  1. JFC that is sad and pathetic.
  2. SIgning Adams is GREAT news. I can't believe we were able to keep him in Houston. Fuck yes.
  3. For some reason this one really resonated with me. The fact that half this country goes along with "paid protester" bullshit infuriates me. Fuck y'all.
  4. Godfuckingdamnit
  5. JFC. Conditions of victims are unknown at the moment.
  6. That lady rules. Just pure joy and pride that people are resisting ICE and the Trump regime. I need her energy.
  7. This seems...not great.
  8. To me a candidate announcing early would be good just to have an "official" opposition to Trump/MAGA. I think the last thing the Democrats need to show right now is patience. Trump is burning everything down at an alarming rate. There has to be a sense of urgency. Maybe there's a better play, I don't what it is.
  9. Tim Walz is like the most normal human being in the world. And he was basically labeled as a freak and a traitor and pedophile.
  10. I beg people to stop believing this talking point. It relies on some sense of "normalcy" within the electorate and government, which doesn't exist anymore.
  11. I totally agree. The revolution has been talked about for decades but never happened. I don't know the details but clearly they aren't organized enough to do it themselves. I'm just saying I think the vast majority of the diaspora are pleased this is happening. From my experience they've been mostly sympathetic or supportive of Trump from the beginning. But to be fair, they would have supported Obama doing this too IMO.
  12. I won't pretend I can speak for the diaspora, but a lot of Iranians outside of Iran are good with Israel's attacks at the moment. Not sure that eliminating military officials will get it done...it's the mullahs that run the country. They are so desperate for regime change that any action is good action. I'm not holding my breath this works out.
  13. For fuck's sake.
  14. I mean, look at how he says "Well they are being moved out because it could be a dangerous place, we'll see what happens." He's clearly acting like he has a "secret" he doesn't want to spoil. He absolutely approved it.
  15. What? He knew this was coming. From last night: ssstwitter.com_1749775444986.mp4
  16. Thanks. I know they won't do it, but the DNC should get together and encourage candidates to announce if they already intend on running. It'd be a clear signal to Americans that the Party understands we are in an emergency situation. I won't pretend it will solve something, but at least it's strategic and possibly slow this full and uncontested assault from Trump and his cronies.
  17. Who gives a shit. It will distract him. And it gives Dems a loud voice that gets attention. Right now it's just dozens of dipshits saying the same thing over and over again that isn't gaining any traction.
  18. I can't find the post to give the poster credit, but in one of these threads someone mentioned that a candidate should announce they are running for President. I actually think this is a very good idea and maybe one of the few good things the Democratic Party can do right now. Fuck the norms. If there are people truly planning on running in 2028, whether it's AOC, Pete, Pritzker, literally anyone...announce it ASAP. We have to show this country that there is a possible change in 2028. That there's some hope for the future. That there's an option for these dumbass Trump voters that are quietly unhappy about what's going on. Create actual opposition to Trump within the Party. They'll get tons of media attention.
  19. Anyone that's been an extremely well known public figure for years will be worthless. Even Obama. His presidency was effectively lifetimes ago. Swisher and Galloway are intelligent people, but fall into the same traps as everyone else. No one from the past will save us. This is completely new territory, we live in a world overloaded with information that becomes meaningless very quickly, nothing will stick. Trump is the last God in American politics for the foreseeable future. We have to do the work. It will take the many, not an individual. I'm not sure how we do it. Maybe worth a new thread.
