I think I’d have better luck winning the Powerball than what he wants Democrats to be.

    To be fair JB has been fantastic for the state of IL, and the people that there regardless, and often, in spite of wealth/social status.

      Yeah I’m just not seeing this end in any good way for common people. Theres not enough resistance, maybe there can’t be, to this daily tsunami of absurdity and cruelty.

        The common people - specifically Democratic voters - need to wake up to the fact that the Democratic establishment is also our enemy. All the energy resisting Trump is outside the Democratic establishment. They stand far more in opposition to progressives than to Trump. They are with the oligarchs, and they have proven multiple times that they prefer a Trump presidency to a Bernie presidency.

        We won’t beat the fascists until we beat the neoliberals. With their neoliberal protectors gone, the fascists will collapse.

          We need to follow David’s advice about primary-ing corporate Democrat incumbents that won’t do anything except fight progressives and their candidates. Notice how that proposal got the Democrats to perk up and denounce that idea immediately? They literally prove, everyday, why they are unfit to represent anyone but themselves and their monied masters.

          Chuck giving up leverage and other Democrats voting for tRump cabinet picks are all reps that need to go. Resign or we will make you resign! That’s if we have free and hair elections again.
