Not how it works. Gestures, like words, have a meaning. Even in the USA, saying certain words in certain ways can get you arrested, harassment, threats, etc. This gesture is meant to convey threat and to harass religious and racial minorities. There is no other reason to make the gesture.
I am not saying that they are losing on purpose. I’m saying that they are making decisions about policies and candidates based on fund raising rather than on attracting voters. On purpose or not, they did shoot themselves in the foot by courting disaffected Republican voters. Everyone knew they were not going to win a lot of those voters, but they sure did rake in a lot of dough. I believe that is their primary motivation.
It is absolutely clear now. The DNC is a private company whose main function is to fund raise, period. If they also win an election then that’s great, but if it comes to a choice between winning and raising money, they will choose raising money. They will never move to the left to win voters if it will cost them fund raising opportunities from the center and right.
Mike Davis
Perhaps the username The Moron was already taken.
There have been no reliable claims that he has actually fucked chickens. However, he has not denied that he has fucked a chicken either so I guess I’ll upvote your post.
Just like this Idaho state senator who told his American Indian opponent, “I’m so sick and tired of this liberal bullshit. Why don’t you go back to where you came from?”
Really? If Trump tries and fails to fire him, then this guy is going to find himself in Gitmo, or maybe Trump will just send Seal Team 6 to kill him. Immune.
Not really immigrants. That’s just the dog-whistle. It’s minorities of every kind they hate.
People who did not vote are not participates!
People who cannot vote, are not participants.
People who chose not to vote when they were able to are. They made a choice and this is the result.
Oh you sweet summer child. Didn’t you know that the DNC and RNC are private corporations? They don’t have to show you anything and there is nothing you can do about it.
The court recognized that the DNC treated voters unfairly, but ruled that the DNC is a private corporation; therefore, voters cannot protect their rights by turning to the courts:
“To the extent Plaintiffs wish to air their general grievances with the DNC or its candidate selection process, their redress is through the ballot box, the DNC’s internal workings, or their right of free speech — not through the judiciary.”
You have chosen to run over the crowd rather than trying to minimize the disaster. Good thinking.
Well then it’s a good thing Trump won. Pretty soon you won’t need to worry about Palestinians at all because Trump will help make sure Israel can “finish what they started” as he put it. So, good job. Yay you guys for sticking it to Harris.
And the little bugger is still chugging along. Amazing.

Considering TCF’s threats of retaliation against his political enemies, I think some of these folks would be wise to leave the USA before the inauguration. He knows that SCOTUS has made him above the law. He will not rest until he has had someone killed, or at least shipped off to Gitmo.
They won’t need to leave forever. Just until he sees something shiny to distract him.
This was prophesied? I must have missed that page in the Bible.
Trump has refused to say what he’ll do because threatening Social Security during an election would cost him a lot of votes from seniors. On the other hand, now that he has won, Republicans have started freely admitting that Project 2025 is the plan for this administration. Project 2025 has this to say about Social Security.
Project 2025’s 900-page Mandate for Leadership fails to propose any solutions for Social Security and says, on page 710, that its proposals for the program could not be “covered here in depth.” Notably, that line was co-authored by economist Stephen Moore, who has advocated to slash and privatize Social Security, once calling it a “Ponzi scheme” and encouraging students to burn their Social Security cards. Kevin Roberts, the president of the Heritage Foundation, has also gone on record to say the Mandate for Leadership manifesto is just the basis of their plan and “there are parts of the plan that we will not share with the left.” Last month, his organization called for raising the retirement age, and the author of that analysis, Rachel Greszler, is listed as a Project 2025 contributor.
I would hazard to guess that the incoming administration will, at the very least, try to raise the Full Retirement Age to 69. I will be pleasantly shocked if they don’t try to privatize it as well.
Right? Democratic administrations have done better in almost every case for the last 75 years!
For well over a decade economists and other social scientists have documented a strong advantage in economic performance during Democratic administrations. A new Economic Policy Institute report updates this work to the latest data available and confirms that this Democratic advantage persists. Positive indicators like growth in gross domestic product (GDP), income, and wages are faster, while negative indicators like unemployment, inflation, and interest rates are lower. Further, the fruits of economic growth are distributed substantially more equally under Democratic presidents.
Prices on everything will skyrocket if he follows through with this.
