A special thank-you to Ali Velshi for his passionate rant this morning: “Where’s the party?” Dem leadership has to stop writing letters and making statements and get off their asses to actually fight for our country. If not, they should be replaced

They're busy spending all that blood stained aipac money.

What would you like them to do? Helpful to have more than a generic "get off your ass!". Remembering they have no power (numbers) in Congress.

Oh bullshit. Sorry, but really that's so disrespectful and ignorant. A better question is, Why the fuck didn't Ali bother paying attention before slandering people WHO ARE DOING THE WORK with smears? Or why does he believe in magic (since apparently he believes that magical means aren't being used.)

I can provide more examples of Democrats fighting back but I have to talk our dogs for a walk. Meanwhile so-called journalists need to do their fucking jobs or STFU.

I don’t think you’re wrong and clearly you’re deeply invested as I am but I would say the average American isn’t. I think that most people who are just living their lives are simply unaware of the examples you provided and are not seeing a concerted effort from the Dems.

I was addressing the original post which pick out his comments to use as an attack on Dems. BTW as a journalist his responsibility is to inform so instead of spreading the lie that Democrats aren't doing enough he could have shared the info I shared and them people wouldn't be unaware. Also Dem

I believe his point was to do all the things, to be United, to be vocal and to be unafraid. For example, he noted the lack of endorsements from dem leadership for Mamdani? Why??? Because he describes himself as a socialist? The people are speaking, he has momentum…
aug 31, 2025, 12:43 pm • 1 0 • view
He underscored this by noting Liz Cheney’s embrace of Dems and presenting a United front with us. He encouraged leaders to stop describing AOC, Bernie, etc as too left. Let all the voices who are seeking a return to democracy be heard. Stop trying to play by old rules. Be inclusive or be excluded

It's Rethugs who say AOC and Mamdani are too far left. Hochul has said that she will support whoever the voters choose and will work with Mamdani. It's AIPAC that is affecting a few Dems, not socialism. And just a few too. No one representing voters from other states has endorsed because it isn't

He encouraged Dems to be more inclusive. To stop distancing themselves from the “far left” like AOC and Bernie and even Mamdani in NYC. Dem leadership needs to present a united front and welcome any one and everyone who is on the side of a return to democratic (little d) values.

From claiming FEMA wasn’t giving money to hurricane victims to meeting with Netanyahu when he was just citizen trump— He MADE himself part of the story well before the debates, before the attack ads, even before he announced JD— he just inserted himself. Dems need to bring that same energy now!

I didn't like the way he ran last time when he lost. He was too busy running away from Dems trying to play coy. This is not going to work and honestly it stopped working a long time ago.

Zohran Mamdani spoke at a rally in Harlem on Saturday as he sought to build on momentum from New York City’s Democratic primary, telling the crowd that people struggling to pay for housing, groceries and bus fare are hungry for change.

Yup. They probably are ready for a change. The Dems have been in charge for 12 of the last 17 years. I agree. Get the Dems flushed out and start fresh.
