I’m convinced American exceptionalism is a big part of what made us vulnerable to Trump. We’re so used to thinking of ourselves as the Special Freedom Country that a lot of people find it inconceivable we could rapidly collapse into shabby despotism even as they watch it happen.
Real talk. I’ve lost all belief in American exceptionalism. There is no secret Liberty Sauce that makes us inherently better. We’re just human beings (derogatory). But it also means we’re human beings (laudatory), so I refuse to believe Republicans won politics forever and can rule as god kings.

Leaving aside the (bad) merits of the decision, it's clear that Schumer and Jeffries did not gameplan this situation in advance or do any work to coordinate a plan to other elected Dems, much less to Dem voters.

W/o endorsing Marisa's assesement below, here's what you have to understand about NY D's.
- often products of machine politics
- live in constant fear of the NYPost
- most intense political combat is reserved for leftists and progressive activists who they view as their primary threat

The GOP is so unpopular right now that they need cops to escort Reps out of their own town halls. It's one of the best possible times to stick it to them and fight. Schumer is just sticking his head in the sand, because that's who he is, and because he'll be fine. Unforgivable stuff.

If the dems want to survive they have to become a party that is disciplined by its base instead of the other way around. They absolutely need a tea party or they’re cooked forever.

Schumer calling the cops on these people instead of agreeing to fight Trump. Sums it all up.
🚨 BREAKING: 11 young people were arrested after Schumer locked the doors on us—we showed him how to fight, but he couldn’t even face us.
His cowardly deal gives Musk the keys to our government while working people suffer. If he won’t fight for us, he’s unfit to lead.
Step up or step aside.

I love to call my Senators' offices three times per week and try to cajole them into doing the most elementary political messaging and strategy. This is what it means to be an engaged citizen: leaving a strenuously polite voicemail for a 74yo on a more regular cadence than I talk to my parents.

It's clear Chuck Schumer is not cut out to lead the senate Democrats. There needs to be a vote of no confidence and he needs to be replaced with someone willing to fight. Trump and Elon are dismantling democracy while Schumer whines and capitulates.

So are we all in agreement that the Dems function as controlled opposition and bourgeois electoral politics isn’t going to save us from fascism or climate change

Centrist dems mad at Schumer have to eat some humble pie and admit the left wing of the party was right about party leadership all along if things are ever going to change.

it has been said before but one problem is that when some people say 'the economy' they're talking about poor people affording food and housing, & when some other people say 'the economy' they're referring to a chart of how happy rich people are

Hitler youth under Apartheid Clyde are taking over the US financial system and mainstream media is crickets
NEW: Archived tweets for Gavin Kriger, Musk's 20-something DOGE employee wreaking havoc inside USAID, shows that Kriger has retweeted multiple neo-Nazis including Nick Fuentes, leader of the so-called Groyper movement, and another popular explicit Nazi account recently unmasked by @travisbrown.dev
Gavin Kliger, Elon's DOGE hitler youth shutting down USAID, is now indirectly responsible for the deaths of thousands of children. His Instagram appears to be @gkliger. He's scrubbing his online footprint.
Here's an archived copy of Kliger's resume: web.archive.org/web/20240418...

I'm sorry, but "they took over the whole federal payments system, fired the career staff, and won't let anybody see what they're doing" is not a situation in which you wait for more information. It's a situation in which you assume the worst. There's no explanation for it other than rampant crimes.
