Doc, Thank you for posting this excellent thread. 'Tis much appreciated.

Coriolanus, your #3 is not only an excellent view of real history, but it should also be required reading by anyone seeking to understand where we are in America in 2026.

Thank you.

"We need strong Progressive People in Charge."

Yeah?

And just how are "we" supposed to accomplish that?

"Republicans who stand up to AIPAC like Thomas Massie are better than go along Democrats."

I would rather have Jerry Nadler be the Chair of his US House committee, instead of the Republican, Scott Fitzgerald.

I would rather have Rosa DeLauro be the Chair of the Appropriations committee, instead of the Republican, Tom Cole.

I would rather have Adam Smith be the Chair of the Armed Services committee, instead of the Republican, Mike Rogers.

I would rather have Gregory Meeks be the Chair of the Foreign Affairs committee, instead of the Republican, Brian Mast.

I would rather have Bennie Thompson be the Chair of the Homeland Security committee, instead of the Republican, Andrew Garbarino.

I would rather have Jamie Raskin be the Chair of the Judiciary committee, instead of the Republican, Jim Jordan

Quite obviously, Effeteposer likes and much prefers the shirt-sleeved repulsive, pedophile Republican, Jim Jordan over the Democrat (and member of the Democratic National Committee, the DNC), Jamie Raskin.

Why is that, Effette?

Give me the confidence of a mediocre MAGA man hiding behind his false bravado.

Seriously, I wish I had whatever lack of awareness these men possess so that I could just skate through life and never have to face any consequences from anything I say or do.

#29 "Get AIPAC out of the Kingmaking game then."

Ya think? Good for you... you're learning.

And just how do we get AIPAC (and every other PAC providing dark money to politicians of every stripe...)? ? ? ?

You overturn Citizens United.

And then all of those PACs will naturally go by the wayside.

But you think that's going to happen with Republicans in charge of Washington, DC?

#5 "Everyday Americans are hated overseas because of the Dotard-in-Chief.

"Many innocent Jews and Russians must also feel persecuted because of their monstrous leaders."

Poetic words.

Thank you for posting them, Coriolanus

#26 When all you have are lies, Clown, lying's all you seem to be able to do.

My profile is public... please cite just one single post where I demanded that you vote for Tom Steyer...

#21 "Democrats who lie about unconditional support for Genocide and Expansionist Wars are worse than Republicans who tell the Truth about supporting this."

Oh?

Which Democrats are those?

And I suppose their Republican challengers would be better for, oh, things like affordability for Americans, food security for Americans, lower gasoline prices for Americans, fighting the Stephen Millers of the Trump administration, etc.

You want an America run by the Republicans and their billionaire friends.

Me?

I want a better America.

And if you think a 25-seat majority of Democrats in the US Senate, Democrats who supposedly don't lie about Bibi...

Or a 100-seat majority of Democrats in the US House...

...where the Republicans control all the power at 75% plus majorities ... then knock yourself out, sweetheart.

#22 I previously said that if I were a California voter, Clown, I would most likely vote for Xavier Becerra.

I also said that, if I were a California voter, come November, I would vote for the Democratic candidate.

You refuse to do so.

Why is that, Clown?

Are you secretly hoping for a Republican rout this November?

#2 Then they'll both be members of the DNC.

#17 But Democrats are worse than Stephen Miller to you, right Effete?
