      The Democrats further cozying up with the people who created the environment that spawned Trump is confirming what we already know about them being a right wing party.

          It doesn’t really, it says there’s a handful of pastors who are running against the norm. It even lauds a service that connect Christians with non-maga Republicans.

            From Texas and Iowa to Arkansas, faith leaders are wading into politics to counter the rise of Christian nationalism

            I can’t diagram sentences on Lemmy but you get the idea.

            Anyway the point is, where’s the socialists? Where’s the free Palestine left? Why aren’t they making news by running for office? Pull a Mamdani in Oklahoma? South Carolina? Somewhere?

            Is it because there aren’t any? Or what?

              So where’s the Mamdani’s?

              And as to why there isn’t as many, well uh because the Dems/DNC shits on them at every chance and try to sabotage them? It’s a pretty different treatment to the arms wide open adoption of cener-rightists that they prefer.

                You’d think the alleged shitting would also generate some press of some sort though.

                I think it’s just because no one who answers that description is running. Yet, anyway.

                  Who is Omar Fateh?

                  It’s tiring, people refuse to notice or pay attention to the cases where the DNC/Dems fuck over leftists and instead we get this repeated myth that no leftists ever try to run.

        They only got to read it four hundred years ago, but even then it was pretty freaky yet boring. And also they hate reading. They’d rather the obese brylcreemed gentleman explain it all authoritatively like.

    The David Frum quote works even if you replace “Democracy” with “Religion.” The only thing they won’t abandon is subjugating and oppressing others.
