She’s just the only one that actually seems to give a shit about who she represents. Whereas both for Republicans and Democrats the vast majority of our “representation”
While I agree with almost everything you said, there's really no good reason to make a statement like that and leave Bernie in with the "vast majority" group. 🙂
The man has walked the walk for a very long time. (Yes he's too old to run for office now, but he deserves his due!)
Do you think people need to be annoyed or reminded of this 24/7?
I'm really sorry that it may annoy you to be reminded of all the non-white folks who continue to struggle under a now increasingly racist nation. A nation, I might add, which is on an upward trajectory of bigotry and racism due to the current president, who I am 100% sure is directly or indirectly responsible for the removal of the slogan.
It was a visible, ongoing show of support from a wealthy, large organization, which carries impacts beyond what individual football fans may need to be reminded about.
Dude, I bet you barely noticed it was even there until there was a headline about it being removed. Don't pretend some fucking blot has been removed from your otherwise pristine, non-politicized sporting event and you can finally relax.
And if it was a constant source of irritation for you, I stand by my prior comment.
I love all these "it's illegal" and "he has no authority" articles.
Until someone stops him, he has the authority. The man isn't going to stop because you wave a piece of paper at him, and neither are his cronies.
I hope these kinds of stories embolden or empower the folks trying to stand up to him, but its already clear he'll physically remove people from offices if needed. How long before the dissenters are just on the next plane to Gitmo while every Republican voter either cheers him on, stands by silently, or doesn't even know it's happening?
We're already at the point where if we go one hair further we never get another election. I'm not 100% sure we aren't already past that point.
I've chased Dems as they've run right for voters, with the implied promise that if only they had control they'd be pulling some things in the other direction, for multiple decades. I have supported and agreed with the folks who have pointed out that during their only short period of real control they did manage to get the ACA (and probably other things I'm forgetting) passed.
They need another strategy than "we're going to chase the less crazy R voters" if they want my vote again. They need a strategy other than "follow us to the right and we promise we'll pull left when we can."
Because events like this (and I well know there are many more), combined with how aggressively Kamala chased R voters, to the detriment of campaigning for D votes, make me feel that the only people who ever thought they had an intent to let progressive or even non-geriatric voices hold power were the idiots like me who kept voting for them.
I'm only going to get Charlie Browned so many times, and 2024 showed me exactly how many times.
As a non Democrat, why would Democrats try to pull away republicans when republicans have been playing politics like a team game?
No disagreement from me.
Build your own damn team and give them a reason to be on your team.
Yep
Biden and Harris only got my votes because Trump has shown himself to be a piece of shit and Republicans are either throwing a blind eye or playing along in his game or Nazi.
Yep. But we can't sink any lower, so that was the last time. If we get another election, they need to inspire me with something better than just being less conservative than the Nazi party.
You watch. They will double down on trying to peel away Republicans.
This was my last vote for "not as bad as Trump." They need to sit down with the few progressives they've allowed to force their way into the party and bring me a platform I can feel good about. Step one of that is going to be not continuing the rightward slide of the party.
This was already as bad an election outcome as I could possibly imagine, DNC. If we have an actual framework for free elections still in existence for the next one, I'm not going to vote for what I hope and think you might do if you can suck up to enough conservatives to get you into the whitehouse. You need to come with a platform that's going to excite me.
Sure. Like anyone at all believes AOC or Bernie is going to flip to R.
After I replied to you I read the rest of the discussion and saw how absolutely willing you are to be a jerk about it, and how absolutely unwilling you were to consider any other point of view, so you actually needn't have replied, and had I seen that first I would not have commented.
That's a pretty interesting thing to know, thanks for mentioning it!
