Some people seem confused: from 1976 until the present, the Democrat Party moved farther and farther to the right until in 2016, Bernie Sanders and the rest of the left said "Enough is enough. We have to move to the left and enact some of these common sense policies."
To protect their donors, especially in the healthcare and weapons industries, the DNC rigged the 2016 primary election for someone they knew would lose, and pretended that Russia was the reason she lost.
Since 2016 the party has moved even farther right, because to defeat Donald Trump the DNC would have to appeal to the right, since the change the left wants was never a consideration for the Democrats, even though they sometimes SAY it is or co-sponsor bills they don't support.
Once loathsome neo-cons are now Democrats, and Democrats like Joe Biden want them to STAY Democrats, at least through the 2024 election, longer if possible. Democrats prefer to appeal to the right, even though there are many times the number of potential voters on the left,...
because Democrats fundamentally prefer the corporate policies of social cuts and low taxes for the rich to social spending increases and higher taxes on the very wealthy.
It isn't just dramatic language that Democrats don't want to fix the problems, it is actually their job not to. Their bosses pay them to oppose peace, livable wages, socialized healthcare and fully funded education.
And as @JordanChariton demonstrates on @StatusCoup, rigging the process isn't just a national issue and it's more than just gerrymandering and voter purges, it's also rigging the rules committees and the rules themselves. It also means weaponizing the...

rules, like when the Wisconsin Democrats sued to block the Hawkins/Walker (G) presidential campaign from appearing on the ballot in Wisconsin because Angela Walker moved during the election, so there was an old address on a form.

There is nothing democratic about the current Democrat Party.

With Nicaraguan elections coming up, the anti-socialist trolls are out already. I want to share this article by @BenjaminNorton from a few months ago, about a law requiring foreign agents to register. One name you'll hear a lot is Chamorro.

thegrayzone.com/2021/02/11/bid…
Nicaragua’s neoliberal former President Violeta Barrios de Chamorro, came to power in 1990 thanks to a US-backed terror war and blockade of the country, along with funding from Washington’s National Endowment for Democracy (NED).
The Chamorro clan is one of the wealthiest and most powerful oligarch families in Nicaragua. Many right-wing opposition leaders in the Central American nation are Chamorros, and they enjoy a close relationship with the US government.

330 Members of the House of Representatives signed a letter saying that $3.8 billion to Israel for weapons (we need to stop referring this as "aid". This isn't aid.) should be unconditional. "Since the Biden administration is already firmly....

And yet what have you said in defense of Julian Assange, a multiple award winning FOREIGN journalist who is being charged with crimes that amount to basic journalism and making sure his source is safe, you government stenographer?
Bob Woodward says that ALL journalists will use stolen information, arrange for meetings to accept documents and make sure their sources are safe. This is what the government is trying to convict Assange for 175 years for doing.
mintpressnews.com/bob-woodward-r…
Over 1000 journalists recognize Julian Assange's contributions to journalism and the threat to freedom that his persecution represents.

Tonight is the City Council meeting that was delayed last week for contract talks with the Fire Protection District Board. Once again I have submitted a comment about cannabis, in advance of the Council re-examining the illegal ordinance they passed several months ago. Here is...
my comment:

"I'm sure you are quite aware that a number of your constituents want to be able to have a cannabis dispensary. Some number of folks don't have a strong opinion on the subject, while others are vehemently opposed to allowing dispensaries.

Some of those people...
pretend a city should ban cannabis because they don't like the smell. Others pretend that cannabis dispensaries will turn our city into a festering crime haven, often insulting the beautiful city to our south in the process.

To that I say: they should have more faith in...

I've posted this before, but I'm posting it again. A Christian conservative nutjob, named Adrian Zenz, who thinks God created him to take China down cooked up a totally fake report with manipulated numbers and links that don't say what he claims they...

US politicians and US media, seeking negative publicity to use in economic warfare, to manufacture consent for future sanctions (and potentially war) grabbed onto this fake report and...
have been using it as leverage in diplomatic relations and telling it to the entire world as if it's true. It is unclear whether any politician is doing this on purpose. But there's no excuse for anyone in media not doing the slightest bit of basic....

In anticipation of the American Canyon City Council reviewing the illegal ordinance it passed a few months ago, I am focusing my public comments (as you may have noticed) on #cannabis. Here's the comment I submitted ahead of Tuesday's meeting:
