How could an appealing but toxic amphibian ever hope to represent the spirit of the democratic party?

5·8 days agoIt’s barely even hypocrisy. Hypocrisy implies failing to meet a professed standard or concealing your true beliefs.
They just earnestly believe they deserve things that others don’t and they’re not really afraid to act that way publicly.

You’re thinking of money.
Better to keep a man on the inside, especially since he can’t flip control and can keep voting with the regime anyway.

12·9 days agoIf you read their comment history, they are not a bootlicker. They come off more like a depressed californian who leans left.
I think their comment was refering to the ballot initiatives in ca, the wealth tax and the two counter-measures that billioniares bought.

5·17 days agoThere was a massive study from princeton over a decade ago showing that since the end of the civil rights era, not a single piece of public policy reflected public opinion.
The conclusion was that there is no evidence that the US is a democracy, and it explicitly said we’ve functionally been an oligarchy since the 70s.

politics @lemmy.world•How the Consulting Class Is Eating the Democratic Party
9·17 days agoI believe it’s just saying millennial/gen-z aren’t likely to start supporting republicans over dems, not that they’re strong supporters of the dems.
A lot of the article points at ways the dems have failed to engage with issues truly important to their base, so i think in context it’s clearer that it’s not saying dems are beloved.

politics @lemmy.world•How the Consulting Class Is Eating the Democratic Party
421·18 days agoEighty-five percent of millennial and Gen Z donors favored Democrats, a trend that appears durable rather than something they’ll age out of. As this cohort entered its prime earning and donating years, Democrats should have been building the broadest grassroots fundraising base in the history of American politics. Instead, the spam model drove millions of these potential donors away. The party didn’t just fail to capitalize on its generational advantage. It actively destroyed it, trading a rising base that would have funded the party for decades for one that is being exhausted for short-term fees. Private equity firms call this “harvesting.” You stop investing in the business and extract everything you can before the foundation gives way. The consultant class has been harvesting the Democratic Party for over a decade.
Just one excellent point from this article. Worth reading to the end.

I feel like i can understand why someone who’s hearing voices might not behave 100% rationally.
