I understand why not to panic about birthright citizenship. My question is whether this ruling could lead to Trump to issue any insane EOs that now could not be blocked nationwide by a district judge.

That is also true. While I disagree with those who didn’t vote, the Dems need to get rid of the AIPAC cancer if they want to win general elections.

She could have certainly been better on Gaza (she is not a Zionist like Biden but there’s still AIPAC) but she was going to be better on pretty much everything else.
comment in response to
post
It is a dig because it’s not like Trump was going to be any better on that and he’s worse on everything else including women’s rights, treatment of minorities, etc.

Mine is 20% MAGA lunatics, 13% Trump voters “for the memes”/“bros”, 32% Kamala voters, 5% “purity leftists” non-voters, 30% disenfranchised/apathetic non-voters

So you endorse a rapist and push Franken out of Congress for a silly picture? And now you say that Zohran is an antisemite without any evidence? You have become the most despicable Democrat in the Senate. Congratulations.

The only liberals Kirk interacts with are the teenage girls he is grooming. The main benefits of immigration are diversity of ideas and increase in economic output, which are good for the world but terrible for cults.

Show me why you are better than El-Sayed and I’ll vote for you. Zohran’s win in NYC should send a message to all Democrats who think that “not being MAGA” is not enough.

If you truly cared about affordability you would have been happy that Zohran won but you are coping harder than Charlie Kirk. Make sure that your handlers have something good for you after you get voted out of office.

Exactly. The fact that he is triggering the MAGAts so hard should strengthen the left but the Carville types can always manage to ruin everything.
comment in response to
post
I fail to see how this helps the right other than feeding them with some hate but maybe this is their way to push the Dem establishment to marginalize Zohran for a Slotkin type, which will likely lose to any MAGA.

It will be up to the people to get rid of the corporate Dems in Congress. I would start by targeting the reps who voted against impeachment.
comment in response to
post
Do we finally understand how ridiculous it is to call Zohran’s policies “extreme”? He would be center-left in any other country but I guess trying to help ordinary people is called “extreme” here.

Time to find some hobbies and enjoy your grandkids, old men. There is more to life than feeling important.

The base has spoken. Either you care about winning elections or enriching yourselves. More connecting with ordinary people, less out of touch consultants.

I see that as a general problem of the left, not only regarding this issue. The right has been working for decades to change the culture and the left has done nothing about it so the goalpost keeps moving to the right.
comment in response to
post
You have white men on the left who are young and probably don’t have kids that don’t see women’s rights as a top issue. On the other hand, it is part of the GOP doctrine (especially today) for men to marry women they can control, therefore the right will be more militant about this issue.

They tried everything to defeat the progressive but still didn’t work. The Democratic Party will have to choose between money and winning elections.
comment in response to
post
Is this the best argument you have to criticize those who didn’t vote? I did vote for Kamala but because I knew Trump was not going to be any better on this issue and a lot worse on a host of social issues. AIPAC is the cancer of the Democratic Party.

Sanitizing bigots isn’t going to help you either. You just need to appeal to the working class without paying attention to the culture wars the right wing loves to bring up. If someone cares more about 10 trans athletes in the NCAA than anything else it’s their problem.

Poor white men. First, the “male loneliness epidemic” and now “the inability to offend anyone without fearing any consequences”. These poor souls can’t catch a break. God forbid you ask them to treat women and minorities as equals.

So I hear “libertarians” talk about foreign wars but not about this or pregnant women dying in parking lots due to doctors being afraid of going to jail. I must be missing something.

These people represent 20% of the country. Millions who appear “normal” on the outside are literally insane, and are always trying to recruit.

He just had a glitch. He is rich and an icon of one of the most bigoted segments in the country (UFC fans). You know I am not a doomer but I’m skeptical on this one.

Same for those “pundits” who were supposedly on the left and were saying that Trump being a fascist or implementing Project 2025 was crazy talk.

Imagine voting for this or skipping the election because “I hate the establishment”.
comment in response to

But remember we are always the good guys, “they hate us ‘cause they hate us”.
comment in response to

Not surprising at all. On the bright side, this is not going to move the needle, since nobody other than the Zionists (who are already pushing for this war) are buying this bs.
comment in response to

I agree with you 100% but unfortunately we have these privileged types that look for “purity”, and even if I don’t like it, this did have an impact on the election.

Crazy how some men call women “emotional” but this mofo felt humiliated after his parade so he just started a war.

If Dems would not be captured by AIPAC and the other oligarchs they would win every general election by a landslide. Whether we like it or not millions didn’t feel like voting for Kamala, and some people who voted for Trump were “gettable”.

Thank you for addressing this, Mallory. And please don’t ever sell your soul to AIPAC.

Any word on Trump bombing Iran or are you just waiting for the talking points from AIPAC? Moments like these is where we see who is who.

Why are people so offended by Kat criticizing the establishment Dems? That only means that if there is any hope for things to get better, it will come from the Democrats. The Republicans are all useless cowards.

What is your position on what is happening in the Middle East? Any Democrat who supports unnecessary wars should not be in Congress.
comment in response to

We knew this “peace” thing was just as intellectually dishonest as the “so long as immigrants are legal I don’t have a problem”. Bigotry and cruelty are the foundation of MAGA.

They are a cult, don’t be naive. Boots on the ground might make some turn on him, though. Having said that, we need the independents more than we do MAGA.

You have the nerve to talk about international law when it’s clear that it doesn’t apply to the aggressors here. What an embarrassment you are. At least the neocons are more honest about what they want.

I agree, Jeffrey. Now can you explain why you think the West is evil but not Russia?
comment in response to

Maybe we would need people like Bernie or AOC (who have appeal with the working class) to lead a “movement” (not necessarily a party) first and run against establishment Dems in the primaries.

Cenk is so delusional that he thinks he is influencing MAGA to turn on Trump when it is basically Trump himself doing it. And his way of “influencing” MAGA is by pretending that they “just have a different opinion”.
comment in response to

Creativity? He got himself into this mess and now he is paralyzed as he has the neocons and Putin pulling him in opposite directions.

I assume you’d rather let rain wash your car than go to a car wash place (like me). Congrats on the almost 300k, you might have to start preparing for a Piers Morgan appearance.

True, but do you think it is a mere coincidence that he is doing this on Juneteenth?

It’s amazing how these white women who couldn’t find Iran in a map all of a sudden feel the itch to “liberate” them. I don’t see any of these same women doing anything to stop the Gestapo raids currently happening in America.

In this country, being an atheist is more disqualifying from public office than being a rapist.
comment in response to

Women’s rights and treatment of minorities are two areas where there is a significant difference between both parties. Most of these “communists” are white males that are more interested in proclaiming that they are not “normies” than in minimizing social damage.

Looks like Trump is losing the podcast bros and just retaining the Fox News boomers.

No need to sound like a “centrist”. Fascism is already here. The fact that TACO is still not able to get everything he wants does not mean we are not in a fascist regime.
