All the politicians are paid by the same billionaires.
But the blue ones say they are my friend and the red ones do not.
So who will you vote for the next “election?” Supreme Führer Trump and his league of cartoonish evil, or the spineless cowards who will do nothing to make things better?
dems are as crooked as the rest. nancy does insider trade since decades and chuck schumer is just evil ignoring what israel does. or remember the black fig leaf obama? nobody has ever ordered more deadly airstrikes in countries you are not at war with. i think this entire “american dream” thing was just metaphoric for a modern form of slaves and kings. just think of it: who were those that left europe for the new world? sleezebags, greedy goldsearchers…just ppl who were bad anyways. and thats what their entire fake culture is built on.
I’m torn on this. Everything feels like more and more capitulation. But at the same time, this administration is absolutely fucking up negotiations with the world and with China. Shooting themselves in both feet over and over again.
I think democrats should be filibustering every goddamn vote and slowing down the wave of fascism that we are drowning in. But I also think they should get the hell out of the way when their enemy is making a mistake.
Blocking an ambassador to China right now probably wouldn’t accomplish much other than offer up the dems as a timely scapegoat for all of the consequences of Trump’s disastrous trade relations.
All politics are performative. Blocking Trump’s appointments would be a sign that they’re willing to fight for democracy…but they aren’t., so they don’t.
This is just more evidence that every time Dems blamed not being able to enact their promises on Joe Manchin, there were always going to be just enough Democratic “defectors” that their donors didn’t really have to worry.
Behold, a democrat:
Yes correct. Because fundamentally there is no significant difference between Democrats and Republicans. Money and favor buy votes across the aisle the same as it buys anything else regardless of political affiliation.
Alright at this point we should just clean house everyone in executive, Congress and Judiciary needs to go
Or, hear me out, make sure people like Trump always lose in the future so they can’t initiate any appointments ever again.
Then maybe biden should have hired an AG who was interested in pursuing justice, instead of dragging things out so biden could run as second worst to trump again.
B-but the decorum, the hypothetical high road!
People like Trump shouldn’t be eligible for fucking office. If you have Felonies pending or served you should never be able to run for office period
Yeah, that’s great, but he is. What now?
I get black bagged and die.
Like it’s almost like you ignored the context completely or something.
You mean being convicted of breaking the law shouldn’t be a badge of honor?
Cool, so now everybody gonna stop jerking off Booker for his useless filibuster? Or is he still getting a pass?
We have 2 parties, the dems (center right) and the republicans (fascist)
I’m forming a new party called the “Guillotines for anyone with more money than me party”
We’ll guillotine anyone with more money than me. That’s my whole platform. I don’t have a lot but I’m comfortable. If you also don’t have a lot but you’re comfortable boy do I have the party for you!
Sorry yall. It was Fetterman or Oz and we fucking ended up with both.
Broken link.
Who and for which position?
Not my question at all.
Which position and who? People are up in arms over a potential good choice, but i have no way to know.
Sorry, David Perdue for Ambassador to China
A guy with literally 0 State department experience, and a single term in any elected office.
Like, dude probably has some contacts in China but this appointment makes no sense.
I keep hearing project 2025 was a decades plan and the Dems had nothing planned to counter it. Now I’m guessing they are part of the plan.
Now I’m guessing they are part of the plan.
Dems are bought that’s why.
Traitors to america
Hmmm, it’s like they’re all rich and know that in the end it’ll be fine for them under a fascist regime?
I’m not an American, but I have to give the Trump supporters they are right about one thing: the Democrats do not seem interested in fixing their problems. Trump’s just honest about it 🤷
It’s utterly baffling.
“Yea” votes included New Jersey’s Cory Booker, whose record-breaking speech on the Senate floor against Trump’s policies earlier this month seemed to inspire the rest of his party, as well as Illinois Senator Tammy Duckworth, a military veteran who has criticized the administration for firing military veterans from civil service positions." They talk shit to raise funds from the working class, then vote for MAGA so their corporate backers will pay them too.
The only reason Cory did his speech was to cover for Chuck Schumer declaring his job as a Senator is to serve Israel.
Cory also voiced his undying support for the brutal genocidal police state of Israel during his 25 hour filibuster of nothing. They have learned nothing. The majority of Americans and all of the actual left, oppose the genocide and don’t want their money being given to support Israel but the politicians just double down on it.
I was thinking it
The last three months should have been a stark reminder to everyone that after a certain amount of time in their positions, politicians stop seeing non-politicians as real people and everything just becomes a game.
mods have been deleting my comments that remind people that Biden and the Democrats gleefully committed genocide and lost the election for their refusal to even suggest they’ll stop it.
When will people wake up and realize the Democrats are not on our side, not the lesser evil? They exist to give us an illusion that someone is fighting on our behalf, they exist to pacify us, they exist to allow capitalism to turn us into wage-slaves.
They’ll take a knee with us, they’ll give record breaking speeches, they’ll march with us in the peaceful phases, they’ll be on the front line even. They’ll hold rallies and raise incredible amounts to “flight fascism”, and then they’ll step in line and vote to keep the wheel turning RIGHT.

Why they are so threatened by AOC and Sanders, and the calls for the old guard to GTFO
I fully expect the DNC to launch a bigger underhanded attack against the both of them than the Republicans do.
Why they are so threatened by AOC and Sanders, and the calls for the old guard to GTFO
Both Sanders and AOC both support Israel. The progressive base may like them better than “the old guard” but they’re not exactly in love with these two. It’s a begrudging vote, not a happy one.
Hasn’t Sanders opposed Israeli military policy pretty publicly, including voting to block arms sales? [1] [2]
Didn’t AOC accuse Israel of committing genocide on the house floor? [3]
In what way do they support Israel? It hasn’t been my impression that they support genocide or American culpability in it.
They’ve only very recently begun to change their public opinion on it. Last year this time Bernie was catching heat for refusing to support a permanent ceasefire;
Senator Bernie Sanders’s refusal to call for a permanent cease-fire between Israel and Hamas has put him at odds with many of the same progressives […] ^1
Additionally, this is AOCs stance on Israel: https://ocasio-cortez.house.gov/media/press-releases/ocasio-cortez-statement-first-anniversary-october-7th
As you can see, she strongly condemns Hamas, which is great. She strongly condemns Israel, and Netanyahu, which is great. And I totally agree with the entire statement all the way down until the last paragraph;
None of this was inevitable. And it can still be stopped. Hamas, Israel, and Hezbollah should agree to a lasting ceasefire in Gaza and Lebanon.
Hamas is a terrorist organization which was quite literally created by Israel by their systematic abuse of an entire group of people. There’s nothing about this entire situation that wasn’t inevitable. You can’t abuse a people for decades, encroach on their lives, livelihood, murder them, strongly police them, continually treat them like shit and sub-human and expect them not to retaliate. Much like the US is directly responsible for the situations leading to terrorist attacks against the US, Israel is also directly responsible for Hamas.
Even aside from all of this, her views on Israel again, just like Sanders are relatively new. Just last year she was about to be censured by other party members for being too soft on Israel ^1.
“We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. The opposite of love is not hate, it’s indifference.” – Elie Wiesel
So yeah, it’s great that they’re just now coming around to the plight of Gaza and the Palestinians it’s not like they actually believe it. It’s all politically motivated. They’re beginning to understand that unless they condemn Israel they won’t be elected–which is pretty fucked up IMO.
Sanders didn’t even show up or rally for mohsen mahdawi, who is HIS CONSTITUENT, after they were illegally detained for speaking out against Israel.
Nobody is coming for us.
Nobody in power is going to risk losing their grip on it to advocate for real material progress and dismantle the institutions that give them that power in the first place.
Nobody in congress deserves to lead the people. The workers do.
So a lesser evil?
I mean, support for genocide is wholly evil, I don’t care what your other policies are. lol Evil is evil lil bro. There’s no such thing as a lesser degree of evil.
It would be the same if like, Donald Trump was a perfect candidate, but he’s also a sexual predator. That should immediately disqualify him, otherwise you’re supporting that behavior.
Bernie and AOC most closely align with my political viewpoints, but they’re also supporting genocide… If I support them, then I’m also supporting genocide. Is what it is.
If that pisses you off, then maybe talk to Bernie and/or AOC about their stance on Israel.
Yes. There are several recent instances where he’s “slamming” Israel. And then 3 decades where they’re best friends, including up to the end of 2024…
Speakin’ the truth! You have my upvote
Yah the one governor hugging Trump. I mean come on.
And just to be clear, you think The Grifter Party cares about you? Sorry, Green - the Green party.
Sometimes I get their name and their actions mixed up.
Democrats are not on our side, not the lesser evil?
So what are you going to do? Not vote?
Guillotine Party.
It’s not like the guy they voted for is a rare qualified pick from the Trump camp.
It’s David Purdue, a failed pillow company CEO, as well as ceo for other textile companies. More recently he dabbled in politics as a Republican senator from Georgia, failed gubernatorial candidate, 2020 election denier, climate change denier, and generally an idiotic sycophant.
The textile experience gives him a small amount of plausibility as a choice, but everything else far outweighs that. Just another loser grifter in Trump’s orbit.God damn, how many more failed pillow company execs does he have left?
I was wondering same!
Maybe it’s something to do with hotels…?
