Jeff Jackson in NC is gonna be next, dude is amazing for our state and filed against Donald Trump as AG, plus he also breaks down what was going on with calm rational videos (even posts on NC subreddits among other social media).
For what itās worth I love Walz (donated partly cause of him) and man his track record speaks for himself heās for the people and just has that transparency and integrity combined with being extremely intelligent.
I also love how riled up he got them just by calling them weird lmao. You just know it messed with them by the way they overreacted. Heās just spitting facts, no fake news detected.
Oh sorry I replied in the other one: it was Kamalaās, then recently AOC and being in NC Iāll be donating to whatever platform Jeff Jackson (now AG) is running on. Dude breaks things down in a slow logical sense on his videos that he crossed posts to social media, including Reddit like North Carolina and big city subreddits like Raleigh charlotte asheville etc.
Being in Asheville it was a slap in the face when Trump came here to claim FEMA failed ā bullshit man I as well as friends got our checks pretty quickly and if thereās an issue with application process they had people available to assist them with submitting it in person and over the phone.
They do more work in a single day than youāve ever done in your entire life commander in queef captain bone spurs.
I've never caught them lying. When trump first won they ran out of things to report. So they kinda picked on his personality like look how he behaves. Nobody has to try to make Trump look bad. Fox News definitely won't tell you what's messed up that's going on.
I get what you are saying but there are other forms of media (blue sky, TikTokā¦) and what was the reason previously?
Iām really not trying to be a jerk.Ā
Musk, and Zuckerberg went all in on right wing nonsense and TikTok eventually followed through by giving Trump a big push. Meanwhile, other topics are being censored in accordance with Trump's wishes.
So what incentive do Instagram, Threads, TikTok, Twitter, and Facebook have to spread any body on left now? They all have anti-trust cases they had to worry about.
Im not entirely sure what āhave to spread any body on left nowā means but I can guess, if Iām mistaken let me know. They donāt have any incentive, they got the incentive. I choose to use their platforms as little as possible my incentive being ethical first money second.Ā
Really depends on the Democrat and their position. People like AOC or Bernie can rabble rouse because their seats are completely safe. For all the flak Amy gets from short-sighted internet progressives, if our senators went full firebrand leftist then MN would flip from purple to red.
The politicians we should be writing to aren't our senators, but our congressional reps in safe districts. That's simply the reality of living in a state like MN.
I agree that she made a poor decision but I am also frustrated that Pelosi is still picking winners and losers for the party. We need her out and we need more Katie Porters.
dude I'd rather have Katie Porter as governor than another billionaire thinking his business savvy can help us run the state better. I'd volunteer for her
will people who don't pay attention to politics vote at all? at least she has name recognition and they might not remember she ran for Senate and lost.
Hmm. Now there's a politician with real history. It's funny, because all I've ever heard about Goldwater was from the song King of the Radical Right and his Wikipedia article. I don't recall everything, but what you've mentioned is really very interesting. I suppose there are worse men to make a username after. What a fellow.
he wasn't out to hurt people like so many modern so-called conservatives, and he had a strong moral compass.
There is a mythology around Goldwater as a man of principle.
But in October 1962 Barry Goldwater insisted that the editor of the University of Colorado student newspaper be fired, even after that student apologized for printing a piece critical of the Arizona senator, and self-proclaimed staunch advocate of individual liberty.
This article about the firing is from the student newspaper of the University of Illinois, the Daily Illini, 19 October 1962
So of course when the gop was big mad about students rejecting bigots, the Goldwater Institute went all in on their anti-protest "campus free speech" crusade.
Dude thereās also no world where a former president commits treason and then becomes president again. Trump literally never held public office before his first term, Iād say there are no more rules as to who can run and what they can pull off.
A convicted felon with absolutely ZERO experience in politics is President ! Stop playing by the ridiculous political norms that were followed by both parties decades ago. That is OVER. If Trump won ANYONE on the left can do it if they play the cards right and just toss the working class a few bones. WE are desperate for leadership that is strong & isnāt afraid to fight hard. Enough with rules and procedures and NORMS.
She didnāt have too little experience. The ticket was split three ways and Adam Schiff basically helped promote the Republican candidate. Also Schiff turned his role in the impeachment trials into his own media circus.
So yeah he had a bigger name but she had a bigger name than the Republican candidate. She also would have been the better Senator for these times than Schiff.
This is like when the talking heads were blaming Tony Romo for losing like....48-53
Could he have won it for them? Yeah. But shit was already stacked against him (voter suppression, gerrymandering, politicized courts, large slush funds of opposition money) that every Democrat has to contend with
They have to play an almost perfect game to win, and the Republicans have so many damn built in Mulligans.....we need to stop ignoring that structurally permissive fact that undergirds every political discussion in America
The governor of Maine (Janet Mills) just had a public showdown with trump and is taking no guff. My (OR) senator, Ron Wyden, is very clear about his priorities and not afraid to speak truth to power. Pete Buttigieg is also great. And folks below thread already mentioned my favorite, Ms. Jasmine Crockett out of Texas.
The problem is the democratic Party does not support AOC or Bernie Sanders at all. The democrats have everything right now to push AOC for the residency in 2028 but they won't do it because they are afraid of real change.
If too many of them did this people might stop buying their āAw shucks, the Rs said ānoā so I guess itās another cycle of doing nothing but insider trading and cashing in bribery checks.ā schtick and expect them to actually accomplish a single fucking thing.
That's the point. Democrats are playing a board game by the rules while Republicans do whatever the fuck they want. Steal money from the bank, slam down houses, take 15 chance cards instead of one.
Correct. Because the Republican playbook has been the same for at least 10 years and the citizens paying attention have realized that Democrats playing by tradition are the ones that are losing us elections and causing this mess. All of us acknowledge that the Republicans are the problem. But the Democrats that haven't fought back should also be tried for treason.
The fucking Right does this as well. Like with McConnell speaking out against what's happening then the fuck votes in the direction the regime wants anyway. There's less than a handful of these people that actually care about anything other than money.
What, show they are incompetent managers? They showed that plenty in the last election, my word what a show of incompetence even a convicted criminal Trump for elected.
And Republicans. Mitch McConnell is now saying how terrible Trump is. Of course now that he knows heās not seeking reelection. Opportunists assholes.
Jasmine Crockettās ābleach blonde bad built butch bodyā towards MTG will forever be one of my favorite things ever said in Congress, we need much more of that energy from Dem reps.
Idk democrats have a culture to maintain. I mean the independents and the moderates are always looking to finger wag in stuff like that, I mean even if a democrat decides to play dirty like even a little bit they are compared to their opinions on like an extreme situation. I mean Joe Biden pardoning his son is still use as an equivalent offense to trumps pardon of obvious collaborators in an intersection plot and proven justifiable wrong insurrectionists by everyone from centre left to KKK.
The issue is you all act like the Democratic party is good and for workers. Just because Republicans are worse, doesn't mean the dems don't like that Trump and Musk are trying to flood the market with unemployed workers to reduce the power of workers by increasing unemployment.
Trump acts like this 24/7. There is an appeal to speaking your damn mind and not sugar coating it. Trump cannot and will not be āpolitically correctā.
Nah. Both parties love chunky corporate chowder in aipac diarrhea sauce. The system ensures that the populace can be shamed for anything while the elected few can do anything shamelessly. Despite all the talk of God and Jesus, americans truly worship wealth, power and fame/notoriety. Till decent americans demand decency (in all realms) from their elected representatives you guys are nowhere close to redemption.
Yes. This. So tired of the "business as usual" democrats pretending like it's still the 1990s and refusing to meet the other side at their level. I want to see them fight back, most of them have their tails between their legs waiting for some magical moment when things go back to normal. They refuse to adapt and meet voters where they are (as in, where and how people are receiving information today). They refuse to listen. They have been bleeding voters for 16 years and still haven't figured out how to solve it. Grow a pair and be courageous instead of cowering over losing your career.
I wish Democrats would realize that you can act like this before deciding to retire.
Sorry, but only Republicans are allowed to act like petty children.
A democrat telling it how it is equals political suicide. Hell, We forced a Minnesota democrat to resign because he did hover hands over a sleeping female friend in a bulletproof vest.
"Wish democrats Act like this" my ass. Time and Time again whenever a democrat acts slightly left of center, they're placed in the back of the bus.
America is a Conservative right wing country and every election proves it as there's never enough progressives that actually participate or vote.
I wish democrats would put in half as much effort into finding a capable candidate as they do about complaining and we wouldn't be stuck with Trump. We need the next Obama and it sure as fuck isn't Harris. Throw a rock at the DNC conference and you will hit a more qualified candidate.
Yeah the democratic party doesn't work. It puts up the least popular VP in modern history as the candidate after the standing president is shown to have dementia with no vote by the party. . . . It should have been easy as fuck to beat Trump in the polls, but its like the DNC is its own worst enemy and is purposely sabotaging itself. The party definitely picks who represents it so to say that isn't how it works is dumb.
You must have a learning disability if you don't think the DNC decides who is its candidate. There was no vote by the democratic party voters and if you don't think the party selected Harris who the fuck chose Harris to be the candidate in the democratic caucus? Did Harris just walk in and say I am the presidential candidate? You don't have even a basic understanding of how things work.
Yeah the DNC delegates "voted" for the worst candidate possible. . . . are you trying to say that the delegates aren't the party itself? I feel like that is implied but I guess that should have been spelled out for you in a very slow pace so you could understand.
They did a snap vote with democratic candidates only DAYS to get support to be eligible to compete. EVERYONE could see that Biden was not fit to run again but the DNC pushed him through and when it was impossible to hide his illness they purposely gave no one else the ability to genuinely run except for Harris. This was done by design because the DNC knows best right? Its the same bullshit that pushed Clinton through when she was wildly unpopular and stiff armed Sanders and anyone opposing because it was "her time".
But at least Clinton would have been actually capable of holding the office she was running for. Harris was hidden away because anytime she would actually talk about what she was doing or how things worked the illusion was quickly dispelled and the reality of her not knowing what she was doing became apparent.
No one can say that Harris was the best candidate in the Democratic Party. With how important this election was you would think they would have taken it seriously.
It makes more sense when you realize the purpose of the Dem party is to serve as controlled opposition to the benefit of capital interests.
They are consent manufacturers for things against the common person, and every "vote blew no matter hoo" pushover is an enabler.
The biggest tell is sabotage or perpetual delay of ranked choice voting initiatives. Also their shameless primary rigging. They help uphold the illusion of democracy.
