  • If you look at Alexandria Ocacia Cortez’s primary, when the DNC realized what was happening they tried desperately to undo her primary win. Going so far as to endorse the incumbent Democrat who stayed on the ballot due to a technicality.

    These people are not trustworthy at all.

    Another example would be Biden’s primary win in 2020. The DNC used the pandemic as an excuse to end the primary process early and just declare Biden the winner. And even before that they were heavily pushing Biden on everyone and doing their best to lock Bernie out of just about every poll they conducted, pretending like had no chance even though he was pulling numbers that were equalling, and even surpassing in places, Biden at the time.

    Yeah, none of that shit was planned. His little “Now’s a great time to buy!” message was just his way of making sure the market didn’t continue to spiral downward due to his incompetence with the tariffs. Trump is simply full of bluster and pomp but there’s no actual intelligence behind any of it. He’s a used car salesman trying to sell his broken down policies to the people who voted for him. He’s also trying to sell himself to those billionaires. Hoping for a golden parachute when this gig finally expires.











  • Maybe if we ran an actual fucking liberal for a change.

    Biden actually ran as a liberal and didn’t try to court the Republicans. Even though he’s got a long-term track record of voting for all the things Republicans love. Not to mention he ran basically a Reagan era White House. All the while being called the most liberal president we’ve ever had. Meanwhile Harris ran as a super conservative neoliberal. She embraced the war criminal Dick Cheney and refused to go on record as opposing the war on Gaza. Clinton steamrolled the entire Democratic party to take to nomination by force and then walked around pretending to be nice all the while spitting out conservative talking points.

    The entire Democratic party is a fucking joke. And until progressives decide to shed the Democratic party and run as progressive independents instead we’re going to continue to have this shit show.





  • Let me spell it out for you. Trump has removed our cyber defenses and now he’s defunding FOSS projects like Tor and Let’s Encrypt!…

    Now Trump wouldn’t know a FOSS project from a hole in the ground but do you know who does? What world leader who has an entire cyber attack force on his payroll and wants to remove any barriers in finding dissidents who are probably using Tor to coordinate and hide from them?

    Do the math. If the government funding of these projects is allowed to be removed it’s gonna be a whole new ballgame on the internet and the only ones to reap the benefits are the dictators.
