    if Democrats ever win I fully exepct this:

    “Now is a time of healing. To better unify our Great Nation™®© we are going to let Republicans fill every committee and pick every judge, we are even looking into how we might let them have the presidency. If we can’t, do not worry, we will behave as if we were Republicans and will do as they wish.”

      Yep, that’s what Obama did with the Bush people and the people that caused the GFC. And now all these people are back for round 2 with nothing learned (well, they learned there are no consequences no matter what they do).

      I think Bernie’s Fight the Oligarchy Tour is changing this, but more people needs to push this.

        So is David Hogg, the new Vice Chair of the DNC. He’s a Gen-Z school shooting survivor who’s committed to primary out the centrists and turn them into a real opposition party.

              I’m talking about Congress. Next November is our next chance at stopping Trump.

              Can a party still promoting “let me talk about my Glock so some Republicans might vote for me” Harris have any chance of purging the centrists?

              I know I’m being super pessimistic and I hope you are right and would love to be wrong. The trajectory of Kamala’s 2024 campaign pretty much destroyed any notion I had that Dems as a party will ever take any other course but just left of R enough to show daylight between the two. Every time R moves right D just follows.

                They’re doing more than making noise on the floor. Democrats voted and spoke out against Trump’s cabinet nominations, forced a 15-day vote against Trump’s executive order, confirmed Biden’s pending judicial appointments when Republican attendance is low, and are the ones bringing these cases to the courts.

                With that being said, there are still many appeasement centrists that wouldn’t speak out if you lit them on fire. They’re the ones that need to get replaced with youthful progressives who will drive change, but ultimately that will be up to us at the polls.

        Once Newsom is in CECOT he will have plenty of time to think about what he could have done.

      That’s bullshit, whenever the DNC is trifecta majority it’s straight progressive agenda. We need not only democrats but we need senate supermajority again.

      Yea, the “democrats” will want to “reach across the table” and work with these fucking traitors. Why? Because most of them are likely in on it.

        They take the same money from the same corporations. They don’t care if they win or lose an election.
