Smooth Gentleman Politics

Former news and political journalist. Social Democrat. I have many thoughts about what I learned covering politics, especially about my fellow people on the left. Bigots and genocide apologists are blocked on sight. #SocDems
Where are all those who claimed to be leftists who defended Tulsi for years? She was always an opportunist with bigotry in her closet. Now she's proving to be wildly incompetent.

Because he is always incoherent and is participating in chronism due to Tesla's stock tanking.

Is a detailed over analysis needed? He's always favored Putin, the question is why? He lied during his campaign regarding supporting Ukraine, it really doesn't go further than him favoring despots in Israel and Russia.

www.politico.com/newsletters/... Takes like this from Third Way is an example of big donors and think tanks ignoring polls and what people want.

I'm scared for the future if that's the message to go up against far right nationalists again.

Are we doing enough? Half of the left didn't even mention the genocide in Palestine until Trump made awful remarks.

There are protests, but I don't see mobilization to get people in office that will address the issues that got us here.

Pete is another Conservative-Liberal shill with a lot of baggage with melanated communities from his time as Mayor. All he does is critique Trump, that's a low bar.

Sanders critiques Trump and has a far different platform which addresses middle and working class issues.

Did Musk not tell him about his K habits or that he smoked weed on camera?

I'll be honest, Conservative-Liberal Super PAC Dems are holding that legacy up and fight to push down anyone on the left who wants to rebuke the dark money.

But, yes Reagan's nonsense was awful for the working and middle class. He started the gigantic leaps in the wage gap.

However, they always make calls for violent direct action, yet those pounding their chests online never are the ones that go through with it.

Their words are hallow, they don't even back their own rhetoric while screaming at others.

It's sad, showing the most ignorant are often the most confident.

These people want to feel some sort of control so they attack anyone disagreeing with them as a Conservative-Liberal (or 'shit lib' as they so eloquently state).

Politics aren't a sport, nor should those claiming to want change be closed to discussion on how that change should happen.
