    The Dem candidate, whomever it turns out to be, needs to be able to offer a more coherent vision than "Vote for me, I'm not Trump."

    I dunno, "pisses off liberals" and not Hilary was enough policy for Trump to win.

    So over the last weekend about a thousand rockets, bombs, and even a guided anti-tank missile were fired out of Gaza into various cities in the south of Israel. Sitting congressmembers Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar, already famous for their history of naked jew hatred, both chose to actively condone, support, and defend this latest attempt at mass murder by repeatedly stating that firing nearly a thousand bombs at civilians while calling for total genocide is a "justifiable" and legitimate action. While we're on the subject mainstream left wing media was filled with the flat out lie that Israel killed a pregnant woman and child, Gaza's own official news agency publicly admitted from day one they were killed by an Islamic Jihad rocket. And yes that's their official name, tell me again this isn't about religion.

    The fact is the republicans completely ostracized and stripped King of all his positions. The democrats outright defend someone openly quoting the Protocols of the Elders of Zion's tropes of evil jewish magic powers, jew money, and jewish control over governments. You know, the same ones that were repeatedly posted on this very forum with accusations that everything from the New York Times (who by the way openly published a Nazi propaganda cartoon) of being part of the vast jewish media conspiracy. It's no wonder that those same people are now comfortable openly supporting this level of outright genocidal terrorism involving quantities of ordinance most of europe hasn't seen since the second World War.

    There's nothing liberal about the left anymore. And that worked for him because 80% of white americans and approaching 90% of minorities believe that the regressive left's core social justice ideology of political correctness is a "serious problem" facing the country.

    A sampling of Democrats and liberals/progressives under attack in the last year. Perpetrators are all facing federal charges (some already convicted); many (not all) of these individuals are vocal Trump supporters.

    Mail bomb suspect Cesar Sayoc pleads guilty
    The Florida man accused of sending mail bombs to CNN offices and prominent Democrats pleaded guilty on Thursday in Manhattan federal court to 65 felony counts, including using weapons of mass destruction in an attempted domestic terrorist attack.

    Cesar Sayoc, 57, admitted in court to having mailed 16 explosive devices to a variety of officials -- primarily Democrats, including former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton and Sens. Cory Booker and Kamala Harris; and major Democratic donors, including George Soros and Tom Steyer -- and to CNN's offices...

    Then there are the two far right anti-Semitic white nationalists mass shooters in Pittsburgh and Poway (San Diego) synagogues six months apart to the day,

    But that is another discussion topic.

    You mean the anti-trump shooters who believed word for word the exact libels and conspiracy theories repeatedly published by Ilhan Omar and in cartoon form in the New York Times (which you repeatedly accused of being part of a vast evil jewish conspiracy controlling global media)?

    The ones who believed that Trump and the right were completely controlled by Jews? The anti-right wing anti-trump shooters?

    Reminds me of how Farrahkan suddenly became "right wing" when removed from Facebook.

    A great example of how you can ricin to republicans and it will barely make the news but tweet something unpleasant at a democrat and suddenly it's evidence of the end of the world as we know it. Incidentally Reza Aslan still has tweets up actively calling for violence against underage children because of flat out lies told about them.

    Pelosi clashes with fellow Dems in closed-door debate on impeachment

    The Dems have got to get in sync...please. And get their act together.

    IMHO, I'd prefer to get Mr. T out of the WH asap...but until you get a momentum gunning for the prez in the Senate, Pelosi is right, it would be a moot point.
    You've got one or a few of GOP Senators...you need more. (and you need to solve the McConnell problem...he'll cock block anything...as he's shown the audacity for)

    In the meantime, they should increase the investigations...the courts are ruling in their favor
    AND start enforcing subpoenas!! (fine them, throw their ass in jail, etc)

    It will be constant negativity...
    1. enforcing the probe
    2. enforcing their point and principle
    3. slowly convincing the GOP (and it is happening, bit by bit)
    4. and the best...drive Mr T bat shit crazy
    Pissing off T is bonus unto itself...but it will distract him from doing woe to the country...but it may trigger him to do or say something stupid.

    Let your enemy hang themselves.
    But you can give them more rope...

    Really interesting to see how the Smollett case continues to damage the Democrat institution's credibility.

    When it comes to Democrat candidates, I'm really liking what I've heard about (and from) Tulsi Gabbard so far. Possibly not happening this election since it seems like she needs to flesh out her position and thought process a bit more, but I have the impression she is a serious presidential contender.

    Andrew Yang has some disruptive ideas but doesn't strike me as someone who would pass muster to be considered presidential by people. Joe Biden's a joke, and AOC seems to be mainly riding the emotional social justice waves.

    Next year's going to be quite the show.

    So let's see what we have here. An organization that sprung up out of nowhere in 2018, has a grand total of 40 twitter followers, and whose entire existence is literally nothing but astroturfing the narrative that Jews hate Trump, Jews will all vote Democrat, Jews don't care about Israel, and Trump is to blame for antisemism. Literally their entire twitter history is composed of nothing but anti-trump tweets and this banner.

    Trying to backtrace them on google finds that they only exist as a prop for periodic timed batches of anti-trump anti-israel articles that all appear with similar or identical verbiage, all link to each other in circles, and all make the same claims going back only to this organization and nowhere else.

    Meanwhile in the real world synagogues are being shot up because antisemites, who say literally the exact same centuries old conspiracies and smears as you and Ilhan Omar, hate Trump and think that Trump is too pro-jew. That's literally what the last guy flat out said. Trump is controlled by Jews, Jews control the government, Jews control the media. He shot up a synagogue because he believed the things you say (and have your mod friends delete to cover for you), and the things Ilhan Omar says, and the things Linda Sarsour says.

    The real world is 15,000 jews leaving France in a single year because of left wing and islamic antisemitism.
    The real world is half of UK Jewry intending to leave the country if the left wing Corbyn and his band of left wing jew haters take the government.
    The real world is Linda Sarsour, Ilhan Omar, and Rashida Tlaib and you saying that Jews control the media, Jews control the government, Jews have hypnotized the world, Jews are loyal to Israel and not America, and and antisemites shooting up synagogues because they believe you.

    This is the real world:

    The latest right wing white nationalist in the US. sentenced.

    Indiana man sentenced to federal prison for vandalism at Carmel synagogue


    ***

    This comes on the heels of the sentencing (plea agreement) last week of the forth Trump supporter convicted on federal charges of threatening to kill a member(s) of Congress (or related federal charges) in the last year; least six others are awaiting trial.

    In this case the unnamed US Senator is reported to be Diane Feinstein, threatened for her support of women's reproductive rights and her opposition to Trump's hardline abortion policies.

    More on the failure of Trump and Republicans to attract Jewish voters by ignorantly painting the Democratic Party as ant-Semitic.

    From earlier this year....
    U.S. Jews’ Support for Trump at Serious Low Despite anti-Democratic Campaign, Poll Finds
    71 percent of Jewish respondents to Gallup poll say they disapprove of Trump, despite attempts to sway voters to back the GOP through support of groups like Jexodus

    ... and the Gallup poll referenced above.
    And another poll from the Pew Research Center on the recent 2018 mid-term elections.

    [​IMG]
    How religious groups voted in the midterm elections

    While the percent of Jewish Americans voting for Democrat candidates for the House of Representatives in 2018 was below the 2006 level, it was significantly higher in 2018 (79%) then the previous mid-term election in 2014 (66%). There is no way of knowing for certain how much of the increase in 2018 was a result of voting against Trump (giving Trump a Republican Congress). Whatever the reason, that higher Jewish vote percentage for Democrats contributed to flipping 40 seats in the House.

    For the record, neither Gallup nor the Pew Research Center are "organization(s) that sprung up out of nowhere in 2018."

    Again, Trump and Republicans efforts to paint the Democratic Party as anti-Semitic is a disgrace and the majority of American Jews have (and will continue to) make that clear in the voting booth in 2020.
