True words, Thomas. Both Chuckie and Hakim Jeffries are in way over their heads. We need fighters, not these clowns. Problem is that the Clinton corporatists that have controlled the party for 30+ years hate the attack dogs ... Bernie, AOC, Jasmine Crocker, and really hate the idea of reform. The donors and consultants that broke the Party want to stay on this steady course until we crash onto the rocks.

Chris Murphy is a New Dem who sticks his finger in the wind and is a loud voice of opposition to Trump ... today. Then he may very well switch back to being a New Dem.

I am so done with the DNC/DCCC/DSCC/TheDemocrats™ in general.

How lame are the Democrats?

They make the Washington Generals look like a juggernaut. Between the “Choose Your Fighter video and the little paddles at the Trump speech the Democrats have cornered the market on cringe. The only thing I can imagine that would be more cringeworthy would be finding Grandma’s porno video on the internet. At this point I’m not sure the Dems couldn’t find a way to top that.

The Democrats’ virtue signaling photo ops are almost too numerous to list here. Did the Democrats fight harder for a higher minimum wage or preserving the state and local taxes federal deductions for their wealthy donors who reside in higher tax blue states? Did they fulfill their campaign promises on student debt forgiveness?

Regardless the near future is going to be extremely interesting.

If all you've got is petty heckling, you ain't got much at all.

Hard to feel anything for a Democratic party that enables genocide and supports war. Bernie's the only one out there (Jeffries is stumping but only for his book, not public policies) and he's an independent, not a Democrat.

"When they go low, we go high."

Is that now the operating order for Congressional Democrats? Righteous indignation is only for the deluded? Decorum will sway the jackbooted thugs to reason?

Many unfortunate cities have been shackled with managers to override representative governance; no longer just those, our country, the United States of America is getting battered by manager Musk. The carnage he institutes will result in our assets, personal and public, being purloined for pennies (or is that a nickel now) on the dollar.
