re: #Dems #2024

...long term rightwing policies and practices to destroy our governmental structure and convince citizens that gov’mint is bad;
a lazy tendency by The People to fall into authoritarian thinking because surely Daddy will protect and take care of us;
attitudes based on divisive hate rather than what would be best for all of us – and probably others I have not yet been made aware of

All this shit amounts to is: I'm going to only vote for whoever's the most #progressive in the #DemocraticParty, while they don't create a situation where people can be more as #progressives as the #Democrats structurally limits them and only keep them around as fucking hood ornaments like #BernieSanders, #AOC & the entire #FraudSquad to dope people into the #Dems.

You aren't #FightingOligarchy if you're plan is #VoteBlue all the time motherfucker!

There's good reason not to trust #SocialDemocrats & #FDR fetishists who literally see us as the enemy, rightfully so, as we don't agree with your way which has failed ever since the late 1890's of electing better #Democrats.

Where has it gotten you? It got you your #Progressive #dems end up being careerists who #organize into Top-down fundraising orgs as every Democratic orgs with no membership rights nor duties as the #DemocraticParty isn't held accountable.

"Virginia elections will test the backlash against “muskrat” – and Democrats are ready with a plan"

1) It's hard to imagine #Dems having a plan but
2) What is their plan if/when #MAGAmoron issues an #EO declaring the #VA elex null & void.
Nov is a long ways away and there's plenty of time to rig the elex.

I made the words English, Im sure the artist would understand.

But perhaps Lady Liberty still speaks French.

"Vous entendez ça, Sam ?"

Brilliant, brilliant, needs to be printed and hung on your wall, editorial cartoon that captures beautifully the moment of our history. From Europe.

Lady Liberty rises hearing the footsteps of millions on April 5th, and calls out to Uncle Sam.

FACT FOCUS: Dem leaders' challenge to Trump's election executive order misrepresented online

Social media users, incl elected #GOP officials, are erroneously claiming top #Dems filed a lawsuit to allow noncitizen #voting in US #elections.

It's a brazen lie.

But you already figured that. B/c lying about #Dems & #GOP screw-ups is the GOP brand now.

@Zeiram

A bill.like that already passed the Senate, ending tariffs on Canada, Republican leader in rhe House refused to consider the bill.

If the House brings a similar bill to the floor it would be wonderful, but its less than likely.

Call.House Republicans in states already feeling the economic collapse coming.
