The party system is not a design, it is the inevitable outcome of our system. Things pass with support. How do you get support? You do favors for others in exchange for their support. Eventually the same guys keep supporting each other so they just band together for every vote and voila the party system was born. 3 parties can’t exist because it fractures the support too much to win.

There was always a plan to stop it. I don’t know who it was but they delayed calling in the national guard. Whether it was the governor or Trump idk but the response was delayed because they didn’t want the people to get hurt which is absolutely disgusting

Edit: ok so they dropped the ball on multiple fronts but from my understanding it was ultimately Trump who withheld the guard. DC Guard responds to the president, not the governor. Also the requests by Congress for immediate aid were not communicated to the national guard, meaning Trump had his lackeys delay the response.

What’s crazy is you saw the last 2 years and are arguing about the process. You learned nothing under this dictatorship. The rules don’t mean anything. They do whatever they want. Only when democrats want to do something it’s theater or about following processes. Our politicians, both left and right, have WAY more power than they let on. The red tape is is self imposed. When enough people get angry we can make massive change and if you ask me the American people need to see things being done. All beauocracy is theatre and maybe if the left actually put some theater for us more people would get mad and actually do something.

It is sad that you see giving up as a valid option. When the cards you want aren’t on the table you flip the fucking table. It sounds ridiculous but people’s lives are at stake. Do you even care about all the people that will die because they will be priced out of their life saving medications? I guess fighting for healthcare is performative too.

So you think people’s lives are just numbers on a screen? Is politics a game for you? Oh well we losing this time so might as well not try. PEOPLE ARE DYING. Israel is killing people every single day. Ice is killing people everyday. There are thousands of immigrants sitting in concentration camps. They are getting raped and tortured EVERY SINGLE DAY. This isn’t a fucking game. It’s not about winning and losing. We have an obligation to uphold justice and protect as many people as we possibly can.

Man this race is going to be insane. Can’t wait for it. I’m looking forward to see who speaks out against moor so we can cancel them

Based on everything coming out it seems Hakeem has massive support in the caucus. So much so that no one even wants to give the idea that they don’t support him.

Schumer on the other hand sounds like his support isn’t as wide spread.

Unfortunately internal votes are not democratic. Jeffries has a lot of power in the caucus. The votes are secret so they can not be subject to backlash or bullying. That also means we can’t hold them accountable for how they vote.

Sure but if almost everyone takes money from them there is virtually zero chance they can whip up enough support to get a leadership role.

Multiple reports have come out and said the offices are getting hundreds and in some cases close to a thousand calls a day telling them to get new leadership. I think we’re gonna get what we want on this

Don’t kid yourself into thinking the fight against Israel ends with them. The majority of politicians take money from AIPAC. We are slowly changing that but it will take time.

The fight isn’t over. The next 2 years will only be about stopping trumps agenda. Without a supermajority Trump will veto every single bill. Our focus should be about restructuring the party so people like Jeffries and other Israel sympathizers take a seat and wait patiently for us to get rid of them.

70% of the country doesn’t like Trump so the majority of his viewers will want to hear anti Trump content.

He cashed out a while ago. Tuckers allegiance has always been to the dollar. It is always profitable to be the opposition so that’s what he does. He has no real morals or values.

She asked him to condemn and apologize for some attack ads that some pac did. He did condemn it but he wouldn’t apologize for something that he had nothing to do with which is 100% the right call.

As much as I don’t like Schumer he is as lukewarm as it gets which can be both good and bad. He does actually care about American interests for the most part.

You might want to delete this. This level of hate doesn’t help anyone.

I wonder what Jeffries thoughts are. Schumer has taken about 500k from aipac while Jeffries has taken over 1.5m. My guess is he won’t say the quiet part out loud but I’ve been surprised before.

The reason is obvious. She is falling on the sword to save Israel. The last 2 years may have done irreparable damage to my view on Israel. I don’t think I will ever vote for a candidate who takes aipac money or supports Israel for the rest of my life.

Realistically pardons are the stupidest presidential power. I understand they are necessary but the way Trump is using them should be unconstitutional.

I don’t think most democrats have an issue with defending trans rights. The issue is instead of dealing with issues that affect the majority, they only deal with issues that affect the minority. Worry about people not getting killed and abducted to concentration camps at the border. Then maybe we can talk about trans rights.
