Any Democrat over 50 is not up to the task. They’re as comfortable doing nothing about the Republicans as the Republicans are about do nothing about Trump.

Primary every bloody last one of them.

It's not age. Bernie and Warren are fighting. Hakeem, fairly young, utterly feckless. Better to judge people by what they do rather than relying on stereotypes. Of course stereotyping is easier.

The WaPo would love us to forget 2024 — the year it declined to take a stand on the Presidential election, retired “Democracy Dies in Darkness” and lost 200k or more subscribers.

But we wont forget.

Schumer and Jeffries pretty much AWOL

grsmn.bsky.social•34 days ago

The Washington Post as a vehicle for progress has been severely damaged. I cancelled my subscription with extreme prejudice.

Just posting a story from them is unlikely to gain the audience one might wish.

Reformulating the main points in your own writing would be more effective.. just saying.

Sane people are getting real close to unraveling the election was manipulated. This is not, not like Trump screaming "The election was rigged" Real examination.

the half-dozen types of vote suppression was enough to swing the election to the GOP. ( along with the built-in gerrymandering of the so-called Electoral College )

actual messing with electoral counts isn't easy, but will watch the video to see what/how the claim is..

over the past 40 years at least, I've watched the Congress, out of convenience and political expediency, give up many key powers to the Presidency.

it's been slouching toward this point.. reversal will be extremely difficult.

Break away NOW. There is NO messaging, NO negotiating, NO managing psychopaths. Plan to break away from red states NOW. Laws don’t matter if there is no enforcement. Get over it!

Sadly, wapo doesn’t actually gift this. Bezos needs more money.

How odd. I used one of my 10-free gift articles per month.

I'd read it if the WaPo would let me.

Defending democracy was a big part of the 100 day message from the VP Harris campaign and yet millions couldn't be bothered to vote.
