With the exception of about (5) Democrats, the entire party is totally lost. The ones who aren't: 1. AOC 2. Crockett 3. Murphy 4. Schiff 5. Lieu

You forgot Swalwell
Did he? I didn't see that! I'll look it up, and if he did? Well, fuck him. That was a loser move.
Yes! I certainly did.
Swalwell did throw Zohran under the bus tbf
Is this what you're talking about Stu, or did I not find the right thing?
Uh huh right youtu.be/lRceQxMRX-o?...
“I don’t associate myself with what he said about the Jewish people”…wtf is that supposed to mean? What did Zohran say that impugns or denigrates or criticizes “the Jewish people”? Swalwell is a meathead who thinks Israel = the Jews (which is antisemitic btw).
What Swalwell said there is borderline slanderous, and very funny considering Zohran won a huge share of NYC Jews in the primary. It turns out that NYC Jews 1.) care about political phenomena beyond Israel, and 2.) have a diversity of views on Israel. Jews aren’t a monolith.
I don't understand how Swalwell came to this position. I've listened really close to Mamdani - I've NEVER heard him say anything that "I" would consider antisemitic. And last I checked a whole shitton of people I know are "anti-Zion". If anti-Zionism is antisemitic I bet a lot of us fall under it.,
You’re welcome, Pirate…the slander against Zohran is so frustrating. His views on Israel are basically the same those of as Brad Lander or Bernie, and yet ppl lie and smear the man out of cynicism and opportunism and cowardice (even Democratic leadership btw, who lend credence to the bs).
What happened to “vote blue no matter who”? What happened to human rights? What happened to pluralism and democracy and equal rights for all? Where is our humanity? Smh
I think I can sum that up in one word: GREED
Zohran is an anti-Zionist, and while most American Jews are either committed Zionists or soft Zionists that doesn’t mean that Jews can’t be anti-Zionist and criticize the state of Israel (which Zohran has done). Swalwell has taken a lot of AIPAC money btw.

Jesus, DWS has gotten more from them than Rick Scott has. good god.
Yea it’s insane…look at Jeffries and Schumer 🙃
Thank you for this, Stu.
Still, we’re 0/0 leadership and about 3% “gets what’s happening and aren’t afraid to admit it and won’t defer to some centrist shitbag advisor”. Pretty bad odds.
Agreed. We need a new breed if we are going to get anywhere ever again. Those 6 are a good start. Smart as a whip, and hearts and minds on America and her people. Not for sale, well, not yet (is that cynical of me to say that?)
They’re a good start but they are constantly being fought by the “Party establishment”. So it’s Republicans AND Democrats vs. outspoken Democrats. This is nuts 🤦♀️
The refusal to actually do the job AS THE PEOPLE WHO ELECTED YOU WANT IT DONE, is insanity. The old guard is so entrenched in "our way or the highway" that its insane. I'm 68 - some of those that need to go are younger, but even I know progress isn't made with the "same old same old".
Part of the process is “passing the torch”. We have a generation that refuses to do so and it’s taking the rest of us over the edge. We’re in an era where everyone vying to be king have no understanding that the kingmaker is more powerful. Pearls before swine!
I think you touched on the worst part; they all see what’s happening but are refusing to stand up and swing back. I can’t stand a one of them, but the new GOP are true activists. They’re fighters. They’re nasty. Democrats are still politicians through and through. That’s just not going to cut it
Everyone needs to feel supported. It’s a human thing. One person needs to get their hands dirty then others will follow. Sometimes that’s a loudmouth leading the march or it’s a person in a prison cell with nothing to lose. Other times it’s a dead body, a martyr. Someone has to set the stakes.
