Harris' book: Writing off her political career? Posted by greenman on September 20, 2025, 1:39 pm Valued Poster Not that many of us would vote for her again.. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/09/19/kamala-harris-new-book-befuddles-dems-00574304 But other Democrats saw a more fundamental problem for Harris in her account of the hardships of running a mad-dash race, and what they described as a lack of understanding of why she lost. “Look, if she’d won the presidency, and this was the story of how she overcame obstacles within the Democratic Party to eke out a narrow victory, that would be interesting,” said Adam Green, co-founder of the Progressive Change Campaign committee. “But none of it is relevant. Josh Shapiro measuring the drapes is not even a drop in the bucket compared to the fact that she is in no way, on a gut level, capable of connecting to working people in a year when that was the dominant thing to do in order to win.” I repeat my assessment: The DNC screwed this up by having no plan for 2024. It was NOT Biden's fault. He was simply left to work it out, and decided 'Oh well, I guess they want me to do it again.' RESIST!

It wasn't a mistake, but a whole cascade of mistakes Posted by Pikes Peak 14115 on September 20, 2025, 2:53 pm, in reply to "Harris' book: Writing off her political career?" ADMIN The DNC made them. Biden made them. Harris made them. Al Gore made them H Clinton made them. Dukakis made them. Mondale made them. Haven't they made enough? When will they learn? We ran out of time. Now because of the felon, we're in damage control mode, and if the DNC doesn't get their act together, this "house" will be so badly damaged, it must be condemned. The felon is a squatter. A real squatter. He sh!ts on everything he touches. There are no worst words or terms with which you can desribe him. Language has no basement for him. MAGA isn't any better. It was a MAGA bullet that killed Kirk. His murderer was a Groyper follower of Nick Fuentes. That is all over his social media postings. You can look away from a painting, but you can't listen away from a symphony

True, but two in particular. Posted by greenman on September 20, 2025, 4:25 pm, in reply to "It wasn't a mistake, but a whole cascade of mistakes" Valued Poster Biden and the DNC didn't get together about '21-'22 and say 'Since you said one term, Joe, let's pick the next candidate.' Then, they dumped him with about three months to go and appointed (not elected) Kamala his successor. She wasn't qualified. Nor was Tim. I LITERALLY only voted for her because of Trump. Only reason. RESIST!

What Kimmel said was obviously WAY too close to the truth. Posted by Skye on September 20, 2025, 3:09 pm, in reply to "It wasn't a mistake, but a whole cascade of mistakes" Valued Poster And they could not stand for that. I wouldn't doubt if Kirk was just a sacrifice that they felt needed to be made... much like the guy who was killed instead of Trump at that rally.

It's easy to see conspiracies there. Posted by greenman on September 20, 2025, 4:28 pm, in reply to "What Kimmel said was obviously WAY too close to the truth." Valued Poster I don't think there was, I think it was a guy pissed about his roommate and transgender hatred. That doesn't help the LGBTQ cause much though, does it? Making a martyr of him shows why assassination is a bad idea. Still, he doesn't deserve it. He was a swine. RESIST!

True enough. Posted by Skye on September 20, 2025, 4:43 pm, in reply to "It's easy to see conspiracies there." Valued Poster Violence, hatred, cruelty, bullying and murder is never a good idea. One begets the other and the other and the other.....

Still.... Posted by Skye on September 20, 2025, 4:47 pm, in reply to "True enough." It's hard not to hate those who spread and instill hate, for whatever reason, which often results in violence. Just feeds into a relentless and never-ending cycle of hate, abuse and violence.... Some like TW will tell you that their beliefs and behavior is not about hate, but.... I would beg to differ. Anyone who spreads and supposedly 'believes' the lies, hypocrisy and bigotry that he does, has got to have some hatred driving that.

And.... Posted by Skye on September 20, 2025, 5:14 pm, in reply to "Still...." Valued Poster Just remembering the MSNBC commentator, Matthew Dowd, who was fired for saying that Kirk's own words may have fueled the violence that claimed his life... which was undoubtedly true, according to his assassin anyway. But we are not supposed to say uncomfortable truths, as Jimmy Kimmel can also attest to.

Those are simply violations of the 1st Amendment Posted by greenman on September 21, 2025, 12:01 pm, in reply to "And...." Valued Poster Where are the protests? Where are the lawsuits? Where are Dems in Congress? My vote next year depends upon Dems getting their heads out of their arses. If they continue to do nothing, I will boycott the election. RESIST!

You will more easily give the GOP a win by boycotting ellections Posted by Sia on September 21, 2025, 12:33 pm, in reply to "Those are simply violations of the 1st Amendment" ADMIN I get the sentiment totally, however it is better to actively try to get the Dems to put up better candidates ND to help stop more gerrymandering by the GOP. Both parties may do it, but the WORST offenders are state GOP. So we must fight against them and help the Dems win.

It's the Party's job to put up candidates Posted by greenman on September 22, 2025, 8:45 am, in reply to "You will more easily give the GOP a win by boycotting ellections" Valued Poster I'm only one voter, in the end. We'll see how it goes, however. I usually vote. RESIST!
