@Reuters The folksy, "huggable Bernie" routine needs to be over. He has been nothing but a curse on the Democratic Party. The sooner he is sidelined, the better.
@WSJ If the Dem establishment can't run the party and keep the Platners and "DSA" carjackers out, what good are they? We need the non-woke Dems to step in, and the woke "sweeties" to step aside.
@MaineDems What role did she have in Platner being the candidate in the first place? The first thing the Maine Democratic Party should do is completely replace its leadership.
@bethanyshondark Platner and "AOC" are fruit from the same tree. Platner as a Senate candidate is a joke. AOC as a contender for the presidency is even more so.
The weak Dem old guard let wokeness fester. The sweetie-pie, anti-merit, race mania stuff has to go.
@ProjectLincoln Nope. I'm not letting "DSA" rattlesnakes in the house, and I'm not letting the woke conquer a major political party.
I'm a classic liberal. I'm not wearing a party T-shirt for a cowardly, feckless Dem establishment and a DSA carjacked by nitwits and grifters.
@avidseries You have to sort by behavior. People who are pests and threats can't be allowed in, regardless of group.
It's also arguable that open American borders are unfair to the people of third world countries being abandoned by a brain drain of their highest quality citizens.
I'm a classic liberal, not a Dem. I'm not playing the game where the Dem trademark is mugged away from establishment cowards, while I'm somehow expected to keep wearing the Dem T-shirt.
Nope. I follow the talent. Merit. Free speech. Standards. Voting GOP this year.
I also think the phrase naturally cues many people’s minds toward “real woman” because biology is what defines the category I’m talking about. That’s the frame I want people thinking in before we’ve even started the discussion.
@ProjectLincoln The Dems let you guys down. Trump defeating us in 2024 should have been a wake-up call to get authentically talented and sane people running things. But it's not possible in a party that now abhors merit. We can't throw off the woke stuff because of the woke stuff.
@TheFP@evanwch Glad you're trying to help. No one could have predicted the progressive descent.
Even Dr. Bernie Frankenstein is afraid of his creation.
I've voted for one Republican in 45 years but will vote straight ticket GOP this time. The DSA has been carjacked, and Dems have no will.
It's hard to be a logical liberal right now. The rational right think you're an idiot, because "liberal." The Mamdani-type koolaid drinkers want to tantrum cancel you as they carjack the Dem Party to its doom.
I'm pro free speech and anti-psychosis. That Ok?
@DangerousThinkg If they did this in upper middle class suburbs just one time, I don't think we'd have to worry about it anymore. Property values. The next day, there would be a clause added to "disturbing the peace" laws.
