Julian Assange: Sweden broke own laws with Nobel Prize to Venezuela’s Machado open.substack.com/pub/thegrayz...

Again for the centrists defending them as good female candidates defend now "bipartisan" Amy Kobluchar and Elissa Slotkin? Or Raphael Warnock, Mark Kelly and Jon Ossoff? Hypocrites.

Dear Santa, Please send the Democrats a better standard bearer in 2028 than Gavin Newsom, preferably someone who hasn’t already lost a presidential campaign. And please also send the party the guts to back this standard bearer. Also I would like a new pair of running shoes. Thanks, Will

Surprise (Sarcasm) This is what happens when your pick is a disgusting lying traitor capable to throw her own people for the sake of power.

Centrists: you leftists idiots. you [slur]s. you don't even really care about helping people. you're basically maga Centrists: we couldn't say genocide was bad because our friend meghan mccain might have gotten upset :(

Human and civil rights are not a purity test. Only fascists believe that they are. So you are not beating the allegations that neoliberals are the same as fascists.

The EU and other US allies have seemingly all forgot about us dragging them into a war based on lies and then murdering a million Iraqis. You think this is the worst thing the US has ever done? You will forget all about this, long before you pass away.

Also, authoritarians can't be shamed. Democrats need to stop telling us how hypocritical the Republicans are, they don't care. They know, and they think any lie, any deceit, and any form of undemocratic power grab is legitimate - so long as it for their cause.

Seriously, what what the fuck is happening with the Democrats? They don't even pretend to give a shit anymore, and yet so many people still stick up for them as "our only hope." They really don't see how Democrats are helping to destroy America.

I don’t know who the Democrats are going to choose to run for president in 2028, but I really hope it’s not Kamala Harris or Gavin Newsom. We need someone more progressive, more sincere and more electable. Honestly I don’t even think this person is in the public eye yet but I hope they emerge soon.

When Harris was VP, the party had just enough votes to raise the minimum wage. The parliamentarian, a person Harris had full authority to just plain fire and replace, said Harris shouldn't do it that way. So Harris did nothing and the minimum wage remained unchanged. She just plain doesn't care.

He thinks his serving as Secretary of State will burnish his resume for a 2028 Presidential run. IMHO I don't believe that any Republican can win after Trump has destroyed their viability and credibility. Of course the Democrats are skilled at snatching defeat from jaws of victory. Peace out...

MTG may not succeed. But to laugh or scorn her without a counter strategy would be foolish. We cannot cede the gains we are making from the Left. Reactionary centrism is a failed tactic -- failing globally multiple times since it emerged as a approach to counter extreme right wing gains. (5/6)

If she succeeds, MTG will revitalize malevolent nationalism by becoming in essence a rebooted DJT once he exits the stage or this world. Given America's deep history of misogyny, I believe the only woman the US will vote into office as a first female president, will be a conservative like her. (6/6)

There is a reason Mamdani had his portrait taken before FDR. Traditional Democrats will fail a second time if they do not heed the lesson from the past 20 years. The US needs a left-anchored popular movement or it will succumb to fascism again. We can do this if we embrace the obvious path. (4/6)

She will wear a reformed, kinder persona -- feigning to abandon toxicity, widen her appeal to include the broadest swath of people she can reach her targets: the very base DJT built and switch the base to an America First movement and steal the supply fueling what is now establishment MAGA. (3/6)

that whole 'this country isn't ready for a woman president' line is really upsetting because it shows exactly how neoliberalism works, redirecting blame from issues of policy (or lack thereof) onto a flattened, vague type of sexism in a way that ultimately doesn't even challenge sexism!

This is a party that has never ceased to amaze me. Didn’t waste any time to welcome MTG but still yet to fully endorse Mamdani

*In her new book, Kamala Harris insists she only lost the election because she didn’t have enough time. But she accidentally demonstrates the real reason: she’s a terrible politician* by @yasminnair.bsky.social www.currentaffairs.org/news/kamala-...

Hey 2028 Dems, You should call for Schumer to go now. I promise it'll only help you.

Believe it or not they were actually only like +2 before Newsom actually decided to act like somewhat of an opposition to Trump, now they're closer to +3-4. Every Democrat should be copying his tactics and style but combine it with an anti-corruption agenda.

...the reason more Democrats aren’t calling for Schumer’s ousting is because they are afraid of offending donors who contribute to Schumer and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. truthout.org/articles/dem...

It's time for Schumer to step down from his post as minority leader and allow for new leadership to emerge—someone who is willing to consistently fight for the American people. sign.moveon.org/petitions/sc...

“What was gained by the longest shutdown in American history?” *this should be the only question asked.

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

You tell them that they’ll be able to trust Dems to fight for them when we have new leaders in Congress. What happened tonight highlights the imperative need to replace these corporate Dems with young, diverse, creative progressives who LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE and not just play the same tired game

Next time I’m talking to a young voter and they ask me how they can trust Democrats to fight for them, what the actual fuck am I supposed to say? Oh they’ll fight for you until Chuck no longer feels like it?

Evergreen.

Just like 2016 and 2024..all these old time democrats and centrists need to be gone!

My two young voters in my family are furious. They feel betrayed. I think they will be changing their party affiliation tomorrow.

We spent months working to rebuild the Democratic brand in the eyes of young voters who wanted leaders who'd fight for them. Senate Democrats just lit all that work on fire.

If the Republicans really wanted to reopen the government, they could do it without the Democrats. The Democrats need to make the Republicans own this shutdown and all the suffering it is causing and they won't do that by capitulating with nothing to show for it.

Chuck Schumer is a weasel, a scoundrel, and a coward. Someone in New York better primary him.

After the largest peaceful pro-democracy demonstrations in American history, and a blue wave election where voters clearly and loudly said FIGHT ALL OF THIS CHAOS, it is malpractice and disqualifying for an elected Democrat to suggest caving to Trump. I'm looking in your direction, Chuck Schumer.

I think this also shows that Schumer is mostly deluded and out of touch. He absolutely believes the off year elections last week are a good bellwether for him personally, and not a sign of cataclysmic fury from the American electorate.

GOP: Try to make VA a referendum on Trans issues and got boat-raced. GOP: Run NJ on racism and protecting the wealthy, get wrecked. GOP: Make NYC all about racism and fake accusations of antisemitism, gets washed. Ezra Klein: Here's why Dems need to welcome those GOP positions into the platform.

The entire pundit class has convinced people for so long that their “analysis” was somehow necessary and valuable when in reality it was just a con game to manufacture consent for bias-confirming “strategies” that only benefited the capitalist class and guaranteed pundits career security.

As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed. The way forward is together, not over the bodies of our own.

Thesis: The people across the US repudiated the Trump agenda. Antithesis: But the people even after four years of Trump failed to turn out for Harris and she lost the general election. Synthesis: The Biden admin and Harris campaign failed to offer a meaningful alternative to Trump's agenda.

Joe Biden ran on Bernie’s agenda in 2020 to get progressive votes. And it worked. Then establishment dems quashed most of that agenda. And VP Harris paid the price. Record turnout in NYC because young voters once again have someone to vote for. #reshapetheelectorate @chrislhayes.bsky.social

Never stops being relevant

"Oh and it turns out the way to win over Trump voters is to be an anti-establishment progressive instead of a capitulating transphobe? Fuck that!"

It never matters how far right the world moves. These guys will still be shifting their views along with it and pretending it's some coherent neutral position. Everything now normalised was far right 10 or so years ago. These false equivalence fucks are a huge part of that.

Centrists who think they're smart because they're Centrists.

This is like when Hillary was being interviewed in 2024 and told the reporter that she was coaching Kamala in "how to beat Trump" and I was thinking "how would she know?" Centrism has failed spectacularly because it inspires no one. This dude should be unemployed his advice is so fucking bad.

Leave it to Obamabot/KHiver Dembots to always bring up the "BernieBros" card to smear Indy Leftists for crimes they did not commit. Platner is Nazi garbage, but Copmala and Biden are mass murderers. Distinctions without a difference.

Khivers are knives out for Obama because he said nice things about Mamdani

Centrist #Democrats on the campaign trail in 2028: "Instead of abolishing ICE, let's add more women, minorities, and LGB (no T because standing up for trans rights is unpopular in polls) people to the ranks and increase funding to the gestapo even more!" I can already see it.
