That's just a No True Scotsman. "The subset of democrats who vote in line with Republicans, thus making all other democrats' resistance moot, are simply not real democrats"
The democrats are refusing to employ any of the government-breaking strategies the republicans just proved, over years as a minority party, can bring the government to crawl. Worse than that, they are enabling everything the republicans are doing. They aren't even putting up a fight. They'd rather be "civil" and "the adults in the room" than actually stop fascism. They are controlled opposition.
I really love the burro. I hope to have some land one day in which I could make an expansive pasture for burro and friends. Seems like they love to be your friend.
If Costco believed that a move such as the one in the headline was a common sense, good for business strategy, then why did they draw it out over months and months of grueling union negotiations, probably spending untold millions on lawyers?
The union strong armed Costco into making this decision - as they should.
"Costco is still shorting their workers because nonunion workers lack the retirement security of a defined benefit pension plan and the job protections that come with a union contract," McQuaid said in an email.
Companies are not things to love. The progress we see in this headline was because of the hard work of unions - NOT the goodness in Costco's heartbeat
So you're saying that democrats focused on catering to centrists for 2025, lost spectacularly, and the new strategy needs to be.... catering to centrists?
The DNC needs to hire you. Something something, the definition of insanity is....
What are you on about? Democrats, in one of the most embarrassing defeats in recent history, literally just made it clear to the world that they would rather lose than cater to leftists. Biden decided that carrying out genocide in Gaza was more important than defeating Trump.
This is not leftism. What you're proposing is just a shiny new liberal party. This hypothetical new party would be subject to the same mechanisms and forces that corrupted the democratic party. Give it 50 years, and we are back at square one: capital will swallow any agency that your proposed party once exhibited.
Decrying actual leftists for not participating in american electoralism that is wholley orchestrated by capital is going to fall on deaf ears. Leftists have no interest in creating a new capitalist party and subsequently refining capitalism.
Sometimes it is mind blowing to enter the liberal headspace where the definition of fascism is based on how the subject arrived at the fascist conclusion, and how the test of fascism is how they outwardly express it. It's all just vibes. Hitler should've just explained how he was "fooled", and he'd be a-ok in your book.
And this idea of liberals always selling out socialists and minorities as a first thing will still be lost on you.
Weren't you the one who was telling me a couple months ago that Arab Americans in Dearborn who refused to vote for Biden because of Gaza were fascists?
Congrats to all the "democrats can do no wrong, so please ignore Biden's ongoing genocide" who seriously thought they could get Arab Americans in Dearborn to vote for a man carrying out genocide against their brothers and sisters.
Sure... definitely NOTHING wrong with the democratic strategy. All of our problems are because people simply didn't vote correctly.
