    We've been over this time and time again. You always get me confused with some other poster on these boards. However, If I post anything you believe is garbage, it should be no problem to point out the issues with what I post. Most of what I do is post replies to others. I hardly ever post Xweets, or highly edited content. You calling names and not addressing any issues serves no purpose

    Jared Kushner Is Back, and His Imprint Is All Over the Gaza Deal
    The president’s son-in-law has also been influencing the administration in other ways behind the scenes

    Democrats need more candidates like Helena Moreno, new mayor of New Orleans.

    House Democrat Clique Eyes 2028 John Fetterman Ouster: Axios

    https://www.mediaite.com/media/news/house-democrat-clique-eyes-2028-john-fetterman-ouster-axios/

    excerpt:

    Top Democrats in Pennsylvania are reportedly circling Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) and plotting a potential primary challenge with the goal of ousting the lawmaker.

    Fetterman has become the subject of criticism among Democrats for his maverick, softer approach to President Donald Trump and some of his policies, which often break party lines.

    Possible contenders, according to Axios, include Rep. Chris Deluzio (D-PA), who is quietly building a populist Rust Belt profile, and aggressive Fetterman critic Rep. Brendan Boyle (D-PA) who branded him “Trump’s favorite Democrat” and accused the senator of “kissing the ring” with a Mar-a-Lago visit earlier this year.

    Former Democratic congressman Conor Lamb is also drawing progressive praise for taking shots.

    Fetterman, however, still remains popular across the state where he’s held a seat since 2022.

    It’s 2025, and Democrats Are Still Running Against Trump
    In New Jersey, Virginia and beyond, voters have been inundated with ads linking Republican candidates to the president. Some Democratic strategists see a missed opportunity to forge a more positive message.

    https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/19/...e_code=1.uk8.lfle.uHHLcGXGgtCa&smid=url-share

    excerpt:

    After a year of soul-searching and introspection by Democrats about what they should stand for after losing the White House and Senate in 2024, the party is largely coalescing behind the same message that has united it for the past decade: stopping Donald J. Trump.

    From coast to coast, the tactical decision to continue centering Mr. Trump in advertising in the closing stretch of 2025 contests has left some party strategists concerned about a missed opportunity to forge a more forward-looking vision.

    “I worry that Donald Trump is like crack cocaine for our party,” said Celinda Lake, a veteran Democratic pollster.

    It's not a strategy new to this election or one particular party. I don't know if it's the right or wrong strategy. Democrats do need to move toward fresh candidates and strategies over all. They have an opportunity to bring in younger voters. But they don't seem to be reaching out in a concerted effort to do that.

    Speaking as someone who lives in northern Virginia, the party would be stupid to not run against Trump in this election. His administration has made life here incredibly difficult for a ton of people and this is the part of the state that drives Democratic voter turnout.

    I understand that, but there's smart political strategy and then there's crack cocaine political obsession. I think the obsession/derangement is a real problem for Democrats . . . Dems have been chanting the same mantra since 2016, and from the outside looking in it doesn't seem to be working

    Who cares if she’s “from the hood”?

    Sounds like she never left.

    I agree for the most part. But, all races are local and Trump's local impact to Virginia has been outsized compared to other places.

    The guy is literally taking a bulldozer to the white house, and figuratively is destroying our democracy as we speak. Your attempt here to get in the minds of Democrats to self censor the negative reaction to that is lazy, and insulting to our intelligence.

    People need to understand that everything you do here is an activist attempt to manipulate, and gaslight. Every single post is purposeful in an attempt to help MAGA. You think you are clever in the way that you do it via the Bari Weiss/Dems bad/don't look over at Trump methodology, but this schtick is getting really really fcking old.

    In no world does it make sense to ignore Trump, and what he is doing. If we stop looking at Trump, and normalize his attempts to seize absolute power is exactly what Trump wants.

    How does it make you feel to know that NOBODY on this board does more to forward MAGA propaganda, and promote Trump more than you?? You do FAR more because of the manipulative efforts you attempt than the straightforward MAGA voters like BigTexx, Commodore, etc.

    I just want to know what you think you are getting out of it. If Trump's campaign isn't paying you they damn well should.
