It also doesn’t make sense to call for Schumer to step down without a plan for who is to replace him. Not a lot of Senate Democrats would be any better, and there is no reason to believe any of those are interested.

To put it differently, if they are the proximate cause of the Trump presidency, then you are the ultimate cause. I throw up my hands at trying to decide which matters more.

That’s the part where I’m sympathetic to your argument. I think anyone not voting for Harris made a mistake. I also think the arguments people like you made for people to vote for Harris were really really bad and that you are enabling the Democrats to continue down a terrible path of failure.

I’m sympathetic to your argument, but ultimately they absolutely are fascist. If you doubt me, then to ask a Palestinian. There is very little that the Trump regime is doing that the Democrats weren’t doing less obnoxiously and on a much slower timescale.

We can’t keep accepting the lesser evil indefinitely. When you brush off the serious issues in the Democratic party with language like “no saints” you make it look like that’s exactly what you intend for the country to do. I mean “politicians will be politicians”. That’s not convincing anymore.

This, and also to point incessantly to Schumer and Jeffries implicitly supporting the enemy by refusing to endorse Mamdani. We need to tie Cuomo around their necks as he goes overboard.

EDIT: LOL, Jefferies just did a last minute endorsement now that it’s 100% clear Mamdani has it wrapped up. No, we are not going to forget.

I believe they should lay down their arms. I’m proud to be one of the first elected officials in the state who called for a ceasefire, and calling for a ceasefire means ceasing fire, that means all parties have to cease fire and put down their weapons.

Unless you drop everything after the first sentence, it’s pretty clear to me what he is talking about. Has he ever once indicated that Hamas should disarm in anything less ambiguous? Is there any other position he has ever taken in relation to this or any other conflict that would indicate it is a position he would be likely to take? Has he accepted money from AIPAC or any other big money donor supporting the genocide of Palestine, or any other genocide? Is there any reason at all to make the worst possible presumption that can be made of what these words mean, when they are followed with the exact opposite explanation in the very next sentence? What the fuck is wrong with you that you think it’s OK to be so dishonest?

You are 100% full of shit. There is absolutely zero ambiguity in what he said to anybody not trying hard to misunderstand it. You think he’s trying to get back the Zionist vote by slipping in a subtle dog whistle? Yeah, that’s plausible. You are full of shit, and you know you are full of shit, and you should feel bad.

Listen to the damn clip. It’s perfectly clear what he is saying, despite your overly pedantic parsing of one exact phrase taken out of context.

Misleading headline. He called for both sides to put down their weapons in a cease fire. That’s not a call for Hamas to disarm, unilaterally or otherwise. Someone is sowing division on the left here.

So, getting groped by a Republican is meth and getting groped by a Democrat is weed is this analogy? Please.

Absolutely true. However, it hardly looks any better for Democrats. Bill Clinton is barely any better than Trump, and yet he is still revered in party circles.

Also, Democratic party elites have yet to back Mamdani in NY which is defacto support for Cuomo who has the same kind of track record.

This isn’t a Republican problem, it’s a wealthy elites problem.

I made that mistake with Biden in 2020 and now realize we would now be better off if Trump had won. I’m not doing that again. No more shitty Democrats paving the way for even worse Republicans.

Let’s not forget that prior to Jesus any punishments were over when you died. Permanent Hell was a new testament thing.

We outnumber them and America should feel like it. No, individual acts of defiance won’t do it, but whatever does will work better in a defiant country than a cowering one.

This shit is going to collapse under its own weight if nothing else. I’d kinda like the good guys to have an impact on whatever comes next.

If you don’t even know the name of the party, I’m really not optimistic about your insights. The party at large has clearly shifted left, even if the old guard hasn’t lost their grip yet. There is a long way to go, and this edgy bullshit is nothing but distraction from the real work.

By AOC or Bernie, are you referring to two people that have done a thousand times more to shift the Overton window left than you and a dozen friends will ever achieve?

I just love all the ineffective edgy leftists constantly telling the only people making progress that they’re doing it wrong.

“Charlie Kirk proven wrong.”

This sucks. I don’t think he was conscious long enough to know that justice has arrived. Thoughts and prayers asshole.

Consensual means we have no basis for demanding he stand trial for rape. Squeaking past that bar doesn’t say anything good about his moral character. He should not have been impeached, but he should have been run out of the Democratic party on a rail.

He most likely locked his knees standing at attention too long. It’s not an uncommon occurrence in training. I saw one guy do it during a locker inspection and whack his head hard on a bench on the way down. The fall itself is the real danger.
