    Fark off. We’re not giving you guys a goddamn thing. You are WAY too comfortable with doing nothing and compromising with 100% concentrated evil. I’ll be voting for candidates who were born AFTER the Battle of the Bulge.

    Yes please prop up the dead husk of Joe Biden on a stage like weekend at Bernie’s. That’ll really embolden the base.

    Bernie and AOC are the new direction. Biden wants back in to stop them. Fuck Biden!

    Make no mistake:

    This is not “help.” This is the neoliberal fascist collaborator backlash against help.

    Somewhere in DC, there’s a speedbump that they should name after Biden.

    30,000+ people showed up today for the Bernie/AOC rally today in Colorado.

    If only there was a way forward…… Says the Democrats

      Bernie the sheep dog is not the way forward.
      Can’t even bring himself to say the world genocide.
      That horrible regime party can’t be fixed.
      As long as Americans don’t vote 3rd party they get what they deserve.

        As long as you hyperfixate on a single issue that’s over there, it’ll be hard to win over here.

          It is only genocide, no biggie. It is not like Palestinians are people.

          Just remember this the next time you wonder why certain demographics don’t want to vote Democratic anymore. Someone’s single issue is another’s family and friends.

          By your logic why “hyperfixate” on anything? The environment, democracy, human rights and so on, are each a single issue. By the looks of it [some in] the Democratic Party aren’t stopping at abandoning Palestinians either: Gavin Newsom breaks with Democrats on trans athletes in sports. “It is a single issue, don’t hyperfixate on it”, will be the rallying cry in 2028 I’m sure.

            The USAID that used to feed Gaza is gone, nothing is coming into replace it. People are going to starve to death. Not that you cared about that. Doesn’t run with your narrative. Just like hamas stealing the USAID to sell back to starving palestinians. Doesn’t fit the narrative.

            If you understood how government worked and cared about palestine you’d be VOTING for a senator and house rep who will defund isreal. But noooooo lets not have any strategic goals in mind when elections come around. Lets virtue signal and seethe and concrete the genocide you’re screetching about.

              Israel is intentionally blocking aid into Gaza. Hamas has nothing to do with it. The termination of USAID also has nothing to do with it. Aid trucks are stuck at the border not allowed in.

              FYI I voted for Jill Stein. No Democrat, at least on my ballot was going to defund Israel.

              Edit: I missed adding that the Biden administration already cut funding to the UNRWA, so starving Palestinians is bipartisan:

                The president does not authorize spending. He just executes the spending. Congress has power of purse, they are the only ones that can cut funding for Isreal. Which i fully support. I would be happy to cut aid to isreal and increase aid to palestine. Happy to help protect palestinian land from Isreali encroachment. I am an ally you are alienating with your harsh views. We probably agree on a lot of things that would benefit palestine. I think without a practical method to acheive them you will never see your goals fullfilled politically.

                Mostly because you voted third party for president not knowing that you meant to vote for congress.

                Oh. You voted for a different Putin puppet whose party has made no attempt to run a real campaign in the US and clearly (and vocally) had no intent on winning. Very helpful.

                EDIT: Oh. I see that you are a tankie from the grad. Bad faith to be expected.

                  A few things:

                  1. Neither major party was opposed to the genocide or had any intention of stopping it.
                  2. You could add all third-party votes, not just Stein’s, and Harris would still lose to Trump. That is if you assume that Kennedy and Oliver too stole votes from Harris.
                  3. Criticizing an Arab for voting for a Jew is peak antisemitism.
                  4. Anyone I don’t like is a Putin puppet. Harris is also a Putin puppet. How else would you explain her purposefully choosing to throw away the election?

          It’s not a single issue, he is also a warmonger and cheerleader for all the US wars among other things.
          Or do you mean everyone should just ignore al that inconvenient horrible stuff bcs that’s somewhere else and doesn’t affect them personally?
          The true lib way.

    They already have chosen a new direction.
    Unsurprisingly and in their tone-deaf character they have chosen the worst option.
    “embrace patriotism” ban far-left candidate questionnaires and refuse to participate in forums that create ideological purity tests” , etc… I really hope this wakes up people to vote 3rd party, they do not represent working class people and never have.

    I’d rather it was someone else. AOC. Bernie. Anyone in that vein.

    But if he’ll get the Dems to rally and DO SOMETHING? Fuck it. Give it a try. Maybe it will work.

    What fundraising is he referring to though??

      Midterms.

      Governance is a thing of the past, it’s all campaigning all the time now. Why do you think they fail so hard to accomplish anything? If they actually fix things they have to find something new to run on. It’s like studios who focus on sequels and reboots, it’s a known quantity. They know people will show up for those platform positions, so they don’t want to remove them as an option.

        It would almost appear they have doubled down on dissing Biden non-stop. Like its the only way they can cope with their lack of political action. Not sure how Trump pulling all restraint from Isreal and providing them with more money than ever is pro-palestine, but you’d think that crowd won the election by not voting or something.

    Christ almighty, no. It’s bad enough that the Democratic consultancy didn’t tell him to go fuck himself when he thought to run for president a second time.

    We desperately need new blood in the Democratic party - people who understand how to actually work for working class voters and to communicate that and earn back people’s trust.

    Joe’s a good man, but his brand of ‘actions speak louder than words’ does NOT work in the Trump era.

    It’s not struggling to find a direction, it’s going in the opposite direction of Biden…

    Which is a good thing considered that was bankrupt state parties thru victory fund then claim a president has zero power and can’t do anything till it’s time to campaign for the next election.

    You can’t spend 3.5 years telling people the presidency doesn’t matter then do a 180 for an election.
