He’s goddamned right.
I am not sure why this guy gets any crap from the Dems. He may be a bit bro-ey for me IMHO but he wants to get new blood into the DNC and for that alone I support him.
He is primarily a single issue politician focusing on gun control and the party cannot court Republicans with a tangible gun control policy.
Harris had Liz Cheney on stage with her. Liz Cheney is a monster, and we courted her. It only drove actual potential voters on the left away.
There aren't any sane Republicans to court. Stop with the Overton window bullshit. Stop trying to meet the sociopath by choice movement in the middle. It's been racing us to the doom we're sitting in for as long as I've been alive. We need to elect an enemy of the capital markets on no uncertain terms. Someone that would enslave our economy to exist in service to the needs of the citizenry as it always should have been, because corporations aren't people, and should not exist if they are serving few or one at the expense of the rest of the citizenry. It should be the corporate burden to prove why it should exist at all by showing how society is better off because of it. Given the power theyve shown they will always accumulate and abuse, I'm for a perpetual corporate death penalty on a hair trigger for the slightest of antisocial activity.
If we don't make an extreme move left from this fascist hellscape, it's all just rearranging deck chairs.
If by some miracle we have another free election, managing to elect another neoliberal to move the Democrats closer to the Fascists as they have for 50 years will just keep the table set for the fascists to march again in another 4. Fascism is the union of the state and big business, the only thing the Neoliberals don't add to that stew is the cruelty and scapegoating as the people are robbed blind, they save that special sauce for their esteemed opposition, but they are both all about mass homelessness, and entire economic sectors murdering Americans when it's profitable in state sanctioned confidence schemes like our deathcare system. Thats neoliberal and fascist bipartisan supported and defended from we the people.
The capital markets must be dismantled with extreme prejudice, any value redistributed in order of the worst off aka the capitalists greatest victims who they haven't yet murdered, with currency retied to labor or active stake (working at) in a company/cooperative. If we refuse to do that, highly likely, nothing can improve and get comfortable in misery and cruelty.
Yeah my comment was of the cynical type towards their strategy, not a support of it.
Apologies.
I can't agree on the first part. He does have opinions that he expresses quite plainly on many topics besides gun control.
The second part is so true it's not even funny.
To me, he gives off a whiff of being entitled. He was a Parkland survivor and I think at least part of him thinks that shields him from criticism and means everybody should just fall in line behind him, and he doesn't seem to fully grasp that that isn't the case.
At least that's the impression I get.
Lmfao dude you need to take a step back and take an objective view of what you just said. What the fuck.
WTF!? David Hogg is a fighter, he fought the injustice of school shootings fiercely and brilliantly. And for the first time ever NRA was seriously shaken very much due to the Parkland survivors.
It's very obvious why he is frustrated by Wall Street democrats, if you haven't noticed USA could literally lose their democracy by the bad decisions and inaction of democrats, allowing MAGA to bulldozer over everything without resistance.
Oh, I thought he was talking about Davy, since he famously opposed Jackson's executive oversteps. Either one's fine I guess.
Davy Crockett is King of the Wild Frontier. We are trying to avoid a monarchy.
I get the joke, but in seriousness he was actually quite opposed to Jackson's march toward authoritarianism.
