How do you think these committee members are picked?

Buddy...

Every current committee is useless because even the few that aren't majority Republican, nothing is going to get done.

Why is it a big news story that Hakeem Jeffries was in private meetings with Jared Kushner?

Because they're pieces of shit...

When the media asks for the general strategy of the Democrat party, who gets interviewed as the face of the partty?

The people the oligarchs who own the media want people to think are running shit, if only to make people less likely to vote in Dem primaries.

Oh...

They could?

On Tuesday, a widely cited psychologist took to YouTube to raise the alarm regarding “more highly concerning behavior” from President Donald Trump.

Next you're gonna say someone should write an article about it, then post to a link aggregator...

Then people should discuss in the comments.

I agree, I just think people should read the article first buddy

Do you believe Chuck Schumer or Hakeem Jeffries have no power over the Dem party?

What do you think their power was?

For the last decade it was the DNC's control over the "victory fund", which the current DNC leader already drained and gave back to state parties.

Before that, if you didn't do what they wanted, they'd bankrupt your whole state party and let Republicans have it

Even if they regain control of the DNC, they won't have that war chest anymore.

This is all incredibly basic and happened over a year ago....

What's your excuse for not knowing any of that?

And I didn't read past that quoted line, because if you don't understand how that works, everything else is going to be wrong. Because you fundamentally don't understand any of the context.

establishment DNC enablers

Saying anything other than "neoliberals" just lets the ones that are the problem hide.

They don't control the DNC anymore, but they want people to think they do and you're helping.

If you don't like them, start pushing for a progressive in 2028, if they win, they name the DNC chair for their entire four year term.

The more progressives abstain from the Dem primary, the more likely it is the most progressive option loses.

You're punching yourself in the face buddy

This is like someone saying they'll never support the NE patriots because they don't like Tom Brady...

It made sense when Brady was leading the team, but he's gone for a while now.

So if you keep talking about the Brady years like it's today, people are gonna assume you're so clueless, you think he's still the NE QB.

But for the love of whatever you give a shit about:

Stop calling the neoliberals "Democrats"

They're a minority of politicians with no control over the party currently. Pretending they're the better, just depresses dem.tuenoit and increases the neoliberal's odds of taking back the party

I mean, the supposed shooter was legitimately further to the right of Kirk...

I'm just pointing out that a lot of inexplicable shit happened immediately after he died.

Is it most likely he was shot by a rifle? Absolutely.

But we don't actually know that's what happened.

He died a year ago this week, shot to death while speaking at Utah Valley University.

There's been zero investigation...

And stuff like immediately repaving the concrete before law enforcement looked at it as a crime scene, is weird enough we shouldn't just assume he was shot.

Like, they could have treated it as a normal investigation and people would be able to trust it. But after the shit they immediately pulled, there's always going to be a shred of doubt that his microphone had a bomb or something else.

Dude was breaking from Trump on Israel, obviously America's and Israel's current governments arent above assassinating a streamer.

This is only surprising if you didn't know Netanyahu has been funding Hamas for decades...

But reporting in the New York Times has revealed that Netanyahu's government was more hands-on about helping Hamas: they helped a Qatari diplomat bring suitcases of cash into Gaza, indirectly boosting the militant organization, according to the report.

The calculus — the Times reported on Sunday, citing Israeli officials, Netanyahu's critics, and the man's own reported statements — was to keep Hamas strong enough to counteract the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank, allowing Netanyahu to avoid a two-state peace solution and keep both sides weak.

He didn't just let them attack, he's the reason Hamas continued to exist in the first place. They don't want to end Hamas, they want to use Hamas as an excuse to genocide Palestinians.

Nah.

The real move is con icting them for the theft and pain and suffering they caused necessary to accumulate that much wealth. Them and all the people that facilitated it, which still isn't that many people.

Seize all their wealth, and due to the scale of people they hurt accumulating that wealth, it's all gonna be life sentences.

If it's over in an instant the lesson is forgotten quickly.

Throw them in gen pop federal prison with no resources to protect them, and let them rot. That's a bigger deterrent, and literally the only time sentencing deters crimes is when the criminal already has enough they don't need to steal.

We need to make it so no millionaire would ever dream of stepping into a grey area, and when they do, we make an example.

the democrats

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_chairs_of_the_Democratic_National_Committee

"The party" is the DNC, and it's controlled by the chair for a four year term. If a Dem becomes president, they choose the chair.

So blame the DNC chair, at the time it was DWS, and yeah. She was a giant piece of shit.

But blaming the current "party" for shit from a prior just tells everyone you don't understand how this works

Not sure why you're asking for the most popular...

But Stranger in a Strange Land eventually gets around to that.

It's about a human raised by Martians, and he learned a Martian telepathic language that can alter reality. But when returned to Earth, he has no idea how humans act, and is basically an infant.

But it's one of those books that changes a lot,bthe begining isn't what you're looking for, but just stick with it.
