    Fucking Harry S. Truman got why this shit was a problem.

    I’ve seen it happen time after time. When the Democratic candidate allows himself to be put on the defensive and starts apologizing for the New Deal and the fair Deal, and says he really doesn’t believe in them, he is sure to lose. The people don’t want a phony Democrat. If it’s a choice between a genuine Republican, and a Republican in Democratic clothing, the people will choose the genuine article, every time; that is, they will take a Republican before they will a phony Democrat, and I don’t want any phony Democratic candidates in this campaign. (May 17, 1952)

    Remember that if you are a real political party, your end goal is to enact policy. Winning election is just one mean (amongst many) to achieve that.

    Abandoning policy to win election means that you are an unserious political party, some would say a lifestyle brand

      The Uniparty have the same core policy as ever.
      Endless war and regime changes, unconditional support for Pissrael genociders, banks, multinationals and oligarchs.

    acknowledging public perception of the party as “weak and woke” needs to change. She is urging Democrats to “fucking retake the flag” with appeals to voters’ sense of patriotism, to adopt “the goddamn Alpha energy” of Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell and to embrace an “airing out” of potential 2028 presidential candidates in a broadly contested primary.

    Slotkin plans to deliver another speech — which is set to focus on “killing sacred cows” — sometime next month.

    “I don’t think we need to hide the fact that Trump is flooding the zone and making us look 12 different ways at the same time,” Slotkin said. “But again, because I come from the national security background, there’s no end to fighting unless you’re dead.”

    We’re trapped in the belly of this horrible machine

      Lol libs and adding “fuck” to sound tough

      Also the Lions lost to the racial stereotype team. Perfect analogy for 2028.

      The republicans ran a “she’s for they/them and not you” ad which convinced Democratic strategists that they cared too much about the queers. Also you’re evil and hate queers if you don’t vote for them.

      Literal CIA analyst. Bush-era psycho. Did three ‘active’ tours as CIA during that time & got shitcanned after the goldrush, ran a failed consultancy for less than two years & got picked up by the Dems as an asset.

        Was she the one on charge of Gitmo or Abu Ghraib? I think one of these CIA ghouls became a senator or joined Obama’s cabinet, I don’t remember.
