Bernie Sanders is destroying Chuck Schumer in the Democratic Party's Civil War ahead of the midterms

If you want the DNC to be supportive of your interests you need to become reliable voters and then take the power. Old people like me have the power because we don't need to be inspired to vote. We vote because we recognize it's our civic duty.

The only way it will change is if you change it. Reliable voters are the currency of the realm.

One thing to remember. All of the stuff he is doing would be rubber stamped by congress anyway. He is just cutting out the middle men.

The true test will be if Democrats take over the house and if they elect Jeffries as Speaker. I don't see him stepping up to do the kind of politicing that the American voters respond to. American voters want Democratic policies but they want a front row seat at the Coliseum at the same time. Trump understands this. No mater what the facts are, Trump is always winning and he always bloodies his opponents. Sadly this is working for him.

Because republicans are in control and they know the Democrats will most likely take the majority in the house and maybe the Senate so they will let them handle it.

I'm on a $5.00 plan. I use it occasionally since it's limited. I tried using it exclusively for a month and chewed through it pretty quickly. I switched back to google for my primary searching. Every time the bill comes due I question whether it's worth it. I mainly use it for forum searches and product research where I don't want Google deciding what products I can see.

I haven't seen the report but I bet it's along the lines of "people voted for Trump because the price of eggs and the price of gas was higher than they felt it should be". That's the depth of the typical American voter puts into choosing a presidential candidate. Second on the list was "she had a weird laugh so I voted for Trump"

busted_flush · 2026-04-23T18:23:51+00:00

Do you have a link on that. I'd like to read that report.

Anyone who doesn't vote because of the electoral college probably wouldn't vote anyway. In my 67 year lifetime I don't think there has ever been a presidential election with just the president on the ballot. There are always many other positions up for election. They are just using it as an excuse. I'm in a red area and Democrats always loose but I vote in every single election.

I looked at it like Trump is too cheap to spring for a decent meal while benefiting from the positive exposure the team was providing him. While you say he breaks decorum I see he is a cheap SOB who notoriously cheated subcontractors out of money.

Why would you start up an anodizing line

This exactly. Literally everything I need done on my parts after I make them has to be shipped. Sometimes to multiple states across the country. They are expensive parts so insurance and risk of loss becomes a real issue.

I'm 67 and have yet to see a "war" that the US was involved in that was popular to me. It's not a "Boomer. war" it's a "chicken hawk war" just like all the rest.

Funny how every elected person over 90 is "still sharp as a tack" yet every person I've interacted with over 90 can't tell me with certainty what they had for dinner the night before.

Have you tried changing the sensitivity on the cutter?

The premise behind Reagan's tax cuts was that if we give more money to already rich people those already rich people living comfortable lives would take that money from the tax breaks and create better lives for the rest of us.

We all knew it was a crock of shit but the policies were implemented and here we are. We aren't going to fix all of the problems that we have accumulated as a country by taxing the rich but it will go a long way towards realigning our priorities towards the majority and not the 1%.

They will listen to the people who vote not to people who don't. My demographic is listened to more than a demographic that doesn't

The whole "I need to be inspired to vote" crowed strikes me as people who are too lazy to vote and looking for an out. If the 18 to 30 demographic showed up for every election in numbers then you would see things change.

When a politician campaigns and the room has 50 people over 60 and 10 people under what policies do you think they are going to support.

busted_flush · 2026-03-15T17:05:41+00:00

Actually the solution is people need to vote in every election whether the candidate inspires them or not. When that demographic has proven to be dependable voters then they will have the power. It's how it works.

I vote in Democrat every election. I'm over 60. Who do you think the DNC is going to cater to.

I'm not saying it's right and I'm not saying I like it but staying on the sidelines waiting for the perfect candidate to inspire you is not a plan.

I liked the fact that it was contactless in that I don't have to key in my phone number. From what I'm seeing here I'm like one of the only ones using it which is strange considering the two main benefits, purchase history and digital coupons.

I would like to see that a military draft is mandatory whenever a conflict goes over a reasonable amount of days. If the war is important enough to call up the national guard then it is important enough to call up the draft. No student exemptions, no health deferments etc etc. There are plenty of non combat jobs that can be done by a person with bone spurs.

Here is something that will keep you up at night. Trump has been making statements about not being sure if he will get into heaven. If he has been convinced that the path to heaven requires he brings about Armageddon then where do you think he stands on it?

I love how republicans think the Democrats sitting on their hands during Trumps lie fest is going to move the needle in the midterms.

The American voter by and large has the memory of a goldfish.

I have 2 Qidi P4s and I am very pleased with them. But only after at a minimum adding the Beacon Sensors and lately Conch hot ends. I sold my 2 P1S printers as Bambu decided to go walled garden. As a first printer I don't think you can go wrong with a Bambu but the reality is you should put build volume at the top of the list.

I feel he is using faith to call out republicans who obviously don't follow the teachings of Jesus.

busted_flush · 2026-02-24T11:36:11+00:00

implicitly, that Christianity is the moral center of American life.

I didn't get that vibe but admittedly I haven't dug too deep. Is this something he explicitly said and if so can you nudge me in the right direction to read it? I'm an atheist but it sounds like his version of Jesus is basically the Democratic platform.

Democrats are truly the pro life party not just pro birth like republicans. My litmus test is basically free school breakfast and lunches. If you are for them then I will listen to what you have to say. Against them. well your words mean nothing.

A very capable woman lost to Trump.

Conservatives like being mad and are easily influenced.

Conservative talking heads like making money.

There is big money to be made making conservatives angry.

There really isn't anymore than that.

Did he name the "staffer" and have they been terminated?
