@DecodingFoxNews@rolandsmartin@krystalball@BernieSanders Bernie plays so well to the fox viewer, are you serious? Remember when he convinced a town hall of Trump supporters that we should have medicaire for all? He speaks in simple soundbites like “Billionaires are exploiting you and I want to stop them” that play to all workers.
@rbentley@dailyboglehead No for profit company is going to invest time and money building manufacturing when they could just pass the cost on to the consumer.
It’s wild how the people that will ride so hard for capitalism don’t understand it’s most basic fundamental incentives.
Is this just an American thing? It’s fucking wild that seemingly no political party in the US is willing to engage with even the slightest level of introspection.
@AdamRamsay@justin4all2@mehdirhasan You seem to be confusing the US Greens for a competent grassroots political party and not a scam organization that buys Jill Stein a lake house every four years.
@darkchild417@ryangrim It frankly doesn’t matter what her odds of dying look like, it’s a matter of being able to confirm a new judge before Trump takes office, and clearly Bernie doesn’t think they can do that. If you think you can seat someone, then you absolutely tell her to retire.
@Gambit121@DropSiteNews Bernie sees her croaking during Trump’s turn to be less likely than their ability to confirm a replacement before Trump takes office.
It’s really not that complicated. Bernie’s estimation of these odds might be off or wrong, but it’s pretty clear what he’s weighing.
@AydogTrancer@DropSiteNews Because it’s more likely she isn’t going to make it to see another Dem president, so you might as well try to replace her now.
@HumanistReport Don’t worry, Mike. By the time the donors are back in Chris’ ear before the midterm campaigns start, this string of tweets may as well have come out of Daffy Duck’s ass.
@kenklippenstein It is definitely strange that the Dems seem hellbent on tailoring their platform towards thirty people with podcasts where they routinely tell their listeners that they’re already voting for Dems.
Our problem isn’t that Joe Biden was the worst Democratic President of our lifetimes, it’s that he was the best one. That’s how much trouble we’re in. That’s the best we got.
See, people already think liberals are progressives. Maybe the Dems should just adopt progressive policies if everyone is going to call them progressives anyway.
@TheMikeMorton How odd is this historically? I would assume there’s always some amount of ballots that only vote for the POTUS while leaving the rest or some portion of the rest of the ballot blank, but are these numbers wildly different from previous elections?
@kenklippenstein@morningmika Surely it’s the workers who are out of touch and not the elites who haven’t shopped for their own groceries in over a decade!
@jonfavs Everyone should note that we are at the point where the well-meaning and paid propagandists for the neoliberal elite are realizing it’s over.
The Democratic party will not save us from fascism.
For a psychiatrist to advise people to remain alienated from their family members based on politics rises to the level of medical malpractice.
We are a deeply divided nation. But despite the depth of those divisions, we have no choice but to coexist with those who disagree with us. Democracy cannot long survive the loss of coexistence.
