Democrat Dinosaurs Are Butt Hurt

The corporate Dems are mall flustered by the success the DSA is having in the elections around the country….and the MSM is giving them all the air time they want….this will help the corrupt party win….so they think.

The problem is that the DSA has gained in popularity and the fossils of the party are scared they will lose their dominance….

A new CNN poll conducted by SSRS has found that roughly a third of Democrats now describe themselves as democratic socialists, underscoring the growing footprint of the party’s left flank ahead of November’s midterm elections.

According to the data, those who identify with the label skew younger, are more likely to be white, and tend to earn under $100,000 annually compared with the broader Democratic electorate. The poll also found this group reports being especially motivated to turn out and vote in the midterms, a potential signal of the energy the movement could bring to down-ballot races this fall.

One In Three Democrats Now Identify As Democratic Socialists, New Poll Finds

I have written in the past about Dem strategist Carville….I think it is time for this dinosaur to retire…and take the corporate influence with him….now he is threatening….

James Carville says there’s one Democratic Party he won’t belong to—and it’s one where left-wing Twtich star Hasan Piker holds sway. The veteran strategist told Fox News on Sunday that if Piker becomes a meaningful force inside the party, “I’m out of here.” The comments come ahead of Michigan’s closely watched Democratic primary on Tuesday pitting moderate Rep. Haley Stevens against progressive Abdul El-Sayed. Piker has been a prominent supporter of El-Sayed, who holds a double-digit lead in the polls, notes the Hill.

“I have no intention of ever being in the same political party with that guy,” said Carville of Piker, adding that he thinks the “overwhelming majority of Democrats agree with me.” The clash comes as progressive and democratic socialist candidates, often aligned with the Democratic Socialists of America, notch primary wins over establishment-backed Democrats. Piker made the case to CNN that Democratic voters want alternative candidates after losses at the federal level by Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton. “There are a lot of people who are just like, ‘This is not working.'” But Carville pointed to Bernie Sanders’ losses as well. “I have one simple philosophy about politics: Winning is everything, stupid,” he told CNN.

My first thought was….Bye now….do not let the door hit you in the ass.

He had his day with Bubba Clinton and like Bubba it is time for him to STFU and fade away.

Go away and let this country move forward.

This country needs progress not regressive corruption that he represents…

  • Realizing the goal of a universal, high-quality, Medicare For All health care system for all.
  • Advancing the right of every American to retire with security and dignity.
  • Ending poverty and income inequality and securing a living wage for all people.
  • Protecting the fundamental right to organize.
  • Ending mass incarceration and advancing equal justice under the law.
  • Taking urgent, inclusive, and transformative action on climate change.
  • Upholding the fundamental reproductive rights of all people.
  • Ending our forever wars, cutting the bloated Pentagon budget, and prioritizing diplomacy.
  • Advancing humane, fair and just immigration laws.
  • Advancing racial justice and equity.

There is more so read on…..

This is what the voter is looking forward to not the same stale policies that this man represents.

Time for the country to move on.

Trump Diplomacy–Comic Book Edition

Our mindless Donny with his off again on again war with Iran made me think back to his first term and into his second and wonder just what the Hell is he thinking….that is if he thinking at all….

I recently read a great article that tries to explain these brain farts Donny keeps having….

Writers often try to gild their tawdry times or dignify their flawed leaders with lofty literary analogies — notably, America as the New Jerusalem; Lincoln as Moses leading his people through the wilderness of the Civil War; the Kennedy White House as an incarnation of King Arthur’s “Camelot“; or Lyndon Johnson living his last years as a latter-day King Lear, cast off by his ungrateful children into the moors of south Texas.

But what are we going to do with Donald Trump? Wouldn’t his vanity, his vulgarity, and his relentless pursuit of money and minerals in every corner of the globe turn any literary analogies into soggy clichés? Like the showman P.T. Barnum, Trump is an American original, whose true metaphors can be found only in comic books (America’s one true art form), not literature. As Ariel Dorfman reminded us once upon a time in How to Read Donald Duck, that classic guide to U.S. cultural imperialism in Latin America, there was always more to a Disney comic book than gags.

To understand Trump’s America, we need our own comic guidebook to his global misadventures, which might be titled something like “How to Read Scrooge McDuck.” After all, in case you never had the pleasure of his acquaintance, Scrooge McDuck was the predatory billionaire in Disney comics, who was amazingly popular among teenagers in Cold War America. In that era when American corporations scampered around the global economy extracting profits wherever they saw fit, Scrooge McDuck put a friendly face on U.S. imperialism, making covert intervention and commercial exploitation look benign, even comic.

From 1952 to 1988, a period coinciding almost precisely with the Cold War, the comic’s creator, illustrator Carl Barks, filled the country’s magazine racks with more than 220 comic books celebrating Scrooge’s schemes to accumulate ever more billions by dispatching Donald Duck and his triplet nephews (Huey, Dewey, and Louie) to scour the world for riches — gems, minerals, oil, and lost treasure. No place on the planet was too remote, not even the Arctic or the Amazon, and no people too poor or obscure, not even Hondurans and Tibetans, to escape his tight-fisted grasp. And yet in that innocent world of the comic book, every adventure, no matter how twisted the plot, always ended with a light laugh for those duckling heroes and the diverse peoples they encountered on their global travels.

His first term he had crappy diplomacy but his second term all diplomacy has been killed with the help of Little Marco and Pistol Pete…

American diplomacy is dead and who knows how long will it take to recover?

I wish I could be optimistic about the future of US diplomacy but I just cannot bring myself to do so….the damage has been done and the wounds will be gaping for a generation…..anything the next president does will be basically a band-aid for a gunshot wound.

Does anyone disagree?

Lots Of B*llshit For 2028

The DNC has decided where the first in the nation vote will be and their decision was South Carolina.

Progressives are not thrilled with this choice….

Democrats just set the opening scene for 2028—and the party’s left flank is not applauding. A key Democratic National Committee rules panel voted Friday to make South Carolina the first presidential primary state, sidelining Nevada and igniting fears among progressives that the move is designed to blunt another Bernie Sanders–style bid. South Carolina is where Sanders was trounced in both 2016 and 2020, and one panel member told Axios the choice risks “shutting down” a progressive contender rather than reflecting “the winds of change” while “the public is swinging left.”

The fight is layered with questions of ideology and race. Critics on the left, including Jacobin writer Branko Marcetic and streamer Hasan Piker, see the decision as an establishment play to block a “left-wing insurgent,” while some DNC members reportedly worried Nevada’s first-in-the-nation status could turbocharge a socialist candidate. Sanders easily won the Nevada caucuses in 2020 with help from organized labor allies, Puck notes. Earlier that month, Sanders won the New Hampshire primaries, with Joe Biden finishing fifth. But Biden went on to score a resounding victory in South Carolina, finishing ahead of Sanders in every county.

South Carolina Democratic Party chair Christale Spain, a former Sanders staffer, argues that a progressive such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez could “absolutely” win there—if they master retail politics in the South. The full DNC still has to ratify the calendar, but the deeper test for progressives remains whether they can finally break through with the older Black voters who dominate Southern primaries.

Will this make a difference?

The DNC is a dysfunctional mess and hoping blacks show up to vote will somehow save them.

Even that fossil James Carville sees how screwed up the DNC has become….he has even suggested the Hogg take over the leadership of the DNC.

Hogg was run out of the DNC earlier this year for his extreme views and yet a centrist slug like Carville says he would be a good choice for leader.

I do not necessarily disagree but beyond that I want to know what Carville’s game is….it is not at all like him to side with the more progressive Dems.

He is up to something….or he is got some sort of mental issue that comes with extreme age.
