  • Liberman’s letter claims Netanyahu ‘has been pressuring security chiefs to take steps that might cause a miscalculation vis-a-vis Iran’, according to The Times of Israel. The paper noted that the letter did not provide specific examples or evidence of the alleged offences, and assessed that an investigation was highly unlikely. A request for an investigation is not a charge or a finding of wrongdoing.

    A day before the first election in four years that he hasn’t been able to cancel…

    But his administration isn’t following their orders.

    Bibi just can’t keep his coalition, which is why he’s been canceling elections and trying to cancel this one too.




  • Another day, another opinion piece complaining about what Jamie Harrison did 2021- 2024, and ignoring everything that changed since the DNC didn’t have to take Biden/harris’ pick like 2021…

    Jamie Harrison’s only claim to fame was raising a record amount of money from wealthy donors, but still losing to Lindsey fucking Graham.

    The current DNC clearly isn’t planning on doing that, because it already dumped all that money on state parties over the last 20 months instead of saving it for a blitz right now.

    The issue the author is complaining about, was solved 3 months after the 2024 election…

    It was valid back then, but pretending it still exists weeks before the midterms is crazy. But I guess after a progressive wave it’s going to make even less sense to say this shit.


  • In recent years, Democrats have mostly ceded religious voters, outreach, and messaging to Republicans. That has made it almost impossible for the party to compete in red and rural states, where white evangelical voters make up a substantial share of the electorate. In turn, Democrats have faced increasingly long odds to win those Senate seats, or expand the electoral map in presidential contests.

    That was neoliberals intentionally tying one hand behind our back so they’d have an excuse to not make progress…

    For the last 20 months the focus is on winning every race, no more handouts to conservatives to save money to cram a neoliberal down our throats for president.

    The DNC “victory fund” was drained and given back to state parties it was stolen from, which is why we’re about to see a shit ton of seats flip; we’re actually trying to win a majority again.



  • I just did a rewatch of From and without too many spoilers this really reminds me of it.

    One of the leaders got the group to accept something just because he said so. Later he is going to try it again and gets reality checked first.

    Someone told him people didn’t accept it the first time, they just let it go because they had faith he had a reason even if he wasn’t explaining it

    Between the two events, he had lost the people’s faith, and it wasn’t going to work again.

    trump claiming this now, is more likely to drive support away than reassure his voters who are already doubting him.

    He’s pushing too far because he thinks it’ll keep working, not understanding that even his voters have their limits.




  • Because their path to power always involves exploiting good will and benefit of the doubt.

    They’re all cry bullies, they act tough as long as there’s no resistance, but if they don’t win they’ll say anything they think of to change a result or make an excuse.

    The only reason they have any followers is people think they’re strong. So they can never admit they lost, there’s always has to be some bullshit to blame it on.

    If they admit they’re not the majority. There goes most of their followers, because their followers just want strength and to identify as a winner.







  • Obama is more to blame than Hillary for our current situation…

    In 09 he could have appointed anyone he wanted to the DNC chair, and they would have been able to do whatever they wanted…

    Instead he ignored the DNC for both terms and let Neoliberals maintain control.

    The DNC went bankrupt and didn’t have the money to run the 2016 primary, and was still controlled by Clintons neoliberals.

    So they agreed to let Hillary’s campaign pay for the primary she was running in, and in exchange she got final say on everything the DNC said and did, even if Bernie won that primary she could have told the DNC to pick her instead.

    If Obama had taken the five minutes to pick literally any progressive he knew to head the DNC, we’d have gotten a fair 2016 primary, Bernie would have won, and likely have won 2020 as well, and we’d be two years into his VPs first term.

    But Obama was pissed the DNC favored Hillary in 08, so he didn’t try to save it or change it. He let it wither and it fucked us for decades.
