Raising fist. Solidarity!!
Hey LD, I hope you and JD are okay. Saw the horrific news on the flooding in Dallas. 🙁
He’s going to like some of his new colleagues come November. 🙂
If the WFP wants some serious cred as a viable national/state threat to these craporate, rich, backwards DNC types, then run her. Put up or shut up.
AOC is the Democrats’ best shot against Trump in 2024
As much as there is much to agree with, the Dems would consider AOC another Mondale or McGovern. She’s different from them, but I don’t think the DNC would support such a candidate like her.
Who wrote this??!!! was the thought that I had as I read through this article, so I clicked the link to The Hill and saw that it was by Michael Starr Hopkins. Since I didn’t know who that was, I googled his name then clicked on a link to an article he wrote for The Daily Beast. Here’s how they describe him at the beginning of the article,
Okay, nuff said. I would never trust his judgement. And although I have much love and respect for AOC, the skepticism that I experienced as I read his article is justified.
100% agree with you Aint. If anything, this kind of article gives more reason to be skeptical about the politician Ocasio-Cortez has become – the neolib stooges think they can ply her to their will as effectively as they did with Obama.
They would never paint such a portrait with Sanders or anybody who actually was a threat to their bottom lines.
I’m just going to go with you never know as we get more progressives in office and the nut job boomers on my generation die off. She very well could be a serious candidate in 2 – 3 cycles. Mother nature will dictate that a progressive takes the reigns as climate change gets worse since the Rs are non belivers. The R nut jobs are still into the hoax of climate change. We all know the mother earth has climate cycles throughout the planets history. What they wont accept is man is terraforming the Earth into catastrophic changes that humans wont like or maybe not survive as a species. Most of the time i go to an website or news carticle that has a comment section im astounded of the stupidity thats spewed out and people believe it.
Climate crisis is becoming a situation world-wise that dwarfs world wars. A lot of young folks know it. I’ve met enough of them. 🙂 A nation, or better yet a group of nations, has got to start restoring the natural balance. Why not this one? This country would come together fast if the actual emergency is declared.

I’m guessing he’s had enough. He’s over 80 now. I read in another tweet he’s leaving in December.
You would hope that Biden would have the sense to know when to call it quits. HRC finally figured it out.
I hope the baroness is enjoying being the baroness, but she continues to assert herself in conversations. The one who learned from the experience was Al Gore.
Byedone, Schumer, Pelousy,Feinstein the Turtle 🐢 and a few dozen more. They all are long over due for the home for old politicians. Just set up a holo-suite of capitiol hill and let them think they’re still legislating- harming no one.😁😁😁
He was given his position by the Raygun goons. No wonder he initially blew the Covid precautions. At least, he knows it’s time to quit.
Actually, Fauci got his position in the government starting in 1968.
So, who appointed him? According to Wiki, he become NIH director during Raygun.
Dont blame him, enjoy retirement time isnt on your side…
He’s not Sh1t Rott (who desperately belongs in prison) for nothin”. He’s not doing so well getting new GOPuke Senators elected.
Yeah they may find out whom paid the way for his vay cay on someones super yahct in Itlay that the Rott is on right now.
Liz Cheney: Goodbye and Good Riddance
I don’t recall if this video was posted here before. It’s from 4 days ago but really explores who Liz is, her war mongering, and all the people advancing legislation she opposed.
She did have a good teacher… But if she’s a continued pain in the ass to Cult -45 i wouldn’t mind that.

My thoughts without my usual profanity. LOL. There is no word invented in American English that accurately describes the malignant evil of of the Nixon/Raygun/Cheney-Bush/tRump mindset.
On that note, perhaps if SPM wins the primary, progressives should accept his loss in the general election to a Republican (i.e., fail to vote for him) to ensure that the ahole doesn’t continue in that seat forever.
Has SPM ever sponsored any legislation for the LGBTQ+ community?
Not that I’m aware of
Figures.
Biaggi sounds gutless. That retreat on defund the police says an awful lot about what she’d do if elected.
She is very progressive compared to Sean Maloney. He’s a total dick.
Mandela Barnes needs to use this against Ron Johnson. He is a danger to society.
Should be an ad soon, The moron from Wi ran an ad that its not about Cult-45 but WI.
I hope that GOPher is chased out of DC. He’s probably already lined up a K street job.
PA and WI are sending Ds to the Senate in January. Other states are in play, too, like FL.
I saw somewhere that Fetterman, Beasley, and whoeover wins the primary in FL tonight, are forming a pact as flip to blue senate seats. Barnes is liable to become part of that, and I sure hope Charles Booker can get in too.
Wow, is that an admission of guilt?
Thanks Benny. Stay on his butt. If he thinks he has a chance at another term as president, he has another thought coming.
I’m sure not going to vote for Trump, anyone like Trump, or some spoiler who might assure that Trump or somebody like Trump is elected. Sure, I’d like the see a progressive nominated by the Dems. But the DNC is not going to let that happen, no matter what they have to do. We’ve seen that in the last two elections. And there’s no time at this point to form a viable third party. So, do we accept more of the half steps? Or cling to our ideals and not only let the great be the enemy of the passable, but to jump right on into the fascist fire? Again? Seems to me that until fascism is gone from this country, until sanity returns, we don’t have a lot of choice, here. It’s better to whittle away at the bastards as we can than to run backwards.
Touché Benny, Thats a conversartion Byedones kids never had to worry about hearing at thier kitchen table.
+270!
From The Lever
WATCH NOW: Will Biden Cut Social Security?
The Lever’s new video reveals how the Obama-era midterm disaster could repeat itself if President Biden capitulates to Republican calls to cut Social Security.
I am not in the mood for another Catfood Commission.
Nobody is cutting Social Security, not in this country. Not without the loss of all, forever. This stuff is just like overturning Roe– what does the dog do, once it’s caught the bus? Wish it hadn’t, that’s what.
And the midterms aren’t nearly the GOP lock that moderates are projecting. People are ticked off right now, they have been for months, and that’s not going to change between now and November.
One hopes you are right, but I’ll believe it when I see it, given the extreme attention span problems of the current electorate.
Yeah, it’s called Dumbed Down.
This year is different. People are very ticked off.
As long as the boomers are around i dont think it will get cut, BUT the generations after are being conditioned to go with out it and thats more scary as they would cut what they wont get.
They’re also being shown how the stock market can wipe you out.
I just think it’s possible to make a point without raising the collective anxiety level through the roof.
I could use less “raising the collective anxiety level”..
He’s rich and senile enough.

Bedingfield and her communications crew do not know how to communicate ethically and cleanly. The GOP could turn all of the “special interest” BS on the Dems on a dime. See jcitybone’s post about Dems in bed with pharma.
Get em, Benny.
