turning back the clock to remember when Fetterman said it was "disturbing" to even consider that Israel might bomb a hospital in the wake of Nasser getting airstriked for like the fifth time
@soin7103@frozenwhitetuna@DropSiteNews@JulianAndreone I would love to be wrong about this and you be right. What you're saying is exactly what I want her to do! I just don't think that's what's happening here. Her public statements come off as it being a hopeless endeavor doomed to fail, so why even try. Not very inspiring
@frozenwhitetuna@DropSiteNews@JulianAndreone my point is that the vote is in JANUARY and she is running around acting like it's a foregone conclusion with no fight, no organizing, just saying over and over that it has to be this way. How can we expect her to lead as president if she doesn't even lead on this?
this analysis is just wrong. more Republicans by % voted for Biden in 2020 than for Harris in 2024. So this little Liz Cheney stunt did nothing except lose her the election AND the popular vote (very noteworthy as it hasn't happened since 2004)
The difference between Abdul calling for Van Hollen to replace Schumer and AOC & Ro telling freshmen to fall in line behind Jeffries could not be more stark:
Did you know Chuck Schumer's daughter is a tech lobbyist? As Chuck tries to keep control of his leadership, his daughter a registered lobbyist who is fighting against Zohran Mamdani's efforts in NYC.
Many people are wondering...
Who is Jessica Schumer?
Missouri's weird because the voters often vote for progressive policies when it's individually on the ballot, but then turn around and vote for the most racist politician you've ever seen in your life
I love that the Missouri GOP is posting this crash out because the people have figured out a way of direct democracy that has consistently sidestepped their tyrany to keep Missouri remotely livable.
Look at the policies! This is how we have to organize in Missouri. Put shit to a popular vote through petition process, it passes, the state GOP panics to abuse state law to invalidate it.

its not lost on me that there're always plenty of absentees when its time to do the bidding of the masses, but can you imagine a world where hakeem failed to whip votes for a funding bill for israel?!?!
i feel like the more she says shit like this, the more her presidential aspirations slip away. Incredibly unpopular stance to take. She herself said AIPAC doesn't belong in the Dem party, but now she's saying an AIPAC stooge should lead it in the house? be for real
