    If we weren’t stuck in this two party system, the Democratic party would have been made obsolete a long time ago.

      There really need to be viable 3rd, 4th, 5th+ parties, plus an expansion of the number of representatives at all legislative bodies.

      The concentration of representation at the Federal and state levels has made it easy to be captured by concentration of wealth.

      When the Constitution was written in 1776, the US had about 2.5 million people.

      Our current population in 2026 of about 350 million makes the House statistically identical to the Senate in terms of power share per member.

      The same goes for most state legislative bodies.

    Jesus christ with the gate keeping and purity testing… They are hurting the left, they are hurting us who try, and they hurt the Palestinian people.

    Wait until they discover a single thing they don’t like about Abdul.

    I like how this comments section perfectly sums up the democratic party.

    Two denialists who think he’s fake and a copist about Harris’s loss

    I still contend these abandon people are complete and abject morons that deserve what they got with their absolutely asinine decision.

    Still glad they took their heads out of their asses and that the Democratic voters also took a bit of their heads out of their asses.

    The left likes to pretend that only the right are easily manipulated but it’s pretty obvious that it impacts everyone regardless of beliefs, the packaging is just different. Not sure if there are easy solutions.

    If you didn’t vote or voted for a candidate with no path to victory over Gaza/Palestine then you never cared that much about Gaza/Palestine.

    I promise you every Palestinian is very, very upset Donald Trump is running the show and slobbing on Netanyahu’s knob.

    Abdul said he is a capitalist (its obvious because he is a saudi landlord), he also endorsed hakim jeffries. People need to spot opportunists like abdul and reject them
