Unions are like anything else democratic…

When people feel like they don’t need to pay attention to leadership elections, shitty people get elected to leadership.

At least the Machiniests seem to know what’s up.

But don’t forget how many endorse Republicans and neoliberals to the determent of their members.

Because Jamie Harrison was the DNC chair during the last vote for Congressional leadership…

Neoliberals lost the DNC like a month after that. The VF they used as a club to get Schumer/Jeffries leadership is gone. That’s the entire reason people started criticizing them openly, they’re toothless

The VF moneywas given back to state parties that it was stolen from, and the reason there was a blue wave.

You don’t have to trust this DNC wont use the same club, because the fucking club doesn’t exist. They couldn’t influence the next leadership vote if they wanted to.

If Schumer and/or Jeffries get it again in January, than yeah, you got a point.

Until that vote spend your time reaching out to the incoming Congress and telling them to go with progressive leadership in 2027

Vote em out:

Blumenthal (D-CT) Coons (D-DE) Cortez Masto (D-NV) Fetterman (D-PA) Gallego (D-AZ) Gillibrand (D-NY) Heinrich (D-NM) Hickenlooper (D-CO) Kim (D-NJ) King (I-ME) Klobuchar (D-MN) Ossoff (D-GA) Peters (D-MI) Reed (D-RI) Rosen (D-NV) Schatz (D-HI) Schumer (D-NY) Shaheen (D-NH) Slotkin (D-MI) Warner (D-VA) Warnock (D-GA) Whitehouse (D-RI)

But don’t lump shitty neoliberals in with “democrats” like others agree with them

Fucking arrest them when they fuck around in your state…

We literally fought a civil war over federal agents raiding states with laws they don’t agree with.

People simplify it as “slavery”, but it’s worse. The Southern States wanted federal agents to literally do slave raids in Northern states, calling every Black American in free states stolen property to be auctioned off in the South.

Lincoln was explicitly fine with Southern slavery, just read his inauguration speech, it’s 99% about how he’s cool with slave states…

The line was he wouldn’t enslave everyone in the North against the wishes and laws of that state. That was why the South started a civil war, the fact that they couldn’t force states to do what they wanted.

Eventually outlawing slavery federally, was an economic sanction more than anything else. Back to Lincoln’s inaugural speech, when he was elected he didn’t even think the Fed should be strong enough to do that even if it wanted.

Shits always more complicated than what we learned in 6th grade history class.

Are you completely idiotic or why do you keep birthing strawmen and let them fuck your holes?

Is that a translated saying?

Just a super weird insult…

It feels like you’re assuming I’m a man and getting homophobic over this

Posts like this one, are obviously AI.

Maisse isn’t in the next congress, that’s why he’s doing it now.

But yeah, if it doesn’t pass now it almost certainly will in two months.

Shit…

I never thought of it, but it’s the Pentagon due to five military branches…

Add Space Force and it’s six I think they’re talking about an AI force…

We’re one branch and a remodel away from our military being run out of a fucking octagon by a couple fucking TV show hosts.

The woman at the center of the speculation is Dana W. White, who previously worked as a senior communications official at the Pentagon. Unlike the UFC boss, she has considerable experience dealing with the media and communicating on behalf of government officials.

Honestly?

It’s more likely to was UFC Dana White, and 100% chance trump though it was UFC Dana White.

No one with a long track record of government experience is getting spots in Trump’s white house

Some early voting ‘dumps’ were so large that it was impossible to win, no matter how many people went to vote

What he means is that in some races, Republicans would have lost if every single Dem voter had stayed home on election day…

Because so many Dem voters couldn’t wait and voted early.

You can tell it’s an AI article, because of the way it is…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_d8mjam7KG8

But the way the headline ignores information in the article, formatting images in the middle of a sentence, the words and tone usage.

Just a whole bunch of minor things that add up to “the way it is”.

It’s really not possible to equate a death to a killing, or a killing to an execution.

Do you think someone being killed by our healthcare system to maximize profit a “death” or a “killing”.

You said they’re different, I’m asking where your personal line is.

No one else can answer that question about your personal line.

Enjoy the country you definitely fought to make like this.

So now I fought against the American military?

I really need to start checking account ages…

You’re running around saying:

No I think Dems need to kill a few people. They won’t of course and this comment will be moderated to keep Americans from rising up! ;)

And calling other people psychopaths

We can obviously spend less on the military, but that’s not how OASDI is funded…

You also don’t know anything about the military apparently

Top priority should be removing the cap on deductions so it’s funded.

Then once the wealthy are paying into it, increase payments.

I didn’t watch this, but saw someone (one of the night show hosts) bring up how conservative podcasters kept bringing up that post made by an anonymous twitter account with an anime profile pic…

People laughed at how ridiculous it was, and the only reason anyone saw it, was Republicans bitching about it.

Actually it might have been that podcast that Cody Johnson from oldschool Cracked that I saw it.

Either way, the original tweet was something rightwingers latched onto immediately, it’s just a dumb twitter joke, literally what the right said was totally cool and Elon explicitly said was why he bought twitter, “to make comedy legal”

So you don’t think our health insurance system equates to murder? Or at least intentionally killing?

You don’t think the people letting the poor children starve are murderers?

I guess we just disagree homes.

I’m pretty sure the article is written by AI…

The first contribution to the Cicero Voters Alliance (The Larry Dominick Team) was for $1,000, made in 2021, according to Illinois State Board of Elections records.

It’s started (in that specific place) five years ago.

It’s most likely an ilands chatbot…

The company rents idiots compute time and promises the bot will make money on its own.

Everyone doing it is an idiot, because only an idiot wouldn’t ask why the company needs to rent a magic money making bot to people in the first place

They’re running rampant online with the only prompt being “make money”.

That’s why they keep making these posts begging for feedback.
