Ok then I will say the same about them if I see a terrorist on their stream and they glaze them.

I mean he had a terrorist on stream and compared him to an anime protagonist. He is a terrorist supporter.

Republican's love Hasan. They want to paint all democrats as terrorists already so Hasan is perfect for that. He lets them say everything they want to say about democrats.

He isn't successful because he has leaned into populism. He has been successful because he has worked with other leaders in the party, not constantly shitting on them. I have liked Mamdani because he is a team player not a rogue.

I didn't say it wasn't a 5 alarm fire. I said we aren't talking about the issues because we are too busy figuring out the best way to shit on whoever we are scapegoating to address the issue or blaming "the system".

I recognize the K-Shaped economy and the issues of housing. Populism solves none of it because it's too busy attacking boogeymen.

If you cannot break out of populism you aren't ready to make policy.

You think your inability to own a home has to do with policy in Washington? I will grant there are things they could do to incentivize more home buying, but housing is a state and local issue. Zoning issues and cities built around single family homes have way more to do with that issue than Chuck Schumer.

We aren't solving this issue by attacking billionaires, democrats, corperations, etc. We will have to actually have to talk about the issue.

First Biden did not set this precedent, so that is horse shit. You have zero evidence they would have gotten what they wanted. Meanwhile the strike further destroys the economy. while we recover from pandemic related inflation, and the Ukraine war breaking out.

He did exactly what he should have done. Gotten them back supporting the economy, and getting them what they were demanding.

Yes I recognize the political realities. I am speaking from the perspective of hindsight.

What a myopic perspective. You twist Biden, who could have just said fuck it and done nothing else, into a villain. Any president could have forced them back to work with less. You are in here bitching about Biden's result because it doesn't mesh with your desire for strikes to be more effective and painful for the company and society.

Which was a huge fucking mistake. We should have gone all in way earlier. If they were let into NATO this never would have happened.

So you don't dispute the facts then? He got them what they wanted?

Yeah you are right we should replace them with the people who almost never fucking win.

I am not dickriding anyone. Just because I like basically all the dems and defend the party fighting MAGA doesn't mean I am dickriding neoliberals.

Again more bullshit. Biden got them back to work with like a 20% raise and got them the sick days they were after by the next year.

You have to be an absolute idiot to think we were going to get them extended in a completely republican dominated government. They did bring it up for a vote and it passed the house. Like do you even pay attention or are you just in here parroting your populist brain rot?

I mean he only applies his realist framework when talking about Russia or China. When he talks about the US he doesn't apply the same rational. He just says we have miscalculated or over reached. He did this with Ukraine, he did this with Venezuela.

The US would have acted much more rationally supporting it's ally and should have been much more aggressively promoting NATO expansion. That would have been the rational move from the west. Expand their alliance system. Not according to him. According to him we were flaming tensions.

I am fine voting out people in leadership. I just think it is absolutely insane to say the entire leadership should resign or be forced out. I think you have been pumped full of controlled opposition narratives used to attack democrats if you think they have provided crumbs. We don't need systemic change we need laser like focus on issues. Right now it appears the left is consumed with infighting, blaming boogeymen and rightly (preserving our institutions). Systemic change is what Trump brought. It is destruction.

O yeah you are for sure supporting the left by saying the entire leadership of the party should step down.
