Fuck everything about James “crypt keeper” Carville

He’s a giant piece of shit, and the orchestrator of the neoliberals movement.

No matter what happens, he always claims it means the party has to move right.

Thanks!

Haven’t been keeping a close eye, but anybody is better than Cuomo

Mamdani has been endorsed by AOC, and seems to be who the rest of the progressives are coalescing around.

Even with ranked choice, Cuomo and Weiner are going to split the neoliberal sex pest vote.

For fucks sake leave Biden alone.

Bringing him up only hurts the Dem party.

It doesn’t matter if Biden is slightly better than trump. There’s no gentleman’s agreement that when Republicans run a shitty candidate the majority of Americans hate, that Dems need to do the same.

Progressive policy is overwhelming popular, and we got a good number of politicians who authentically support those popular positions.

That’s who we need to be talking about. Not running PR for a geriatric that fucked us over and probably bears more personal responsibility for trump being president than anyone else in the country

If Biden’s old ass would have let a fair primary happen, whoever won it would have easily beaten trump. But he put himself over the country, like countless neoliberals have before him.

Quick edit:

Thought this was the first time I’d disagree with the new chair, but bringing up Biden was all the author, Martin doesn’t mention him once:

“In January — speaking to the entire nation at his Inauguration – Donald Trump proclaimed ‘We will measure our success not only by the battles we win, but also by the wars that we end, and perhaps most importantly, the wars we never get into.’

Today, against his own words, the president sent bombers into Iran.

Americans overwhelmingly do not want to go to war.

Americans do not want to risk the safety of our troops abroad.

Americans do not want a president who bypasses our constitution and pulls us towards war without Congressional approval.

Donald Trump needs to bring his case to Congress immediately.”

Eventually I’ll disagree with Martin on something, but he’s killing it so far. I’m even optimistic enough to see this part:

What’s crazy about this whole thing, is how many people I see insenting this can’t be WW3, solely because there have been multiple events happening that people said could lead to WW3…

Like, think of it as placing straw on the back of a camel.

Eventually you’re going to get to the point where lots of people say another straw will break it. That’s just reality, it can’t hold an infinite amount of straw.

Now imagine how ridiculous you’d be for walking up when the camel can barely stand, and loudly and proudly telling everyone the camel’s back will never break, because people have been saying it would happen for the past hour.

Rather than realizing that some people would guess early to be safe, because guessing late means your break the camels back and are shit out of luck.

trumps going to keep throwing straw till the camels a bloody heap, the man has never shown restraint in his life. It’s a matter of when, not if.

So if it doesn’t happen after this, it doesn’t mean it’ll never happen, just that were even closer than before.

This study explores the relationship between artificial intelligence (AI) and workers’ well-being and health using longitudinal survey data from Germany (2000–2020).

It’s crazy the AI bros will say that this means AI is safe…

But then ask them how much AI has improved since 2020 and without a shred of realization they’ll tell you only an idiot would compare 2020 AI to 2025 AI…

Like, it’s not the study’s fault. It’s the fault of anyone trying to apply it to modern AI.

That’s fine…

I’m not saying you need to be an expert on everything.

I’m just asking you to at least familiarize yourself with things you want to discuss, before making assumptions and defending genocidal religious extremists.

because lots of people view genocide as a serious topic…

Somebody could hypothetically have worked for AIPAC in the past and become a staunch opponent of Israel’s policy

I’d be surprised if you could find a single example…

AIPAC uses bribes as the carrot, then if you go against them, the being up past carrots (bribes) and use the disclosure of them as “the stick”.

Like, do you not understand how state back propaganda works? AIPAC works hand in hand with Israeli intelligence and their administration.

Literally the only reason AIPAC exists is because it’s predessor had to register as a foreign agent, so AIPAC replaced it and immediately bribed the people who decide who has to register as a foreign agent…

For me,

This isn’t a one off specific issue you missed …

You seem completely unaware what AIPAC actually is and what they do…

But still feel the need to weigh in. Why?

Why not spend 15 minutes reading up on AIPAC?

It’s true but I prefer my criticisms without ad hominems

Saying a person spreading Israeli propaganda. Openly worked for an Israeli propaganda organization seems relevant to me…

Like, I think you don’t know what an “ad hominem” is if you believe this is one

You want Republicans to join with Democrats to vote Schumer out of Minority Senate leadership?

I just want to make sure that’s really what you’re saying and this isn’t one of those things where an autocorrect changed the sentence…

Schumer and Jeffries have their position because neoliberals controlled the DNC and thru the victory fund the funding of most state parties.

So going against them on any topic, but especially Israel’s various genocides would cost you your seat, or your whole state their funding

Neoliberals kept a gun firmly planted to the party’s head and dared anyone to think they wouldn’t pull the trigger

But they don’t have the DNC anymore, and with “fight everywhere” essentially doing the opposite of the victory fund.

Schumer and Jeffries don’t have a chance in hell of retaining leadership positions.

For this to make sense, we’d have to leave at some point in between the peaks…

It’s been a forever war for generations at this point.

so it seems a lot like brain damage removes your empathy or makes you a greedy war mongering asshole.

It can be good tho…

It all depends on what gets damaged and what you’re starting off with.

In general the bits at the front by your forehead regulate impulses, so losing that makes you more of an asshole. That’s also where empathy happens.

The first parts by your spine generate those impulses, so damage there could chill someone who’s already an asshole.

It doesn’t take damage tho, with like 15 minutes of training anyone can predict political leanings from a normal brain scan with I er 80% accuracy.

It’s not a permanent difference, the brain can change well into old age.

But as a general rule, the left uses their front brain. The right uses their hind brain.

And our brain is like a muscle. What we use often gets bigger and more active.

The reason was he grifted the grifters.

He frauduantly claimed to have $x donations already, which got him $y from the RNC.

Then he won the primary with just the $y.

If it wasn’t for that, he’d still be in office.

He’s not breaking ranks for this, he’s been standing on the other side of the party line for a while.

It would be newsworthy if Fettermen took any stance popular with a dem voting base at this point.

I’m not sure what you mean…

The chair has absolute power and is accountable to no one.

Before the current DNC chair was elected (just a few months ago) they had been head of the Minnesota state party for about a decade.

That’s a very long political track record to look at, and that’s why the DNC voting members elected him

Are you asking for a summary of the last decade of Minnesota state politics that shows Martin ran fair primaries which resulted in progressive Dems getting majorities?

Hadn’t thought of this before.

The AI summary stops people from going to the website, which means the website the AI used isn’t getting any page views.

On a long enough timeline, it would kill webpages, then the AI has no new info to steal.

I’m really hoping we see some good out of that primary.

But NY state Dems are corrupt as fuck as a state party. They don’t care what NY voters want, it’s a “safe state” so they cram conservatives like Eric Adams or Hillary Clinton thru a sham primary, then fall back to:

Who else ya gonna vote for?!

Mamdani is the only one who seems to want to fight fascism

Cuomo doesn’t give a shit about that, he just wants more women to sexual abuse and more money to grift.

We need to start taking a hard-line against any politician taking AIPAC money

We’re on our third presidential term in a row where the president prefers Israel to America, and a shit ton of Congress does to

If someone takes AIPAC money, I can’t vote for them anymore.

The lesson to learn is if we run uncharismatic candidates who are substantially further to the right than the Dems voter base, and the most thought the candidate gives the voting base is:

They have to vote for me. Who else are the left gonna vote for?

Its fucking “no one”, and it’s been that same answer for a long time.

We have a fair DNC now that won’t try to shove a conservative down America’s throats. So we have a chance to win.

But if we run a conservative as a Dem, Republicans win.

It’s really fucking tiring to see those conservatives blame trans people for the lose. That had nothing to do with it. It might be the final straw for some people, but there was a shit ton of reasons people couldn’t hold their nose this time.
