Democratic (Party) Direction

fuck off, Ax

god, the convention is going to be such a fucking nightmare, I hope Brandon Johnson is actually a decent person. If I were him I'd send his family out of town to protect them from CPD.

I don't get why ppl are blaming Biden and the Democratic Party for the actions of the Columbia University administration

Let alone the state of Israel!

piece of shit

Let alone the state of Israel!

I think the table is the broadly correct here. Biden's seeming inability to exercise any kind of control over Israel's actions is somewhat incongruous with the various conditions imposed on Ukraine in what they can use, where they can use it, when they can use it. The disparity between the former and the latter is particularly striking, and I think its fair to say this is something which lands on Biden's desk, the complete disregard for the concept of leverage that is so readily available in another context. But this is the problem with the idea of "unconditional support"

I think as far as Colombia goes, thats on them not Biden

I don't think the campus protests and the ridiculous reactions are good for Biden as it might peel away his "coalition" from both sides. I don't blame the protestors for that though.

have the White House put out a statement about UCLA yet or do they only weigh in when property is threatened?

Today’s Republicans are all about dominance. They embrace us-versus-them framing, double down on controversial statements and take risks. Today’s Democrats often recoil from “othering” opponents and back down after ruffling feathers. They have grown obsessively risk-averse, poll-driven, allergic to engaging on hot-button issues (except perhaps abortion) — and more than a little boring.

He's not wrong. Democrats seem to miss every opportunity to kick Republicans in the balls, unless it's at the White House Correspondents' Dinner or some other sanctioned, don't-worry-it's-all-just-a-game event.

its baffling like you have zero chance at actually peeling away Republican votes but showing a little fire and a willingness to bend the rules Republicans are intent on flagrantly breaking could definitely help you on a lot of fringes. its like they don't realize this is war

I think there is zero doubt that D's have been peeling away Republican votes in the Milwaukee suburbs.
