@inspireprag Voting for the laken riley act, which removed due process from immigrants (even those whose charges are withdrawn) is unforgivable and was a crucial step towards the ICE we have today, in all its impunity. Looking presidential and speaking well doesn’t compensate for that.
@sleepyscroller@PollTracker2024@AOC VP doesn’t have any power to shape policy - it would be seen as a meaningless gesture to the left without actually offering real concessions - just like how Biden picked Kamala to symbolise he no longer loved segregation (and then supported an apartheid state’s genocide)
@AbjectZero@frozenwhitetuna@DropSiteNews@JulianAndreone Think of it this way: any public info is that which both we (the public) and the dems who have closed rank around Jeffries (who are known to intimidate colleagues in the tradition of pelosi by threatening assignments) have access to - she’s astute enough to not target herself
@themeasuredtake How funny to accuse someone else of being an intellectual inferior while misspelling multiple words (hyberbolicy sounds like the name of a spin class) and using “whose” instead of “who’s” when grammatically the latter is correct… beyond parody
@kilotonics Writing “whose” instead of “who’s” (as in the contraction for “who is”) and posturing as some sort of intellectual is… embarrassing to say the least
@noaghwhy@IamTHREEE He was anti-apartheid for South Africa but pro-segregation at home - unsure how Whoopi squares with that but personally I agree with Hassan than the old guard refusing to let go of power to cede to the new wave of progressives has deeply damaged democracy
@SyrianLib Does she not understand that we’re protesting that our governments do not send aid to Palestinians, but rather to their oppressors? Why would protesting against the government be helpful when they’re actively supporting Ukraine?
@AbjectZero@frozenwhitetuna@DropSiteNews@JulianAndreone Why on earth would you assume she isn’t having conversations with people about this? Politics is often played behind the scenes, if there are convos about challenging Jeffries nobody will be saying anything publically until they’re confident they’ll succeed
@Enoughsenough00 Was gonna sign but upon reading the last sentence (which implies your organisation is one of the mentally deficient reactionary youth-hating minority-hating variety) think I’ll pass
@keewa Idk how these old people think it’s a good policy to be so punitive to the young… as they get older and frailer and the youth assume power, they’ll remember this!
@barbarismcrit I’m confident she would - AOC and Ayanna have been allies a long time and a reshuffling of committees based NOT on seniority would finally tilt the scales in favour of the squad, who have been ostracised for 6 years now… will only help her should she run in 2028 too
