      The *Non-Voters. They’re trying to appeal to the people who actually showed up to the polls

      Edit: I’m not saying it’s okay. It’s just a fact of the matter.

        The narcissists fantasy.

        It occurs to you that quite litterally the only way for them to win was to appeal to the voters that didn’t show up?

            Your argument is basically to throw elections because you don’t want the party to have to appeal to voters that aren’t already in the bag.

            Please, please, please never take a position as a Democratic strategist. Maybe just keep ideas that will continue to hand more power to Republicans to yourself.

              So who do you think they are trying to appeal to if not Trumpers? It seems pretty obvious to me. Maybe you are slow, but I never said I thought it was a good idea. That’s just literally what they’re doing. How thick can you be?

          Is everyone in this thread living in group homes for the mentally disabled? I don’t think it’s a good idea at all. That’s just literally what they are doing based on this post. I was just correcting the meme to be more accurate to the post we are all commenting under.

      They are not wondering. It is intentional. They rather have Fascism than modest social democrat policies. Their version of Liberalism is closer to Fascism than to anything based on basic protection for human and civil rights.

    I’m a Democratic Strategist and I APPROVE This Message! If the Democrats DONT Bully the ONLY Candidates that People Like then HOW will they Manage to get Republicans who would LITERALLY RATHER DIE THEN VOTE DEMOCRAT to Vote for them? Those are the ONLY Voters they can Rely on since Democrats ALSO don’t Want to Vote for Democrats anymore!

      Mamdani is the candidate on the ballot and he’s got overwhelming support from the democrats in the NY state congress, pretty shit example to use for the claim “your democracy is undeniably dead”.

      The plan is what its always been: vote for the DNC candidate.

          He won the DNC primary. He is a Democrat. In the General Election Ballot there will be a Democrat ticket with his name on it. Mamdani is the DNC.

              Because he’s considering running in the general election as an Independent (non-Democrat). It would be funny if he didn’t even get enough signatures to get on the ballot, though.

          Under the Biden administration millions of people gained healthcare coverage and the IRS was actively auditing the rich to great success. Imagine what they could do if they had a senate with more than 50 DNC for the first time in over a decade.

              I feel like it’s been days if not weeks since somebody brought up an actually policy stance or vote, but no instead it’s just “oh but they’re so corrupt, they’re the establishment, they’re just like Republicans” bla bla bla.

                Policy stance like breaking railroad strike by passing the law which all of the unions rejected.

                Policy stance like doing nothing while abortion rights are challenged and eventually overturned.

                Policy stance like loyalty to corporates over people’s needs. Like promoting dieing democrat over progressive candidates.

                  1. Those Railroad Unions got all of their demands met at a later date thanks to pressure from the Biden Admin.

                  2. Republicans stacked the SCOTUS, not Democrats. Unless you want to blame Ruth for dying at an inopportune moment.

                  3. ??? That feels like a two parter which is part aforementioned baseless claims and part non-English ???

                  Yes, thank you for finally having a proper discussion.

    The Democrat Party gave us Trump. They’re too interested in themselves to think about America. If they’d embraced Bernie in 2016 and 2020, the name Trump would only be on a board game.

    The Democratic Party is infested with anti-Semites, just like the Republican party is. These anti-Semites believe that Jews cannot truly be real Americans. Anti-Semites like Jeffries believe in the old Nazi concept that Jews are innately foreigners in whatever land they reside in. A Jewish American must have loyalty to the state of Israel, regardless of their personal conscience or beliefs, simply due to the race and religion they were born into. To be Jewish is to be Israeli; you as a Jewish person have no choice in the matter. The Democratic establishment believes in this Hitlerian definition of anti-Semitism. Any criticism of Israel is an attack on all Jewish people, because Jews cannot truly be full citizens of any nation except Israel.

    The Democrat party is infested with anti-Semites.

        There’s no belief. It’s just basic facts. If you believe that being Jewish is inseparable from being a Zionist or being an Israeli, you are a flaming anti-Semite. This is the fundamental logic of the Holocaust. The Nazis believed that Jews were born foreigners. A Jew’s family could have been living in Germany for centuries, they could have proudly served Germany during WW1, and they could personally consider themselves nothing but German. But for the Nazis, it didn’t matter. Jews were foreigners in any land they resided in, they could never really truly be full German citizens. This was the logic of the Nazis, and it is the logic of Republicans and anti-Semitic Democrats like Jeffries. This is why they believe that any criticism of Israel is an attack on Jews generally - Jews can never be truly fully American. They will always be suspect. They will always have dual loyalty. This was also the same logic used to justify the Japanese internment camps during WW2.

        I mean just think about it. This is a two way street. If criticizing the actions of the Israeli government is an attack on American Jews, then Jewish Americans must somehow be responsible for the actions of the Netanyahu government. Currently we’re allied with Israel, but what if that changed? What if geopolitical winds shifted, and suddenly we became allies of Iran? Seems crazy, but that kind of shift has happened before. Look at how we allied with the Soviet Union in WW2. If were to ally with Iran, and Israel became our enemy, well then I suppose Republicans and the anti-Semitic Democrats would be calling for the mass expulsion or internment of Jewish Americans. They clearly believe that American Jews are inseparable from the Israeli government. If relations with Israel were to sour, then they would logically support holding Jewish Americans responsible for the actions of the Israeli government.

        In truth, this kind of thinking is a disgusting abomination. Individuals are responsible for their own deeds. The only people responsible for the actions of the Israeli government are Israeli leaders and perhaps the Israeli electorate. A random American Jew has no more moral culpability for the crimes of the Israeli government than they do the crimes of the North Korean regime. People are not their race or religion. You have a right to be free and to be judged by your own actions and the content of your own character, not by the actions of a foreign nation that happens to share a dominant ethnicity to your own.

        If I had to flee the US as refugee, I would hope that those in whatever land I fled to could separate my own actions and character from the actions of the US government. I am an individual and a human being. I do not control the actions of the US government. But yet, if someone is Jewish, Republicans and anti-Semitic Democrats do not abide by this principle. To them, Judaism is inseparable from the Israeli state. And ultimately no Jewish person can truly be a full American. This is what they truly believe in their heart of hearts. And that is why they are a despicable collection of flaming anti-Semites.
