Biden returned over 100 hostages to their families while sending the US Navy on a mission to build a bridge from the ocean to shore.
Not a single nation helped.
It's easy to be blinded by resent.
Biden told us to "Build Back Better" and I think you should focus on how that can happen rather than tear everything down.
We were closer to a in the 1990s.
The dream of the Two State Solution died on

The corporate socialists don't have to say don't vote for Harris, they use social media to push all kinds of bullshit to sow apathy. The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) explicitly refused to endorse Kamala Harris for the 2024 presidential election while she was running against a Nazi fascist right wing dictator.

Before you say so what, remember how many of Mamdani's followers were complaining about the Democrats not endorsing him.

They saw voter apathy to Clinton lead to the election of one of the worst presidents in American history and thought surely people wouldn't stay away a second time if delivered a slate of candidates whose platforms were to promise nothing and deliver less, but sure, it's one of the least powerful groups in Democratic circles that was the issue.

We do, and we're still looking to vote for that platform.

A lot of people have been billed as disruptive to status quos only to peter out at year two or three. Mamdani smells like one of those. The DMC strategists don't feel threatened by flashes in the pan.
Plus nobody serious really thinks socialism can work over large diverse populations spread over vast geographical distances. The whole model starts collapsing after about 30 million people give or take.

There was not a single major DSA chapter (New York, Seattle, etc) that argued against voting for .

The , right now, is the _only_ chance have of winning systemically. All other roads, save for a coalition, lead toward crossing the event horizon.

Though, personally, I think the has already crossed it.

Sorry i actually thought i was supporting your statement until i read it again after making my post (hence the edit)

Democrats are shooting themselves in the foot to fight the DSA as hard as they do. It's wasted money, they're losing seats, and they look terrible doing it. Why are they giving so much fight here? Why haven't they brought that energy to stop Trump?
People want a party to the left of center and the DNC absolutely refuses to allow it (it seems to be the only thing they absolutely will not allow) and the excuses are getting really, really thin

Well, now. Democrats are being called corporate from the and from the Republicans.
Symptoms, meet cause.

Democrats lose this cycle because of corporate imposters taking over the base of BOTH and the so corporate can watch US citizens continue to miss the point.
That's on the

Saving this toot if Democrats fail to take Congress and the Senate this cycle.

The attacks on Democrats is the reason why Democrats lost in based on what we see happening AGAIN.

Change my mind.

Mamdani is a rarity as a politician because every time I hear about him, it's pretty based instead of being lackluster or outright infuriating.

They don't want to win, even with the DOJ being turned against them, they'd still rather lose and hope their money protects them than let someone Left wing succeed in their Party. It's maddening.
