I don’t need to be that guy, but I think we can thank Joe.

That man has been around for decades, championing neoliberal trash easily for the first two thirds. It’s taken someone like him being wrong over and over and over, getting up again, and making better decisions the next day.

Thanks, Joe.

It’s ironic that all these new lovers of geopolitics that hate Joe for his Israel stance over the years also refuse to consider American politics. Joe’s only doing what the American Empire has been working towards for a century. The fact he’s pushed back at all is incredible. This isn’t “gay marriage is a good thing” or “black people should use fountains” — the existence of Israel and western influence in that area is possibly worth trillions of dollars. Joe’s listening, he just knows more than us. Obviously.

Just have Harris murder them before they're sworn in and keep double tapping every new one that shows up until the state legislature get the message.

Impeachment is a joke and the scotus said presidents are immune. She can literally do whatever she wants.

Money is literally power.

It is a coupon that commands a fraction of labor and capital combined.

Ultimately, they are cowards. And when they see the numbers of voters for the progressives, most will abandon that when we also see that a huge amount of progressives are well armed.

The difference between Roe and progressive policies is that said policies are broadly popular with the electorate. Making durable, unpopular changes under minority rule is virtually impossible with our federal legislature, and the right had to finally luck out and enact them by installing enough Supreme Court justices willing to upend the system. From a long-term view, Roe wasn't a sustained effort, or at least not a successful one until very recently. The evangelicals had been losing support on the issue every year and exploited a crack in the system that McConnell exposed in 2016.

The GOP and the conservative coalition within the Democratic Party can't afford to allow significant progressive policy through even once because it becomes political suicide to repeal without years of propaganda and budgetary ratfucking. Obamacare is the latest example. It's not even close to the same effort level.

A second New Deal Congress is coming within our lifetimes. The demographics say it's inevitable (as long as we have elections, anyway). Yes, it will take work, and it starts in the primaries.

I agree with you completely that need more than 2-4 years to correct the course. But we could get decades of actual progress if we just fix one glaring issue now.

We need to abolish the electoral college.

That alone would decimate any chances that the republican party has of winning a presidential election anytime soon, at least with thier current platform. It wouldn't be everything, but it would be a damn good start.

I doubt he would know how. Suppose his cell mate could teach him, if he asks nicely.

Now why would truth social be OK with you guys and Twitter is not?

First time I've ever clicked a truth social link
