Hi jlp,

With each passing day we are reminded why the Democratic Party can never be reformed.  Sooner or later, Progressives will need to accept this fact and move on.  Otherwise, one should accept self-flagellation as one’s fate in life.

@jonlp

I have quite a lot in common (in regards to ideology/philosophy/socioeconomic points of view) with most voters who are democrats.  The primary difference is that a considerable number of them believe holding their noses and voting for the lesser of two evils is going to be effective… as long as there are enough democrat so control both…[Read more]

@jonlp AOC and every other Democrat betrayed us on the Covid stimulus vote. I will never forget that. They could have gotten temporary UBI, maybe even M4A, and they refused to wield what power they had. And everything David said about the time factor is true. I can easily see millions of American dead in the next few years if drastic changes are…[Read more]

@jonlp

So… Pelosi, Schumer, Biden… any of these not old guard?  They are leading the party.  What about Tom Perez, the DNC chair?  How many democrat governors and Senators can claim to be progressive?  Yes – there progressives coming up through local (and some state) elections – and that’s great, but their numbers and influence among the par…[Read more]

@jonlp

Yeah, pisses me off too when I see the mentally ill blamed or scapegoated.  I’m not quite on the same boat as you, my issues are related to childhood trauma and such, but enough that, a year and a half ago, I qualified for SSI.

PTSD, Social anxiety disorder, general anxiety disorder, bipolar 2 and agoraphobia.  None of that, though, is a…[Read more]

@jonlp  That was great. Now I know who AOC learned how to flap her arms from.

@jonlp What do they do, get all their political info off of Real Clear Politics links? I’m willing to admit I don’t know everything about Kentucky politics, and I live in an adjacent state. What the hell do they know about it?

And telling you Kentucky isn’t Vermont. That’s pretty insulting. Of course you know that. One of them even said Truman’s…[Read more]

@jonlp AOC and Ilhan Omar, of all people, endorsed a Fascist named Joe Biden. Sorry, but I will not vote for the Lesser Fascist, if in fact Biden is less of a corporatist than is Trump. It’s really hard to tell sometimes. Trump seems less of a warmonger, Biden seems less of a race-baiter.

I think the younger generation would be better off…[Read more]

And young people voting?  The Democratic party has no intention of giving young people anyone progressive to vote for, if they can help it.  They fully expect that the young will either not vote, which is fine by them, really, or have a hope that the young will obediently shuffle into the vote for the blue tent – which is not going to happen, I…[Read more]

I will vote for progressives down ticket, but have no expectation that they will make a dent in the party in Congress – which is where the big corrupted money is.  Not even a little hope – to borrow from Neil Sedaka – that little hope went up in smoke years ago.  @jonlp

@jonlp

“He was telling the truth. Not everyone gets their news from Jimmy Dore or Aaron Mate.”

The obvious reply to that is that not everyone gets their news from Rachel Maddow or Stephen Colbert.  Everyone kept saying “we’ll wait for the Mueller report” – then the report came – and it was a whole lot of nothing.  The Clinton campaign spent j…[Read more]

And he was the ONLY RWer I liked and thought was sane in comparison to all the rest.

I don’t do Twitter, so I was fortunate to miss his true self.

@jonlp

Hi jlp,

Can anything Pelosi and Schumer say be taken seriously given their giveaways to the 1%?

More likely this is a symbolic show of support for Trump with words suggesting otherwise.

As should be obvious, America is dead and has been for a long, long time.  Welcome to Fascist America.

@jonlp I agree with that.  Thing is, Bernie in 2016 was already like that.  To those that paid attention, by concentrating on what affects us all, it showed where everyone is hurting.

Where just by virtue of the policies alone, it is already better than the Neoliberal policies.  Especially since these folks don’t really mean to change things to…[Read more]

@jonlp I still think it is a false choice.  I consider concentrating on Working Class issues as a means to improve everything.  I still consider concentrating on piece-meal groups as a means of division, where those who are struggling will then look at those who are getting some perceived help(which is usually nothing to begin with) then becomes e…[Read more]

@jonlp

Hi jlp,

Message to Jeff Weaver.  This Citizen is done with the democrats forever.  So much for herding all Bernie supporters to support neo-liberalism and austerity.

@jonlp

They don’t care if they lose to Trump. That’s the only explanation that makes sense. They are paid to lose.

@jonlp There is no evidence that the Russians, or anyone else, hacked the DNC. None.

@jonlp The recently released testimony from Crowdstrike’s CEO before the House Intelligence Committee in December 2017 proves that. They found zero evidence of a hack into the DNC servers, and they were the firm hired by the DNC to find just that.

Assange was telling the truth. The emails were leaked. I don’t know by whom, and I’m certainly not…[Read more]

In the cs section here, there is tons of evidence that diputes every single thing @JonLP says in this thread. Hell, donna b pretty much admitted dnc involvement in her book. Ray Mcgovern and his intelligence boys pretty much proved it was an inside download not a hack. And on and on. The rich family sang a different tune until the dnc got ahold of…[Read more]
