It’s not just 🇺🇸 & it's not just the GOP. It's a global effort by the rich & powerful. The IDU/International Democracy Union is a "Global Alliance of the "Centre" Right". They work towards getting RW people and parties elected globally.Our old 🇨🇦RW Prime Minister (b4 Trudeau) is the Chair. https://www.idu.org/
It's no longer a republican party. Adam Kinzinger, a former republican made that very clear. It's a Nazi party cult that follows the orders of a convicted felon who pardons convicted felons. This is what the "stupids" of America elected as THEIR president. It's a Cult. Full Stop.
It is disheartening that so many responded to this post with something like, “Democrats took their money too!” Campaign financing needs reform, sure. But what this moment in history calls for is party unity. When your house is on fire, you don’t worry about whether you mopped the kitchen floor.
I am so discouraged at the rising opposition to unity in the DNC. Unity, regardless of petty differences, is the only path to victory. Why can't rational adults set aside their egos and ambitions for a unified purpose to re- instate our Constitutional government?
This is well said. I think we could really benefit from having a Party leader we can all rally behind right now. Like having a nominating convention early and declaring this person the figurehead of our anti-fascist movement and here is our platform. There are many great candidates. Who do you like?
A good track record in governing, budgets and administration is important to me. For now, I like Gov JB Pritzker and Gov Wes Moore. Dems must be very cautious to not drive new and swing voters away. It will require an army of experts to put the federal Constitutional government back together again.
Both are smart choices, but I’m torn. I feel like moderate voters are a myth. 1/3 of voters will vote Democratic no matter what and 1/3 will never vote Democratic because we’re too woke. The last 1/3 are too disillusioned/apathetic to vote. Let’s go head and be woke, but also energize the apathetic.
Agree. Do they think that if the D's didn't take money they would have magically prevailed thanks to some fairness fairy?Which party do they think is more likely to implement election financing reforms? Also, I suspect that a lot of the people who say that probably couldn't be bothered to vote...
We need more people like you to point out that what looks stupid to us, is their way of collapsing our economy so they can buy it all up in the final fire sale as it crashes.
Gratitude!
2/2 Maga & Kremlin propaganda accomplished 2 great victories-
Convincing Americans that they are too smart to be influenced, and that Maga is too stupid to be a serious threat to democracy.
Flip those around and game out how we would react differently.
They also bought 1/4 of the democrats also to varying degrees on different issues to insure that the Dems cannot really harm them with a BuildBackBtter bill. If anyone thinks Manchin and Sinema were the only ones- they are deluded.
A sizable portion of our electorate are un/misiformed cretins due to right wing media run by those vile, fascist oligarchs and the utter failure of our other mainstream media outlets.
I agree with part of this. Both parties receive TONS of money from oligarchs. They just bent the knee when this one came along, because his plans benefit them the most.
I disagree. This is the Republican agenda and is what they've been working towards since Reagan. They're using Trump to push their agenda through because he has MAGA support.
My point is that the Republican agenda came before Trump and they're using him to push it through, not bending the knee. This is what they want, he's not forcing them.
Thank you, I agree with that. My point though, is that if it wasn't for those billionaire money on the Democratic side, We'd probably have more active leadership. Instead of roll over and play dead. I am also not attributing this to Jess, but the Democratic Parties leadership.
Honestly, it's good we're finally down to it. Ever since the late-60s, it's been Wall Street and the white supremacists on one side and Main Street and inclusivity on the other. Wall Street has been getting their way by throwing bones to the white supremacists. It's time for them to go down.
The Democrats are the housekeepers telling us to clean up our rooms. I personally like neat,clean and efficient but those MAGA followers don't want the bother, let the house fall down. Right winger power brokers think progress reduces their status and their $ will shield them from the collapse, GLWT
Where are the states' AGS or County District Attorneys when persons in their political subdivisions require protections under state laws from organized criminal activity, regardless of it being Ordered by the President, Organized by his Adminstrators & executed by federal agents. Enfoce state laws!
People are rightfully asking each other to step up but no one seems to be asking why state officials aren't. No arrest warrants, no due process and no lawful resistance from state officials sworn to uphold state laws to protect People in states? I don't understand it. What about state rights?
Yeah, I get it about Red States but Blue State governments not asserting their Rights of state control over the federal government's encroachment of federal power, which is unlawful on its face? Warrantless arrests, no due process without proper identification? Ugotabkidnme.
To 'Represent the People of the State of-' is the sole duty of State Attorneys Generals and County District Attorneys. To claim State Rights in order to enforce state laws to protect public safety and maintain civil peace. Trump is instigating & provoking street fights, states should intervene.
Yes, but there are things that are (or at least should be [See Ted Cruz]) of more value than money or career. If there were only some way to show them how their actions are going to directly impact those that they love.
I don't think conveying that it isn't in the legislation will be required.
Yes, 100%.
It took me too long to realize that Repubs aren’t “afraid of being primaried,” or even town halls. They are bought and paid for, probably with invisible crypto. Duh, I said to myself, of course. There’s probably a sliding scale.
...and anyone who doesn't believe this, who still votes for ANY Republican, is doing so because they are pre-disposed to a) punch down, and believe somebody is magically getting something they deserve, and 2) predisposed to racism. Republicans in Congress could stop all this insanity TODAY.
Oligarchs are one faction of MAGA. MAGA is a coalition of single issue voters: racists bigots; misogynists; anarchists; and, Oligarchs. If Civil Rights activists, environmentalists, all public and industrial union members coalesced in unified support of political candidates we may defeat MAGAs.
If you see it as going back to the Panic after 1917, it's a longer game than that.
Militant socialism scares the absolute hell out of the generational wealth class. That's why for decades they socially engineered a disarmed, insular, Pseudo-Left in the USA; while touting the Gospel of Prosperity.
And now the techno-oligarchs (Thiel, Musk, etc.) have Palantir up and running and will own America through a massive database which can be used to control and rule America. Vance had Thiel's backing and is a willing acolyte. Trump will be "retired" and Vance ascends, ruler for life.
We’ll get nowhere unless we recognize that the oligarchs bought Dems too.
We’ll follow them to the next bait and switch unless we do the hard shadow work now and stop supporting manipulative dipshits selling out for the #jobsjobsjobs by #techtyranny Oligarchy #lilboybitches
It's interesting, though... in Maine, we voted with a large majority to seriously limit campaign contributions. Republicans (not democrats) immediately balked and are fighting against us on it.

The oligarchs.
The technogarchs.
The Christian Nationalists.
The MAGA lunatics.
The GOP has become the true Big Tent Party.
#apartheid is implemented through legal segregation and discrimination.
Citizens United has destroyed us.

Those in leadership are too comfortable to stand up for us.
We need help!
Have you noticed what appears to be planned opposition?
There's a rea$on why.

GOPs sells put

Too many one issue voters who would sink everyone if they don’t get their one thing.
Between the Redhat/Lefty horseshoe, Dems, and halfwits, unity isn’t easy. Everyone is fighting for one thing and it’s not the country.
Do something!!
