Welcome to Calvinball that the GOP has been playing for the past forty years. Glad you guys finally caught on…
Glad you guys finally caught on…
The voting members of the DNC woke up years ago…
But because the president can basically just seat a chair, their last two elections was 2017 and 2025.
They picked Ken Martin, a guy who spent a decade running Minnesota and turning it from a purple state into solid blue with some of the most progressive House members.
By all means criticize the party and the system over all…
But you have to understand it first, otherwise you’ll just keep getting manipulated
The more I understand the system the more I hate it.
This must be how Chrysler mechanics feel
They picked Ken Martin, a guy who spent a decade running Minnesota and turning it from a purple state into solid blue with some of the most progressive House members.
The same Minnesota whose local democrats are now stiffing Omar Fateh?
Blue No Mat-oh god they actually care about the citizens wellbeing and not our shareholders? No don’t support them.
Ken Martin the guy who came out and said they would not not take bribes from ‘good’ billionaires?
Someone’s continuing to be manipulated alright.
Does that mean you’re going to remove anyone from the party that doesn’t endorse popular progressive candidates? No? Then shut the fuck up, liar.
I don’t think they can remove people from the party either way. You call yourself a Democrat and you’re a Democrat whether they like it or not; the actual DNC only controls funding.
Someone should tell David Hogg
He was removed from his post due to a procedural error/loophole, but he wasn’t removed from the party. He can run in elections as a democrat if he wants to.
He was removed from his post due to a procedural error
Fucking what?? Absolutely not true.
I thought they weren’t playing by the rules anymore.
The DNC is a fucking joke, center-right party that hasn’t given a fuck about anything except corporate money since 1990. See their lack of support for an actual leftist in the NYC Mayoral race
I’m just waiting on Chuck Schumer to put a stop to this with a strongly worded letter.
Saw Ken Klippenstein post that schumer hasn’t held an interview in over two months. Completely turtled up after the book tour fiasco.
His glasses must have completely fallen off of his nose and he’s stumbling around not knowing what to do.
This is great they finally want to fight back. I’m just gonna say it though kiss Democracy goodnight. We ain’t ever coming back from this.
They should have fought back decades ago when we still had a democracy to save. All this will do is save some power for them. We desperately need democratic reforms of all types.
It’s why I’m seriously exploring what it takes to move to the EU in the next year or so
What actions have been taken to fight back? These are just words and sound bites to stay in the news.
Like all the times the DNC completely fucks over primary candidates it doesn’t approve of?
Oh, NOW they’re realizing this?
Ok about 25 years too late but it’s a start I guess
What rules?
It’s time to bring a fucking AK to the knife fight.
These guys are not prepared for their destruction. They will just sit still and wait for ICE to come for them.
So, fuck the law altogether, then? This is not the “solution” people think it is.
When the rules get broken, there need to be consequences. You don’t just throw out the rules, instead. This is seriously the dumbest timeline.
The rules were thrown out during his first term. The dude has taken over our capital and armed them, and is now going to take over NYC, Chicago and a few others. This isn’t the time to go along, we have a corrupt SCOTUS as well. What do you suggest?
Defend the Constitution from all threats, both foreign and domestic. But that doesn’t have to mean “fighting fire with fire”.
Do not split and no cracks. You don’t have to agree with how they are fighting the system, but keep your thoughts private and instead, explain how your system is awesome.
But what is happening in Hong Kong is they come up with a slogan, which is translated as Do Not Split, which is, we know that some people are willing to be confrontational with riot police.
And when they are, that’s going to cost the state in terms of not only resources, but it’s going to cost the state in terms of political capital and support. And we know that there are some people who are not willing to do that. And we are going to abide by the protocol of Do Not Split, which means that we’re not going to criticize them openly, and they’re not going to criticize us openly.
If we’re the pacifists, we’re not going to have them criticize us for being sort of like, I don’t know, limpid or flaccid or not courageous or whatever. And we’re not going to criticize them for being more confrontational. And the thing is that the support is also tacit.
I have no problem with protesters clashing with unlawfully deployed police. What I do have a problem with is the idea that, “if they can break the rules, then so can we”. That, I will criticize. Because that indicates that we are not on the same side anymore.
Following an unjust law is worse than disobeying a just law.
