If Nate Silver (hardly a leftist) tells you that you are too far to the right to be recognisably a Democrat hanging out with Liz Cheney, then maybe you have a far right problem.

Democrats are dead in the water if their best attempts at resistance of the regime are retweets of something McKinsey and the US Military have floated through ventriloquy of Buttigieg.

They're not Nazis they said. Not everything is a Nazi, nothing is a Nazi, not even the things that scream Nazi are Nazi.

"We owe him an open mind and the chance to lead" they said.

Fuck centrists. They allowed Nazis to concentrate power and take command of the most powerful arsenal on Earth.

They took pride in shaming anyone on the left who alerted to the Nazi threat.

Fuck you 1000 times. Fuck The New York Times. Fuck the Atlantic. Fuck the DNC.

Fuck you pieces of shit.

Dear Rachel,

Blink twice to the left if you received this memo. Wink to the right if Comcast (the owner of NBCUniversal and MSNBC) is making life difficult for you and they're threatening to drown your puppy in the bathtub. We understand, it's not beneath them.

Thank you for all you continue to do.

#dems #Democrats #VoteBlue

Rachel,

You covered No Kings. You even seemed relieved that America still had a pulse. Which makes your silence about Remove the Regime, the three-day constitutional protest landing in D.C. on November 20–22, just a teensy bit… Rachel, are you okay? Blink twice if the booking producer hid this story under your desk.

Anyway, since you’re busy being the nation’s bedtime storyteller for constitutional crises, we took the liberty of preparing a full segment you could read on air. It’s written in your voice. Your cadence. Your sly pauses. Your signature “I’m not mad, I’m disappointed in this country” gravitas.

Thank you for all you continue to do.

So, Dems have the votes to force a disclosure of the Epstein files (even if it's ultimately redacted to some degree).

In order to remain consistent with their recent performances, are they now only deliberating how to fuck up in the worst possible way you can't possibly imagine?

Even if Josh Marshall and other corporate centrist extremists will try convince you that a defeat on the mat appeasing Nazis is a victory, the calls for resignation of Chuck Schumer seem to have gained traction, a few thousand disappeared, a couple of genocides, and a healthcare rights defeat later.

Fuck Schumer, fuck Marshall, and fuck those who defend the indefensible.

Will you ever understand that this is exactly the function of the Democratic Party now?

The longer you cling onto them, the further away it slips the day when Nazis are ousted and people –all of the people– are allowed to breathe.

Dems are effectively Vichy now.

It seems that saying:

"I will be a mayor who doesn’t bow down to corporate interests, doesn’t take his orders from billionaires, and sure as hell doesn’t let ICE steal our neighbors from their homes”

... was possible after all those decades of Democrats triangulating neoliberalism and optimising for poverty.

https://newrepublic.com/article/201158/trump-zohran-attack-backfired-economy

#Dems #Democrats #Zohran #Mamdani #VoteBlue

If anything, Mamdani has run perhaps the most explicitly pro-immigrant and even pro-cosmopolitan campaign in recent memory. Mamdani’s innovation is not simply creative cost-of-living, take-on-the-elites politics. It’s also that he’s demonstrating how to do this without retreating from the defense of immigrants and of pluralism writ large, and without shirking the mission of centralizing Trump’s authoritarian lawlessness as an overarching fact of contemporary American public life.

Obviously Mamdani is running in a blue city that’s full of immigrants, so his precise immigration message might not work as well in swing areas. But the point is, if we’re going to talk about Mamdani’s political innovations, we should also discuss this one: He doesn’t allow that there’s a conflict between emphasizing economic populism and taking on Trump’s authoritarianism.

Indeed, Mamdani sometimes explicitly connects these things. “I will be a mayor who doesn’t bow down to corporate interests, doesn’t take his orders from billionaires, and sure as hell doesn’t let ICE steal our neighbors from their homes,” Mamdani said recently, emphasizing that last clause in a huge applause line. “There are no kings in America, whether that’s Donald Trump, Andrew Cuomo, or the Republican billionaires who fund both of their campaigns.”

Trump’s Rage at Zohran Just Backfired in a Surprisingly Revealing Way

The Democrats who are breaking through are the ones who talk about Trump’s disastrous economic record while also leveling with the public about our slide into authoritarianism.

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.
