Man who's literally bought and paid for by a genocidal administration, calls other people the rot for not being corrupt pieces of shit like him.

Bold move.

Much of the rot in the Democratic Party is directly attributable to its ties to AIPAC.

This guy needs to shut the fuck up. Brain damage should be a reason to be removed from office. Your brain is you and if it's damaged you are technically not yourself anymore.

If I had another party I’d gladly go there instead of getting lumped in with assholes like him.

I’ve made up my mind I’m never clicking a headline that includes the word slam.

Edit: okay maybe if it includes the word “body” first, and especially if it says “fascist” after

We do have other parties.

The problem is FPTP voting which (just to explain for anyone who hasn't heard this a million times) makes it irrational to vote for a third-party, because every vote for a party that isn't the closest-to-center-bell-curve-left party is more likely to split the vote for left-leaning voters, and therefore functions as a vote for right (in the US's case, fascist) party.

And the problem with that is, we need to implement ranked choice or similar voting in state- and nation-wide races for the situation to improve, which takes years of planning in every locality, and our attention is absolutely destroyed by constant crises.

Yes the system is bullshit which is why I have no faith in it.

As someone who suffered brain damage from a TBI, I wholeheartedly agree. His cognitive ability has clearly dropped and his whole personality changed. He's literally not the same person anymore.

Just like I haven't been the same person I was since my accident.

Are there other assholes like him? I know there's other assholes. But at this point, he's basically a DINO (a term I don't use loosely). The only thing making him kind of Democratic is that he's not tied to the GOP coalition.

So many assholes.

And also I disagree with almost all of their policies.

Guess that makes me a DINO

what if it's a review of the 1993 seminal classic slam by onyx?

It depends, if you're left of the candidates, I'd argue that the umbrella still includes you.

If you're agreeing with right-wing extremist positions, the umbrella doesn't include (like Fetterman).

Except rightwing positions tend to be represented by the umbrella's actions a lot better than leftwing positions.

That sucks, hope you're doing OK. I have had family with similar situations, in one, it turned the meanest woman I knew (aunt in law) nice, though completely incompetent. It was surreal.

I’m so far to their left the umbrella is dripping on me and one shoulder is getting wet.

And I’d rather not be under the umbrella in the first place. They’re all like”oh boy hierarchy and rules! I love my imaginary lines in the dirt!”

this is pretty much what makes me a centerist. our country is the constitution. it came into being with its rattification and exists only so long as it does. being a citizen means accepting it as the framework for our rule of law in the society. no issue is as important to me as getting back to following the constitution and prosecuting every violation of it. So im big on rules but hierarchy no so much that its about running the system.

I'd go one step further. The people shouldn't need a reason to replace their representative. It should be possible at any time for any reason.

Thank you! It can be rough, especially in the mornings, but it hasn't destroyed my empathy or creativity and that's a lot of what I value.

Definitely seen the personality shifts, though, and I would resign if I were fedderman

Why stop at representatives? Every elected official should capable of being recalled, hell I'd go so far as to say they should have their power frozen until such a time as the recall is finished with the seat being left vacant until such a time as a new person has been elected. Also if it's the president their entire staff should go with them, perhaps with an execution question if they piss off enough folks they catch a bullet.
