crankyrebel@lemmy.dbzer0.comto United States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•The Democratic Party51·17 hours agoExactly, voted for him twice out of principle, but he was no fighter. He bent the knee to the neo-liberals twice and then began shepherding voters into voting for them in the end, the ultimate betrayal.

She created a hostile working environment, her employees could never look her straight in the eye, else they might turn to stone. I remember reading a story long before she had the Ellen talk show about a card game she hosted at her house, and she was so mean to her guests. She made one woman cry because she won and wanted to leave early. She is a horrible person. I feel sorry for any country where she resides.

That, in a nutshell.

There is no change inside the DNC. It is controlled by neo-liberals who will squash any and all progressive ideals…else they would be out there fighting for them. Neo-liberals are about keeping everything the same for their corporate donors, talk about change, do nothing. This is a dead-end, zombie party.
No, we need a real working class party that actually fights for actual change.
LOL, ouch. Mine is not plastic but ceramic…cancer free.
Define this cleaning thing.
Illegally downloading this game now.
It is a mixed bag, some support legalization and smoking weed. A lot of the MAGA base are older, 60’s (era of flower power, drugs, freedom) gen that sold out their peace/no war to become CEO’s and fuck over the workers, yet still like to party. The other side are more religious, so “god” has told them (in their minds, I guess) that weed and all drugs are bad. Pharmaceuticals though, are welcome, in hand-fulls. It is all fuzzy math, really.

Let the uni-party wars begin, two heads of a snake with the same body. Of course, this is all a big distraction from Epstein, and they know people have a short attention span.
LOL, OMG. It is a play on words, a margarita vs a rim job.

She is not the progressive darling we need, just the best the DNC has, and at times, that isn’t saying much. We need a viable working class, progressive party that isn’t afraid to fight.
She is an outspoken surrogate for President Biden, a figure many fellow socialists have condemned as a warmonger. She has also carefully calibrated her messaging around the war in Gaza, declining to take some positions that have inflamed Jewish Americans.

crankyrebel@lemmy.dbzer0.comto United States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•Tulsi Gabbard calls for Obama to be prosecuted over 2016 election claims12·3 days agoTulsi’s actions aside, a politician who has flip-flopped on every issue known to man, so no surprise, it is shocking to me to see so many defend Obama. He is a self-proclaimed ‘CENTRIST’, which is basically a republican-lite who governed as such. His campaign injected by money from bankers, which is why he bailed them out and left the working class homeless during the housing crisis. He was the king of drone-bombing during his reign, killing lots of innocent women and children, then in ironic and laughable fashion was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. He created a healthcare system not on the backs of medicare like the progressives wanted, but built with the healthcare and insurance companies, which is why Obamacare today is as bad as it was before he created it, only now they force everyone into it else you get fined on your taxes. He was no working class hero, just another neo-liberal nightmare.
Yes! I was so excited. I hated spending hours at Blockbuster and all those late fees. Crony-capitalism sure made a mess out of the “solution.”
