Well sounds like the Democratic leadership to aggressively court disgruntled voters and listening and addressing their concerns is off to a great start with this.

The DNC is controlled opposition and the fact that centrists are in denial about it puts all of us in great peril.

People love blaming the Jews. The National Association of Realtors spent more than the AIPAC last cycle.

That has been the position of nearly every US politician in both parties for the last 40 years. He also calls for a real ceasefire and a two party state, recognizing Palestine has just as much right to statehood as Israel.
Meanwhile when Trump was asked if it’s his job to uphold the Constitution, he said " I don’t know".

When you’ve got one side that mostly follows the rules and one side that mostly cheats, the side that cheats will usually win.

Most of the Dems aren’t really trying to follow rules or not tho. They’re just kinda sitting there watching it all happen.

Realistically what do they have the power to do that they aren’t doing? Republicans have control of the House, Senate, Judiciary and 27 state governorships.

Off the top of my head: Not support the funding of the Gestapo. That would be an excellent place to start.

Okay, let’s say they stand their ground and say “zero DHS funding”. They don’t have the votes to stop it and it gets funded anyway, right?
BUT, if they can negotiate to give something to peel off a few Republican votes in exchange for things like investigations into the killings of Good and Pretti, body cams on ICE, and no face masks for ICE? Isn’t that better than nothing?
Disagree all you want about it tactically, but at least you recognize the logic, right?
