      I mean, when over half the US is at a below-sixth-grade reading level, he’s not wrong, he’s just an asshole.

    Fetterman is an excellent example of the need for representatives to be immediately recallable.

    Fuckin Fetterman. Guy feels like an intentional personification of ‘don’t get your hopes up.’ Even the relative ambiguity around how much the stroke changed his personality; how dizzying.

      If you wanted to dampen progressive enthusiasm, you could do a lot worse than running centrists as progressives and then having them show their true colors after they get elected,

        There are lots of them. And they were known before he ran. Not to the general public of course. But people that knew him knew he was an asshole. The problem being twofold. The public was never told who he really was. They were successfully sold a fabrication . And he was running against a bigger asshole.

          This is what the left is spectacularly good and bad at.

          They sell you an image of perfection because that’s what people want to see.

          Except it isn’t real, it never is. They sell you everybody as if they’re all sanders.

          And then the rug pull. Happens almost every fucking time.

          They’re either beholden to billionaires interests, or worse.

          You can tell the few that REALLY are good people. The whole party rallies together to stop them. AOC’s recent failed appointment, sanders and Hillary’s backhanded deal to keep him out.

          There’s no winning here, the psychopaths have won.

            I voted for Sanders twice. He lost the popular vote. There was no back handed backroom deal. As someone who is pragmatically anarchist I don’t like the system and believe things should be more granular and local as a rule. Which would go a long way to solving this exact problem. You generally have a much better idea of people in your local community and who they are. Not always. But generally.

              Sanders supporters literally sued the DNC and the case was dismissed by DNC legal counsel arguing they were under no obligation to enact the will of the people and had every right to make backroom Deals in dark rooms filled with cigar smoke and rich old men. We are living in fascism right now. Both parties are owned by the same wall street military and prison industry profiteers who also control all the main stream legacy media outlets. The idea that our democratic system still functions is foolishly naive

              …are you saying you believe we had a fair democratic primary when Bernie ran against Hillary? You genuinely don’t believe the Democratic Party stacked the deck against him so that the candidate they picked (Hillary) received the nomination?

    I can see his point. Rooting for Trump to fail means rooting for things to get terrible for a lot of Americans.

    Trump failed on Covid and people died.

      Trump succeeded on COVID. Solidifying his base to confirm his death cult was his success.

      His success is our failure. Our priorities are not aligned.

      Trump failed because he was empowered to fail.

      as a leader in the nation it’s his responsibility to give feedback from his constituency to his leader.

      wishing him failure or success is meaningless in the eye of his voters, and his comments are merely signaling to the GOP that he won’t be an obstacle to them.
