    The Democrats are literally willing to tank races in order to avoid progressive candidates winning. I think they are at least a little culpable in getting Trump elected both times, but especially the second time.

    I’m not doing a “both sides”–I’m just trying to hold the Democrats accountable for shit politicking and strategy.

      well you see some of the dems were actually DINOS, really republicans that was electable as dems but not as republicans,now you have to issue of how many of them support the MIC-israel pipeline, which funnels money back to the same Dinos. AIPAC/ICE/flock has pretty much exposed which ones are not trulely progressive. schumer, slotkin, fetterman, HAKEEM dozens of both houses have no interest in moving to the left, they are in fact trying to stall for Trump to do enough damage , so they can say they “tried thier best”

      No I fully agree. I just got into a real shitfight with the ‘leftists’ who take it to the next step and just promote voter suppression, which is not the answer.

      The DNC strategists, advisors, AIPAC-backed, ‘let them hang themselves so we can just wait to win’, all of them are culpable. We need to bring back defenestration for a lot of them. The fact that they spent all of their money in the PRIMARIES shows just how terrified they are of work and how effective and realistic a threat the populist, socialist left actually are.

      They’ll do anything to make sure they don’t have to get off their ass and ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING.

      I swear, I’ve never seen a party that despise their own voters more than the Democratic party. Even the republicans at least TRY to appeal the their voters interest, even if that interest is mostly just bigotry and religious zealotry.

        Right. R’s have the advantage of appealing to the people who are so dedicated to authority that they can just lie to their face and the best response is ‘why would he lie? He’s wearing a suit!’

        Dem’s used to have that advantage in the 90’s but didn’t have the stomach for real work, which ultimately is how they bled their own weakness into the open air to target and it ended up being genocide of the Gazans that laid it out for all to see
