Summary
Days before the third anniversary of Russia’s invasion, Ukrainians find unity threatened not just by Russia but also shifting U.S. support.
Donald Trump’s false labeling of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as a “dictator” has provoked fierce backlash, even from Zelenskyy’s critics, who now rally around him.
With ongoing Russian attacks and Ukrainian forces stretched thin, Trump’s suggestion of a swift end to hostilities raises fears of concessions favoring Russia.
Officials argue that elections amid war would undermine Ukraine’s sovereignty. Many vow to continue resisting, regardless of major foreign policy changes.
And these people consistently vote.
That’s the thing that people on the Left need to understand.
Voting matters.
The MAGoos vote in every election.
Until the Left makes voting a priority the MAGoos will always have the advantage.
Yeah, but that might be because Trump panders to the ideologically radical part of their base and promises a vision of the US that is different than how it looks like. I sincerely think he represents hope for change to those people, however fucked up that is.
You guys need a leftist Trump, not the mentally disabled part, but the “actually fights for an ideology and vision” part. Like pack the courts, make Republicans fight in the courts to strike down unconstitutional orders for socialized healthcare, appoint an AG that puts people like Trump in prison, or just well… do something.
Old bit of political wisdom.
“The Dems fall in love and the GOP falls in line.”
Bill Clinton would have wiped the floor with George Bush Jr. but Al Gore, with the exact same policies as Bill was edged out. [let’s not get into the SCOTUS, Bill would have taken plenty of states W. took]
To be honest it feels more like the DNC fails to fall in line with the direction the Dem base falls in love with. Unlike the RNC.
Trump could take over the RNC, people like Bernie couldn’t do so with the DNC.
Look at Obama. When he went up against Hilary in 2008 no one thought he had a chance.
The problem Bernie had was that he personally couldn’t do the level of organizing it would have taken. Sadly, none of his people stepped up and took the reins.
I contributed to Bernie three times, and three times I saw it sputter out.
