It scares me just how many people don't realize that this is AI

AI is not helping

Listen, I don't like Earle-Sears and I'll be voting for her opponent Spanberger in the fall, but that's not the point she's making here.

Isn't it weird how when public figures start getting public backlash they almost always start moving to the right?

Where's DOGE at? How can we afford the $1 billion+ it'll take to actually make it into Air Force One when we've already purchased planes from Boeing?

In the past they said she wasn't a real doctor because she wasn't an MD, so they definitely know. Which makes the post even worse.
comment in response to post
I think that's the point. He most likely knows this and just like in the past, he's trying to diminish her title because she isn't an MD.

Newsom is speed running the destruction of any presidential ambitions he might've had.

"It's not corruption if I do it out in the open!"

Weird how for 4 years Biden was somehow unable to replace DeJoy, now within just a couple months, Trump is able to replace his own pick.
comment in response to post
That's some BS

I don't think he's that clever. He's just senile.

Newsom is doing an excellent job of tanking his 2028 primary odds
comment in response to post
People will try to say she's "unelectable" and won't be able to appeal to moderates across the aisle, as if gay man, black man, Jew, gov of Cali, or a black woman would fair any better.

The amount of "Dems" I've seen dragging Bernie on this app lately is a bit concerning.

Have you ever seen a physical newspaper before?

How very America First of them
comment in response to post
If you consistently propose popular policies that benefit the working class and they never get passed and the main criticism is about how they're "socialist," then that just shows that the other politicians who refuse to pass them don't actually care about the working class.
comment in response to post
I think this says more about every other politician than it does about Bernie

Immigrants will still come to the US, but now if they work it will be under the table. Reducing tax revenue for the government and increasing the likelihood that employers will abuse them even more.
comment in response to post
That's nice and all, but still not enough. Need at least 20 GOP senators and 77 GOP House members.
comment in response to post
It is now a prerequisite to support SCOTUS reform for any Dem presidential candidate. Dems should not give the time of day to any candidate who isn't in favor of using the power of the presidency to reign in this rogue court.
comment in response to post
Booker definitely should not be on the ticket
comment in response to post
That sucks
comment in response to post
If a candidate wants to win the Dem primary, they should make it a point to not repeat the mistakes of the Obama and Biden administrations and commit to prosecuting officials from this current administration.

I thought it was disrespectful to not wear a suit to the Oval Office

Why are you still minority leader?

When some of the richest owners in baseball give you a budget of just $50m to find a new DH, 1st baseman, 3rd baseman, starters, and relievers, you probably won't end up with the best in any of those spots.

So you're saying it would be good for a reporter to go to prison just so the people responsible for the leak feel a little bit more embarrassed?
comment in response to post
That's not how that works. Just because they say something is declassified doesn't actually mean it is. Like how Trump tried to say all the docs in his bathroom were declassified when they weren't.
comment in response to post
Bad take. The administration is obviously lying that there was no classified material. So if he releases the texts, they will almost certainly go after him for releasing classified material to the public.
comment in response to post
Just because they say it isn't classified doesn't actually mean they aren't classified. Like how Trump tried to argue that he declassified the documents in his bathroom just by saying so, didn't actually affect their classification.

Schumer is trying to gaslight us. It was never about choosing the lesser of two evils and reducing the amount of harm Musk/Trump could cause to the country. He got a call from Wall Street telling him to keep the government open and like a good little dog he did just that.

Now force Schumer out of leadership
comment in response to post
Those 38 must now move to have Schumer resign as minority leader.
comment in response to post
Simply voting No on the CR is no longer good enough. Dems now need to vote for new leadership.
comment in response to post
This has been a disasterclass political messaging. Instead of everyone being focused on how bad the Republicans are for causing a shutdown, Schumer has now shifted the focus to how disconnected the Democratic Party leadership is from the rank and file members.
comment in response to post
Any Democrat who thinks that persuading Trump supporters is an effective campaign strategy should be nowhere near electoral politics.
comment in response to post
In other words, the backlash will only be limited to the people that put us in office. If they detest their supporters this much, then why not just switch parties already?
comment in response to post
Sure Newsom is gearing up to run for president, but having Steve Bannon on your podcast to spew lies with no pushback seems like a terrible strategy to win a Democratic primary.
comment in response to post
The real question is who was able to convince him to go from 'Dems WILL NOT help Republicans' to 'Dems MUST help Republicans' in the span of just 24 hours?
comment in response to post
Progressives need to start really pushing for ranked choice voting nationwide. We desperately need a progressive third party in this country.
comment in response to post
Senate Dems need to show that they are determined to stand up for the people. That not only includes voting no on the GOP budget, but now, also voting to replace Schumer as minority leader.
comment in response to post
Is he really that fucking stupid? Or is he just working for the other side?
comment in response to post
Democrats: All-time low approval numbers. Schumer: Voting with Republicans and betraying our base will surely help with that.
comment in response to post
Schumer shouldn't be considered a Democrat. Democrats need to put him as their leader.
