The only good thing about spending a third of my life in the Catholic school system is that it taught me about values. As Sister Margaret would say: "a value isn't a value unless you exercise it." Going on the podcast of an antisemite and staying silent about his antisemitism isn't proof that you're not an antisemite; it's an abdication of your values.

"It is absolutely critical that the Democrats figure out how in the fuck to win working-class white people if they ever want to have power or control again."

I won’t be shocked when the media paints Vance as the peace candidate and does all the work for him in pitching his foreign policy as different from Trump

I will never forget or forgive how little interest the media had in trump ducking more debates.

This is no different from Putin saying MH17 was shot down by Ukraine or Assad saying rebels gassed themselves.

"It's the job of thr candidate to overcome racism and misogyny." Only a racist fucker would say such stupid shit. Glad you motherfuckers are showing your ass. Like I said, burn this bitch down. You aren't saviors you pretend to be

I see people say this a lot.

That myth assumes protest votes were larger than the voters a policy pivot would lose. Support for Israel remains strong among moderates and older voters. A pivot risked losing way more voters than it would have gained.

Repeating a lie won't make it true.

What I find incredibly frustrating is that people on here seem to think their entire political job begins and ends with voting, even when they constantly complain about how Democrats’ want you to “vote harder.”

No. We want you to take seriously how YOU talk about Dems. Are you helping or hurting?

I guarantee you if most of these people being ageist and wanting young people to replace older, experienced, accomplished Dems were thrown out of their own jobs when they got older for the same reason they would be spitting mad and saying how ludicrous it is to replace experienced people.

Black men vote Democratic more than any ethnicity and gender besides Black women and Jewish women.

They're the most reliable Democratic voting demographic among men, and get little credit for it because there's so much focus on the loud (and annoying) 20% that insist on voting for the GOP and MAGA.

Once again for the cheap seats: racism is a system of oppression and as much as you want them to be white people arent oppressed.
White people calling out other white people isnt racist.

Also--hit dogs and all that.

"paraded"

WHY IS IT ALWAYS A GODDAMNED "PARADE", WITH YOU FOLX

"PARADED", "PARADE", PARADING" -- she made THREE appearances across TWO days of a 100-something-day campaign with Liz Cheney.

I wonder if they ever reflect on the fact that Liz Cheney was actually a better person than them in this case.

The country cares about the makeup of the senate.

If Maine wants to go LePage that’s sad.

Parker is lying, she didn't vote for Harris, she made it quite clear in 2021 that she would never vote for a democrat again in her life

Oh? Now I'm hearing the Democrats aren't sure whether they should invest $ in TX? Is that why White Talarico supporters are crashing out on Black voters, demanding they do GOTV work and storm the polls in Nov? Is that why they're priming each other to blame his loss in Nov on Black voters?

There isn't 1 state that had a different outcome than 2020 because of Black voters.
In both 2020 & 2024, just under 90% voted Democrat & while turnout was lower overall, Black voter turnout increased by 1.5M.
If white people can't think for themselves, it isn't on Black people.

hehehehe but Melania says to brush your teeth and eat your veggies too, is she reeeeeally so different from any other first lady?? I am a public intellectual who poses challenging questions and totally not the walking embodiment of the "zero difference between good things and bad things" dril tweet.

I love how when people like you are called out on your bullshit suddenly you’re all huffy about proper conversation.
