They are dumb and know nothing about US politics. That's why they're terrified of primaries.

Every media outlet needs to have a headline like this every fucking day

They are conservatives.

artificialmcb.bsky.social•6 days ago

Genuinely of the opinion the internal conservative backlash within the Democratic party is ready to just throw every queer person, no matter how ‘respectable’, under the bus for daring to assert any social or political power that defies their flabby grasp on power.

At this point, the surprise disgusts me.

Neo-liberal democrats are covert fascists. This is NOT hyperbole.

Take this seriously and you will stop being so shocked at what’s been plainly written on the wall.

There comes a point where you are judged as either retarded, or willfully ignorant.

Because they are still playing politics as usual and completely not understanding the moment. That they think this is a political win for them in today's environment is just crazy...

Immediately e-mailed my Elected Fucks to yell at this about this.

Got to create the problem in order to campaign on selling a solution.

Because they want to. They are choosing to support the administration’s efforts because they agree with them

There are two faces of liberal capitalism being presented to voters, and neither of them are easy to explain as 'great'.

What are their positions on antisemitism and, specifically, the definition of it? Do they believe criticism of Israel is antisemitic? Could that be a reason to support KOSA?

In the wise words of Tucker Carlson, I'm just asking questions.

grairdan.bsky.social•6 days ago

A lot of them are on the record in agreeing with this, including the Senate Minority Leader.

Yup, you got it. Both are AIPAC funded.

It has far far been time for us to Primary Democrat Dinosaurs and their methods. Its getting far too fucking old.

marnimoon.bsky.social•5 days ago

Israel? Both Schumer and Blumenthal are bought and paid for by AIPAC.

"Save the children."

manticorn.bsky.social•6 days ago

Over and over again, members of the GOP introduce "child protection" censorship bills, which would disproportionately target LGBTQ+ people. When Democrats strike it down, those GOP members come crying to their gullible supporters that those "nasty pedophile Democrats don't want us to protect kids."

Fuck @blumenthal.senate.gov and @schumer.senate.gov! These ghouls need to be primaried!

maswartz.bsky.social•4 days ago

Because they're out of touch with tech and honestly don't understand what this bill will do.

Nothing like Dems continuing to be complicit in creeping authoritarianism and then wondering why they lose elections.

Maybe they should try actually opposing the admin.

mysteryshopper.bsky.social•6 days ago

Maybe they would like an authoritarian state?

highgainlowmood.bsky.social•6 days ago

For Dems in office right now, an authoritarian state is just a side effect they can live with if it keeps them in office where they can maintain access to the ultimate in insider trading tips. I think what people need to realize is that almost nobody in power actually believes in anything.

mysteryshopper.bsky.social•5 days ago

I think it's irrelevant to the outcome, largely. Even if every Dem in office was as fierce as Jasmine Crockett, AOC, Jamie Raskin, this coup will only be stopped by physical violence and that needs young men; of which we do not have enough on our side.

trumpstenacity.bsky.social•5 days ago

That didn't stop y'all in 1861. Dems attacked Fort Sumter, igniting the first Civil War, after which Republicans killed 360,000 of ya'll until you surrendered. Then we liberated your Black slaves only to have y'all create Jim Crow, the KKK, lynchings, & oppose the Reconstruction Amendments. Bring It
