by David M. Drucker, Senior Political CorrespondentWashington Examiner Democrats were hopeful that a flurry of legislative victories notched 100 days out from the midterm elections would stabilize President Joe Biden’s political standing and boost the party’s dire 2022 prospects. Congress approved bipartisan legislation to counter China and increase […]

By Andrew Sullivan, Weekly Dish If he can sustain the deal-making, why not? (Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images) Now we’re talking. The entire promise and rationale of a Biden presidency was not, I hate to break it to my lefty friends, a total transformation of the country in favor of […]
Kyle outlines an interesting theory here. Another thought: The Never Trumpers seem to be converging with Andrew Yang’s Forward Party. Will Liz Cheney be their spoiler candidate in 2024?
I would not be surprised if neocons and neoliberals were working together behind the scenes to purge both Trump AND Biden. Buttigieg is the kind of generic neoliberal box-checking empty suit the majority of the ruling class would prefer as a head of state. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Isb_s1Ts9Cw

Kamala is worse. You couldn’t make a worse politician in a laboratory than Kamala Harris.
DeSantis is worse than Trump. DeSantis is more dangerous because he has a way to falsely legitimatize the most horrific policies and get them passed. To me, DeSantis is clearly the worse of the two, tho both are horrible.

I suspect Liz is using the J6 thing as a means of reinventing herself as a “resistance liberal,” switching parties, and trying to run for prez as the neocon-neoliberal alliance candidate against Trump’s “fascism,” with the ultimate objective of putting the Bush-era neocons back in power. She will […]

Voting for either party with all conditions uncompromised wouldn’t work either. The Democrats have shown that their promises mean fuck all, so voting blue with assurances would yield the same results.
I would have a favorable view of a Trump-DeSantis ticket because it would temporarily neutralize De Santis, who is currently the neocons’ leading front candidate, and subsequently tarnish him with whatever fuckups Trump gets into during the campaign or during his second term. Defeating the neocons at all […]
