Schulz: Conservative Twitter was funny when Dems are in charge. Now that Republicans are in charge, it's just whiny. It feels like too much propaganda. They went full soy boy
democrats are ofc once again failing to distinguish how they have a different approach than trump. they come across like they agree with the goals, just not the methods of trump that have now demonstrably failed.
-dems should always tie this back to the illegality, and immorality of engaging in this unjust and costly war against iran to begin with.
-reinforce demands to restrain israel, which brought us into this war.
-and talk about the only time we achieved success with iran's enrichment program, obama's JCPOA - through diplomacy. (which schumer opposed at the time)
Jennifer Welch: “It is so important that Democrats be the anti-war party. Democrats need to go on podcasts, streams, news channels and say Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal, the country of Israel alongside with the US, mainly funded by the US, commits war crimes and we oppose this because we are the peace party”
“Water, soil, and oxygen should not be infinitely accessible. They are assets that should be included in global economic balance sheets.”
This is not satire. The World Economic Forum wants to monetise breathing.
Mary Trump on Democrats who want to return to normal after Trump: “If you think the solution to these horrors is to go back to where we were and resurrect the situations that made these horrors possible, you’re not a serious person. If you aren’t willing to reform the Supreme Court in significant ways. If you are not willing to undo every single thing Donald’s done and do away completely with traditions and norms and start codifying everything. If you’re not willing to get rid of the filibuster. If you’re not willing to draw a bright line in terms of Netanyahu’s government and in terms of Russia. If you’re not willing to abolish ICE and I would argue DHS also needs to be abolished”
i do not care if Trump's comments result in nothing tonight. no one who even thinks of saying the phrase "a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again" should be allowed to operate an ice cream stand, nevermind the most powerful office on the planet
AXIOS: Democrats weighing runs for the White House want to forget many of the positions they took in 2020 — and they're hoping voters will too.
Party leaders have shifted on border security, DEI, crime, climate change, COVID lockdowns, and more, ahead of the midterms and 2028 election.
Many Democrats believe they lost to Donald Trump in 2024 because voters didn't like some of their left-leaning policies, not just how they were communicated.

personally I am team #bigtent, but if we're gonna start kicking people out of the party on brand/moral grounds I would like to nominate 1) the foreign policy team behind the Gaza genocide, and 2) every Dem former elected/staffer who takes a cushy job with an overtly evil company
Tim Miller from the Bulwark on Third Way's efforts to oust anti-war critics of Israel from the Democratic coalition:
"The entire country is moving in the opposite direction—we can just be honest, in Hasan's direction! And you wanna pick a fight with him on that??"
