Thank you - please keep talking about which Dems are voting with Republicans. Those who vote for their donors instead of us are the reason Dems lost “the working class” and so many people don’t vote. These corporate Dems just protect the status quo that keeps the rest of in a precarious state. They’re also the reason some of the Republican agenda is getting done instead of Dems successfully blocking it.

Some of these Dems are so good at speaking out, too, that we won’t know unless we really look at how they vote. Examples are Adam Schiff, Elissa Slotkin, Jared Moskowitz, and Cory Booker. This is why I think Pete Buttigieg needs to be in the House or Senate, or be a governor, before I’d support him for president - we haven’t really seen how he would vote or what policies he will work for, on a range of issues, let alone that he can win elections.

We also need to be aware which Democrats actually work for the progressive agenda that helps the 99%. As far as I know, Maxwell Frost, AOC, Greg Casar, Elizabeth Warren, Sheldon Whitehouse, Bernie of course, and Tim Walz are real ones. I live in MN and am so grateful for Tim Walz’s “get it done, now!” approach

Merkley, Markey & Raskin are some others. Crockett, too, I think. And probably Chris Murphy. Also the rest of the Squad.

It’s time for a new party(s)! Although, I have to say that “not all”democrats are in it for themselves when “all”Republicans have made it clear that they are!

Clyburn has always been a corporate democrat.

Unpopular opinion. Establishment Dems and Repubs are complicit in the destruction of this country. It's time to vote third party for president.

That’s not an unpopular opinion—that’s the fucking truth.

Agree this exposes the weakness of dems and corporate media. So pathetic - Vichy Dems.

But the reason Tulsi Marjorie TG et al are vocally opposed to war with Iran is bc russia doesn’t want this. It’s still great they’re fighting among themselves but never forget how dangerous they **all** are. Don’t give him any flowers, but **do** help widen that rift….

So Trump, is this the same as golfling daily on the tax payer's back? You are a federal worker. So why can you golf, leave the G7 and we cannot celebrate the freeing of slaves?

Can you tell me what you do on your fedral job daily? A schedule? A break down of YOU use of federal dollares on a daily basis. Cowardish or sloth?

I think Zohran Mamdani is quite good from all I've seen & heard of him.

“I’m a terrible capitalist”- I love that quote. If we all become terrible capitalists we would live in a better world.

Well of course, he did. He was the one who led the push to get Biden elected as Democratic nominee when he was in 5th place, forcing Buttigieg, Klobuchar & Steyer to drop out in order to gang up on progressives Bernie, who was leading at the time, & Warren. Clyburn is a major recipient of AIPAC money.

I'm switching from democratic party to independent. In NYS/NYC independents can't vote in primaries, but having voted during early voting for Mamdani, I realize it was a vote going nowhere. For any woman to vote for Cuomo is inexplicable; for anyone to vote for Cuomo is inexplicable.

I DO NOT understand why Democrats want to bring back a once strong politician, who helped lead the people through Covid-19 then was exposed for failure to report nursing home statistics and was accused of groping women then left in disgrace (then made excuses because of the time period he was born in- I was born in that same time period!). Then he start kowtowing to tRump, though he once stood against him. Helloooo- can you say Rudy Giuliani? He was another strong leader who led NYC through 911. Once the leaders fall, why do voters want to revive them? Remember them for the good they did, and move on! Stop trying to recreate a portion of the past; these has-beens will fail you again. Look around at the mire and the murk that all of these flaws and failures led to and look for REAL solutions that will get us out of the quagmire and quicksand to put us on more solid ground. Enough! Let's not repeat vicious cycles, because surely, our sordid history will ALWAYS repeat itself, and there will be no one to blame but ourselves!

Here we go again! The old washed up Dem “leadership” who got us in this terrible situation, is at it again. Clyburn is 84 years old. He needs to retire & take Cuomo with him. We need new blood in the Democratic Party. This BS breaks out & we wonder why the numbers on the Party are so low? We have Nazis trying to take over America in front of us & we concentrate on this? We HAVE to get rid of bought off politicians like Clyburn. That old bum needs to worry about what is happening in Washington D.C., not New York City! Damn it, get the hell out of the way you greedy old bastard!
