  • No, we just need to do exactly what NYC just did and show up to the primary and vote for the progressive. They run all the time, but mostly just retirees vote in them, then everyone complains about the two centrists on the ballot.

    It’s really that simple. Vote in primaries.

  • Instead of thinking about that unrelated grudge you have, how about we focus on how this happened?

    Mamdani won because WE SHOWED UP and VOTED IN THE PRIMARY.

    This is how we replace the establishment centrists in the Democratic Party.

    VOTE. IN. PRIMARIES.

  • Exactly. They’re already going to get the votes of the people who only pay enough attention to vote Working Families in the general election. We just need to replace those candidates with progressives in the primaries. It’s shouldn’t be too difficult with the current <15% attendance. Mamdani saw a whopping 30% turnout.

  • Why do people keep talking about candidates like they’re gifts?

    He won a PRIMARY. We get progressives in NY primaries ALL THE TIME. The only difference with Mamdani’s win is that WE SHOWED UP.

    This is how we take control of our Congress. Vote. In. Primaries.

  • Yup. Primaries are how we do something about it. You know how many times I voted for someone in the primary other than Schumer in the last 28 years?

    Democratic primaries see less than 15% turnout in congressional elections, yet people wonder why nothing changes. Do you know who always shows up? Retirees, and they typically love the incumbent centrist.

  • This is the level of integrity and honesty we’re dealing with here.

  • I agree with you if she has a bad voting record overall. This vote alone is meaningless. The point was to get it on record. An impeachment hearing would do more harm than good, knowing full well we don’t have the votes for removal.

  • They’re the most effective way to increase our numbers. Everyone has an opinion on the internet, yet most people still watch protests on their phones. The people who sit out protests at times like this are often the same ones who sit out midterm elections.

  • These are the third articles of impeachment this term. They’re not going anywhere until after next November.

  • Nah. Al Green and Shri Thanedar’s articles were filed and shelved in the same day as well. They’re just doing it to have them on record. It’s a waste of Senate floor time when they would be conducting oversight hearings, challenging provisions in Republican bills, and collecting the information needed for the ACLU to take these cases to the courts.

    Despite the constant criticism, people who watch CSPAN are fully aware of how Democrats are using every last second of their floor time to challenge this regime.

  • My comment about The Hague is referring to the NATO summit in The Netherlands happening today and tomorrow.

    Otherwise, I expect he’ll fuck off to a non-extradition Middle Eastern country after his presidency. He’s building enough resorts to have several options.

  • Dropping F-bombs to the press, calling AOC stupid, and Schumer a Palestinian this morning. Dude’s gonna be shitposting the whole way to The Hague. Can’t wait for the next two days of NATO summit highlights from this very stable genius.

  • Local Snapshots have been available on OSX and MacOS since 2011 as long as you use Time Machine to make backups.

  • Why would Democrats challenge actions of a war they secretly support just to be put on record voting for them? There’s no logic to that argument.

  • Republicans famously want a war with Iran. I don’t think the Democrats will vote for it.

  • Good. Let’s see the votes.

  • Removed

    Isn't this racism?

  • If anything, it would be nationalist. Neither Afghani nor American are races.
