Did ChatGPT tell the Democratic Party to kill itself??

Sheldon remind me when did Chuck Schumer fight united with the Democratic nominee for mayor of New York
The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.

Because this is a brand-destroying action by Senate Dems.
Interesting that NY gov Kathy Hochul felt compelled to put out a statement against Dems' deal to end the shutdown

I was about to comment that this looks like a ballpoint pen drew it before I even read the post.
Chris Cuomo is trying to make this atrocious little mustache happen even though it looks like he drew it on with a ballpoint pen

Y’all the Trump administration does not intent to release the SNAP funds and we can’t even be confident they can accurately account for them.

Funny how it's always the left wing that has to put aside its issues and the moderates who get their way who call for unity.
Doesn't seem like much of a coalition if one subset always has to shut up and sit down

Ah ha 👇
This article is probably true. It doesn't say he privately fought to extend the government shutdown beyond Sunday.
"...he was privately cajoling a group of moderates not to fold before November."
That's in line with reporting that said Dems wanted to get to election day, Nov. 4, before folding.

I think "Don't call the cops" is pretty good advice without any qualifiers.
Don't call the cops on someone in a mental health crisis unless you want them dead.
Three former San Antonio police officers were acquitted on Monday of all charges related to the fatal shooting of a woman who appeared to be having a mental health crisis when they were dispatched to her apartment in 2023. nyti.ms/4qRnvvT

Yep. Don't give up the party apparatus, organization, etc to the Vichy Dems.
Kick THEM out.

Right, the answer isn't to abandon the party to these weasels.
The answer is to flood the party with people who will take it over and transform it.

Hey, a lot of people are talking about changing affiliation from Democratic to Independent.
Let me tell you why you shouldn’t do that in Colorado.
One of the main ways to get a primary challenge candidate on a ballot is to caucus for your party. You need to be registered as a Dem to caucus.

I'm a SNAP recipient... for the last month I was tightening my belt, doing my best to eat cheaper and eating less so I'd have a little left over to help get me through when payments were cut. It was all for nothing. Fuck the dems who supported this.
