  • Just so we’re clear, you’re explaining that FDR got those things through by taking actions that he was able to do, and that if he hadn’t, we would not have gotten.

    IE he is directly responsible for the permanent creation of multiple agencies which would not have been created without his foresight, plan, or public push.

    What was that about him carrying out plans by Congress when he constantly had to wield public authority to make Congress do the things they were supposed to do? You just not gonna mention the fact that he had to threaten the supreme court multiple times to stack the court or remove justices in order to get them to play along with his reformations?

    Besides, the democrats haven’t done anything like that in around 79 years which goes to my point that they aren’t doing anything.

    Nah democrats lost an election that was handed to them on a sliver plater.

    The most important job of a political party is to energize the electorate, something the democrats have failed to do for the better part of 20 years.

    If every 3rd party voted D in this race it wouldn’t not have saved the this election. Democrats shot themselves in the foot by allowing Genocide Joe to attempt to run again (it’s also highly likely he knew about his prostate cancer at this point) and then using the less than useless strat of appealing to moderates and Republicans.

    Their incompetence was highlighted by their less-than-useless strategy of trying to appeal to moderates and conservatives by appearing on stage with people that the Democrats electorate hate, like George Bush and Liz Cheney, which resulted in less moderate and conservative votes than from 2020.




  • I have pointed out numerous times how this strategy is just a repeat of the same electoral strategy that radical liberals have been engaging in for the better part of 20 years.

    This is clearly not a winning strategy. You’re not being pragmatic you’re being insane because you continue to do the same thing expecting a different result while watching our government inch closer to fascism.

    Pragmatically voting for minimizing harm means voting in the most working class candidate possible because that’s what we should all do regardless of party and vote for the most Progressive policies to uplift Working Class People. Anything past that is generally a waste of time.

    If there’s a candidate a particular group is interested in sure they could spend some of their time doing electoral politics but they have additional responsibilities they have to do which are far more important and then spreading the propaganda of whatever candidate they’re trying to get voted in.

    Like I said before education is incredibly important to help build the working class party and an educated working class would vote for the working class candidate regardless of party.

    To your point you don’t get to pick who the generals are either. Nor do you get to pick who your comrades are or what the proper strategies are. Sometimes we have to conform to reality which I would argue that you are not.



  • Okay so yeah you are objectively correct that she did vote down the overall bill that funds Israel in general but let’s not forget that she was condemned by Ilhan Omar and DSA for voting no on the MTG Amendment. It’s not just people throwing shade at her she is receiving legitimate criticism for not voting away more of Israel’s funding. The argument is quite simple As long as Israel commits a genocide they should receive no military funding period regardless of what they would use the assets for.

    She is using the proper terminology calling this a genocide. She is heavily critical of Israel and she at least didn’t vote Yes on a funding bill in 2021.

    So in general she tends to be pretty Pro Palestinian but I think in this particular case on the MTG Amendment this is a loss unequivocally for her and she made a mistake. And she’s deepening that mistake by doubling down.
