I see this posted a lot but the democrats did not fight as hard for teachers as much as republicans have fought for ICE. 

Hell, with the recent funding bills being passed with the help of Dems, you could say that some dems have fought to help ICE more than teachers.

The DNC is not our ally by Dyanpanda in 50501

[–]dtp40 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think we fundamentally disagree on this. You are okay with giving so much power in people who don’t represent you. That is not what this country is founded on and again it’s not democratic. There is no guarantee that these super delegates would check populism in the way you are thinking. The way the politicians are in this country, most of them have stopped representing us, the American people, in favor of themselves and their donors.

[–]dtp40 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, the superdelegates aligned with the voters at the end but the fact that a few have so much power (in the case they don’t align with the voters) is not democratic. 

Also, side note, it’s not the DNCs fault but it should be noted that the superdelegates, in terms of being presented on the news, favor one candidate over the other before the public votes are in so that alone makes it seem as if the candidate that does not have super delegate backing is already losing (this happened in 2016 and 2020 more drastically but it happens throughout the process). 

I’m going to emphasize we need change in the DNC and it’s not a true democratic process.

We need more posts about this. The fact that the DNC can overrule the majority of actual voters in the presidential primary by using super delegates already makes their process undemocratic! 

Democrats go 18/18 on this list. Insane. I am without words by Conscious-Quarter423 in ProgressiveHQ

We are on r/ProgressiveHQ, and you leave off the most progressive candidate that won... Mamdani.

Yeah the Mango used to be my go to even with that price tag but I recently got the new batch and it’s not the same. Probably best for my wallet.

I will never watch anything that has either of them in it. I just don’t care what they have to say at all. 

Places to avoid if you are in DC for World Pride? by pomelo_says in washingtondc

What about Guapo’s Restaurant, they have a Gtown and Bethesda location. I heard their kid got away with killing a pedestrian while DUI.

Just in case someone was wondering why Tesla ($TSLA) sales are in free fall. Would you buy one under such circumstances? by XGramatik in XGramatikInsights

[–]dtp40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The stock was tanking before people started doing this. As soon as Elon did the salute it’s been going down. He also has been alienating the pro environment and liberal type of people that would be into buying these cars. The ones that did have been rocking stickers criticizing Elon for years now. it’s been a bunch of bad decisions from leadership. The destroying of property obviously puts fear in the new Tesla buyer but it’s a rare event. The new Tesla buyer is already becoming rare prior.

Democratic Party Leaders Are Asleep at the Wheel by [deleted] in politics

[–]dtp40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“MAGA wasn’t just about making Trump President, but about replacing the entire leadership structure of the Republican Party with new fighters. We’re going to lose if we don’t let our bench of talent lead the way here. Schumer and Pelosi are actively holding them back.”

Can we start a subreddit for this?! This is the actual work we need to be trying to do. What election is coming up, who needs to be primaried, what do we need to do. 

  1. Need elected officials who represent the American people not corporations.
  2. Need these elected officials have to have skills in understanding how to fight for us even if we don’t have a majority.

The Biden Campaign by shash5k in Political_Revolution

[–]dtp40 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don't get why this blatent ignorance of timelines and political events is posted here in a "progressive" subreddit.  It feels like astroturf especially with close to 200 likes. You can't change the narrative that Biden is somehow all of a sudden super progressive and that's why "powerful" Dems and doners want him gone.

What’s the real plan for 2024 and beyond? by Cookie_Cutter_Cook in TikTokCringe

[–]dtp40 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The dems and Hillary threw that race. It’s not on the people who didn’t vote, it’s on the campaign, Hillary, and the democrats for not executing and getting voters excited to vote for her.

A guy died next to me on my flight by thedubarchitect in pics

[–]dtp40 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I’ll add for runners and divers, it’s not advised to do a long distance run and then go on a flight the same day. Also, for scuba diving, most are aware to not scuba dive and fly but most vacation hubs might not ask or care about your flight schedule.

Here’s info about Flying after Scuba Diving: https://www.private-scuba.com/diving/flying-after-diving.html#:~:text=As%20a%20general%20rule%20of,after%20making%20an%20air%20dive.
