In Bernie's egotistical mind it is. That's why he continued campaigning in 2016 months after he had already lost. Cult-like BS followers translated into money for him. The grift continues.

Does this analogy work? If SCOTUS ruled 5-4 that consuming beer on Sundays is constitutional, then Trump thinks he can just write an executive order to create new beers out of thin air to make them illegal to consume on Sundays?

We mostly agree with the DSA platforms, but they run around and call us monsters so we've learned to neither trust them nor respect them. For instance, mainstream Dems have been the only party fighting for civil rights or the climate now that DSA abandoned those issues, and honestly they aren't

I'm not saying I fully support DSA locally or nationally, but I'm not averse to voting for their candidates if they are proposing things that I agree with. It is true that mainstream Democrats have not been getting us what we needed including wins against Trump.

Letitia James is a literal blue state dem. This is why we lose. Misplaced anger is going to get republicans elected all down the ballot. Just like in 2024.

He's already indicated he's gonna dog any 2028 presidential candidate that doesn't adhere to [his] world view. One trap his buddy Mamdani has already set for 2028 is saddling every Democratic candidate with the fallacy about a US president being able to enforce the ICC warrant against Netanyahu.

If you are rabidly upset w/AIPAC or Democrats in a way you have nevaever been w/the Koch brothers, Peter Thiel, Elon Musk & republicans, I say this to you loudly and unequivocally, **YOU** are an enormous part of the problem, along w/the rest of your MAGA parents, aunts/uncles, cousins and friends.

And you still need a significant number of Trump Biden Trump voters to pull the lever for you in November to win. This candidate is like a guy you dated in the past who may be nice but his friends make you very uncomfortable and you ended up choosing to avoid him.

Dems couldn't win Michigan in 2024 with Blacks and Jews providing overwhelming support for Harris. What makes them think that harassing Blacks and Jews online is going to have them want to turn out for a DSA candidate this year? Do they really think there's enough votes in Dearborn?

So sick of this shit. Nicolle Wallace is always talking about how the Dems don't have a message. Then she spent 15 minutes grilling Mallory McMorrow about Dems in disarray in Michigan. Didn't ask ONE question about what the Dems would do if they take back Congress.

Sit back and watch who doesn't even mention the Voting Rights Act today.

The DSA will keep riding the horse that got them to the rodeo. That horse's name is "Bashing Democrats." Because the goal now is to stay in elected office. That means bashing Democrats. Bashing Republicans doesn't turn out their base in a primary.

DSA should be going after Republicans not Democrats.

I know that... You know that... Someone want to tell the DSA that?

It's funny watching all these Republicans on MSNBC claiming they now like democratic socialism. These people spent their entire lives saying capitalism was God's ultimate gift to humanity. They are playing in our faces to bring down the Democratic Party. Leaving ONE party rule for decades.

The stupidest thing I ever heard was "run government like a business." I don't know any business that can spend money they don't have, control a military, and kidnap people off the street and deport them to another country.

“I am not a Democrat” Sanders? That guy? He just borrows the party infrastructure and money like he used to borrow his neighbor’s electricity.

Veronica McDonald@veronicamcdonald.bsky.social · yesterday

HOLD UP WAIT AN ENTIRE MINUTE! Bernie Sanders is telling James Carville that if James Carville doesn't like leftists invading the Democratic Party James Carville needs to leave the Democratic Party? Is that right?

I'm not a socialist. I'm a Democrat. With that said, I would vote for El Sayed because as a Black man I believe in harm reduction. Most White people DO NOT believe in harm reduction. And it's A LOT of White people in Michigan.

The bill always comes due for socialism, Steph. Mamdani is spending and spending when the economic experts are saying he's setting NYC up for a very bad fiscal situation in the next decade. @stephaniemiller.bsky.social

No one, least of all the now candidate, can objectively argue and be considered serious, that this race was anything other than close. Far from a mandate. It’s now on the victor, not only to set the tone, but hold all who speak for him accountable for what they do in his name. Including online.

politiburb@politiburb.bsky.social · yesterday

Abdul El-Sayed's final margin of victory seems to officially be just barely under one point. I would like everyone to pause and ask themselves whether El-Sayed would have endorsed Stevens as quickly as she endorsed him if she had won the primary by a margin of 0.97%. Just food for thought.

Please look at the replies to every post she has on here and ask yourself who on earth would unite with these maggots? Same Bernie Bros that behaved like assholes in every election since 2016. They are a cancer

Rep. Haley Stevens@rephaleystevens.bsky.social · 3d ago

NEW: The Senate is taking my lead to block Trump from letting his cronies control federal funding. I’ve been leading the charge on this in the House. It’s why I introduced my Protect Local Funding Act to stop Trump from throwing out our longstanding nonpartisan federal grant process.

Where was unity & fighting for democracy in November 2024? These same folks held their votes & openly campaigned against Dem candidates.... we didn't have to be here. There's permanent damage being done that will never be fixed.... so please...

These are the people who voted for El Sayed.

The people of Michigan didn't choose El Sayed. A small subset of democratic voters in Michigan chose El Sayed. Y'all think winning the primary means he won the general. I mean, have you met any white people who have gotten over 9/11 and who they blame for it? @stephaniemiller.bsky.social

Haley Mills? It's Haley Stevens. How long are Chris and Jody going to allow Steph to lose her mind and not get her the help she needs? @stephaniemiller.bsky.social Does she not have anyone acting in her best (medical) interests?

Just 49% of Americans said they understand democratic socialist policies. Some 27% said democratic socialists have at least some good ideas. Another 27% said MAGA Republicans have some good ideas. Not good when MAGA and the DSA have the same percent of good ideas. www.reuters.com/world/us/dem...

People with 6 teeth defending people with 8 yachts is one of the greatest political achievements in modern history.

“If Mr. Carville doesn't want to be in my party….” It should be bigger news when an elderly Senator forgets he’s not a member of any party. Or that time he actually started his own party and it failed miserably.

Bernie Sanders: If Carville Doesn't Want To Be In The Party Of Hasan Piker and El-Sayed, "He Can Start His Own Party"

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) on Tuesday responded to veteran Democratic strategist James Carville saying the Democratic Party isn't big enough for both himself and Hasan Piker. In an interview on CNN, ...

If he loses, then we have our answer on the populist left. Because let's be clear. In this environment, Democrats shouldn't lose any seats they currently hold. When El Sayed loses, and he will, that will be our answer, and Ken Martin better wake the hell up.

"...about the $$ we give to countries" ~Amy and a Cat But is it really about the money we give to countries, or is it about which countries we give money to? Because we spend 10x more dropping bombs on countries than we "give" to countries.

Amy and a Cat@amyandacat.bsky.social · yesterday

1/4 I’m just a middle aged midwestern mom but I wish the democrats would listen to people like me. We’re not “going communist or socialist.” Most of us can’t define those terms. But we are pissed about the $$ we give to countries that enjoy way more benefits than we do.

"In 1968, Anthony Fauci fulfilled his Vietnam War-era national service obligation by joining the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps as a commissioned officer, holding the rank equivalent to a surgeon general/captain." #YellowBerets Trump = dodging. Fauci = serving.

How evil do you have to be to harass an almost 90-year-old man until you kill him? Republicans, and people who vote for Republicans, are some of the most evil people on the planet.
