I cant imagine the dem centrists actually standing up and demanding (for once in their lives) better candidates.
People gushing over an ardent zionist shows the dems have learned nothing at all, and still dont really give a sh*t what their voters think.
Walz usually saves that level of ire for ethnically Palestinian Minnesotans. Good to see a Dem centrist at least talking about having a spine though.
And seeing these downvotes-- you do understand that picking Walz as your champion means losing whatever election you run him in, right? You cannot run a genocider from the left and expect the base to show up. You need to join the fascist-right if you want to support a fascist right wing ethnic cleaning of innocents. You cant have it both ways.

Its much too late for trump to lose the taco image. His only chance now is to embrace the taco name and own it by saying he loves everything about tacos.
No statement from Nadler yet but he’s 77 and its late in the day. And it was just one of his staff. So.
cutting social security and medicaid is going to do that soon. And telling diabetics to cut it out with the insulin taking and read a recipe book instead.
They used to at least pretend to be furious. We need to demand they go back to at least pretending. This calls for a very strong letter. Someone get me our fearless leader, Chuck Shumer. And lets put in a call to AIPAC to get their permission to write this.
Well if we are going to get a better outcome we’ll have to demand it. They dont just need donor money to win, they need votes.
Why should we be agonizing about what they will do instead of making them ask what we will do? We’ve turned the power dynamic around. What we need to band together and let them know that we wont vote for any of them if they continue with the sellout shenanigans on many fronts. No more deals. No more assumption that the dem brand means they are on our side.
And we cant just play chicken with them, we have to mean it. If they dont come to us and earn your vote, then dont settle for whatever 99% republican drivel they try to serve us. This isnt a negotiation with the rich, its us deciding if the dems will even exist anymore as a party.
No more “vote blue no matter who”. They just use that to ream us. That “D” needs to mean what we make it mean, not what they tell us they want it to mean. Thats exactly how we ended up supporting some theocracy’s dirty war crimes.
From now on I dont give the dems my vote by default. They earn it, and if I dont know their policies, I wont assume they are good.
Of all the reasons to not vote for her. Gaza is the dumbest of them all.
exhibit #6569 of centrists not knowing and just not caring what their constituents care about.
I’d bet 20 bucks right now that the DNC will figure out some way to lose the midterms as well.
The gaza otcomes broadly indicative of how the party functions.
Beyond that, do you even realize that the gaza issue has almost single handedly destroyed the concept of the western world order?
The other is not doing any of those things.
stopping aid to the world, wanting to make GAZA into a resort, deporting 4 y.o. US citizens as well as many others
Respectfully, that may be your perception of the Biden administration but its mostly not true. Biden arguably did not cut medicaid or reduce taxes for the wealthy, but thats where your perceptions start running into facts that show differently than you’d think. This is also part of why everyone is mad at the DNC.
Furthermore, Bidens proposed 2025 budget would have made cuts to aid globally, including cuts to AIDS relief. It also proposed cuts to social security.

“Jewish settlers set their sights on Gaza beachfront” from Mar 12 2024, on Bidens watch.
They sold that gaza land off in real estate gatherings in New York, New Jersey and other US cities, which was blatently illegal and all done on Bidens watch, with him not lifting a finger to stop it.
"Children make up a significant number of those facing removal proceedings. In the first five months of Fiscal Year 2022, almost one third of all new cases in immigration court involved children, including tens of thousands of children under the age of five. "
In short, Biden was a bad democrat, and a bad human being. Always has been, but people saw what they wanted and respected the D by his name.
Biden should have ran
Even before the Jun 27 debate fiasco, the polls always showed that Biden had very little chance of winning. He was trying to actively facilitate a AIPAC genocide and simultaneously win a close campaign race from the “left” party. If the DNC had run a real primary process, and if the media had held Biden to his promise to only run a single term, things might have been different.
that and her husband and idiotic brother-in-law campaign manager were ardent zionists first and foremost. She was never going to break from Biden on that.
No one is suggested Bernie run – they are suggesting the system that knecapped him be examined and anyone involved in it dethroned. at minimum. We cant keep doing this stuff.
Trump is a collective tantrum by aggrieved people.
Even without the debate, Bidens poll numbers for years before the debate made it impossible for him to win. No candidate has ever come from that far behind and won. When Roe went down on his watch his numbers cratered and never recovered. The DNC knew this but they wanted their AIPAC war to continue uninterrupted, or else give the chair to trump, who was their desired pick anyway. So they bought that outcome.
I’m pretty tired of people nagging voters to follow the rules the framing they set forth. Trolley problem, “voters dont get to decide where the middle is”, etc.
He never goes to any of his briefings anyway.
