Wait for the corrupt neoliberal stooge wing of the Democratic Party try to take Crockett down like they are now trying to take down Mahmdani and Platner. The stooges are truly elephants in donkey suits.

He doesn't know what he doesn't want to know.

And what he doesn't want to know is how a real government takes care of a nation and its people instead of helping a small wealthy ruling class destroy both.

EdinColorado @edincolorado.bsky.social · 7h

It is obvious why the partisan neoliberal stooge wing is as desperate to take down Platner just as their arch-duchess Wasserman Schultz rigged the primary to cancel Sanders and gave us Trump 1. I hope the party rank & file isn't fooled to do same-old-same-old and get us a reign of Trumps.

Three components are in the scores of Mothership Vortex spam we get regularly from the Democratic party trying to extract money to promote people that we oppose holding office. How can we voters turn off these disrespectful floods of nuisance spamming?

What are they thinking? They are thinking they want to serve a wealthy ruling class at the expense of taking care of the nation and its people. They are happy to throw you and your democracy under a bus.

No. He thinks they are aspirational role models, but takes pride that neither of them was able to bulldoze the White House.

The tear gas and explosives seem fired from the roofs by rogue feds in what proved a failed attempt to provoke violence. Should be more video from around this area. See www.opb.org/article/2025...
The protests will increase the turnout of voters who will not be intimidated by brown shirts in masks.

We can restructure too. It is done with viewing, otherwise known as "boycott." Avoid viewing it. Avoid patronizing their sponsors. No, the "court' of the Supremely Corrupt can't make you watch it or buy a damned thing off it. No, Kristi the Vampire Gnome can't execute your dog either.

EdinColorado @edincolorado.bsky.social · 2d

The "court" of the Supremely Corrupt declared he could do whatever he wants and not be held accountable. Nothing he does can be considered a crime. That means he is bound by no laws and no Constitution.

Such is the apex of the Department of "Justice." "Government" is a romper room on steroids.

The "court" of the Supremely Corrupt?

Yeah--or have Hesgeth do an urban war drill and blast it with rockets.

When we fight, we win WHEN we are clear about what we are fighting FOR.

There's a major difference between a battle and a bar brawl. The rank and file are ready to be led into a battle for a better nation; the legacy operatives just want to keep the brawling going. It is pathetic.

EdinColorado @edincolorado.bsky.social · 2d

Republicans run on bad policy. But they unite behind it. Democrats provide no leadership in what they are FOR. I've deleted thousands of those Mothership Strategy spam emails all out the Democratic fundraisers: 3 parts-"outrage, Trump!!, donate here." NOT one word what the party agreed to be FOR!

If she iwas representative of voters, her party wouldn't be engaged in gerrymandering on steroids to allow her to pick her voters. American voters surely wouldn't pick her. Does everyone salivate on command like a Pavlov dog whenever a dumb political twit screams "antisemite!" and "communist!!" ?

And Jewish Bernie Sanders is calling out the corruption of both parties and Netanyahu's AIPAC-backed corrupt politicians allowing Israel's government to shadow-govern American citizens and persecute Jewish protestors who resist.

EdinColorado @edincolorado.bsky.social · 2d

If you express dislike for AIPAC bribery, demands that you cheer lead for supporting a genocide, and actually state that no one elected Bibi Netanyahu to shadow-govern American citizens or run their universities, the Netanyahu Nazis will label you as "antisemitic." What ugly nonsense.

Fox News , corporate mainstream media and some operatives of the two cartel parties HATE American citizens having access to information they cannot censor and manipulate.

Way to brand your party as the party that poops on the public, JD!

The Party couldn't be more honest, and the Air Force couldn't be more embarrassed.

Cuomo is the typical legacy, ruling-class Democrat responsible for the 27% approval rating of the Democratic Party. Citizens' "choice" to stay with such "leadership" is to plunge this nation further into autocracy. Changing this party is now a do or die situation for democracy.

"Actually, these aren’t just debating tricks or clever bits of argumentative rhetoric. They are a mix of logical errors, reasoning fallacies, and sheer artifice. Which is again unsurprising if one realizes the goal is not to educate but to manipulate."
