The Democrats never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.
The Democrats never miss an opportunity to show fealty to Israel
You can get AIPAC money or my vote but never both.
You can represent your own citizens or you can represent the interests of a foreign nation.
I’m still not sure how swearing fealty to another country isn’t political suicide.
- Decades of Israel and their lobbyists screaming antisemitism any time someone was critical of Israel
- “Christian’s” groomed by The Heritage Foundation with a hardon for the kicking off armageddon as laid out in the book of revelations from their bible
The Epstein class includes Democrats
Well, slap my ass and call me Sally, I swear I was just reading about how the DNC has been reformed and now it’s no longer the same worthless sell-out bunch of triangulating weasels it used to be.
@someguy3@lemmy.world how are you gonna explain this one away?
Probably by blaming the voters or punching left
GAARGH WHY DO YOU LOVE TRUMP SO MUCH!?!??!!ONE?!
These motherfuckers see reports about how the Iran debacle is tanking Republican support, and they panic like “oh shit, how can we make sure to lose anyway??”
It’s all intentional right? It has to be
What would they do without Republicans? How would they fundraise?
Why would they need to fundraise so much of they actually had policies that help people?
Because they aren’t motivated by doing work for the people, they’re motivated by the privileges of wealth and power.
DNC is full of AIPAC shills and simps.
They’re gonna lose then.
The party leaders don’t care, as long as they maintain their proximity to wealth and power.
Dems who support Israel don’t have my support. That said, our system is so f’d I’d rather vote for supporters of genocide than supporters of pedophiles.
Well, it’s not an either or situation. It’s support the party of genocide, or the party of genocide and paedophilia. Easy choice. Even if it’s distasteful.
That’s true too.
Dog stays on leash, news at 11:00.
How can one party be that stupid?
They’re just doing what they’re paid to do. Your mistake is assuming they work for the people, just because their official job title says they do.
99% of politicians work for their donors. That’s where enough money to actually campaign comes from. That may match what the people want/need, or it may not.
The depressing part is how little money that actually comes down to per politician. You want to assume it’s millions, but it’s not for most of them. For most it’s under 50k per year to buy their votes.
This isn’t specific to one party or the other. This is universal across US politics.
It’s their job.
They’re not a party. They’re a marketing company
All the blue no matter who simps prominently absent from this thread…
It’s almost like they care more about their donors than the voters they allegedly represent.
THIS is why tippingpoints matter:
Once one is owned, then one cannot undo being owned.
Northern Mexico, being owned by the drug-cartels, is another, different-domain, example: they didn’t prevent being ruled, & now they cannot undo being owned.
It’s actually a fundamental principle: symbiosis turning into reverse-takeover always costs one the owning of one’s self.
Country, political-party, business, not-for-profit, community, charity, language, culture, it holds consistently.

Once someone gets some hooks into you, your only choice is to rip that hook out.
If it’s a small hook, you might be able to recover your political career. if it’s just a few small hooks, maybe a medium sized hook, you might not go to jail.
but AIPAC is using anal hooks from hell. they started with the small ones, and they’ve been getting progressivley bigger and more numerous, and now… well. I’m not into that.
DINOs.
Nah, the DINOs are the good Democrats. They’re the party outsiders trying to realign the party. The real Democrats are these AIPAC shills. This is the true nature of the DNC as it stands and has stood for a long time.
Democrats have always been a center-right party with a few outliers like Bernie, Sawant, and AOC.
