Why is the "we must be united!" hectoring directed at people who are mad at the Cavers and not to the Cavers? Everyone who's mad was united, then the Cave Caucus walked across the aisle and betrayed what the public had been told was the Dem position.

this is pretty much only a 1990s thing, it is mostly gone by the late 2000s. the greed/business side is still there, not the liberalization fantasy.

It’s time for a new political party in America. That’s why we need a hostile takeover of the Democratic Party. Register and get active in primaries.

DSA has shown the way forward for more than a few years now. Something the greens were never able to do.

As far as I'm concerned, the case against working to change the Democratic Party from within through electoral politics collapsed with Mamdani's win last Tuesday. Doesn't mean the left will inevitably win or that it won't be a grueling struggle. But ... I mean, come on.

To any moderate Dems, or normie liberals that are mad at these craven, surrendering Dems, join us leftist Dems. The only thing I’d ask is you hate the Republican Party and these bitch ass craven Dems with the bright hot fury of 1,000 suns.

I want someone who is as ruthless in their defense of American democracy as Republicans are in their desire to destroy it.

On one level, the blame for the Democrats capitulation lies with the incredibly cowardly and stupid elites who won't fight authoritarianism. On another level, we're seeing the failure of the two party system and the Senate to properly channel the demands of the voters into action in government.

I think tonight shows why “moderate to win elections” is a real risk the big divide in the Dem caucus, as many have noted, has been less moderate vs progressive than fight versus don’t fight but it’s not a coincidence that basically everyone in the “don’t fight” camp is a moderate

Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week Either they go into total rebellion mode, which they won't, or the people will

Neoliberalism was never going to save us from fascism as actually stopping fascism would impact the Cashflow too greatly.

And there it is...

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it. Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

Idea: Tell Durbin to retire early. www.offmessage.net/p/16-thought...

Tonight was a very bad night.

The people want a new, more modern political system which is designed to represent who we are and what we want. A political system with more parties. A political system without kings or oligarchs. A political system that's controlled by normal people, not the billionaire few.

Our political system is fundamentally broken. It was not designed to represent the will of the people and it is incapable of doing so today. The people don't want a king. The people don't want Democrats to surrender. The people don't want only two parties. The people don't want any of this.

thinking back to when eric cantor got knocked out in a primary in 2014

They’re not cowardly. They’re complicit. Assuming they’re cowardly gives them the benefit of the doubt of being in opposition.

After the 2016 election, I wrote this, about how Chuck Schumer was the worst possible Democratic leader at the worst possible time. He still is! theintercept.com/2016/11/14/c...

Primary every single one of these fuckers the next time they’re up for reelection. Primary Schumer. No more feckless, weak ass Dems. Either they fight against the Republicans’ fascism, or they get removed from office.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Primary them.

He had over a decade to come up with a plan He lied-many times over-about formulating a better, cheaper plan About releasing a plan in two weeks About having the “concept of a plan” There never was any plan And now-with the country facing ruin-in complete desperation He doesn’t know what to do

Six people died from tampered Tylenol and the company pulled 30 million bottles off the market. ChatGPT is accused of urging seven people towards suicide, and OpenAI just assures us they’re still working out the kinks. Billions in investment, zero accountability.

They’re not going to make noise about it, because they’ve been part of stoking the trans panic to distract from their predation on children.

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market. This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

LET ME BE PERFECTLY CLEAR: DOJ DID ALL OF THIS TO TRY AND STOP PAYMENTS TO PEOPLE UNDER AN ANTI-HUNGER PROGRAM.

There is no way in hell AI is the future if it’s losing this much money.

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

Why are we treating a consumer product that can cause psychosis or even kill people as something like a microwave that needs a firmware update instead of being classified as the most dangerous hallucinogen on the planet?

Forget market irrationality, this is moral insanity bsky.app/profile/benj...

Trump and Vance just outright admitting the money exists to pay for SNAP, but they won’t follow the law.

Holy ass he said it out loud. They can't make us feed hungry people. This is insane. Like insane right? This is our tax money earmarked for SNAP and he's like no it's mine now, check out the ballroom.

🚨 WaPo SCOOP: Inside the crisis at the Heritage Foundation The group behind Project 2025 is facing a rebellion — and has been for months. The Tucker Carlson/Nick Fuentes/antisemitism saga is just what caused it to break into the open. 🎁 Gift link:

When I tell you *a lot* went into this story, I mean it. - Recordings of internal meetings - Leaked audio from phone calls - Internal chat logs - Drafts of secret policy papers - Interviews with nearly two dozen sources Thank you for supporting journalism that does this kind of work.

Let's take a peek in at the people who spent the last 50 years calling for patriots to water the tree of liberty with blood, who hung Obama in effigy, who cheered the murders of Michael Brown and George Floyd, who stormed the Capitol to steal an election... Oh look at these fucking snowflakes

I presume this to be the majority opinion across Republicans generally, including a hypermajority of Republican men and a surprisingly high double-digit percentage of Republican women. It’s the inevitable conclusion of mainstream conservative thinking.

🚨 CNBC: "Announced corporate job cuts surging past 1 million so far this year, with 153,000 new layoffs just in October according to Challenger. That is the worst October since 2003."

Really hard to escape 2009 these days huh
