Democrats are committed to losing and are turning towards "we gotta be more racist and transphobic".
Seth Moulton also turning on trans people and outright declaring himself transphobic after prior tweets recognising things like Trans Day of Remembrance.

"Progressive era has to end" from Elise Jordan. When was there ever one?

There is no home for progressives in the Democratic Party. At this point the only hope is to go independent like Sanders or join one of the third parties and abandon Democrats entirely. Democrats will never learn.
Harrison has reportedly chosen not to seek to stay on as DNC chair but his dismissal of Sanders’s statement provoked anger of its own, including from the reporter and columnist Glenn Greenwald. “You and the corporatist and militarist party you lead just got your ass kicked all up and down the US, because Americans see that you only care about enriching yourselves at the corporate lobbying trough,” Greenwald wrote. “If the humiliation you just suffered doesn’t usher in some humility and self-reflection, nothing will.”
-rarely do I read an article and genuinely think "man, that guy got slammed." as the rhetoric typically suggests, but wholly hell did Harrison get slammed.
"We have the perfect candidate lined up for 2028! We've recruited Dr.Frankenstein and in a world first we've resurrected both Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan, stitched them together, and they will be the new face of the Democratic party! Vote for us or you're racist and just want Donald Trump to win!"
I have terrible news, Margaronald's tenure in hell made them unelectable among Christians. We're gonna gave to go with plan B and get George Bush and somehow make him more racist
The date is January 20, 2030. President Rafael Theodore "Ted" Cruz, Canadian Zodiac Killer suspect, enters the Whitehouse for the first time as Commander-in-Chief. He giggles stupidly through his nose as he steps into the Oval Office, patchy beard catching his spittle. His prodigious belly jiggles beneath a too-tight dress shirt and suit jacket as he walks. The seams of his pants strain with effort.
"Oh boy, are we going to do great things in here," Ted says to no one in particular. His arms outstreched, he completes a full spin before plunging his face into Trump's chair and inhaling deeply. The prior administration's aides left it here for him, specifically as he requested. He savors the musky, faintly fecal aroma, his crooked member growing turgid, almost long enough to press against the inside of his trousers - but not quite. Teddy shivers at the sensation.
"EVERYONE OUT!" his voice cracking as he authoritatively commands his aides to leave the room. He can't take the arousal anymore. They stare at him open-mouthed, but they comply. They'll always comply now. Ted smiles smugly, assured of his stately presence and presidential demeanor. Kneeling before the well-worn leather chair, Cruz meticulously unbuttons all but the top button of his shirt and tosses his jacket aside. Arms shaking, he drags the shirttails erotically over Vienna sausage nipples. Giggling, he says to himself, "Wouldn't want to get you messy," before throwing the shirttails over his shoulders. He feels majestic. Like Count Chocula from the cereal boxes mommy would never buy him. But now mommy is so proud of him and he can buy all the Count Choccy he wants. And oh, does he want.
Ted whips out his phone but fumbles it. Wormlike, he inches across the floor to retrieve it. Retaking his position before the chair, he sniffs again. "Please look into the camera, no face detected," his phone reads. He looks, poutingly at the camera. He tries smiling. He tries frowning. But still, the phone will not recognize his very normal human face. A face mommy even called handsome once. He begrudgingly enters his password. He holds up his Whitehouse ID to log into PornHub and navigates to the incest section by muscle memory. "Hot Latina MILF Makes Teen Boy a Man" catches his fancy. "Teddy's been a good boy, mami," he whines in a feigned Cuban accent. His hands are cold and sweaty with excitement. As he pushes play, his fat finger slips and the share menu pops up.
"Oh no Teddy you've done it again, don't post it to Twitter like the last time - and on 9/11 too, you were so naughty," he shivers with an erotic sense of shame. "Oh, X, I'm sorry Elon," he says, looking over his shoulder. "No, it's okay, keep going," says Vice President Musk before crawling into an armoire, beady eyes glinting through the cracked door.
Teddy's finger hovers over the X on the share menu, trembling. He catches a faint whiff from the chair and spontaneously orgasms. The muscles of his hand sieze up. "Oh Teddy look what you've done..."
You put images in my head that makes me want to end it all.
Trump Forever. We will know nothing but Trump.
Jokes aside he did mention years ago that he was due a third term because the Democrats were unfair to him so baby wants a do-over
Marx and Lenin continue to be vindicated by the passage of time.
No, the Democrats will not shift left. Their donors would rather they lose to republicans than win on a more progressive platform, and as such will not shift left.
No, we cannot "elect good democrats" to shift the party to the left. The DNC is an organization that has perfected itself as an anti-radical filter. Those who can fundraise well are elevated to the top, those who speak up against injustice are shunned and whipped.
We must actively organize outside the DNC and pressure the system. I keep an intro to Marxism-Leninism list I can link if anyone wants it, let me know.
Here it is, Cowbee's "Read Theory, Darn It!" beginner reading list. All except one work has an audiobook alternative linked, otherwise there are text links directly to said works. It starts off with foundations, then builds on said foundations, ending with some practical advice on how to conduct yourself as a Leftist in general. I also include intersectional theory regarding trans and enby liberation, gay rights and history, and decolonialism.
Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions!
That's awesome. Thank you. I will need that audio. I have head injury from a bike/car accident a few years ago. I can't read any more than two pages before my memory drops everything i just read about %50 of the time. That's how i "read" Gary Webb's biography not long ago!
Sorry to hear that, that's awful. I'm happy that audiobooks still work for you, though!
The guy who lost to Lindsay Graham is lecturing others on winning strategies lmao
Ah, but he lost in the right way: campaigning nationally instead of the state he was running in, and thereby raising record amounts of campaign funds to pay into the pockets of DNC-associated consulting firms.
Just a reminder people who can't beat Lindsay Graham aren't worth listening to electorally.
Are you sure they are committed to losing and not committed to trying to win by adopting republican tactics?
Sounds like something a loser would say.
You know what could prove him wrong? Maybe electing a president? Or winning the house? Or the Senate?
Oh, I mean surely if what he is saying is such bullshit you guys got at least 2/3 of these right?
