  • He’s not leaving the Democratic Party.

    So that’s one thing people should be aware of. He’s leaving his role at the DNC, in part because he can have less arguments and fund the candidates he wanted to fund anyway with his twenty million dollars.

    If you do not have a twenty million dollar PAC, you can still run for the DNC and hold the exact same positions he held and be in the exact same arguments he was in and they’ll have to work with that. Because that’s how a national political party works. He decided he didn’t have to do that anymore.

    Personally, I think he got tired of getting blamed for whatever Ken Martin was blaming him for and thought, “fuck it, I’ll just do it myself”. Which is perfectly valid if you’ve got a twenty million dollar PAC to join the races with.



  • That is the result of having a 48% “majority” in the Senate, yes. It’s not strange at all. That’s the main determining factor in the Senate passing legislation. It’s all covered in detail in many thousands of books on the topic. I recommend one.

    And universal health care.

    Do go on.

    Reproductive rights.

    Sure, you’re of the opinion that just because abortion was safe and legal the Democrats only used the issue as a scare tactic in campaigns but never had any intention to create law for it. Despite no evidence for that and a lot of evidence to the contrary. And you’ll argue that despite the justices who perjured themselves and voted to make it illegal it’s the Democrats fault because reasons. Okay.

    If you’re happier now than under Biden, okay. If not, maybe you could consider not fighting the people trying to go the way you want to go?
