Sanseito touts 'Japanese First' rhetoric to gain support
Some observers say conservative voters who left the Democratic Party for the People are turning to the fledgling opposition party by default.

If you want to know why a Democratic Senator and Representative in Minnesota were shot...
It might have something to do with the fact that their deaths would end the Democratic majorities in both chambers.

It is so obvious. Why isn't a new, liberal Democratic Party being founded in the #USA?
Forget the #Democrats. They have shown themselves to be completely incapable in the current enormous crisis. They are afraid for their sinecures, act tactically and the welfare of the citizens is as little important …

Randi Weingarten, the longtime leader of one of the nation’s most influential labor unions and a major voice in Democratic politics,
has resigned from the Democratic National Committee.
She pointed to disagreements with the party’s new chairman, Ken Martin.
Ms. Weingarten, the president of the American Federation of Teachers, had supported Mr. Martin’s rival in the chairmanship race early this year,
Ben Wikler, the chairman of the Wisconsin Democratic Party.
Mr. …

Randi Weingarten Quits D.N.C. Post in Dispute With Chairman
In a letter to the party’s chairman, Ken Martin, Ms. Weingarten wrote, “I appear to be out of step with the leadership you are forging.”

The party whose base believes there's a secret network of politically-connected child-abusers... should probably avoid these headlines.

Does the Democratic Party need to register a $45 million in-kind political donation for today’s fiasco?

"The Democratic Party is ripe for a takeover"
Yup, I am also disgusted with the D-party. The "leadership" is so out-of-touch, so cowardly, and so into tunnel-vision vote-losing "identity" issues that unless there is a root-to-branch change, the D-party will never again win a national election, and will lose more state elections.
(I would add that those identity-politics issues are quite important, but until the D-party wins some elections little to …

Solnit: "It's...routine to blame the Democratic Party for what the Republican Party does. The two parties are unconsciously regarded as akin to a husband and wife in a traditional marriage in which it's the job of the wife to placate and soothe the husband and help him realize his goals or be held responsible for his outbursts and outrages."

The Democratic Party Is Literally Dying
The dead hand of gerontocracy is also a symptom of ideological malaise.

Is it me, or should the fact that the President of the United States is openly stating he'll reverse the result of the democratic election in New York City not getting the attention it deserves?
I mean, even Richard Nixon wouldn't do that. Even the stunningly corrupt Lyndon Johnson wouldn't do that. Weirdly immoral Bill Clinton would never have considered it.

China issues warrants for alleged Taiwanese hackers and bans a business for pro-independence links
China has issued warrants Thursday for 20 Taiwanese people it said carried out hacking missions in the Chinese mainland on behalf of Taiwan’s ruling party, while separately banning dealings with a Taiwanese company whose owners mainland authorities called “hardcore Taiwan independence supporters.” Police in the southern manufacturing hub of Guangzhou said they were led by a man named Ning Enwei on behalf of Taiwan’s independence-leaning Democratic Progressive Party but did not identify …

Former Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang
said he’s reached out to Elon Musk
in hopes of collaborating on the creation of a new political party,
Yang, along with mutual friends, believes the Tesla CEO has what it takes to form a new faction that propels America’s strongest leaders. ($$$$)
When asked if Musk has responded to his inquiry, Yang told the outlet “Not yet, but I assume he’s been very busy.”

David Hogg, the young vice-chair of the Democratic National Committee whose vow to unseat “asleep-at-the-wheel” Democrats roiled his party,
said on Wednesday that he would step away from the high-ranking role in a move that ends months of internal infighting.
Moments before Hogg announced his decision, members of the committee had voted to hold new vice-chair elections that could have led to his ouster.

Do you think Democratic Party politicians are the same as Republican politicians?
For the budget reconciliation bill, all 45 Dem Senators ( independents King & Sanders) voted against it.
Vote was split 50/50, requiring VP Vance to break the tie.
If just one of the 50 Rs that voted for it had been replaced in the last election with a D, it's clear the bill in its current form would not have passed.

We are barely 6 months into #TheAmericanFascist Presidency and we already find ourselves with fundamental rights in the American Constitution under direct threat and the power of the judiciary to enforce and check the power of the President being pulled back.
And Democratic Party members seem to be all talk and very very little action or leadership to counter this.
Are they waiting for the midterms to take back Congress?
At this pace, surely they see the risk that there may not BE midterms. Or that the results are negated, disputed or invalidated.
I can’t fathom how they are not removing themselves from Congress now in protest and calling for a general protest/strike of all freedom loving Americans to restore the constitution, force the Trump appointed fascist enabling judges to resign, and force Trump and his Administration to go.
July 4th is coming. Independence Day? Or not? Democracy or not?

I got this post by @… in my email today, it was forwarded while it still was attributed to Liz Cheney with this preface which I agree with:
"When she was in Congress, I disagreed with almost everything she said and every vote she made. But on the transcendent issue of our time — protecting our democracy from Trump and the forces of authoritarianism and fascism — Liz Cheney has been correct, clear, and courageous."
Turns out the message is not by Liz Cheney but is well worth reading as a kick in the ass to the Democratic Party.

Zohran Mamdani’s apparent victory late Tuesday night represented a sharp rebuke of the Democratic Party establishment
It represented, he said, the ascendance of a new Democratic coalition, one that prioritized the needs of the working class over those of the elite.
“We have won because New Yorkers have stood up for a city they can afford,” he said.
“A city where they can do more than just struggle. One where those who toil in the night can enjoy the fruits of their labor in…

In Joyful Speech, Mamdani Vows to Work for ‘Each and Every New Yorker’
A crowd in Queens celebrated the triumph of Zohran Mamdani, the presumptive winner of the Democratic primary for mayor of New York City.

Interesting that while Abundant SF's head is taking shots at Zohran, Abundance New York endorsed him.
(Fifth, but they still favored him over Cuomo. They said "Zohran Mamdani is more likely to prioritize the central crises facing New Yorkers.")

America’s democratic collapse has been coming for years, always just over the horizon.
But when everything that happened during Trump’s first three months in office happened and

Establishment Democrats worked overtime to oppose progressive upstart Zohran Mamdani in New York City’s mayoral primary race
— and yet, claim to be baffled over why the Democratic Party is losing support, freshly ousted Democratic activist David Hogg said in a fiery post on Monday.
“The same establishment that is spending millions to destroy Zohran will say in a few months that we need to spend millions on polling and testing to win back young people.
Open your god damn eyes…

David Hogg: Same Democrats Opposing Mamdani Question Why Party’s Losing Young Voters
Democratic operatives are spending big on consultants in attempts to win back support.

On the day after Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani emerged as the likely Democratic nominee for mayor of New York City, Representative Jerrold Nadler endorsed him in November’s general election, giving Mr. Mamdani a key measure of support from one of the city’s most prominent Jewish leaders.
Mr. Nadler, a Democrat, said Wednesday that Mr. Mamdani’s apparent victory was a “seismic election for the Democratic Party that I can only compare to Barack Obama’s in 2008.”

See how the game works?
Republicans have long instinctively understood, far better than their oft-bumbling opponents,
that capturing the language is crucially important.
When you do that, when you frame the terms of debate,
you have a darn good shot at winning hearts and minds. Particularly weak minds.
I’ll leave it to the shrinks to diagnose the passivity of the Democratic mindset,
to try to fathom why the blue party has long allowed "class warfare&qu…

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz says Democrats need to take a page from Donald Trump’s own playbook.
“Maybe it’s time for us to be a little meaner,” the former vice presidential hopeful said during a speech at the South Carolina Democratic Party’s annual convention in Columbia, South Carolina.
“Maybe it’s time for us to be a little more fierce because we have to ferociously push back on this.”
“When it’s a bully like Donald Trump, you bully the s--t out of him,” Walz added

The irony is if the Twitter Nazi splits the Republican Party in two to make a National Republican Party to counter #TheAmericanFascist Republicans “Big Beautiful Bill” then that could open up more room for the Democratic Socialists to make their own party split from the Democrats and all of a sudden the USA could have 4 viable parties. Imagine that. A multiparty system! The most democratic shift in the US Congress since 1776?! Initiated by a 21st Century Fascist.
But of course… that’s way too optimistic…
