Schumer only got his current spot because they vote on leadership a week or two before the DNC votes on chair…

So when Schumer followed the neoliberal playbook of threatening to cut off funds to home states of anyone that didn’t vote for him, it was a valid threat.

A week later, it became toothless because there isn’t a neoliberal shill running the DNC anymore.

That’s why so many Dem politicians are willing to say Schumer (and Jeffries) need replaced even if they voted for them a year ago.

The DNC changed the math.

but the Dems tend to let me down so much…

I’ve been bitching about “the Dems” since elementary school when they defended Bill Clinton for lying under oath…

A year ago was really the first time we pried the party back from neoliberals in all those 30 years, because Obama just ignored it instead of appointing chairs that agreed with him.

I’ll never be blindly optimistic about anything but as fucked as America is today, this is the most hopeful I’ve ever been for the country on a 10 year timeline.

We just ain’t thru the worst yet.

One of the reasons is we’re a year deep into “fight everywhere”.

The DNC has been giving all the money stolen from state parties via the “victory fund” Hillary started a decade ago, back to the state parties.

Allowing them to operate at campaign staffing levels when normally that’s just a couple months every other year.

If you understand what the DNC has been doing since they gave neoliberals the boot, none of this is surprising.

We’re most likely going to see FDR still president right after trump.

Zero idea what any of that means…

My point was “managers” aren’t “the top” they’re literally one level above the bottom

And anything they’re tell the bottom ring to do, is because that’s what they were told to say.

I seem to have overestimated people’s work experience or critical thinking tho, loads of people seem to think of front line managers as “the boss”.

That’s obvious to everyone except OP, who wants to start one ring above workers somehow

This is what he felt the need to apologize for:

“A lot of Democrats have looked at the Netanyahu regime and felt like, you know what, we don’t like his trajectory; that it’s time to rethink the U.S. relationship with Israel, especially military support,” Vietor said.

Newsom responded:

“The issue of Bibi (Netanyahu) is interesting because he’s got his own domestic issues. He’s trying to stay out of jail. He’s got an election coming up. He’s potentially on the ropes. He’s got folks, the hard line, that want to annex the West Bank. Friedman and others are talking about it appropriately as sort of an apartheid state.”

Co-host Jon Favreau then pressed him directly:

“Do you think, looking down the road, that the United States should consider maybe rethinking our military support for Israel?”

Newsom answered:

“It breaks my heart, because the current leadership in Israel is walking us down that path where I don’t think you have a choice but that consideration.”

He’s not even allowed to say that some day things might hypothetically get bad enough where they may need to consider not funding Israels genocides with a blank check…

He shouldn’t hold any sort of political office.

It’s not sound logic, but everyone needs to understand how a narcissist thinks these days.

They end conflicts based on when they think they have an advantage. Prior goals aren’t important just being able to declare victory.

If/when the other side doesn’t stop when you tell them to, the narcissist acts and truly believes a new conflict has just started, and they are now legitimately the victim and not an aggressor.

In their heads, that’s reality.

So yeah, it fucking sucks and shouldn’t be like this.

But a narcissist is in charge of America’s military, and that’s how he thinks. And if no one stops him it’s going to get worse.

No matter what happens in Iran, he’s going to twist it as justification to push further somewhere else. Either because he gets what he wants, or he doesn’t and feels he needs to save face by looking strong somewhere else.

For as long as he’s in office he’ll keep doing this to other countries that have natural resources

“A lot of people will say it’s a war crime because mostly these power plants are probably there for the civilian population,” said Clark, who warned “you cannot destroy civilian assets in an effort to put harm on the population.”

He concluded, “Now, if you can show it has a military connection, that’s different. But if it’s simply to put pressure on the government by harming the civilian population, then that’s de jure– that’s a war crime.”

You can tell it’s a war crime… Because of the way it is…

Fucking insane that we’re really at the level where shit is being explained like this to the US president.

90% of them supported the illegal war

And youve proven that by linking this article:

78% of Jewish Israelis support continuing Iran war — poll

I think to clarify this we’d have to start with counting…

So?

Check it out:

Israel has cancelled like 5 elections and shouldn’t be called a democracy anymore, Bibi isn’t going to stop the genocides, and he’s not letting “democracy” be one of the options.

By your logic, you now have to support me despite anything else.

I hope you understand how ridiculous it is to believe everything else someone says if they believe one true thing.

Like buddy, that’s fucking propaganda in a nutshell.

He has fans, you don’t. So your words fall flat.

And if he was such a bad person, he wouldn’t have so many people character assassinating him.

Exactly what I’m talking about …

Sub him out for trump, musk, kirk, any far right Nazi…

And you really see the same defenses come up

and when he went to the democratic national convention

In 2024…

After being invited…

And he said on stream it was because he had made pro-Istael comments in the past, but why the fuck did they invite him?

He’s a grifter, stop taking his words as gospel on what happened, especially if you hearing it from people who don’t even know what election it was

Because when you rise to that level of power to be in the NYT editorial board…

The only non-millionaires you interact with are employees, and then it’s just a handful that talk to the rest.

You can’t compensate for this level of wealth inequality. The powerful will always side with themselves, because that’s their social circle and how the human brain is wired.

It’s the entire problem with neoliberalism.

Besides the obvious issue of conflating religion with politics…

They just had pretty large protests across Israel:

You have to remember that with “birthright” citizenship, there is a constant stream of new voters who not only aren’t tired of war, they have a personal financial motivation to increase Israel’s borders; they are the “settlers” who steal land rather than buy it.

Loads of Jewish Israelis who have had to serve in the IDF for generations want peace, and have been against Bibi since before he first took office.

You talking wet bulb or dry bulb bub?

Did he endorse Democrats in the 2020 election? He was kicked out of the Democrat convention because he was anti Israel.

Im not sure if you’re confusing a whole bunch of things together and not understanding any of them…

Or if the twitch brainrot is making you talk about 5 different things in two sentences.

Can you try that comment again if you need help understanding something?

It’s just like everyone looked at alt-right young Nazi streamers, and learned all the wrong lessons…

Literally:

The show’s name Young Turks has been criticized and called for change[35] due to the original Young Turks political movement in the Ottoman Empire being responsible for committing the Armenian genocide, the Assyrian genocide, and the Greek genocide.[37][36] Alex Galitsky, who works for the Armenian National Committee of America, stated “If a group decided to call themselves ‘the Young Nazis’, and pitched themselves as a disruptor or anti-establishment news outlet, people would be rightly outraged”.[37]

That’s his uncle that mentored him… Those are the people who shaped his political opinions

There’s plenty of actual progressive streamers, hell, Kat has an open schedule, and people actually like her.

The only people who like Hasan, are people who want to piss off people who disagree with them.

If we’re gonna piss of Nazis, there’s better ways to do it than hanging out with different flavors of bigots and genocide enthusiasts.

He’s a douchey nepo baby who comes off as an insufferable jackass… Seriously, his mom made him intern at his uncle’s company (The Young Turks) and when his uncle needed someone to fill in, he picked his nephew.

Who immediately quit the internship and became a fulltime streamer.

He is a lot like the far right streamers that neoliberals want.

But he’s not what the vast majority of the Dem voting base wants.

And it has absolutely nothing to do with any policy position he may or may not have. Because he didn’t get into this for politics, he wants the attention of being a streamer and he saw an opening.

He’s not a political activist who streams, he’s a streamer that will say anything to get famous, and we don’t need people like that attached to the party.

He wants to sit on twitch 8 hrs a day and say vote D? Awesome, more power to him.

But he’s clearly saying whatever gets him attention, and shit is too important to legitimize him when that’s all he cares about

Why?

There’s 52 weeks in a year, but the neat thing about numbers is theyre infinite.

Something can easily take 520 weeks, that’s still “weeks” just a shit ton of em
