The Democratic Party in Trump's Fascist 2nd Term. Commentary, Ideas & Strategy (+ non Woketicism)

I'm choosing to believe this meme was started by someone who knows it takes 67 Senate votes to override a Presidential Veto.

 

Jeffries making a late bid to be more feckless than Schumer

We’ve gotta get rid of these New Yorkers…something about the Democratic Party in NY (these guys, Hochul, Cuomo) that makes them quick to collaborate with Republicans.

 

One party states make lazy politicians.

 

<points at Gavin Newsom>

Definitely true for Gray Davis though.

 

They're as terrified of the socialist NYC wing (LaGuardia/Mamdani) as the Reeps.Mark my words if Hochul gets primaried say hi to Gov.Stefanik.

 

What an absolute pile of garbage...... Jeffries is truly embarrassing.

 

It's not exactly "lazy," at least not in California. It's more that they don't get the reps they need to face up against genuine GOPers. And they don't get the reps they need in appealing to voters beyond their natural constituency. These are partisan political muscles that politicians only acquire with practice. That practice comes through engagement with legitimate GOP opponents and truly contested elections. There aren't many of those in California (except in the primaries). So those partisan political muscles never get developed. This is all more of less true of every California Dem. The interesting thing about Newsom is that he's actually done (and is still doing) a little work to exercise the partisan political muscles that you need on the national stage, but that really aren't developed by California politics. The best example of this is the debate Newsom had with Ron DeSantis. That debate happened for no reason whatsoever, except that Newsom needed a sparring partner.

Racism has a power component that Black people lack.

 

The only time that was an issue for me was when Lewis Hamilton was being interviewed by some dozy yank woman and she asked him how did he feel about being the first 'African American' to win the F1 world championship and he said, 'I'm not ANY sort of American'

It was pretty funny though

 

During the 94 World Cup, a commentator referred to an “African American” playing for Sweden.

Alas, Martin Dahlin was not then, nor has he ever been, American. Too bad, because he scored more goals that tournament than the US did.

 

The relative power component is the biggest single factor in all comparisons but, having said that, I don't think it's a particularly good idea to differentiate between people based on something as ultimately inconsequential as the colour of their skin because it's a bit... well, daft. It makes us sound as witless as the right although I get that CP's going for that whole 'humorous meme' vibe, (albeit with varying levels of success )

 

I mean, I understand why it happens, but it does rather suggest that everything is related back to 'America first' and that other countries and their peoples have only a 'walk on part' in any discussion.

Regardling Dahlin... I always disliked that bloody bloke as he gave the assist to Tomas Brolin for Sweden's second, winning goal when they eliminated us from the '92 euros...



Mind you, I hated Brolin even more

 

I remember the anecdote about a business article writing about a company that had turned itself around and gone from being in the red to being in the African-American.

And that was before AI!

 

I kind of missed this but I read a reference about it earlier today. Apparently, Newsom's Proposition 50 fundraising surplus is substantial. In the multi-millions of dollars. There are restrictions on how that surplus can be used, but I believe it can be transferred in whole or in part to other campaign committees -- say, 2026 midterm congressional campaign committees. If you wanted to run for president, and you were sitting on that kind of political money, that's exactly what you would do: become a benefactor and king-maker for all sorts of congressional candidates across the country. The money gives the congressional candidates the resources to organize and create a political infrastructure. Those congressional candidates then come around, endorse you, and put their organization to work for you.

 

Regarding "They/Them" : To me it just comes across as schizophrenic when someone refers to oneselves as "themselves", as if they have multiple personalities. Why not "it"?

 

Because "it" is used for either inanimate objects or non-humans. It would only dehumanize them even further than society already does.

 

Already covered.

“It” refers to non-persons or non-humans.
