This is the Tweet they are talking about.
It's important that we don't discount other's opinion just bc we don't like them. I'm genuinely concerned by Biden's casual racism as evidenced by his close relationships, his ideologies and his policies. It's a privilege to be able to ignore them

A lot of AIPAC and DMFI PAC money has been spent to defeat her. She has been trailing Irwin all night but took the lead late.

JonLP started the topic The Democratic Party Is Extremely Unpopular Right Now in the forum General Discussion 1 week ago
Less than six months out from the midterms, Democrats are facing a brutal election environment thanks in part to inflation, general malaise, and the usual desire by fickle Americans to punish the party they put in power two years prior.
New polling numbers emphasize the challenge the party is facing. An NBC survey released on Monday found the…[Read more] -
JonLP started the topic Iran and the US: When friends fall out in the forum General Discussion 1 week ago
Under the glittering chandeliers and gilt-panelled walls of a Hapsburg palace in Vienna, Iranian and American negotiators are right now locked in conflict talks. At stake is the revival of the historic 2015 nuclear deal, which sought to resolve a key element in more than 40 years of US–Iran enmity and which Donald Trump, then the US president,…[Read more]

I wasn’t aware of toxicology reports of those that he killed but technically if Rittenhouse was killed the defendant could easily use the self defense argument since he had a gun. The trial would have went the same way if the person with a gun ended up shooting Rittenhouse and was charged.
I don’t believe that addiction is a moral failing and is…[Read more]

I remember the topic coming up during debates with centrists. I agree traditional Medicare is not that great.

I remember centrists often claiming that since Medicare isn’t that great why would we want Medicare for all?
I explained and many others pointed out that Bernie’s Medicare for All is different and better than traditional Medicare. I do think Medicaid for All would be an easier sell.

He isn’t sending US troops to Ukraine and aside from the weapons packages Biden has been staying out of it. So has NATO but Finland and Sweden will be joining because of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

He should have called it Medicaid for All because that would be easier to sell to Centrists who say Medicare isn’t that great. Bernie’s plan would have improved traditional Medicare by including things like dental.

Biden is going out of his way to not directly engage Russia and NATO is going out of there way not to engage directly and Putin is taking advantage of this. Ukraine is not a NATO member so NATO for the most part is staying out of it. Other countries that wish to avoid Ukraine’s fate are suddenly interested in joining NATO so they won’t be left on…[Read more]

Suns are down by 40 points with 7 minutes left in the 3rd quarter so it looks like Dallas will face Golden State for the Western Conference finals. GS won 3 titles in 4 seasons but Luka Doncic is a terrific young player.

Jim Clyburn weighs in every time a progressive has a shot at winning. They also spend PAC money heavily to defeat them.
I don’t really have a political home since the corporate neoliberals don’t like progressives either.

Sleepy Joe and the Fish in the forum Political Humor 1 week ago
The border is enforced like always, Republicans use seizures and arrests as proof the border is open or some such nonsense. Drugs always come through but the same is true in prison. Including border security makes me think this is a right wing cartoon.

Three Democratic senators want President Joe Biden to go as big as possible with student-loan relief — and that means urging him to wait on canceling any debt.

She has done more than anyone on M4A in the House.
When it comes to this bill I see Bernie Sanders is co-sponsoring. I notice he doesn’t call those that are like him sellouts or fraud squad but instead he is campaigning for progressive candidates like Summer Lee and calling out DMFI and AIPAC for spending heavily in races against them.
