micromanaging" anything. Trump's Department of Government Enshitification is clearly trying to abolish entire agencies and cut the funding of the rest WITHOUT THE APPROVAL OF CONGRESS. It was illegal for Trump to dismiss any of the 17 inspector generals without cause and without informing congress of that specific cause. That was a Fascist move to pave the way for massive corruption. If what Treason Trump was going was not unconstitutional, he wouldn't be threaten judges and threatening to abolish the separation of powers required by the constitution.
