Bombs vs bombs with rainbow flags.
It's June, so the democrat cop should have a pride pin.
That depends entirely on who we vote for in the primaries.
See: Zohran Mamdani for an example
To be fair, Mamdani is facing massive backlash from the Dem establishment.
That's the thing; most democrat politicians hate him nearly as much as the republican ones do, as they're more similar to one another than either is to him. There are a few exceptions, but we're going to need people aligned with Mamdani to be the norm rather than the exception if we want the democratic party to become a real force for good.
I doubt it's possible for the DNC to be a force for good, better to have a new party entirely.
I know you know better comrade.
They're stuck in the endless loop of trying to fix something that's broken, while it's functioning perfectly at keeping the status quo.
When I read that, again 🙄, I like to post this, from 1871
"It is well known that the Americans have been striving for 30 years to shake off this yoke, which has become intolerable, and that in spite of all they can do they continue to sink ever deeper in this swamp of corruption. It is precisely in America that we see best how there takes place this process of the state power making itself independent in relation to society, whose mere instrument it was originally intended to be. "
..."we find here two great gangs of political speculators, who alternately take possession of the state power and exploit it by the most corrupt means and for the most corrupt ends – and the nation is powerless against these two great cartels of politicians, who are ostensibly its servants, but in reality exploit and plunder it.

Why? The party is dead. They're just holding onto their seats
Take the seats, you take it all. Keep the infrastructure of the party, keep the name recognition and the data they have, and replace the members
It's happening already - Hoggs funneled money into Mumdani's primary even as they try to ratfuck him out...
If the party is dead, why rely on a party designed from the ground up to serve wealthy donors? Entryism doesn't work.

That doesn’t matter at all. He won the primary with a grassroots campaign, so he doesn’t need their funding. Being in the blue/Working Families column will win the know-nothing vote in NYC.
The key is for us to seek out the progressive on the primary ballot and vote. We shouldn’t be rewarding the candidates that have the financial means to find us in our living rooms. Sign up for mailers if you forget to vote. Sign up for mail-in ballots if you have an irregular schedule.
It's less about funding, and more about the fuckery they can do by making Cuomo run as an independent. Electoralism will never be the permanent answer, revolution is still necessary, but Mamdani is still good for now.

The Democratic party is terrified of that dude. Primary all of them.
100%. There are primaries all the time. The only difference with Zohran is we showed up.
And because he won that primary 2 other mainstream "Dems" are going to be challenging him in the General as well.

Not exactly. The mass pig expansion program across the country in the 1990s was spearheaded by Bill Clinton. The pro pig Dems are just as actively racist and murderous as the pro pig Reps.
Please report any genocide denying US democrats below. They set up shop on a lot of the fediverse, but we don't have to provide them a space here.
Two cheeks on the same ass.
two balls on the same cock
Careful you're going to make Godric very angry and he will have to be the adult in the room
Yeah. But also a quick test to see how far gone American society is: if the Dems get elected it means that, at least for the sake of optics and spin, morals play some sort of role still.
Don't kid yourself. Rich Democrats love dirty cops.

I can't tell what on the left is doing. Someone help?
If you are being serious that's Derek Chauvin murdering George Floyd
I was. Never saw photo before thanks for helping
From Wikipedia:
And the guy representing the DNC is Tou Thao, who prevented onlookers from intervening in the murder. Highly appropriate meme.
