No, they want some—maybe even most—to not show up, but they still need some of them. Remember how they tried to find some employees that they fired and then realized are important? They need the federal bureaucracy to keep things running while they destroy democracy.
That’s called a strike, but yes.
Screw Trump, but putting such an incompetent hack as evil defense secretary was an actual gift to humanity.
Do they really think they can exhaust our will to spend money on weapons?
Maybe? Maybe not? Either way when you see an enemy drone there’s nothing better to do than shoot it down.
Intercepting the missiles is more expensive than shooting them and Yemen keeps doing it at night to wake up all the Israelis with sirens.
I have no love for the Houthis but wow, fucking respect.
Maybe Americans will actually do something about the American government’s mass murder campaign in Yemen when their soldiers start coming back in body bags.
You’ve somehow managed to say all this without actually responding to any of my points. And just for the record, I don’t give a shit why they wrecked Bernie’s presidential runs or why they keep suppressing the left; it only matters that they do and they’re not gonna stop doing it. I mean you said it; the old guard still thinks they have the recipe for success in the face of all evidence to the contrary.
I don’t know these people, no idea whether either of them is trustworthy.
Me neither, but anyone talking about unity and the Democratic Party in the same sentence is either delusional or full of shit.
Did he announce why he’s actually leaving? The Democratic party is dead unless a miracle happens, but politicians in red states tend to use this as an excuse to go Republican so I’m not hopeful.
the DLC had to do the work to take the party leadership positions, build a funding network, and win elections.
The question is: Will the DNC let you do that or will they sink with the whole damn ship? Because they have the tools (mostly money and connections, but also control of the party, immense social pressure and gaslighting) to stop you, dilute your final program or at the very least make your life hell every step of the way and significantly delay your planned takeover. Crucially, this is all happening and will keep happening during a time of active fascism when prompt and decisive action is needed, not compromise with Wall Street.
It really makes you appreciate even more how Democratic administrations just Get Shit Done™ compared to their fumbling Republican counterparts.
They Get Shit Done™ by not getting shit done. Republicans are obviously terrible, but let’s not forget that America is in this position because of Democratic incompetence.
Eh, there’s no shortage of clowns who’ll defend them as the lesser evil (or, God forbid, actually good at what they do) and shut down any attempt at making things better no matter how low they sink.
The problem is that they won’t be taking any Ls. They’ll fuck everything up and stick you with the tab.
Bernie is technically independent, not a democrat.
“They’re trying to change the rules because I’m not currently breaking them. As we’re seeing law firms, tech companies, and so many others bowing to Trump, we all must use whatever position of power we have to fight back. And that’s exactly what I’m doing,” Hogg said in a statement.
This man has a good head on his shoulders. I still think there are better ways to use Hogg’s position and funding, but political leadership for the day after will also be important so I’m not too miffed.
They’ll rescind it as “outdated” when another Bernie shows up. They’re pushing for neutrality because they know they’re ahead with Bernie out for the count and AOC too captured by the establishment to be a real threat.
What do you mean? 'Murica doesn’t use anything uncouth as foreign police stations; they only have sparkling extradition treaties and Interpol! Don’t put The Leaders of the Free World™ with the barbaric Chinese!
/s obviously screw them both.
As another non-American, comparing her to Trump is very reductive, because fundamentally she and Trump were trying to appeal to completely different sets of people. Yeah yeah lesser evil and all that, but that doesn’t work in the real world.
This one’s a European homebrew.
