For those keeping score at home Neera Tanden has hired not one but two architects of US support for the Gaza genocide, Tony Blinken and Jon Finer, the former of whom actively covered up reports of Israeli war crimes so he could ship them weapons while they killed 20,000+ children

I think more than “terrorist” the word “authoritarian” has become the central load-bearing cliche of our time. In this worldview genocide is not authoritarian but qualified praise of China is. I think to most morally healthy people this cheesy Atlanticism increasingly rings false

“Democrats trying to normalize Piker are making a mistake. He is not just a cool, edgy guy who wants universal health care. Nor is he disliked simply because he speaks up for Palestinians, as his supporters would claim. The core problem with Hasan Piker is that he is, at the most basic level, an ideological authoritarian. He promotes violence and repression whenever that violence and repression have a socialist lean.” thedispatch.com/article/hasan-…

DNC Chair Ken Martin went on Pod Save America this week to justify burying his party’s 200-page autopsy on 2024 — the report some on his team say shows that Biden’s Gaza policy cost Harris the election. Meanwhile, Graham Platner — the Maine Senate candidate polling 40 points ahead of his primary opponents, outraising Susan Collins, and running on small-dollar donations — told Jon Stewart that DNC leadership hasn’t reached out to ask why he’s winning. The Democratic Party leadership won’t examine why it lost in 2024, and isn’t curious why a candidate is winning by 40 points in 2026. “It’s the lack of curiosity… that bothers me,” Platner said.

Honestly not even a Platner fan really but Chuck Schumer forcing Janet Mills into the race only for her to eat shit this badly is political malpractice and proof all by itself that he needs to step down.

People may look at this and think “man this is an odd thing to prioritize while our country falls apart” but here’s what’s important to understand: Piker doesnt have a boss and, absent that, the smear campaign must escalate until he’s not invited back by NYT or the Pod Saves guys

Representatives Mike Lawler (R) and Josh Gottheimer (D) introduce resolution to US House to condemn Hasan Piker for antisemitism The resolution states, "Piker has expressed support for Hamas on multiple occasions, and claims Hamas is “a thousand times better than Israel”

Re: Ken Martin refusing to release the DNC's 2024 autopsy, we've talked about the Gaza angle, but I think there's actually a more central issue. We gave them a billion dollars. A ton of Dem consultants made a FORTUNE from this loss, and they do NOT want to be held to account.

So DNC Chair Ken Martin lied when he ran on publishing the full 2024 Election Autopsy Report, then he lied about instead releasing an "executive summary" of the report, and now he's saying he's already released the summary in the form of "lessons" that only a few select donors get to hear. Treating voters like they're idiots is a Dem staple, but doing it to THE Pod Jon is wild, this guy might actually be some sort of genuine psychopath.

the entire establishment wing of the party either chose not to endorse Zohran, or tacitly supported the right wing spoiler candidacy of andrew cuomo. kristin gillibrand called Z a jihadist!!!!! chuck schumer never endorsed him! also, janet mills HASNT ENDORSED platner yet!!!

Something you're seeing today is that one of the signature characteristics of the left insurgents is they are very graceless about winning. They got what they wanted in Maine, but instead of pivoting to bring people in and beat Susan Collins they're doing ongoing factionalism.

Tbt when Dem strategists, trying to find a "Joe Rogan of the left" vowed to leave behind the "hall monitor style of Dem politics that turns off younger audiences." A year on, they've run a month-long campaign to cancel a Twitch streamer wildly popular w/ young people.

Useless identity politics, a fundamental misunderstanding of power in America, telling your constituents they’re not equal to you, clearly not learning anything from her embarrassing senate run - it’s just incredible lmfao

Giving consultant-class morons like this guy decision-making authority is exactly why Democrats lose. And then they block evidence of their failures to maintain job security! I'd be less averse to Kamala being the nominee again if she'd actually name names of who borked the last campaign but she can't even manage that! 🥴
