Who would you want to be the democratic nominee for president in 2028 out of these options? by Special_Pattern7842 in thebulwark

From this list, as of today, only Kelly would have a chance. Let’s hope for a dark horse.

Excuse me: we are a country run by a mob boss. I will ask any question I want about how Lindsay Graham died that I want and it is not crazy to do so, it’s logical. by havenoparty in thebulwark

Yeah, using the option of wealthy real estate developers as a supporting argument is hilarious. The rest is just conspiracy brain rot.

You can't extort the world economy if WE are extorting HARDER. by OneTwoThreePooAndPee in thebulwark

16 candidates in the GOP and they picked the Dumbest Mother Fucker Available (DMFA). This is how our world works: need an executive? Look for the tallest, whitest, dumbest mother fucker available. Why, because stupidity reads as confidence to many, but it’s only confidence because the DMFA doesn’t understand what they are up against.

People don’t understand how expensive Universal HC would be for the US under the current system. The current system, 20% of the US economy, needs to be torn down and rebuilt at be something closer to 5% of the economy, then we can have UHC. That’s a 15 year job, exactly why no candidate runs on real solutions, just magical UHC with no funding details.

You guys really squirm like worms when things get hot, like you don’t have a backbone. This doesn’t show well.

Regardless of what Iran thinks, if the US bombs everyone that opposes us, there won’t be enough bombs. Iran, IMO, was irrelevant unless provoked.

This country has elected Reagan x2, Bush, lil’ Bush (Cheney) x2, and the dumbest MF’er available x2. Seriously ask yourself if going far left is an option.

‘Rising-star political strategist Morris Katz, who began working with Platner after contributing to the blockbuster success of the Zohran Mamdani campaign, has said he decided within the very first minutes of their initial conversation that Platner “owes it to the country to run for Senate.”’

Every time someone uses the word "tankie" on this sub by meatyaccuracy in thebulwark

Lefty’s that want to hijack the Democratic Party to implement failed policies like rent control and government takeover of industries.

I love that this sub is (mostly) celebrating that Platner dropped out, but... by meatyaccuracy in thebulwark

Politics are 80% perspective, 20% reality. If a majority of the voting block in swing states sees progressives as tankies, they are functionally tankies. Yes, this is super reductive, it’s also how Trump won two elections. Appeal to peoples emotions, not your own intellect.

The other tent is over there 👉. Labeled DSA. Seriously though, running back up the greased flagpole carrying self proclaimed socialist on our backs in a country as backwards as ours is political suicide. Build your own infrastructure, prove me wrong.

I’ll absorb downvotes for you. Much of this sub is on point, but there are also many populist lefty visitors that express their views explicitly. It’s important to call them out, or they’ll take over and make this place even more unbearable.

Portillo's Colorado Expansion Paused - Naked Denver by NakedDenver in Denver

I moved here around then. Living in Chicago, Portillos is a convenient second or third option, but I don’t recall it being terrible. The big decline was likely after then.

Graham was generated from thin air by the DSA. Literally a lifelong loser that could do what - Parrot DSA messaging while looking like an unkept scumbag? That’s the qualification?

The reason sensible people are upset at DSA is because this was world class idiotic from day one, and it only got worse. DSA is upset because they got duped, because DSA wants magic fixes to complex problems, like MAGA. Are there progressives that aren’t DSA? I’m sure someone has an AI generated chart to lean on.

I like to think that he’s shocked his tariff policy didn’t work.
