U.S. Sen. John Cornyn said the FBI agreed to help track down Texas lawmakers who left the state in a bid to block a new congressional map rigged to favor Republicans, sparking fears of a potential standoff between law enforcement or even illegal arrests.
The dems are a real trip. Trump and the GOP gleefully and massively damaged healthcare, medical research, scientific research, etc. They stole the from poor to create a gigantic money funnel to the rich. They created the best funded Gestapo in the history of the world. Trump is vile, incompetent, corrupt and a criminal who has already grifted many billions from Trump 2.0.
Despite all of that - the dems are historically unpopular. And their plan is - of course - 100% risk averse.
We’re headed for the rocks but if we can get some independents onboard - maybe at the last minute we can turn this thing around we all won’t die!
Do something radic— Oh. That’s always a bridge too far. But at least do something now and be bold. Can you at least do that?
No. But we doing polling and focus groups to determ—
Oh, fuck off.
They learned their lesson in 2008. Even though Obama was 100% in the tank for the bourgeoisie and the DNC, they will never ever again allow a fair presidential primary. Bernie would have been the best thing for the democrats in the short and long term, particularly because he would roll over on most everything and be satisfied with playing around in the margins to improve things slightly without really rocking the boat. The DNC is dead set on never again allowing any outsider candidate with progressive posturing anywhere near the controls.
What are you doing! You’re sending us away from the rocks in a risky manner. We can’t allow that!
