to make a serious push to take over the party

No theres not. This is the effect of the lemmy echo chamber. America is A LOT more conservative than ppl here like to admit. The actual left of the Democratic party are ppl like Bernie and AOC and they're definitely not celebrated inside the DNC

too interested in bickering amongst ourselves

That's because three Democratic party is a coalition of liberals and conservatives

Jesus christ maybe give them some credit for acknowledging they didn't know? It's not the like news was too keen on stories highlighting the positive notes of his administration.

She's also brown, a liberal, and from New York. Even if she had the cure for cancer White America would rather crucify themselves than let her become president.

Sounds about white

As an American living in Germany I find it hilarious how Germans complain about the smallest cost of their prescriptions. I got some basic blood work done before my insurance kicked in and the doctor was going over the cost like I was going to flip my shit hearing it. I told him I was American and laughed. €25 for blood work and zero cost for just speaking to you? Sign me the fuck up. I paid $100 for a consultation about sinus infection that lasted 5 minutes at a general practice i Washington DC. You don't scare me!

Nothing I hate more than ppl claiming there are "good" billionaires. A good billionaire would spend all their money lobbying congress to stop billionaires from being a thing in general

general reluctance of consumers to open their wallets due to higher interest rates and lingering inflation.

Article also mentions ppl dont have the money to eat at restaurants. Ppl probably are drinking at home with alcohol bought at corned stores

Fuck you got mine is the principle of this entire country since it's birth

I’m not from your world. I’m a young man who made it out of the project of Brooklyn. We don’t play these types of games. We have very strict codes and honor. We protect children.”

Regardless of whether he's guilty or innocent gangsters definitely don't have a code of honor. Cats will turn pregnant women into crack fiends or heroin addicts and if a child gets caught in a cross fire I guaranfuckingtee no one is turning themselves in to the police.

Also Jay-Z is a multi-millionaire/billionaire. He does fuck all for the Marcy projects besides minor bullshit (Fucking bitcoin classes in the projects? Really?) that are pennies compared to if his hoe ass actually paid his taxes.

You misspelled century

We as a country have definitely lost our "the man is trying to keep me down" mentality and have bought into this "we want to welcome you to the club" bullshit the Right has been pushing for years

When was this because white America had ZERO issue with the man keeping down everyone who wasn't a WASP.

They'll get nothing. Malcolm X is still considered the Black version of a Klansmann as far as white America is concerned. The US government will never admit any wrong doing even if Malcolm X rose from the grave and called them out. They'd just kill him again if he did

I think we should really stop blaming Russian propaganda and focus on blaming ourselves. There's too large a portion of the US population who lap up easily refuted news and opinions. Russia didn't make Americans stupid we did. Russia didn't divide America, its been divided since its creation.

and would be much easier to remove them from existence.

Phrasing

Punk ass is scared his companies are next on her hit list. Get em!

Should've been speaking out against all the Republicans before Trump. Republicans like to act like Trump happened in a vacuum. All he is is just the human form of the Republican platform for the past 60 years saying the quiet parts out loud

For reference, when Francis was born in 1909, many Black people in the United States could not vote, only gaining full enfranchisement in the Voting Rights Act of 1965, when Francis would have been 56.

That's says a lot

I lost respect for the NYT after their How Hamas weaponized sexual violence story turned out to be a much of hearsay featuring a writer who liked a post calling Palestinians human animals

You're being downvoted but you're not wrong. While a Trump presidency has dark implications it happening due to foreign interference would be no different than the coups, assassinations, and implanted dictatorships America has done in other countries for decades. Trumps whole immigrant fear mongering doesn't happen if the US government had helped the countries they fucked up in Central and South America.

I think it's important to remember this
