No shit…
Why did people think trump moved her to a fucking country club?
They should have held her in contempt and thrown her back in real jail. But she obviously got bribed/threatened and cooperated. The day she got moved to the country club anyone with a half a brain knew she wasn’t gonna snitch.
So the argument is that ICE doesn’t have enough manpower for this strategy to work across the US
Anyone who doesn’t understand this, has no idea how much goes into everyone voting in person within the same 12 hour period…
What I think he’ll try, is claiming Dem states aren’t competent to run elections and appointing his own people to run, and rig, the elections in blue states.
And he’ll specifically target states run by neoliberals he knows won’t fight back.
Cali has a shit ton of electoral votes, and Newsom would prefer Republicans steal the election if he’s not the Dem candidate, so he’d probably just make some token complaints, have an intern post some memes, and then let it happen hoping it gives him a shot at 2032
Right…
And there’s even more wrong with that comment than what I pointed out…
But if explaining one thing is this difficult, why the fuck would I try explaining multiple things at once to you?
Hell, at this point I don’t think I’ll ever be able to help you understand anything.
You’re on your own bud, best of luck
One that you used incorrectly…
They haven’t “woken up” that’s the entire point I’m trying to make.
trump posting this video distracts from Epstein, but what’s more distracting is some Republicans who are in the greatest threat of losing their seats getting a chance to distance from trump. Which starts another cycle of people talking about it instead of Epstein.
The only reason he posted it was so people talked about it instead of Epstein.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they told Republicans to pretend to be offended just so it would become a story.
Stop falling for obvious distractions
What got us 2008 was people actually wanted to vote for Obama because he was charismatic and his policy matched what voters wanted…
Something Dean and the DNC tried to stop from happening.
That was in spite of the neoliberals, but to be honest I’d never imagined someone would even attempt to give them credit for that
By “ending careers for working with Obama”, you mean the people mostly left over from Bill Clinton’s time as president were threatening people within the Democratic party to not work with Obama?
They would blackball anyone who worked on a campaign for a progressive.
Like not even in secret backroom deals, they were very upfront about it, if you worked on a primary to challenge a neoliberal incumbent, none of the neoliberals would hire you, it worked for a long time.
Wait so, he was so mad at them that he…let them keep power? That doesn’t make sense. Can you shed any light on why he’d do that?
The most gracious interpretation is he thought the party would wither and die and something would organically replace it…
But I think he was just a petty dick.
What he should have done was hand the keys to someone who would at least try to fix it, do the stuff Martin is now. Instead it cost us a decade of progress.
Yeah, but like, its gonna come with some assumptions that we agree on stuff, and even a simplified version goes back 20 years. So this will be long, but as simple as I can make it.
2007 primary was mostly fair, there was a lot of finger on the scales and implied threats of ending careers for working with Obama. But the neoliberals didn’t take him serious enough to really fuck with it.
That lead to Obama winning the primary, and the neoliberals from Bill’s days who running the DNC to shit themselves. Because if Obama won, he’d name a DNC chair and that was the party.
So the DNC actively worked against Obama even in the general in 2007
Obama, rightfully pissed off made a stupid decision and allowed the neoliberals to hang onto the DNC. However he ran everything thru his own PACs and organizations. Which did a few things:
Bankrupt the DNC
Leave state dem parties to fend for themselves.
Leave the voting members of the DNC nowhere to turn, except double down on neoliberals and corpo. support.
So by the time 2015 runs around, the party is still broke, however the prior chair just gaslights everyone else at the DNC and keeps telling them it’s fine.
In order to fund the DNC enough for the primary, a deal is reached with the Clinton campaign, where they funded the DNC in exchange for final say on anything the DNC said or did, essentially Hillary Clinton cut a check to buy the DNC
https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/11/02/clinton-brazile-hacks-2016-215774/
But, instead of just cashing a check, Hillary also set up a system of “bundling” where you could (in one donation) write a check for the max to a candidate, max to the DNC, and max to all 50 state parties.
“To make it easy” just one single check, you could give to Hillary.
That money became the “Hillary Victory Fund”:
https://www.politico.com/story/2016/07/dnc-leak-clinton-team-deflected-state-cash-concerns-226191
That money was then supposed to be broken down and distributed, which would have been very easy since they were maxing stuff out.
But neoliberals gonna neoliberal, so:
The victory fund has transferred $3.8 million to the state parties, but almost all of that cash ($3.3 million, or 88 percent) was quickly transferred to the DNC, usually within a day or two, by the Clinton staffer who controls the committee, POLITICO’s analysis of the FEC records found.
By contrast, the victory fund has transferred $15.4 million to Clinton’s campaign and $5.7 million to the DNC, which will work closely with Clinton’s campaign if and when she becomes the party’s nominee.
https://www.politico.com/story/2016/04/clinton-fundraising-leaves-little-for-state-parties-222670
So anyone that would have given to state parties because they maxed at the DNC or candidate, gave to the victory fund which the DNC and candidate appropriated and used as a single bag of money.
This got passed to Biden, then to Kamala.
The only way your state party could get some crumbs, was appeasing that group of neoliberals. Go against them, and they’d give you start nothing. They didn’t care if Republicans won, because the goal of neoliberalism is to never have enough power to do what voters want.
Now that the goal is “as many seats as possible” and the money is going where it was always supposed to, we’re going to see massive swings like this election.
So like I said, it’s long. But thats honestly as short as it could be and I had to leave a lot out
Because the DNC is emptying out the “victory fund” that neoliberals were stealing from state parties and hoarding to use to convince us to settle for neoliberals in the presidential…
The only reason Republicans are competitive for House/Senate majorities is for decades neoliberals sandbagged the party, and if you didn’t play ball they bankrupted your entire state and let Republicans take it to punish you and set an example to get there states.
That’s how Jeffries and Schumer got elected as majority leaders, going against them would hurt your constituents and the politicians. Whether you were ethical or not there wasn’t really a choice.
That’s been over for a year now
We’re literally a year deep in the largest reinvesture of funds from DNC to state parties, which has let them all run at campaign pevels.
We keep “over performing” because for the first time in 30 years the goal is as many seats as possible instead of a very slim majority so nothing would get done.
Which is why billionaire owned media keeps pretending this is “over performing” and not just what would normally happen if the oligarchs weren’t holding us back by shoving neoliberals down our throats.
But this is gonna keep happening, because it’s a fundamental change to the party that caused it.
It popped up on YouTube auto play the first time I saw it and I died laughing
It is worth mentioning that a big reason we keep “over performing” is the current DNC took the giant dragon hoard “victory fund” and has been making it rain on state parties that money was stolen from.
Money doesn’t win elections alone, but it’s allowing all the state Dem.parties to already be operating at campaign levels for the next four years instead of just a few months every other year.
Not trying to distract from the candidates winning, just pointing out that the real reason is deeper than any single candidate and it a reasonable expectation for this trend to continue.
The media won’t talk about it, because they’re fucking pissed they lost one of the only two options.
Kat Abughazaleh
I meant to post her new ad somewhere but never did.
It’s hilarious
The only reason they post this shit is as a distraction.
So the only question reporters should ask is:
Why would trump post such hateful racist shit as a federal employee except to distract from the Epstein files?
Calling him “federal employee” would really piss him off too
General strikes are effective…
But if they cancel/rig elections then it’s not gonna be enough. If that happens, we really only have one box left.
Edit:
Nevermind
I really think most people know this.
Oligarchs are sinking a shit ton of money on building name recognition, but absolutely no one that would ever vote D actually likes his policy. But the only chance he has at winning is if idiots decide not to vote in the Dem primary.
why do you think the primarys will be fair this time and that the DNC won’t favour a corporate Democrat
Because the chair is all powerful and accountable to no one…
And the new one led Minnesota for like a decade and ran fair primaries turning a purple state progressive without any bias.
It’s been a year, and they’ve been sending record breaking levels of funding back to state parties, that’s why we keep “over performing” in special elections.
What’s important here, is that this funding was a cudgel wielded by prior neoliberals: do what we saw or we’ll bankrupt your whole state.
That threat is literally gone.
Had you not “seen” any of that on billionaire owned media?
He doesn’t have a chance, because it’s going to be a fair primary all the way thru.
They might be able to buy the first couple states especially if they start early, but they can’t keep up the whole cycle which is why prior DNCs always tried to call it like 2 weeks after the first states vote.
2028 will run until ever state votes, and the DNC isn’t going to favor anyone.
So the only chance Newsom has, is depressing turnout for the primary.
Which is why so many people keep acting like the DNC hasn’t changed, they’ve already fell for the propaganda and are spreading it.
I don’t know exactly what you’re trying to say, but you at least don’t know what the fifth amendment means…
