with Van Jones on a wide range of issues. But let’s give him credit here. The Democrat party has become infested with hard Left parasitic freeloaders, whose STATED aim is to sponge off Democrats in order to gain access to the electoral process. These people don’t even LIKE Democrats, and certainly don’t identify with them!
And Jones is having none of it. And he is willing to call a ball a ball and a strike a strike. I can respect a person who stands up for his beliefs, even if I disagree with him! Here is Jones saying, “What the heck?!”
I'm tired of being told that, to be a progressive, I now must swear allegiance to crazy ideas.
I'm a strong Democrat, with a winning bipartisan track record. I'm rooted in progressive ideals and policies: criminal justice reform, Green New Deal, Medicare for All, free education,… pic.twitter.com/foPRXip7fb
But I think that unless Democrats take a very public stand against these evil creeps, they will lose every normal and moral person in the electorate. I know it’s hard, and there is some short-term pain for them if they take a stand. But in the long term it is the ONLY way they survive.
Democrats. But to be honest, I hope they keep him. Because I think he is not a very good candidate, and he is certainly weaker than what would replace him. But, of course, they won’t keep him . The Democrats are well known for swapping candidates at the last second because they are starting to look like they will lose (see: Joe Biden and Kamala Harris).
It probably won’t be long before Graham Platner drops out, and the left has settled on a shiny new narrative about him. It goes something like this: Poor, unsuspecting Democrats had no earthly idea who this guy was, and gosh darn it, somebody forgot to vet him. That’s the fairy tale they’re spinning now that Platner’s Senate campaign is circling the drain, and we can’t let them get away with it.
… His conclusion left nothing standing: “They knew it, and they signed up for it, and I don’t know why they’re backing away from this scumbag today when they had already signed off on all that other crazy behavior.”
… The problem isn’t that Democrats didn’t vet Platner; it’s that they did.
Yeah, Democrats didn’t give a rat’s patoot that this guy was a known scumbag until the polls started saying he was losing. They simply had no problem running a scumbag, because he was their scumbag!
I’ve been very clear that sexual assault or violence against women is a red line. These allegations are very serious and credible. Graham Platner should drop out from the race. I am withdrawing my endorsement.
“These allegations are horrifying and describe, in clear and graphic detail, something no woman should be forced to experience,” RNC Spokesperson Kristen Cianci said in a statement. “The more layers of Graham Platner’s past emerge, the more irrefutable his pattern of violent, disgusting behavior becomes.”
… Democrats found their conscience at the exact moment they lost their confidence in Platner’s viability. They can live with a Nazi and a depraved creep, but the one thing the Democrat Party will never forgive is a candidate who might lose.
again deal with Mills? It kinda looks like she is making a run. Like a horserace where the horse in last place suddenly starts gaining on the horse in front. In most ways I hope that Platner stays in the race and wins the nomination. I think he is a significant and very public embarrassment to the Democrats, and that he is much more likely to lose. Mills is much more of a conventional candidate, I think she actually has a better shot. So yeah, I hope she stays out of the race.
Further, there are several national Democrats from around the country who have endorsed Platner. And it would be a very big embarrassment for them to have him go down in flames over his moral failings. Already, many national Democrats are trying to back away from him and hedge their bets.
The disparaging names, the irrational, leg-kicking, the breath-holding, the diaper-filling Lefty tantrums all neither change nor end. They just shift to new “enemies.” But they already turned their spittle-lipped freakout up to a 10 with Trump. I don’t think there is an 11. It’s a path of naturally diminishing returns.
In the (paraphrased) words of a great philosopher, if everybody is Hitler, then nobody is… (Syndrome)
This HUGE! Maybe you can cheat the lawman, but now you need to worry about everyone else, too! Who is just biding their time. waiting to collect the “bounty on your head” to fund their retirement?

surprise that Cuba is freaking out about what happened to Maduro! Even if they weren’t worrying about the same thing would happen to them (and they certainly are), the main source of their oil and protection (of the government) is gone.
“He [Maduro] was not guarded by Venezuelan bodyguards. He had Cuban bodyguards,” he said. “In terms of their internal intelligence, who spies on who inside to make sure there are no traitors — those are all Cubans.”

But it is clear that this would be a really huge problem for Democrats. It would pretty much destroy their entire strategy.
When asked about supporting a Republican proposal to bypass the 60-vote threshold in the Senate and allow a simple-majority vote to pass the House’s funding measure, Fetterman responded positively to the idea. “Carve it out for that, absolutely,” he said, referring to a temporary filibuster carve-out.
… He criticized Democrats who have shifted their stance on the filibuster, adding, “I don’t want to hear any Democrat clutching their pearls about the filibuster. We all ran on it.”
Democrats are hoppin’ mad! As well they should be!
I think it is very likely that the “D-lister“ Democrats get very angry and run against the Democrat establishment. We’ve already seen significant anger against a traditional Democrat as prominent as Chuck Schumer! And I really don’t think that this is the last we will see of such things.
FIVE: Which Democrat will be the first to recognize the political benefit of holding the party accountable? The Democratic D-Listers have already begun to blast the Democratic Party for their deception: Wannabes like Beto O’Rourke and CNN talking head Van Jones have demanded accountability, but for this to become a full-blown Democratic civil war, we’ll need someone higher up on the food chain.
There are some very significant questions to be answered here. And I don’t think that establishment Democrats can avoid them forever.
