And aides reveal that Biden essentially wasn't running the country, but his administration sure shipped out a lot of bombs to support the war against women and children.
Regardless, I already know that you and I will likely not see eye to eye from past observance of your postings, and that's fine. You can imagine blood on my hands, and that's also fine. I did not mention the issue overseas directly ~~once~~ more than a handful of times in my postings until after the election, because I wanted to believe the Biden administration would shift after the tens of thousands of civilian deaths.
Bottom line, do you think the Democratic party should continue to be coddled, with all criticism silenced, while they have no winning strategy and even major donors have lost confidence?
There appear to be zero references of Palestine, Israel, or Netanyahu in that article. You've lost the argument so now you're just insulting the opposition?
You really don't get it. It doesn't matter how bad the DNC is, you're never going to accomplish anything by pointing all of that out, because the only alternative is the GOP and they are a thousand times worse in every regard you claim to care about.
Also, you claim they've lost donors, but they set records for campaign contributions in 2024.
...it'll never be bad enough for you.
The DNC could be a 1:1 copy of Trump and they'd still defend them.
They converge on that with every election.
Literally as Newsom is being basically appointed without consulting the public. And he's a right winger form 2008.
Where is the insult? We were quoting Biden officials, I thought it relevant to link that in response to you mentioning Biden swearing on the phone, which likely had zero impact. Biden wasn't fit for office or reelection, and the reason the Democrats lost is because he held on until the last minute, making a primary impossible. In no world would Kamala have won under the circumstances with her policies.
I'm not interested in winning arguments regarding critical subjects like this, but rather trying to get to the heart of your insistence to support a system that is blind and unwilling to represent its populace, who pay for the bombs that have killed many innocents.

The DNC has lost major donors.
Edit: And I did lie, not purposely, but alas. I mentioned the genocide twice or thrice prior to the election, with one instance garnering me one internet point and another losing me one. I remember doing my best to hold my tongue. I convinced no one to stay home as far as I am concerned, and even if I did somehow, that was their decision.
