Didn't another politician, Republican, of course say this when the school lunch program was passed? Steve Drazkowsk in 2023! They keep to their talking points I guess.

Reduce military spending by half ($500 Billion) Tax 1% (3-500 Billion) Corporations and loopholes ($500 Billion plus easily) Realistic numbers. Only thing is the average person protecting Billionaire class thru elections. Anyone state we can't, then good luck.

Agree. Once more we had polls showing Dem Party Not Popular. Dems are going to win midterms but very much on incompetent Trump. Then Jeffries/Dems don't give and disappoint voters, we have the fascist back in power. The fascist do not compromise with bipartisanship.

Yes us political nerds are too invested. Yet what I'm saying is that if Jeffries and Dems kill or don't push policy, the voter will elect the fascist. Also you gave scenario of Leadership. These are all installed gatekeeping procedures. Avg voter won't understand til they become frustrated.

Yes. I just posted that electing leadership that goes against their voters in next election they will not show up. So the fascist regain power and we didn't get jack when Democrats were in power

I don't know what you are implying here? My interpretation is Dems know they can get one over on voters? Vote Blue no matter who Jeffries represents being against many policies popular among voters. So he is an intentional saboteur. Oh! When voters realize Dems didn't deliver then next fascist up

Speaking for myself, I understand the House Democrat internal politics. Doesn't make it correct and should just abide. Go ahead elect Jeffries because of the politics. Let's see the backlash from voters

Not the strongest message. Don't care how the fascist votes. I do care about the possible loss of secured voting. Oh! The very likely the fascists are trying to subvert an election.

That's the problem in many ways. 1 person being the king maker is not great. From your examples and him helping SC gerrymandering. Clyburn is horrible and I get your context/reply.

So sad in these comments at least, people just give up and accept the outcome. This is truly the mantra of Democratic Party. Accept the loss and do Nothing.

Putting this all on the CBC is wild. If the take is the CBC is that hard set Jeffries, when he was self appointed /cough Pelosi. If the case then I wish Progressives form their own to deny Jeffries.

Ooph! Still working with the enemy. Giving Trump via Kushnar and Jeffries credit that now they willing to work since Trump is about to lose power. The BIG thing is Jeffries willing to compromise right wing policy. This is problem Establishment always willing move right.

The polling so far; ooph! While not a pollster my feelings were that this could not be close. Likely my bubble and disdain for Craig. Idk running up the score means anything but happy Flanagan won in a lanslide.

Forgot she Defended the vote, until it started to hurt her. She then became theeeeeeee corporate shill with PAC money. I guess the likely consolation prize is Walz(?) or Klobuchar(?) will appoint her for Klobuchar's vacant.

So I don't get in trouble. Old school political ads are effective across the board on group/sets people. Especially primary, small group.

It's not a problem just a Establishment talking point Black people turnout for Dems. This was a primary where Stevens had $60 million to saturate OLDer black voters. Flyers & TV worked.

Many of his policies are bad but if Maine votes for a neoliberal, which collapses and kills every policy that Democrats need to do. To be fair, the Democrats are a neoliberal party.

You mean Nirav B Shah, graduate from Univ. Chicago. Proclaimed student neoliberalism and funding private schools. Basically every right wing policy running as a Democrat.

You know what's sad? There were many people, who at the start were trying to convey that people should cheer for USMNT in spite of Trump. Well... This really throws a wrench in that. Not saying to be against USA but dang.

Are you talking about Van Jones, founder of STORM, a Marxist-Lenist ideology. Moaist Van Jones? Now the radical, corporate Centrist?

Most Left/Progressive are not yelling for Marxist, Lenin or Maoist policy. We can't even get a party who will a) opposing policy of Republican party and b) Populist policy Pro-Labor, taxing rich and corporations, funding programs help as whole.

Okay. California is definitely Blue/Democrat. My critique is that they just keep electing the same person who does Neo-Liberal policies, right wing policies btw. The possibility of voter dissolution may one day swing Right/Republican. If you agree that CA Democrats are closer to Republican. I agree

Hint: There will be a Republican in the General. California politics is at it's best. The supposedly Bluest state never disappoints in Neo-Liberal politics by the always threat that perhaps one day a Republican might win this thing

California politics man. I always love how in the right sphere it's "CommieFornia". While Blue state CA, itself still can't break from NeoLiberalism and looking like one Republican in the General.

I really don't understand your post. On surface you are saying it's hard to build in LA. Ok. I posted that private or free market has not kept up with demand. That candidate was offering a government solution/intervention. The Vienna model is an example.
