  • There is no point appealing to the Democratic party establishment in my view, but building a movement via the DSA to essentially take over the Democratic party seems like a decent strategy (the USA having the terrible voting system that is has)

    That’s basically how MAGA took over the Republican Party, first building momentum from Gingrich’s Contract with America through the Tea Party, and finally to MAGA.

    I have no doubt that if the Progressives were able to grab the kind of power in the Democratic Party that MAGA has in the Republican Party, there might be motion toward the same sort of crazy extremism, but at this point, I’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.

    Right now, there is literally the future if humanity at stake. These Sociopathic Oligarchs WILL enslave all of humankind, if they possibly can, and they are actively pursuing that agenda, as we all see every day.

    So I’ll worry about leftist over-regulation when it becomes a problem, if it means avoiding Stephen 'PeeWee Himmler" Miller’s Leftist Prisoner Chain Gang of online loudmouths, replacing deported minority farm workers.

    He was several feet away, he wasn’t anywhere near her, it was a trick of perspective. You are judging and dismissing a good man’s entire career and life based on a trick photograph.

    The joke was a bad one, but it should be remembered that he was on a USO Show touring foreign bases in war zones, and those shows, going back to the 40’s, were always ribald comedy, featuring bombshell female celebrities, when they could get them, (Marilyn Monroe for one), and Playboy Playmates (often) when they couldn’t. That was her role. The general vibe of the show was risque humor, and that’s going to be the vibe backstage as well. She admitted that she gave as good as she got on that tour.

    It happened years before he was a political candidate, and she was perfectly fine with it for many years, until she became a regular on Hannity’s show, and a MAGA operative. So she found this photo in her scrapbook, and exposed it. Later when it literally destroyed him, she publicly admitted that she never meant it to go that far, and regretted it.

    Franken would have taken on Trump for president in 2020, and can you imagine what those debates would have been like? But Schmuck couldn’t have a progressive getting too froggy, so he did was he does best, and destroyed the career of another good Democrat.

    And you went along with it, and still are. Stop doing MAGA’s work for them.
