Dems learn nothing. They still haven't figured out that they have to offer something other than "Trump is very bad for you" and that "we are marginally better than Nazis" is too fucking stupid, it didn't work before, it hasn't worked since 2016, and it'll work even worse as they keep on trying THE SAME, again and again.

They just gave up and decided that this is enough evil people will put up with, and they can afford it.

Infinite idiocy.

Even in their ambitions they can’t imagine a better world. He is posting on a uniformly #antiTrump website & still can’t even imagine a scenario where the #right isn’t dictating #policy. Republicans are creating a world without the Department of #Education, & #PBS, #Dems can’t imagine no #ICE!

Senate confirms Trump's federal judge nominee Emil Bove.

Democrats fail, and fail, and fail again to do anything meaningful against Nazism in America. They only have warfare and dirty tricks available to help destroy progressives, minorities, and the left.

Why the oligarchy fears Zohran Mamdani

#Dems #VoteBlue#Democrats#Mamdani#ZohranMamdani

Democratic Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral primary victory in New York City has prompted an elite panic, the likes of which we’ve rarely seen: Billionaires are desperately seeking a general-election candidate to stop him, former Barack Obama aides are publicly melting down, corporate moguls are threatening a capital strike, and CNBC has become a television forum for nervous breakdowns. Meanwhile, Democratic elites who’ve spent a decade punching left are suddenly trying to align themselves with and take credit for Mamdani’s brand (though not necessarily his agenda). On the surface, this freak-out can seem as if it’s about policy. Mamdani’s proposals for free buses, universal free child care, faster small-business licensing, higher taxes on the rich, some publicly owned grocery stores, a higher minimum wage, and rent freezes are indeed shocking to oligarchs conditioned to getting everything they want. When you’re so accustomed to privilege, the most minimally humane policies for others can seem like oppression — and Mamdani’s agenda probably feels that way to New York’s billionaires, CEOs, and neoliberals.
