lol, this is base obeisance in hopes that their target demographic will forget how hard and long they fought to keep their tractors illegal to repair outside authorized dealers.
I could believe an argument from JD such as “we’ll spend more time working on our product rather than diversity awareness events”… if they weren’t spending all their time counting money they earned from leaving farmers high and dry when their shit breaks down.
Oh no this is so they become the official American Tractor corporation and can get preferential treatment from the Trump administration. Political analysts who advise businesses are telling them to hedge heavily for Trump. If he loses then so what? The Democrats don’t punish companies for stuff like this. If he wins, you have an inside track.
He was the frontrunner until all the establishment candidates except Biden dropped in a single afternoon. I voted Bernie, but it's unfair to call his lead anything but a plurality in the early phases of the primary season.
The worst part of it was that winning with a plurality was their plan. Even if the others stayed in, then he just loses at the convention, because it’s a contested convention and he still doesn’t have a majority.
Uh huh. Voting against someone who had proven that he wants to be a dictator and who had tried to overturn a fair election is "driving our democracy right off the cliff".
By the way, democracy shouldn't be capitalized. It's a concept, not a political party.
Why does every picture of her have her with her mouth open like she’s either screaming or waiting to have something stuffed in it. Like filth encrusted socks.
They’re also about to make massive layoffs (many employees report not knowing whether they’re on the list for next Wednesday (IIRC)), so they apparently aren’t doing well as a going concern. I don’t know whether there’s any connection beyond close timing.
They are doing fine. They are moving the jobs to Mexico. That’s what nafta allows them to do. Biden should declare it a national security issue and tell them they can’t do it.
They also thought Hilary was going to win in a landslide. It’s laughable how dumb the DNC is and how they think they know so much better than the American population. The primaries happened l. It’s over. He’s who we’re stuck with
Not guaranteed, it looks bleak but this has been one weird ass election season. I mean fuck, Trump nearly getting killed somehow didn't affect the polls, plus both Trump and Biden could easily drop dead at any day of natural causes (including illness) just because of sheer age
Only thing I can really say for certain is vote as if your life depends on it, have an escape plan prepared, and be prepared for a potential civil war because seriously what the hell is this election
The primary was genuine. The DNC candidate support was not.
Had they provided Bernie with the same media coverage and platform of support as Hillary, the passively informed wouldn’t have seen him as “the socialist who wants you to pay for other people’s kids to go to college.”
It would be nice if MSNBC didn’t go on about Bernie literally executing them using the old Communist tropes too… Between corporate media and the DNC real candidates that aren’t just neolib assholes will never get a fair shake.
Absolutely. Not to mention Cambridge Analytica’s manipulation of Facebook users through psychographic profiling having a huge influence on the boomers.
I heard from media how aloof Bernie was. Then I heard him speak and talk to people during events and learned he was much less aloof than they made him out to be. All part of the business as usual party.
I think you may be mistaken if you’re implying that the DNC is the entity that is trying to get Biden to step aside.
The DNC is currently engaged in an all-out effort to lock Biden in by getting delegates to commit before convention. Those who are trying to get him to step aside, on the other hand, are a bunch of Democratic congressional representatives, donors, and other party figures – not the national party committee itself.
Edit – just since yesterday, apparently the DNC has dropped its plan to hold the “roll call” by which they were going to get their delegates committed before August. A group of Democratic senators who had written and co-signed a letter in protest of that activity have withdrawn the letter, saying their purpose is achieved (i.e., saying the DNC isn’t going ahead with the bullshit). But now maybe all bets are off since the president has contracted COVID?
They did this to us, they deserve it. They have been doing it for decades to protect neolib rule and have set up the “lesser of two evils” bs for my entire life. I’m sure your namesake isn’t very happy with them either.
I’m not privileged in the slightest, I’m incredibly pissed off that we’re going to have to go through this because of them. I’m pissed off for all the people who will absolutely suffer because of them.

Is what you could say to the literal fascists trying to take over the country, but no, instead you’d rather criticize elected liberals because they aren’t fighting in exactly the way you want then to fight.
You can’t blame a wolf for being a wolf. Republican fascists are a lost cause, they’re the wolves acting like wolves. Of course I’m pissed at them, but it really feels like the DNC is trying to cling on to the old ways so hard that they’re willing to damn us all.
They could be better if they gave a shit about people. I dont think Republicans can be better than they are. They are finally allowed to take the mask off and be who they always were.
Then get rid of the wolf, once the wolf is gone you can start your fight with the person you think was too timid in fighting the wolf, but until you get rid of the wolf, every time you stop to chastise the timid, the wolf gets an opportunity to strike.
The primaries happened l. It’s over. He’s who we’re stuck with
With these leaked conversations from Pelosi, Schumer, and Jefferies, it doesn’t seem like the party thinks he’s the candidate they’re stuck with. Seems even the leadership feels they were kept in the dark about Biden’s current state through the primaries.
My question is, who is ride or die for Biden at this point? The people I know on the left are voting against Trump, rather than for Biden or even for a Democrat, and have said they would vote for just about any Democrat with a pulse to beat Trump.
Is it the moderates? Maybe in 2020, when Biden was the familiar voice of reason running against a proven conman with four years of endless headlines of corruption and destruction of norms. But that’s not what people have stored in their recent memory this time around, and it’s not the Biden we have now. He can’t string together a lucid rebuttal to the practiced silver tongue that seems to have half of America fooled.
This late in the game, the only way I see the Democrats beating Trump is if they win the same moderate voters who were sick of the uncertainty and disruptions of the Trump presidency, and Biden can’t seem to coherently communicate the dangers of returning to that anymore. The Democrats need to put forward a candidate that remembers both the start of their sentences and points they were trying to make by the time they reach the end, even after 8pm.
