    Calling that disgusting snake Chuck Schumer the Palestinian senator is pretty hilarious, given where he stands on the genocide.

      40 years of crippled public education and propaganda talk radio

      It isn’t pathetic, it is an engineered strategy that has been ongoing since before any of us were born and it’s working because almost no one bothers to do anything but meme about it

      I have my doubts that we did it twice. 2024 looks fishy. I’m glad it’s finally starting to get talked about

          I think it might get a lot of people who don’t like what’s happening but accept it to cross over into not accepting it.

          I’m not super hopeful that it would matter legislatively or judicially, but I might be the kick in the pants the population needs to go on a general strike, or take other actions.

    Remember when people didn’t get elected because they weren’t “presidential” enough?

          IDK what you mean, Bernie Sanders is the most popular overall politician in the USA and he made it to the final two in multiple presidential primary elections before losing by large margins of votes.

            They literally combined super delegates won by different candidates and then said he lost to that.

            Another example, David Hogg getting removed after his win.

              1. Idk what year you’re talking about but Bernie lost by 3,708,294 votes (Bernie 13,206,428 to Clinton 16,914,722) in 2016 and by 9,400,078 votes (Bernie 9,680,424 to Biden 19,080,502) in 2020.

              2. David Hogg was removed from a committee by vote after another member issued a formal complaint that their February ballot did not follow internal gender parity rules by combining candidates in a way that disadvantaged female candidates. David Hogg left his position gracefully but decided on his own to not run for the position again.

                Bernie won NH, NV, and won the popular vote in Iowa in the 2020 primaries. Biden took SC, then right before Super Tuesday, every other candidate in the field dropped out IN UNISON and endorsed Biden. This was a direct action from top DNC leadership to smother out Sanders, a truly viable populist, progressive candidate that threatened status quo Dem economic policies. You can throw numbers around, but you can’t erase what we saw with our own eyes.

                Then! Then, the Democratic Party said “fuck a primary” in 2024, disguised Biden’s lack of mental acuity, forced a candidate on its voters, and built an entire platform (which lost) on appealing to moderate Republicans.

                Open your eyes; we either need new leadership, or a new party.

                  Nobody has ever successfully primaried an incumbent. People like you get made that 2024 primary was normal.

                  Even if you think Biden somehow stole endorsements, the popular vote difference was double. Biden had double the votes that Bernie had.

                  What we desperately need is to remove every Republican

                The popular vote numbers are convincing on the face until you realize that Sanders conceded before all the primaries were held. This means for a lot of states Biden was the only option.

                It would be a better argument if Sanders was a viable candidate in every race.

                Regardless he did concede and you can litigate the reasons for that if you guys want.

                  Lmao, first that guy claims he won the popular vote, then you claim he didn’t withdraw many months into both primaries. Whats the next claim going to be? That the DNC chairs held each voter at gunpoint?

    I like how they’ve gone full mask off and given up on the anti-semite attacks and are just calling anyone not calling for Gaza to be ethnically cleansed a Palestinian like it’s an insult. Not even hiding the Islamophobia any more.

    It’s also double funny that he’s calling fucking Schumer a Palestinian, it’s like calling Biden a communist, which he also probably said. It just goes to show no matter how much the dems try to moderate to accommodate the conservatives they’ll always be the enemy.

      Plenty of times. The point of making the absurd claim is because the correction to the error contributes nothing but a deflection from the initial claim.

      Trump tweets are pure, unadulterated gish gallup.

    He’s prepping up the fascist transition for the midterms, and it couldn’t be any more obvious. If it isn’t outright theft it’s going to be voter suppression and voter manipulation on an entirely different scale. It’s so ridiculous to think the US is a democracy anymore, at this point the whole country is a confidence game and a scam that’s just mobilizing the capital of the people who they already have scammed against new targets.

        So it should. We’re supposed to be more civil than that. But as others have said, this is mask off. Trump unmasking what has been lying under the surface of the capitalistic elite for decades. Utter contempt for the working class who are basically regarded as slaves, and anyone with any influence or power who challenges them is painted as a traitor, criminal, and honorary slave as well.

    Honestly, if I lived in NY, this post on it’s own would make me vote for him.

    Of course, I’d have to live in the US too, which I don’t, thank some deity.
