    His ‘we’ll wait until he gets to a 40% approval rating’ comment speaks worlds to me.

    I think the problem right now is a lot of democrats (and non-MAGA republicans) are still acting like this is business as usual. And don’t fully recognize that this is an assault on democracy.

    We need leaders. Not politicians.

      Dems have been captured by zionists, of which Schumer is a pretty bad one. Listen to his AIPAC speech proclaiming there wont be peace with Palestinians because the Torah promised jews the land.

      Its the far right zionists that are destroying our government, who overwhelmingly prefer Trump to Biden/Harris, and who brag at home about being friends with Putin and controlling the US.

    I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. The Democratic party is broken beyond fixing. They’re corpo sellouts and will sabotage progressive agendas at every turn while pretending to support the working class. That is quite literally how Trump won both times. And the only reason he didn’t win in 2020 was because his Covid fumbles were still fresh in the voters’ memories; not because Biden was a good candidate.

    Progressive leaders like AOC and Bernie need to cut all ties with the DNC and start their own party.

      I’m inclined to agree at this point. I held out hope that progressive would be able to make them slowly change but after this debacle, I’m all for a separate party that will caucus them, even if it results in a short term set backs in primaries.

      This is all true, but unless ranked choice and paper ballots are used in a lot of states, which will never happen, then all this will become is a money making party to run failed elections.

      USA federal politics is broken. Full stop. It cannot be resurrected. Democracy exists in some states but not others, and the Democratic Party rules in the states which are not lost causes.

      One cannot run a federal government with many of the red states having their own cabals of mini authoritarian arseholes. Those red states and many of the purple states are lost causes

      It’s a sunk cost. The DNC needed to deliver a 2024 win to prove they were worth all the compromise we’ve tolerated year after year. Abortion isn’t even a national issue any more and they still couldn’t pull one out. It’s a sink cost.

    The White House strategy here is to move so fast that by the time the courts and or public opinion catches up with them the deeds are done and cannot be undone. That’s a very plausible strategy and they’re continuing to execute it.

    So firebomb all the ***** dealerships first, figure out the rest later. Got it. Okay everyone you heard the random internet person! Every Saturday night, all **** dealerships and/or lots are going up okay? Great. Make sure to leave your phones at home!
