If only he were part of a political party that could execute policy matters without him, as opposed to solely developing and passing legislation and department policy by hand…

At this point it has negative votes. The neolibs are literally downvoting reality to try to protect the man who will make them lose to a man they claim will be a dictator if elected. It’s truly amazing how they’ve become Blue MAGA.
Yeah, where was all this “The president can just have you killed without due process!” outrage when Obama had a Denver born 16yo citizen killed without due process? Neolibs haven’t held this party to account since the 90’s, and are now surprised (or unconcerned) that it’s become a social club that cares more about maintaining internal control than winning elections.
For the people who are actually on the DNC rules committee and run the party, the DNC is their social club they want absolute control of. They only participate in elections to fundraise so that they can run ads and take a cut of the ad spend to fund the party and their own lifestyle. If anything, a Trump dictatorship, as long as it allows fundraising and ad spending in “opposition” actually benefits them just fine. And if there’s no possibility of them winning, only the most glassy-eyed cultists remain in the party so no more internal dissent, which is perfect for them.
This kind of in-accountability, where you neolibs cover for Biden and the DNC like a child hiding their alcoholic parent’s empty nip bottles, is A) sad and B) to blame for being in this situation to begin with. Enjoy they fruit of your labors.
Parties don’t have primaries out of the goodness of their hearts, they have them to avoid situations like this. But the geniuses at the DNC won’t learn a damn thing from this because they cannot fail, only be failed.
Sorry, I didn’t mean to do a doubleplus ungood by saying something true about Dear Leader. We should support anything he does because Emmanual Goldstein.
Per Nicholas Kristoff’s reporting in the NYT, Biden’s been an advocate for Israel murdering as many children as possible going back to their invasion of Lebanon in the Reagan administration. The only issue he’s never flip-flopped on is murdering children.
Yes, it would be deeply unfair were a hypocrite need to deal with their actions…
Hochul was chosen by Cuomo to be such an unthinkable choice for governor that he could never be impeached. Now, because the DNC doesn’t do primaries (except when Israel wants someone’s head) she’s governor for life.
Well, you certainly are an expert on being complete trash…
This comment adds nothing, which seems to be your deal, Trump has declined, it would be noticeable if the DNC hadn’t put up someone who’s literally PAINFUL to listen to speak because he’s overtly about to die evermore over time
I’m speaking to the terms the neolibs understand, nationalist victory, borders on a map, blood, and most importantly, money. Although, if we’re getting into opinions about rhetorical efficacy, and I truly don’t mean offense by this, I’m just talking in general, I think the term “imperialism” comes across as haughty and doesn’t really speak to the moment, in which it’s all very imperialistic I 100% grant you, but, and this is just my opinion and I’m not a political scientist – to say “imperialism” as such is just… it strikes me as of an earlier era. While it’s important to respect our past (I literally cry for “Solidarity Forever”) I feel like what the neolibs lack, and where their weakness is, is the connection to humanity, which they have completely lost (Thus the “the economy is good, why aren’t you grateful, idiot!” platform of the Biden admin) and I think language like “imperialism” makes people either roll their eyes because they’ve heard it before or roll their eyes because they don’t find in relevant to their material condition in a neoliberal world where your interactions are almost exclusively with private actors, even on the state’s behalf in neocolonial contexts.
It doesn’t make it right, they were wrong to violate the international border back in 2014 to begin with, but you could wipe out whole Ukrainian generations ala WWI, and they’re not going to retake what Russia has now. You’re spilling blood and treasure for nothing, like every US foreign misadventure of my lifetime instead of coming to terms with an unfortunate reality.
I’m not sure making peace by moving a border by a few hundred miles you’re never going to be able to actually militarily reclaim to begin with is accurately described as killing, but, sure? I guess war is peace.
I love how the advocates for peace always are the ones accused of ethnic cleansing. When will the non-violent killing stop!?
I condemn pure idiocy from a man who I honestly think is potentially learning disabled and/or suffering from mental health issues. You know it’s bad when Curtis Sliwa would have been the MORE sane/intelligent pick for mayor.
It will be a genocide when the Israelis recognize ANY genocide they can’t use as a cudgel for the benefit of their own ethnosupremacist agenda… so half past never…
Because he’s an arrogant, venal sociopath who’s been running for this office since he had to drop out in 1988?
