They chose to throw progress and his contributions away.

Yes …

After working against him in the primary and the general, the 2008 DNC choose to not pick a DNC chair who shared Obama’s values after he failed to nominate one.

What’s more concerning than you thinking anyone wouldn’t be able to guess that’s what would happen, is you seem to be implying it’s the same DNC who finally learned their lesson and elected the most progressive chair in around 50 years…

Like, if you and I could figure out what the DNC was going to, why couldn’t Obama have?

The voters got behind Obama to save the party, he got what he wanted and said fuck it.

And people still kiss his nuts for getting us a more conservative version of the Republican healthcare plan.

For all our sake you need to start looking past a single letter and start reading some modern history books.

but then they failed to keep any inovations from that 8 year period (get out the vote, social media savy, youth outreach, etc. ) when Clinton came sweeping back in 2016 and wondered how they lost that momentum.

It’s not a secret why it shook out that way…

Obama held a grudge against the DNC as an organization, not just for siding with Hillary, but then not supporting him in the general.

Which lead to Obama being one of the first (might be the only) to not nominate a DNC chair.

So the people who worked against him, nominated one of their own.

And they repeated in 2012.

So if you’re wondering why Obama didn’t permanently change the party…

He just fucking choose not to. Voters did their part and he let us down out of personal pride to show he was more important than the party

And that let neoliberals hold onto the party till about 3 months ago. Clinton’s people didn’t have to sweep in, because they never had to leave

Bernie, AOC, and to a lesse degree Tim Waltz

And all three of them get snubbed by party leadership…

I am optimistic about the new DNC chair, but that’s still not enough. We need to start focusing on state chairs as well, but voters have literally zero say in any chair.

The Democratic party is fundamentally undemocratic.

It will never be an easy fix, or a good time to do it. But we should have fixed it decades ago, and fixing it now is better than fixing it in 2035.

We can’t waste the current DNC chair, but we also can’t assume he can fix anything except the next presidential primary and getting rid of the victory fund so state parties can put up a fight

What about a house rep who’s been in office 3 years makes you think of him as “an elected Dem in a leadership position”?

I did see this tho:

In July 2020, inspired by the George Floyd protests, a petition to recall Garcia was approved by the Long Beach City Clerk. Activists cited Garcia’s “immoral leadership” and financial support from the Long Beach Police Officers Association, the union that represents local police.[64] On November 9, 2020, the mayoral recall was canceled in the wake of the national election. Activist Franklin Sims claimed he and his supporters were being intimidated.[65]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Garcia_(California_congressman)

That’s not even getting into him literally being a Republican hiding behind a D:

Garcia was the California Youth Coordinator for George W. Bush’s 2000 presidential campaign.[49][50][51] He also founded the Long Beach Young Republicans in 2005. Describing himself as socially liberal and fiscally conservative, Garcia guided and organized the Young Republicans, which developed a charter that was recognized as an official club by the Los Angeles County Republicans.[52] Garcia also worked as an aide to Republican former vice mayor Frank Colonna when he was on the City Council and ran Colonna’s unsuccessful bid in the 2006 Long Beach, California mayoral election.[53]

The only reason he has a D is he couldn’t win with a R…

But that’s off topic:

What about a house rep who’s been in office 3 years makes you think of him as “an elected Dem in a leadership position”?

The judge noted that Adams requested a dismissal with prejudice, and that the DOJ had not opposed that motion, “effectively waiving any objection to permanent dismissal of this case.”

If he cared about, he’d have made noise about it not happening how he wanted…

Or more likely, had the DOJ oppose it

You’re stuck on “stick” being the only way one corrupt politician can I fluence another.

Adams would eat a carrot out of Trump’s ass, he doesn’t need a stick when the door is opened to more corruption.

For fucks sake, pay attention to more than a single letter

Dem voters in NYC?

Sure, they tend to always hate mayors in NYC because neoliberal primary donations ensure the Dem voters don’t have a good option in the general and Republicans have a chance

But name an elected Dem in a leadership position who has called for Adams’ resignation, I can wait.

this makes it less likely

Only if you think Adams is only doing all the stupid corrupt shit to make trump like him…

Sounds a lot more likely that he’s just a corrupt piece of shit like virtually every other NYC mayor or former NYPD. Especially since he was doing stupid corrupt shit when Biden was president

Trump wanted the case dismissed without prejudice.

Bolding something isn’t the same as linking a source…

Too many will celebrate because he has a D by his name, completely ignorant of the fact that high profile Dems not being held accountable for blatantly breaking laws hurts Dem turnout nationwide.

Adams walking will hurt Dems in the midterms, and give trumpets someone to point to and say his corruption makes trump’s ok.

The party has to meet the standards of its voters, and Dem voters will always have a higher standard than Republican voters.

That’s just life.

Your tldr immediately conflicts with your post…

A federal judge on Wednesday dismissed the criminal corruption case against New York City Mayor Eric Adams, nearly two months after the Trump administration controversially sought to drop the case.

The case was dismissed “with prejudice,” which means the Department of Justice is permanently barred from resurrecting the five-count indictment against Adams based on the same evidence used in the case in U.S. District Court in Manhattan.

trump wanted charges dropped, because Adams is kissing his ass.

Just because Adams has a D by his name, doesn’t mean he’s on the peoples side.

He’s an obviously corrupt piece of shit who was likely just bought off by trump to protect his NYC interests

But you’re acting like him getting off Scott free is a good thing

It’s been here…

For decades.

It’s good people are realizing it, but it sucks how many act like trump and assume since it took themselves this long to realize it, no one else has.

Just republican tier low empathy where they can’t understand others know something they don’t.

All they’re doing is telling on themselves it took till this point till they realized it.

To be an optimist, you have to plan for the worst case scenario

Blind optimism is the bad thing.

Ok…

That doesnt disagrees with anything I’ve said, and doesn’t answer my question…

But I appreciate that you didn’t just type “this” with a bunch of emojis.

Well that laughable when directed towards me…

But does highlight how no one can answer that question still

It matters only insofar as Kramer is exactly the kind of person who MAGA thinks is really smart

They are not watching him on CNBC…

It’s Karen esque suburban voters that watch him, the people who legitimately couldn’t think of a “better” candidate than Hillary, Biden, or Harris.

They are not maga, they’re Republicans who don’t like the name and have spent 30 years trying to make Dems into Reagan era Republicans

Are you one of those people who think Dem politicians are a united block?

I keep asking those people why/how they could hold that opinion despite all evidence pointing to the contrary, but none ever do.

If you have the time to answer I’m genuinely interested in why you’d hold such a belief.

Jim Cramer is fucking stupid and it really doesn’t matter what he says, even when he randomly says a true thing

Federal government has already had their own for years…

He borrowed money to buy twitter.

It had just gotten a very bad valuation, which might have led the people he borrowed from to change terms or take collateral.

By doing this, he set the “value” at 33 billion because that’s what his other country just paid for it.

It’s a house of cards where if any of his projects goes under, they all will.

While this is a short term help, it’s going to make people less likely to invest in xai because it’s propping up twitter.

If that was the only issue. Wouldn’t the right (which they claim is a majority) just buy Tesla at this price point?

Are these posts from non-Americans that don’t know how our shitty system works?

Are actual American voters ignorant enough to make these?

Or just bots?
