He’s deputy of the year because everyone else in the department is even worse.

The same people who call Rittenhouse a hero apply a different standard here.

Everything’s on a cob.

So he’s Democrats’ 2028 nominee, then?

Stop belittling opposition to genocide just because you are incapable of loving anything else.

Reminder that we live in a notably bigoted nation that has problems with women and people of color in positions of authority.

Prediction that you’ll forget this when Harris runs again.

Party leadership would rather everyone live under fascism than do either.

AT LEAST GAZA IS SAVED THOUGH :)

At least democrats didn’t have to abandon unconditional genocide support. At least they didn’t have to follow the Leahy law. They’ll make up every excuse under the sun to block progressive legislation, but straight up ignore the law to sell weapons for genocide.

Centrists do that when they know they have lost an argument. Dismissal and condescension.

Almost as much as protests voters helped Trump do all this.

Gee, if only there were some way democrats could have got those voters back on board. But they were too insignificant to matter until centrists needed someone to blame for the results of their unwillingness to represent people not named cheney or netanyahu.

When the electorate is polarized, you win by energizing your base to get more people to the polls. Abandoning your base one vulnerable group at a time not only fails to curry favor with the fascists that centrists desperately want to befriend, it also depresses turnout from your base as well. But since centrists like moving to the right and don’t want to stop, they treat their positions as sacrosanct and it is the voters who must capitulate. After all, our politicians capitulate by example so frequently.

If they were too insignificant to listen to, you don’t get to blame them. If they are significant enough to blame, they’re kingmakers and you should have been listening to them.
