Wasn't going to vote Dem anyway, not going to vote for a republican either. Not playing this game. Every election the establishment says the same thing, vote for us & we'll save democracy...give you a hint, we never had it. observer.com/2017/08/court-a…

Democrats, the people gave us a mandate for bold, transformative change.
And our majority must meet their cries with action.

.@AOC can spend all day celebrating how she doesn’t take money from AIPAC but when she supports Hakeem Jeffries she is doing their work for free.

NEWS: 600,000-member Machinists union is urging Schumer not to seek another term as Senate Dem leader.
“We believe this is the right moment for a new generation to lead Senate Democrats,” IAM President Brian Bryant writes in a letter sent to the full caucus, obtained by @POLITICO w.@DashaBurns

You can’t claim to be “saving democracy” while actively going against the will of the people by forcing corrupt leaders like Jeffries and Schumer on us, who have lower approval ratings than even Trump. The Democrats are enemies of democracy and defenders of the failed status quo.
1 million people have signed the petition to stop Hakeem Jeffries and at the rally today in New York City protesters carried “No Schumer! No Jeffries!” signs.
Despite all this history tells us the not-so-Democratic party will ignore the will of the people and install both of these corrupt corporate politicians anyway.
This party doesn’t want to win victories for the people. It wants to keep winning victories for its corporate donors. Get out now!

Nah, we’re not doing this. We’re not coddling this white woman and pretending her Zionist owned ass isn’t responsible for her own fucking actions.

I love when I’m proven right. Democrats hate the left more than they hate the right.
James Carville says he'd rather have Republicans keep control of the House than Democrats winning the chamber by 5 seats.
"I would rather the Republicans keep the House by five than the Democrats win by five, because if that happens, they’re hostage to the DSA. Like, Hakeem cannot move. There’s no place for him to go."

Straight from the horses's mouth. Democrats don't want to be "hostage" to giving you what you want. They want Hakeem Jeffries, who had a secret meeting with Jared Kushner, to ignore you with impunity. And of course being in agreement with Bill Kristol is no problem for them.
🤔 @JamesCarville: “I’d rather Republicans keep the house by 5 than Dems win by 5… Because then they’re hostage to DSA, and Hakeem can’t move.”
😬@BillKristol: “Good point.”
So afraid of DSA folks who want M4ALL, etc. they’d rather Republicans hold power. Unreal. True colors.

It’s beyond sad. It’s beyond disappointing; at this point, it’s disqualifying for anyone with ambitions for higher office as a Democrat, or a Republican, for that matter, to be fighting to keep billionaires from being taxed while kids don’t have health insurance and the cost of living goes sky-high.
These billionaires are also the ones hellbent on replacing entire workforces with the AI they are developing with our tax dollars (watch the “Musk” doc). We are also living through the largest wealth gap in modern history. At this point, the only way to balance out the economic forces that have bought our politicians and keep rigging the game against working people is through taxes.
Let’s hope Gavin gets some sense and walks this back. It’s crazy that this is what he chooses to spend his political capital, and part of his legacy, doing. He vetoed the bill that would have put a “kill switch” on AI for our protection. He vetoed a bill that would have gotten forever chemicals out of cookware. Time and time again, he goes with corporate interests over the well-being of the people, even after his own bipartisan legislature votes for something.
And here we go again.
Gavin, we aren’t looking for the Democratic version of Trump. That was a good goof. Please try something else. It’s tired.
The people need a champion, man. A real, bona fide champion who isn’t just tough in tweets or press conferences, but tough when it comes to the real imbalances people are struggling with every day: billionaires vs. people and the planet.

Liberals are not leftists.
Liberals are right-lite with moral superiority complexes.
They maintain the status quo while telling leftists they’re fucking stupid for demanding action over performance.
Liberals are dangerous.

Currently, there are protests in France to fund education, in Spain to fund decent housing for all, and in Germany to oppose military expansion. People in Europe are waking up and realizing their governments serve capital and war, not people. Time for Americans to wake up too.

Her life experience presents such a striking contrast to the throng of wealthy lawyers that typically comprise our political system.
She sees her job as helping people like her. Chuck Schumer says his job is "to keep the left pro-Israel."
He's refusing to fund her campaign.
As Republicans demonize @AngieNixon, and JD Vance tells her "you don't belong in America," they run the risk of having it backfire. Nixon can be a compelling figure. Here she is getting emotional when I asked her to tell voters something personal about herself. @CBSMiami

Has Kamala Harris disavowed the complicity of her administration, or are we hopping straight to campaigning with the woman who lost the election over this very issue?
"I reveal in this book for the first time that Jake Sullivan personally questioned whether Palestinians were starving in Gaza...in the Biden era, there were fewer than five U.S. officials who were regularly in contact with Palestinians." -@AkbarSAhmed

this is a vile disgusting genocide-laundering Israel lobby J-Street script that was handed to him. Begins with and centers October 7 and "centuries of Jewish pain", laundering the genocidal lie that it was about targeting Jews instead of a mass murdering genocidal apartheid occupation death-cult that turned Gaza into the world's biggest concentration camp with routine actual massacres of children, women and men, not the Hannibal Directive rape-soldier and police inflated 1200 figure, all of which he entirely erases by pretending it all started on October 7. And then still refusing to recognize the genocide and instead using genocide-laundering "both sides, conflict" hasbara.
Fuck Ed Sheeran. He is a degenerate depraved scumbag piece of shit who would never dare say this about Ukraine or any other case where the entire media and political class determined that it was the Moral and Just cause, meaning that it involves zero risk to him and his half a billion dollars.

Listen. Symone and Eugene know. This is an act. Eugene is paid to have that confused look on his face. Symone is paid to redirect the attention back to Hasan instead of the apartheid he just mentioned. They’re actors. If they told the truth they wouldn’t be in those seats.
During his interview with MSNOW's Symone Sanders-Townsend and Eugene Daniels, Hasan Piker talks about Hamas, the Palestinian resistance as a whole and the issue with the concept of a 'perfect victim.' He compares it with other liberation movements throughout history: "And that is the issue at the heart of the matter; people want perfect victims. Whether they be Black people engaging in the Civil Rights' struggle, historically, whether it be the forces against apartheid in South Africa, whether it be the liberation struggle in Algeria. The expectation from the white moderate or the expectation from people who enjoy the order that exists in civilized society, is that people are not supposed to fight back and try to even match the intensity or the violence of the occupation, the colonial entity or the forces of police brutality that are defending white supremacy. So, that's the reason why I make this distinction. I want people to start thinking; what would they do in that situation? What would they do if they lived in the world's largest open air prison that's hermetically sealed, that is a nuclear armed state, that is backed by the most powerful entity on the planet?"

Wajahat Ali explains how the Macklemore story signifies a major cultural shift away from Israel and toward Palestine:
“What you’re witnessing is what happened in the 80s with the global turn against South African apartheid. Israel has lost the plot. They’ve lost the youth. They’ve lost the culture. It’s done. It’s over.”
