🇺🇸 Discussion: The DEMOCRATIC P - Part 3

US News
This is what happens when Democrats are a spectrum of ideologies vs the monolith that Republicans are.
What you are saying is a point well taken. That being said, I think that monolith may be a weak point and shrinking. I have a much longer thesis on how the debate may, and needs to, shift to the left, but it has to be grounded in some fundamental principles. There are a few in the democratic party who truly believe in equal access to education, opportunity, political rights, etc. Most don't, and those who do are frowned upon by the establishment, but when compared to what is essentially the monolith (like that word) of the GOP, there may be some potential for political change. I'm not particularly sanguine about the possibility, but it exists.
 
The Democratic party can never veer left as long as it only experiences pressure from its right parts.

The relatively left voter base will largely support anything as long as its the lesser of two evils, whereas the donor base always has exacting standards and is ready to abandon ship at any moment of its demands are not met and met in full.

The Gaza genocide is a good example. Netanyahu is using American weapons to exterminate 2 million people. Most of the voter base deplores it but will support Biden regardless, as he's the lesser of two evils. The donors are saying "help the genocide, or we destroy your careers", so they win.

Which is too bad, because without a drastic shift to the left (the real left), America's decline will accelerate.

Don't know how much good she'll be able to do in a place like Texas, but good for Lauren Ashley Simmons.
 
Manchin is seen whining here, but let's be clear about the record.

He was basically President for several months. Biden's proposed Build Back Better was a very good piece of legislation. Every single part of it that Manchin didn't like was gone, and every single part that Manchin liked was passed as the so-called "Inflation reduction act".

We went from a piece of legislation that would have meaningfully helped a lot of working peoples lives to a package of subsidies meant to appease Manchin 's oligarch friends.
 
It's that goddamn Biden pulling the strings at the DoJ again.....I just don't understand why he's also going after his own son. Next thing you know, they'll coming after YOU! :o

The DoJ is going after Hunter Biden on minor crimes to give him immunity for his major crimes.

One of the deals Biden was offered was in fact just that, if he pleads guilty to a minor offense he'd get immunity for everything else. The judge rejected it as they saw it as as problematic.
 
They should have thought about that 20-30 years ago when repubs were doing it.
