    The democrats desperately want the servility of the republican voting base without putting in any of the work that made it that way. They got a taste of it with Biden and it was intoxicating.

    Honestly this meme needs to be reposted at least once a month so people aren’t surprised when the DNC ratfucks kindergarten-level ethics.

    Look kiddo, the reality is that sometimes you have to vote for genocide. Of course there are candidates that are against genocide, but the Adults in the RoomTM would never vote for them, and so neither should you.

    It’s so much more than just Israel but that’s emblematic of their arrogance. They are sold out on everything, getting worse every cycle, Biden despite what he said, was further right than not only Nixon, but than George HW Bush, the first one. Just a total piece of shit, and he made his career off being a sold out piece of shit.

    The mask is off, and the oligarchy doesn’t think they need the left, they have nothing but contempt for them, and would rather the right win than popular reform get spearheaded by the party, on all fronts.

    All as the Republicans are openly planning on fixing elections, persecuting their opponents, critics, etc. Do they not think the republicans will follow through if they win? If Dems were systematically stealing elections, they would have to be punished. That is the only silver lining here, fall of 2027 I bet indictments come down for false vote rigging allegations, in service of republicans rigging elections, and these democrats, including their front runners, will be ensnared in federal investigations.

      They can’t change anything cause it might change who has the money and they won’t get paid by their friends anymore. It is as simple as that.

      They will protect their paycheck over the country any day and come up with whatever PR campaign they think will fix it with anyone who is still paying attention. Telling people to be happy is the same as them being so as long as they don’t think about it and they simply won’t.

      Their way of life depends on it.

    Silly leftist, of course we can’t go against genocide, look how much we’re getting paid to shill for it! What’s that, why is our government blatantly run by corporate puppets? Silly you, it’s in the holy writings from the white slaveowners 200+ years ago! This is a very functional society.

      I hope not. Even for the right wingers, surely someone in the establishment is aware he’s in significant mental decline. I figure they’d just run someone else who espouses the same politics but is a bit younger, which shouldn’t be hard to find. I don’t know that they quite have the support they need to change the constitution or fly in violation of the law just yet, but I continue to be surprised by the amount of support they do have.

      how about they get a better prize… Anne Applebaum got a Pulitzer

      The famed “Pulitzer Prize” is named after Joseph Pulitzer, a war-propaganda peddler who helped the US acquire its first overseas territories in the 1890s:

      The Spanish-American War, what boosters called a “splendid little war,” began in 1898. … President McKinley sent a warship to Cuba as a precaution, but in February 1898 that ship, the USS Maine, blew up in Havana, killing 250 U.S. sailors. The cause of the explosion was unknown — and it would later be revealed to have been an accident — but both Hearst and Pulitzer published a cable from the captain of the battleship to the assistant secretary of the navy, Theodore Roosevelt, informing him that the disaster was no accident. (The cable was later revealed to be a fake.) [1]
