    There the old saw about not interrupting your enemy when he’s making mistakes. But if the tables where turned the Repugs would be screaming holy hell non stop.

    This is absolutely on to something. Trump should not stand a chance against a viable opposing party.

      So long as any parties funding is coming from corporations, and citizens united stands… Not much will be done in terms of bettering society for the working class.

      An easy way to look at it is the working class if above the line, the people who own the parties rely on what’s below the line.

      Those people have proven over and over they believe in making massive cuts to make the numbers below the line go up, even if they were making profit and churning out a good product. Making a worse product, and hurting those who work for you company doesn’t matter, so long as number go up.

    Democrats respond to political money but they feel an obligation to support the workers who allowed them to be in their positions, whereas Republicans feel absolutely no obligation to their none rich constituents, instead they feed the their minions BS. Both parties are basically on the same page otherwise.
    That is why the Democratic party would like to get rid of AOC, Bernie Sanders and Mamdani. The solution is to replace enough Democrats until the party actually represents the people. There is no hope tor the GOP.

    because both parties are capitalist, they’ll never really “do” what’s right for the working class.

      I haven’t really seen anyone try to run against him. They’ve put people on the same ballots as him, but none of them have run a serious campaign that attempted to connect with voters.

    I begged my congressman to support articles of impeachment. His response was basically that they don’t have the votes, so why bother? He even said that if they did, it would be performative and would play into persecution rhetoric for Trump.

    So that’s where we are now. The only people with the political power to oust a tyrant have thrown in the towel.

    I tried to reason with him that it matters. Even if they don’t have the votes to convict. Impeach him once a week of you have to. Persecute the motherfucker!

    But no, I guess re-election to Congress is more important.

    Fucking joke.

      100% agree. Performative it may be, but doing it every single time he does something to warrant it, which is daily at this point, at least sends a message that this shit is unacceptable. Doing nothing is tacitly agreeing with it. It’s baffling.

      And look at the vote for releasing the Epstein files! Obviously, they ‘didn’t have the votes’ for that, either … but once they tried, even a bunch of Republicans were on board.

      At least fucking try.

      would play into persecution rhetoric for Trump.

      The whole fucking point of him doing the persecution rhetoric is to stop people attacking him, and they’ve played right into his hands.

    They not just sitting there.

    Lawrence,Massachusetts Democratic Mayor Brian DePenna was just arrested for stealing over $1.2 million of Covid relief funds.

    Democrats have been hard at work enriching themselves.

      The mayor of a town was arrested? Who fucking cares?

      Do you have any fucking idea how large this country is and how many people call themselves “Democrat”.

      Shit like this doesn’t work when people actually live in the place you’re talking about.

      Try harder.

      and think they can get away with it.

      At least until the guillotines come out, they can and are getting away with it.
