I wish he felt pressure to do the right thing because I don't how many fucking times we need to go around the circle of Democrats underperforming because they are more worried about courting rich dipshits donating and appeasing lying right-wing loons by moving right.

Again, tell big donors to fuck off. Don't take their money, let them give it to the GOP and then spend every moment pointing that out.

Streets all over will be and I hope every day that today is the day we see it.

What the fuck? Even MAGA fascists aren't stupid enough to say that quiet part out loud.

I fucking hope so.

Primary this guy. And every other weak Democrat who would rather cover their eyes to what's happening than stand up for what's right. No one elected you to be a corporate stooge.
Hakeem Jeffries says of Cuomo's attacks on Mamdani for living in a rent controlled apartment: "It's a legitimate issue that has been raised, and the [Mamdani] campaign is going to have to address it."

Probably, but that's incredibly stupid. Rich donors are wildly unpopular. Telling them to fuck off would probably lead to more support and in not that long even more money as small donors will feel more compelled to donate because they feel like it makes a difference.

Someone needs to primary Jeffries. None of these weak-willed Dems should feel safe in their seats.

But in the end, any kind of parsing of voters to "blame" that group for him winning is not a meaningful view. We can look at that in terms of how things moved and who we need to move in the future, but any group of millions COULD have voted in larger numbers for Harris and swung the election.

I don't disagree that it's nuts. But blaming a minority of voters within a minority group for what a MAJORITY of the country voted for is absurd. If more college educated whites voted for Harris she'd have won. And at least putting on them is putting it on a group that a majority DID vote for him.
