There is no saving the US, if we want to stop repeating history we must tear down the foundations of this country and replace it from the ground up.

genuinely saw a liberal talking about newsom as doing some things wrong (anti-homeless policies) but some things right (trolling trump on the internet) and i really wonder about the worth of that second thing, there. is that doing anything at all

How do people in Africa see the continent's relationship with China? Is it a colonial one, one of forced economic dependence and debt trap diplomacy, as US media and politicians present it? Dr. Fred M'membe joins me this week to discuss. WATCH The China Report: youtu.be/FnhVix7kMCA

liberals will be like "ugh im sick of leftists purity testing every candidate it's so stupid to refuse to vote for someone just because they disagree with you on one thing" and the one thing you disagree on will be whether you should be raped in a men's prison

The typical Dem tactics of waiting until the midterms and courting conservative voters are not going to work. Texas Dems were right to leave the state to block the gerrymandering, but Dems in other states are going to have to utilize extreme tactics as well.
robobun (@robobun7.bsky.social) reply parent
I know that Republicans are engaging in gerrymandering. I am not denying that Republicans are corrupt and engaging in anti-democratic practices to retain their hold on power.

She did work for Trump. That doesn't make her a politician. For the Dems to gain a majority, they'd need to oust a mere 7 senators and 8 reps. If the Republican party is as corrupt and criminal as you claim, this shouldn't be such an outlandish proposal.
robobun (@robobun7.bsky.social) reply parent
That's an attorney who tampered with voting machines. I'm talking about senators and representatives. Do you believe that political corruption among congress members only exists at the federal level?
robobun (@robobun7.bsky.social) reply parent
There are state laws against corruption, too. Even if the DOJ throws all the federal complaints out, there are still state courts willing to pursue cases against Republicans.
robobun (@robobun7.bsky.social) reply parent
Do you think every corrupt politician has managed to cover all their tracks and threaded the needle through various legal loopholes in order to avoid falling afoul of anti-corruption legislation? You've been calling Republicans criminals in this very thread. Why not charge them with those crimes?

feels like one of the reasons many of the dems seemingly aren't bothered all that much 'heyyyyy we're deploying the national guard everywhere' is because they're pretty used to doing the same in their own cities remembering hochul dumping the fucking national guard into the *subways*

Dems won't turn on the right-wing members of their own party. Dems won't go after Republicans in the court over corruption. They don't want to take that route because it would mean they risk losing highly valuable corporate donors. That's why they go after the left instead.

Dems and their consultants and strategists (like third way) want sister souljah moments, but they won so hard on suppressing suppressing movement voices that there isn't a sister souljah to punch at anymore. nor a jesse jackson equivalent, who was the real target. it's just 'y'know, those guys!'

Half the time the Republicans don't need filibusters because they can count on a handful of "moderate" Dems to back their side. The Democratic Party only ever seems to have principles and discipline when it comes to blocking any movement to the left.

one forgotten reason about why newsom blows ass is that time he vetoed a *unanimous* vote in the legislature that would've capped copays for insulin at $35. stated reason was because CA was going to start making its own insulin. that veto was in 2023. CA still ain't making its own insulin.

The Republicans have been able to impede Dems when Dems were in the majority before. The reverse is also possible, should the Dems decide to be more concerned with fighting Republicans instead of fighting their own base.

Why do you think impeaching the President is the only means of impeding the Republican agenda?
robobun (@robobun7.bsky.social) reply parent
I'm not a Republican. My first message was sarcastic. My point is that the Democratic Party is led by corrupt oligarchs just the same as the Republican Party. Dem leadership could be doing a lot more to fight the Republicans but they fundamentally don't see them as a threat.

On top of being a screenshot of a tweet, this post is spreading disinformation and you shouldn’t engage with it except to correct. But since people are, I guess I need to do a thread explaining what imputation is. Everything I’m going to discuss here comes from one of two sources.

This is a heartbreaking and infuriating story; but it is also not unique to Trump. This story could’ve happened at any point in the past decades. His bond was denied under a 1996 law, his healthcare is neglected by a big private prison company, and ICE plods on through the process without care.

The only ‘beat’ he’s cultivated other than anti-trans agitprop is anti-DEI fearmongering. In 2021 he published a sympathetic profile of a *January 6 insurrectionist* who melted down in a diversity training about racism against whites.
