“(With) today’s Supreme Court decision on presidential immunity, that fundamentally changed. For all practical purposes, there are virtually no limits on what the president can do. It’s a fundamentally new principle and it’s a dangerous precedent because the power of the office will no longer be constrained by the law even including the supreme court of the United States.”

Throughout his address, Biden underscored the gravity of the moment, emphasizing that the only barrier to the president’s authority now lies in the personal restraint of the officeholder. He warned vehemently against the prospect of Trump returning to power, painting a stark picture of the dangers such an outcome could pose.

      It doesn’t do what it should.

      The point of the party is supposed to be long-term strategy and putting the platform over any one person.

      When people talk about what the DNC should be doing, it’s not some “gotchya” to point out that they’re not doing their job and leadership needs replaced.

      It’s just proving their point

        So because the National Committee’s short and long term strategy is not what you’d be doing, you think they’re not doing anything.

        Do you do any local political organizing?

          you think they’re not doing anything.

          What’s their long term plan?

          As far as I can tell, it’s only prevent progressives from taking control of the party.

            For now, they’re planning on getting out voters for the general election, and recruiting volunteers along the way.

            Most planning falls to state and local parties - which you can easily get involved in.

            Why haven’t you?

              For now,

              Bruh…

              Do you know what “long term planning” means?

              If you don’t think they have one, say it.

              So basically the only thing they care about is winning, not actually representing peoples values?

              Theyre more than just an election committee, thats what the DCCC is for.

                Of course they are in it for the money, what do you think?

                  I think they should be working for the people. The government isn’t (supposed to be) a money making scheme.

                    Yes, but that’s not how it works in practice. Running a government is a huge money-making machine, and so it attracts the worst kind of people.
