They are so eager to appease fascism that they will do what fascists want with no reward.

Is it me or is everyone else suddenly coughing a lot?
Some days I feel like I don't have words left
Not sure how anyone can say otherwise www.france24.com/en/video/202...
Yeah it was so great he "led" in 2020 to assure Biden got the nomination.
And yet your centrist friends took away a winning nomination in Minneapolis and refuse to back Mandani in New York. I don't even know what Drey stands for.
Uh... Do you know what MN stands for?
When someone calls you a "moral relativist" they are lying. They want to call you "immoral" but know that is meaningless since you likely have a different system of morality. So instead they try to pretend you have no concrete idea morality. In truth you cannot call anyone a "moral relativist."
I am sickened by the relentless demonisation of refugees. No refugee underfunded a school. No refugee closed a hospital. No refugee took away support from the sick and disabled. We need solutions not scapegoats. Stop blaming refugees and tax the rich instead!
Exactly! Frey is bad for criminal justice reform, labor unions, the poor, workers, and people without homes.
Take him back off your radar. He just cheated his competitor out of a legitimate nomination that Frey lost. And he is taking money from rich landlords, police PACs, and corporate interests. He's a centrist that continues to veto the progressive Minneapolis City council.
"If it's 'a mental health issue' can we have Medicare for All and free mental healthcare?" America: "no way, screw you and your problems. Go expire all broke and sad!"
Now that the Democrats have embraced "prosperity" and more deregulation all the have to do is abandon trans rights and diversity and they will complete their metamorphosis into what the donors always wanted them to be. 90's Republicans.
The centrists in the party clearly already want to run Newsom and Buttigieg. They are already demanding the left fall in line 3 years before the primary. Radioactive levels of bad faith.
Yup
Total agreement. This feels like some David Brock fake stuff.
No one should be feeling Newsom. He's a centrist.
Brock's... Personally I'd prefer bricks.
Gavin Newsom seems to have adopted David Bricks troll army. Because they are all screaming at people online that the must settle for Newsom immediately. The primary is years away We can do better than this
It's amazing how every shitheel centrist tries to lie to all progressives that Biden was "the most progressive president in our lives"
It's sick that I cannot even pretend to be surprised by Israeli war crimes. I'm actually more surprised there are hospitals left.
In a world where Ice T plays a cop on TV I guess I shouldn't expect much better than this. Then again Ice T is just acting. Snoop is being hateful.
If you want the real reason for politicians wanting mandated military service it's simply to smother any antiwar protests in the cradle.
Is this more or less embarrassing than Ice-T playing a cop on Law and Order?
The wealthy have controlled law and legislation for decades now. If you look around and see a crueler, more unequal, more hateful, and more militarized society it is because of the wealthy.
I think there is nothing wrong with finding simpler words or better dpin that doesn't sound so academic.
The Democrats lose young voters by chasing donor dollars. Then they say "we need more money to reach out to the young people we drove away" So they chase more donor dollars. It's a stupid cycle.
Minnesota's Democratic Farmer-Labor Party has stripped democratic socialist Omar Fateh of the endorsement for Minneapolis mayor he won at last month's convention. Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar said, "This decision will be a stain on our party for years to come." www.commondreams.org/news/fateh-e...
Minnesota DFL has revoked it's endorsement of Omar Fateh for Mpls mayor. Read our statement on this undemocratic, unprecedented decision. Help us build a better city by donating to TCDSA endorsed candidates: tcdsa.org/2025donate and join TCDSA today: dsausa.org/join
Ok, now I want a cracker barrel
Any more convenient religious conversion opportunities? Any deities working the Denny's parking lot in Fridley?
Most of the pro Frey landlords own Minneapolis properties but don't live in Minneapolis.
All of Mnpls is seems to be rich landlords that own property in the Minneapolis but don't live in there.
But hey, at least Goodman got to cash all those checks from crooked landlords.
Yup, Newsom is mostly a souless centrist. Bet money he uses CA redistricting to screw over progressives too somehow
"All of Mnpls" is a PAC mostly made up of cops, crooked landlord money, and rich people that don't even live in Minneapolis.
Now more than ever, fuck Jacob Frey!
Lisa Goodman is a monster. She worked to reverse a valid nomination for bribes.
The establishment would rather the party lose to fascists than let the left have any power at all
It is inexcusable to overturn the DFL endorsement from Omar Fateh. A small group, a majority living outside Minneapolis, met privately to overturn the will of Minneapolis delegates who volunteered, organized, and participated in a months-long DFL process. Unacceptable www.axios.com/local/twin-c...
Almost no policies from Newsom. He hangs out with Charlie Kirk and Steve Bannon and he throws trans people and the homeless under the bus. He ain't fighting shit.
Newsom also sabotaged the attempt to get single payer healthcare passed in California and worked hard to make sure a centrist took feinsteins seat. He's trash
Yeah. No idea why the guy that interviewed Charle Kirk and Bannon on his podcast is somehow being given this much positive press. Feels like a scam.
The wealthy always need racism. Without racism they can't distract people from all the evil classist shit they do every day.
Meanwhile in the US there were SS people that made it here and worked for the CIA or got to practice law or went to work for NASA.
The Soviets didn't tend to "take nazis in". They took very few Nazi prisoners. Those they did take weren't given sweet research gigs like the US. They were sent to very rough work camps where they produced or perished.
What? A country doing blackmail around doing a horrible thing has spies running around doing that horrible thing?! I'm so shocked.
Has anyone considered that the extreme concentration of health might be doing us a favor. It gives us fewer people that we need to wring the resources out of. And fewer guillotines we need to build.
I have never understood DMs that want to put players up against a monster that has tons of hit points, can one shot half the party, and they want players to pretend they don't know it's resistant to half a dozen things.
Loved this episode!
The only way Jeffries and the pro Israel, pro genocide centrists can maybe survive history not looking like the monsters they are is if MAGA continues somehow. Because otherwise they cannot hide behind Trump. They can pretend to stand up while doing nothing.
Jeffries is a terrible leader and is trying to prop up politics that opposes what 90% of the Democratic party and 70% of the American people are for. And what Jeffries is doing is supporting a genocide.
CNBC is garbage and Jeffries is a centrist scarecrow stuffed with AIPAC money.
There are to one of overwhelmingly popular progressive policies that would turn out those numbers but the Democratic party is still trying to run on a centrist 1994 mentality. And then shriek at people for not showing up. It's pretty stupid.
If you want that then the Democrats have to stand up to Israel and against genocide. You know, that thing that more than 90% of Democrats 40% of Republicans and 70% of the population at large agrees on. You can't just get people to show up and then abandon principles immediately.
You can tell how un-serious @petebuttigieg.bsky.social is by searching his profile for the words "Israel" "Gaza" and "Palestinians" He's supposed to be so smart but all his policies are centrist and he's all but ignoring a genocide.
Too bad you didn't back Bernie in 2020. Medicare For All would have removed leeching insurance companies that drained funding that could have gone to actual healthcare.
The reason Democrats like @booker.senate.gov and @petebuttigieg.bsky.social think they can get away with squishy answers on Israel carrying out a genocide is because the always online centrists didn't discover Gaza until after trump got elected. And they'll lose interest after 2028
Only after they tie Rock Lee exercise weights to their ankles media.tenor.com/KHFiSxhUNpgA...
The Atlantic: "when people what good things like healthcare we try to convince you to savage the homeless and do another 94 crime bill"
It's an Atlantic "you know... Fascism has a point" article Must be a day that ends with a "y"
Of course you sponsor a David Frum show... The Atlantic "what if we can make it a bit more right wing"
If you spend your time defending party centrists because you want to imagine you are the smartest person in the room you are wrong. Just wrong. You are instead a second order collaborator who cooperates with those that collaborates with fascists.
Democratic centrist politicians in congress have no interest in creating circumstances that would assure a permanent Democratic majority. They rely on Republicans to have an excuse not to do anything and to increase the relative power and value of their vote.
Late stage capitalism will be nothing but the wealthy consuming every public asset and program to enrich themselves. The wealthy will eat everything just for profit. Unless we eat them first.
Nixon's failed Huston Plan, the 94 crime bill, the US Patriot Act, and the formation of the Office of Homeland Security were all bricks on the road to this. Trump Says 'Other Cities Are Hopefully Watching' as He Deploys National Guard, Takes Over DC Police www.commondreams.org/news/trump-n...
All of this is criminal. No one responsible will ever go to jail or be sufficiently punished in any way. Sure looks like the government colluded with the railroads to hide the truth about the derailment!
Wasn't mayo-pete in charge of the Dept of transportation?
It's such a tightrope as it makes it harder to do that folk sing along thing. But it keeps the song relevant and real.
I love Billy Brag! I love that he keeps changing the lyrics to "Waiting for the Great Leap Forward"

"The people have spoken and they refuse to be complicit," said one @palenergyembargo.bsky.social campaigner. "Across continents, ordinary citizens demand an end to the fuel that powers settler colonialism, apartheid, and genocide."
Any business that tries to push or force a nation into a war for its profit should be nationalized and it's corporate leadership executed.
The fact that the media doesn't want you to think about it this way means corporations and the wealthy are scared.
Bad boomer habits when dealing with customer services. A person offers to do something for them and asks them if they'd like something. The Boomer then reiterates the offer as though it was their demand in the first place in a demanding tone.
So it turns out the Blackstone CEO was targeted for being a Blackstone CEO.
is the Buffalo ok?
There shouldn't be billionaires or millionaires.
Next he'll be doing events with police dogs. Can't wait for Frey to go away.
I was reviewing my memories when I hit a stumble and wondered how Lou Grant could be a spin-off of The Mary Tyler Moore show. The shows have focus and tone entirely and are even different genre. I rewatched a bit of both. Unfortunately I now have the theme to Lou Grant stuck in my head.
Centrist Democrats are as desperate as Trump and Republicans are for this to get done so they all can go back to servicing the wealthy.
Their desperation is palpable

Can there be a real shark tank if their explanation isn't convincing?

Almost every corporation that wants to use it is always seeking to save money by cutting already underpaid artists and writers
Well the Clintons are gross, unpopular, and a little bit criminal. Trump hopes they can distract from his Epstein problems despite him being grotesque, fascistic,and wildly criminal.
Grunter?
Wow! I had been trying to figure out Osborns hair for decades!
Cooper is lying
The US zionists are saying that Israel is forced to exterminate all the people of Palestine. The US zionists are saying that they are the real victims, still and always. The US zionists are saying that the US government is now run by a dictator and they are helpless to stop him. Follow the money.
The idea that "wealthy people deserve wealth because they took great risks" is both factually wrong and becomes stupid advice. Do you really want everyone to take terrible risks all the time? Because that sounds like something you tell children NOT to do.
I feel like pointing out how a big social problem is the fault of capitalism is kind of a cheat code. Of course that doesn't diminish the fact that it's true.
Neoliberalism at it's most horrendous.
Our silicon valley overlords that demanded unfettered license to sell our data has rendered us unsafe and intensely vulnerable to scams and theft. Yay! Profit motive!
Texas Republicans: "Ok, but what if we re re re gerrymander it again? Then can we win?"
Getting rid of billionaires makes the world safer. The billionaires prefer the threat of war to distract us from inequality and their crimes on Epstein isle.
Oh great, more stupid threats of nuclear war as Trump tries to run around doing everything to distract from Epstein.
"This is what you want... This is what you get."
