It’s not as if there aren’t more important issues that are vital to us that deserve more in-depth coverage by a legitimate press.

The corporatist Democrats are desperate to thwart progressive change in our society. They are the Republicans of 20 years ago. They are partly responsible for our current political catastrophe.

A coup d’etat.

NO, generally speaking, Dems are weak and too conservative, including Schumer, Pelosi and Hakeem Jeffries. Senators Sheldon Whitehouse, Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are doing best.

You didn’t mention the waterline valve in your complaint. So, maybe it’s you who knew more than “everyone else.”

No price up front, no job, very simple. Shop around. Google it and do it yourself. It takes less than an hour. It’s not brain surgery.

Trump’s Dept. of Homeland Security will be his Gestapo. ICE will enforce his orders.

It’s the same with transgender people. The fact of it was so misunderstood and so deeply hidden from society for so long that it is perceived as a new phenomenon today. It’s the uncomfortable, frightened ignorance that is most unnatural.

Why only anti-Christian bias? What about Christian bias against anything not Christian? What about Sunni Islamist bias against Shia Islamists or Protestants bias against Catholics or believers bias against non- believers?
Oh! No problem. That’s forbidden in the First Amendment of our Constitution.

“Contemporary culture includes everything from climate change denialism, Christofascist evangelism and economic elitism to environmentalism, freedom from religion and economic justice. Pope Francis seemed to promote the latter.

These self-righteous busybodies are incapable of understanding that their beliefs and opinions are not law. They don’t care that they are a very small minority in the USA. They insist that their fanatical so-called “faith” grants them authority over other people’s lives. It’s a form of mass insanity

Transgender and homosexuality in humans and other species occur naturally on Earth. Only religious dogma, ignorance, fear and hate could create conditions and social systems that make such non-issues controversial.

Correct! The Democratic Party & the Republican Party are two wings of the Capitalist Party.

The TWO PARTY SYSTEM is inadequate as a representative form of government. It easily lends itself to corruption. It thwarts serious dissension. It protects regressive social & political ideas that would be challenged in a more pluralistic political system. It’s become a “Good Cop/Bad Cop” trap.

Republicans have always been in favor of exploiting our resources for the maximum profitability of a few, with little or no regard to how the destruction of our environment would impact future generations. It’s been a “smash & grab” approach the allocation of our sustainable, collective wealth.

Escort Ms. Noem into that cell so she can charm her way into their hearts like she has the MAGA criminals.

This organization is a right wing, Libertarian group that seeks to eliminate all income and payroll taxes and, instead, fund a skeleton federal government through a regressive 23% federal sales tax on the purchase of all retail goods and services. That is an oligarchs favorite wet dream.

How long will the courts tolerate the vacuous arguments and insolent behavior of Trump’s punks?

They will first blame Musk for the Trump administration’s failures that affect them. They will never blame themselves for the hatefulness, gullibility or stupidity that caused them to support Trump.

Misogynistic? Berniebros? Ha!
Now, you have revealed yourself as a troll. Maybe you should get dressed, go outside and try to get a life.

There is nothing “far left” about Bernie Sanders or AOC. Neither universal single-payer healthcare nor free quality education are far left policies. They are standard, common and successful throughout the developed world. Progressive taxation is also common and beneficial to successful societies .

Equal rights, pro choice, etc. still enjoy majority support in the USA. The bell curve you cite is a figment of right wing propaganda. Recognizing Trump as a traitorous criminal psychopath is only the first step out of the fever swamp that has enabled and excited his oligarch friends and his minions

Democratic Party conservatives have controlled the party since the ‘80s. Citizens United has allowed them to be bribed like Republicans. They have enabled monopoly capitalism, the unchecked concentration of wealth and the decline of the middle class. Our working class has few champions among them.

Today’s Democratic Party is the Republican Party of 20 years ago. Our TWO PARTY system is nothing but a game of GOOD COP / BAD COP.
