So let me get this straight:

USA and Israel vs Iran

Trump and Putin are basically best buds

Russia is providing Iran with drones

So this is just one big circle jerk war?

Bonus connection:

Trump/Vance wants Orban to win so Vance goes to Hungary to stump for him.

Orban is a Russian puppet trying to undermine the EU.

Netanyahu and Orban are best buds, Orban says he would leave the ICC when he wins the election

Orban reached out to Iran in 2024 offering aid, raising questions about current ties.

Should we just convert to a Trump Cease Fire metric (TCF for short) instead of Scaramucci’s now?

Except, that’s not how it will play out.

They need x number of ballots to overturn the will of the people. They will then look through all of the ballots and find “anamolies” that they will point to as fraudulent like a circle not fully filled in (see “hanging chads”) and use that as the basis to throw that ballot out.

Rinse and repeat until x number of ballots have been tossed out, and oh would you look at that, they won! Pretty fucking convenient!

And just like Florida in 2000, when the ballots in question are being relooked at by a neutral party, some douchbags in collared shirts and khakis start rioting outside the facility and “oh no, for safety of the people inside the count has to stop” by court order passed down from a judge; the same judge that signed this warrant in the first place.

And on up to the Supreme Court it goes, which guess what happens there. Check out the Brooks Brothers riot, and look at some of the familiar faces in there.

Fuck that, challenge this in courts before it gets to that point. Then vote this sheriff and judge out as soon as possible.

Right. So we just need Congress to do something it doesn’t want to do.

The purpose of a system is what it does.

I swear, this midterm is going to end up with another 45-50% voter turn out and people will continue to complain that nothing changes or has gotten worse.

People: IF YOUR VOTE DIDN’T MATTER, THEY WOULDN’T BE SPENDING SO MUCH MONEY AND EFFORT TO KEEP YOU FROM VOTING!

I don’t care if you live in a +60 (your political leaning) district. Vote in spite of that and make it +61.

Vote in every god damn election you fucking can, down to School District Board elections and even HOA’s. My city councilman just lost reelection by 1 fucking vote to some douchbag who will probably get bought out by some data center asshole within a week, and even though turn out was historically high, it was still only 18-20%. And when i asked my very liberal neighbor if she and her husband voted, she said “No, we just didn’t have time”. 🤦🏻

At least in my area, you are allowed to take time away from work to vote, it doesn’t matter what the election is for.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS AND FUCKING USE THEM!

And this is why true grass roots movements are so powerful, instead of co-opted movements. Our local election cycles just finished, and there were some decent changes that occurred with city council members, who voted in favor of data centers, getting handed their asses. But guess what. The turn out was record setting, yet abysmal, sitting somewhere around 18-22%. You start putting in real progressives into positions of power, and not fake ones, and changes start to be made (a full on data center blockade is in the works), which gets people to realize they actually have influence, which they then get more involved, and increases turn out in the next election.

We need to send a message to these centrist Democrats so they realize they need us WAY more than we need them or their pandering to fascists for money.

The next fix i would say is that news media needs to become federated and/or open sourced. I’m not sure what this looks like, but probably something like a mix of Ground News (i currently pay monthly for btw) and Patreon, where journalist post their stories to a decentralized platform, that people subscribe to them. Idk, that sounds like that could get clickbait-y. But i would be willing to cut a streaming service off, and give some of that to something that’s decentralized and not owned by some billionaire handing down memos about what can or cannot be mentioned in a story, or straight up axing a story all together.

Then we keep hammering at the injustices and calling the leadership out and spreading the word, and putting up better progressives in the next election cycle.

But to answer the original OP’s question, like you, i don’t think the current Dem leadership has the spine to actually prosecute Trump or any of his cronies and billionaire Epstein buddies, or take a few pages from Trump’s play book and go the low road to hold those fake news organizations liable for things they say erroneously, or to prosecute corrupt foreign governments who helped facilitate this current mess.

Progressives should continue putting forth bills and amendments that force Dem leadership’s hand to show the people how they vote, which to no one’s surprise, it’ll be the same handful of useful rotational idiots. Then progressives should spend every cent raised campaigning in those districts to primary every one of them.
