Doesn’t help that Zohran has been in interview after interview giving clear and succint answers with direction and conviction. It makes the incoherent stammering of establishment Democrats look even worse.
Without someone like Zohran, they don’t have a reason to do anything but promise to maintain the status quo and be, if nothing else, an existing alternative to the Republican party.
So obviously they’re going to kill him if the ratfuck fails.
I’m truly worried for him. They’ve assembled the US secret police who don’t require ID’s for visible faces. They could hit him in broad daylight, and they disavow that it was them.
The fasch won’t be the ones to kill him.
Not that they wouldn’t, but he doesnt actually hurt them too much except locally. He is an existential threat to dem establishment.
Kamala desperate to prove that despite not winning she’s a first place loser
Love to just question-beg that incrementalism is how elections are won when she lost her election on an incrementalist platform, but it doesn’t count because Biden stayed in the election for too long and that in no manner reflects any further problem with the party.
It’s amazing how they coordinated so well to rat-fuck Bernie but then do this against Trump
The DNC fought Zohran and Bernie harder than they ever did Trump
They did this in 2022 as well.
It never works. They never learn.
Third time is the charm
I know of the 2016 one, but not the 2022 one. What are the details of that?
Funnily enough a lot of conservative papers were complaining about it at the time because Trump was seen as toxic in 2022 until Desantis cratered.
I don’t think they needed to run it in 2024. Desantis was just that bad lol.
iirc the DNC funded and encouraged a bunch of extremely racist and fringe GOP 2022 congressional primary candidates in a repeat of the 2016 pied piper strategy
Trump cut their taxes. Under capitlaism that is the ethically correct choice. Why would they do otherwise?
It’s amazing how they coordinated so well to rat-fuck Bernie but then do this against Trump
Class solidarity gets them the goods. We need to try it too.
The key to climbing the way to the top is successfully being able to blame every problem on something but yourself while threading the delicate needle axing anyone that gets in your way and sucking up to your betters.
Not taking responsibility for anything in any meaningful way is as obligatory as breathing to them.
I don’t have a chip on my shoulder about anything I’m super normal I swear 😶
Also in 2016, where they ratfucked sanders, and convinced trump to run and helped him through the primary.
But no seriously we need to turn Stewart’s face into an emote, cause lmao, that’s only a face someone makes when their whole conception of the universe falls apart
Don’t worry, stewart will be back up tomorrow asking the republicans to finally fund the 9/11 victims fund, appealing to their humanity and whatnot
(not yet an official emoji)
What would you even increment towards? Stagnation?
Establishment Dems would need to be incrementally pursuing a democratic workplace, cessation of imperial exploitation, and the dissolution of the violent enforcement of heteronormativity to be an interesting narrative foil to leftists. Hell, pick 2 and suddenly you have a real fight because you might actually argue about great being the enemy of good. Pick 1 and the lib arguments for harm reduction are compelling. Short of that what the fuck are we doing here? The plan is to get more racist as a means to incrementally increase funding to Israel?
incrementally pursuing a democratic workplace
best we can do is intermittently supporting imperialist anticommunist unions
the plan is
Also pederasty and cocaine, but yes.
“the trans can have a little recognition, as a treat. But only sometimes”
more trans drone pilots
until we lose to another republicanPersecution is technically a form of recognition I guess.
Being incremental while your country rushes into ruin leaves you where? You lot aren’t incremental doing genocides. How you fight “progressive” harder than you fight trump? Looks like your side is clear
incremental genocides
Look, I Stan incrementalism the method. I’m apolitical on what it’s used for. That isn’t what’s important.
I’m not advocating incrementalism
but maybe that is where we aredo the people around her really not understand why voters don’t take her seriously?
Wake up, Jon. Zingers are never gonna get people healthcare. Decades of trying and failing to sass away the republican party should teach you something by now.
He looks so sad lol
Punished Jon Stewart arc, let’s fucking goooo
That sounds like an Aamon Animations bit lol
The tweet also applies to Stewart lmao
He has a podcast now? And its called “The Weekly Show”. That’s cute.
…hour and 20 min. Let you know how it goes…
oh hey, she criticizes the old democrat door knocking campaigns, and prescribes one that looks a lot more like what the DSA has done with the New York Mamdani campaign
ooh interesting question:
Stuart: are the reforms that Democrats are talking about not enough? Are they basically tinkering at the edges of a system that is inherently corrupt and not delivering, as opposed to rethinking that system so that it delivers more directly? Lets talk about the ACA. Basically, it’s a conservative fix to a healthcare system that is an outlier in the civilized world. It gives people a coupon that allows them, maybe, entrance into this circus that is our healthcare system. So now Democrats are fighting to keep the cost of that coupon slightly less. Are you now trapped in a program that ultimately wasn’t the fix that we wanted it to be, to a system that inherently won’t function well because of externalities in a straight, capitalist, supply-and-demand way?
Harris: We still have work to do to make America’s health system deliver for all the people, and not be a function of how much money you have in your back pocket. And Democrats do come from that place, of believing healthcare should be a right, and not just a privilege of those that can afford it. So how do you get there? Well, part of how you get there immediately on this issue of where we are with the shutdown is to hold firm, as they are doing. Part of it has to be to continue to reform the system. The Affordable Care Act was a significant reform for its time. But there is more work to be done, which includes, for example, the affordability of prescription medication. We pushed for a $35 cap on insulin, which had a huge impact on so many people. We did it for seniors. We wanted to do it for everyone. We couldn’t get the support of Republicans in Congress.
Stuart: But again, it speaks to incremental change.
Harris: Which is never satisfying
lol, it’s the response quoted in the twitter screenshot except it leaves out the last sentence;
And it’s not where we should be. And it should not satisfy us, that we have accomplished incremental change. We should be completely pissed off about that.
We pushed for a $35 cap on insulin, which had a huge impact on so many people.
There is no other country where it’s anywhere near that expensive.

How can they say this with a straight face when equivalent nations that literally border the US had full universal in the 80s.
she wants to us AI to speed up permitting requests
If I thought the world ended at the borders of this country, if I was completely unaware of international policy, I might say John Stuart is a good interviewer.
There was also a funny bit, where she had to thread the needle of saying Biden was not fit to run a campaign, but was fit to be the sitting president. Very funny, even John was somewhat taken aback by that.
I know it’s tired to roll play ways Harris could have done a better job but why even entertain the notion that the reason you are running is that the current president is unfit. That’s just weak af.
She also mentions being surprised that people thought she was no different from Biden on policy choices… despite her going on television and telling people that.
Oh dear God, they’re already questionable as is…

Appreciate the context.
And it’s not where we should be. And it should not satisfy us, that we have accomplished incremental change. We should be completely pissed off about that.
People are pissed off about it. It’s why they’re electing fascists and socialism is more popular than ever before despite the establishment demonizing the word for the last 100 years.
Good
