To serve as a historic mocking of DNC incompetence in losing a race they could have chosen to win, I'd be in favor of it being carved. I assume Trump is collecting gofundme donations for this.

What do you bet they try to put him on our currency as well. Maybe a 3 dollar bill, or a new half-cent coin.

Despite repeatedly asking, I have never had a single one of these morons ever actually answer the question of how allowing Trump to return to power was in any way better.

Hello my partner in the democratic party, The floor is yours. Sprawl out on your belly and continue pounding the floor with both fists like the rest of your hostage taking ilk. If your side wanted to win, a win was in your grasp with a single announcement from Harris, she chose not to make that announcement. You never contest that point, why not? So yes we're here in the wilderness with you. Difference is, we progressives (whose votes you absolutely needed to win) have been here a while. Check out my camp chair and marshmallow stick, cool eh?

Say, what outcome are you hoping to achieve with this increaingly boring and pointless messaging ? Are you trying to get progressives to join a future genocide? I think history has shown pretty conclusively that thats not going to work. Anything else you need, party-brother?

I have a declaration of universal human rights that you might have never seen before, to pass the time. Or the works of Emmanuel Kant. Some stuff from MLK.

It’s like we all saw a horrible fire headed our way

Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last?

So voting for the people who started the fire is your solution?

In the hopes they had lied about their stated plan to keep that fire burning as long as the Israelis wanted?

When they knew they'd lose the election by stoking that fire and they continued to stoke it anyway? But its the voters who are to be blamed huh. Harris could have won by admitting Israel was engaged in a genocide, about two weeks before election day.

No I dont think your suggestion is logical at all. Its a tired argument and its hostage taking by the DNC. I dont negotiate with far right wing terrorists-- whether they are democrats or republican or other. Sometimes when given an impossible choice of two murderous outcomes, the correct response is to make no choice, and stand up to smash all the people and systems that made this vote "neccessary".

Now that the election is over, will you lay on the ground bitching or will you get whats needed done? Its time for you to stop talking about the past and start being a decent human being pushing for a brighter future. Remember when doing the right thing was something we all did? When will that start being present in your mind again?

The DNC wouldn't know what to do with power if they had it.

We’re going to take money from the good billionaires, we won’t accept money from the bad ones

As a lifelong Dem, thats just inspiring right there. "You'll all service the clean Johns only, not the diseased ones. Some trickle down goodness to you poors may or may not happen in the process. Now everyone put on your knee pads and get on your knees. The boss billionaire is entering the building."

Ask people what progressives stand for lately and they will say trans rights and wokeness.

I do wonder if everything on the far left seeming to be about "trans" this and that is an attack by centrists and fascists to portray all of the progressive left's agenda as being about issues that are critical to only 1% of the population.

Are trans issues Important? Yes. But are trans rights issues the most critical issues of our time?
No. Not even close. Trans rights doesnt rise to importance over class struggles affecting all of us or state sanctioned mass murder in Gaza.

Are they more important than .. school vouchers, school lunches, and oil drilling issues? yes.

Are they more important than gun violence in schools?
I'd argue no.

Womens reproductive care rights?
Fuck No.

I think the progessives have been trapped by cleverly malign marketing tricks, many of which are from our own dem coalition partners. Centrist bad actions within the DNC to limit progressive influence needs to be reckoned with.

In this tumultuous and historically dangerous time, what are the dem centrist leaders pouring their efforts into? This corporate whoring BS to crack down on illegal streaming. And not much else. I hope the check the movie industry cuts to the DNC is worth it.

Easy answer: because they are led by centrists who stand for nothing much beyond being in the middle so something can get done. The very nature of centrism is to not be in favor of either side of a political spectrum. Everything is negotiable, lately even the current value of human life abroad, which will come back to our shores. Centrists sure as hell cant lead much of anywhere coherent, or win elections. They can be proud of something like an infrsatructure bill, and they feel like that should be enough to get voters to the polls for them. Its just not. Anything uncontroversial enough that the right wont object to is not going to animate the left either. They can't win on road-building and post office branch naming.

Parties need money to exist. Without voter funding from people and groups who want to get specific things done, the only funding they can get is from corporations who want dirty favors, so centrists inevitably become the dirty corporate favor party too. Or, "whores" if you will. Its whore or starve for these folks.

Dont stop there, take the next step: why are enough dem voters apathetic, such that they cant win an election?

cybertruck is barely even a truck at all. its a truck shaped car for rich assholes to look rugged.

What excuse would they have for not being prepared? This is their whole damned job. If they werent prepared and dont know what their constituents want, they need to be fired.

[–] kreskin 2 points 5 days ago

Well they decided that Bidens entire problem was that he didnt message his good deeds enough. Like ...the uh... infrastructrure bills. "more than a trillion dollars in spending on roads, bridges, airports, railroads, ports and more."

The Dems thought that would be enough.
