#67 What we need are Democratic leaders who know how to win where their votes are.

To extrapolate a New York City mayoral candidate's successful campaign for NYC voters as the one-size-fits-all solution for Democrats everywhere is foolish at best, naive at worst.

#22 Well, as we were just telling john_savage1 (before he abruptly disappeared) ...

#63 C0RI0LANUS says,

FDR was not a "socialist Democrat," he was a Democrat.

"JFK was not a "socialist Democrat," he was a Democrat.
"Yet somehow Zohran Mamdani is a "socialist Democrat," whatever that means.

And Bravo!

Zohran Mamdani was the Democratic Party nominee for mayor of NYC.

And now, Zohran Mamdani is the Democratic mayor of NYC.

BRAVO!

#4 Your POV and life observations are greatly appreciated, C0RI0LANUS.

This isn't a left-wing media ecosystem. It's a timid, commercial, risk-averse one, terrified of power, addicted to access, and structurally incapable of confronting an authoritarian movement that punishes dissent.

Liberal billionaires ask me all the time what needs to be done to "counter Fox." My answer never changes: sustained, serious investment in competing mainstream media over time ... not a liberal mirror image of Fox, not a rage-bait echo chamber, but institutions with reach, credibility, and the spine to tell the truth even when it costs them something.

You don't beat propaganda with propaganda.

You beat it by building media that actually deserves the public's trust and then funding it like democracy depends on it.

One of the core articles of faith of the lib-owning wing of MAGA (long, long before Trump ever rode down the escalator) has been that the "mainstream media" is an irredeemable swamp of far-left indoctrination and communist propaganda. In this telling, the press's hypnotic reach is so total, so omnipresent, that it can bend an entire society to a Maoist agenda unless it is smashed, regulated, or placed under political supervision.

Give me a break.

The reality is that Trump and his allies now own, dominate, or effectively control more media outlets (and command more eyeballs) than any of the supposed liberal demons the right has been screaming about for decades. CNN, now the Bothsides Network in all but name, contorts itself daily to platform and normalize the administration's endless torrent of lies. CBS News has drifted into Fox Lite, carefully sanding off anything that might offend the White House. 60 Minutes is increasingly indistinguishable from a celebrity profile factory. And The Washington Post continues its steady slide into hushed irrelevance as Jeff Bezos works overtime to avoid becoming Trump's next target.

The Democrat says prices now will be higher,
All on account of the Tariff.
The Republican says, "Democrat, you're a liar,"
All on account of the Tariff.
But one thing has gone up, and you can't rub it out,
The Republicans this year have gone up the spout,
And the cause of it all I've no reason to doubt,
Is all on account of the Tariff.

Let me throw this idea out there for your consideration:

How about we start taxing the uber-wealthy who have, for the past 40 years, been able to dodge their financial responsibilities that provide them with a country that protects them and their money and their property?

Not to mention the fact that this country has given them, the uber-wealthy, a nation of publicly educated wage-earners who can afford to buy their products/services?

How about that?

Afterall, ingratitude is a Cardinal Sin. (a note for Eberly)

There already is 100% VoterID.

It is called voter registration.

A Hillsdale College "attendee" and an apologist for white supremacy.

Not at all surprising that bell boi would present her as something legitimate.

#207 Bravo, Snoofy.

Thank you for that excellent post. You have great patience.

Bravo.

#202 Flag: Actually asks an intelligent, introspective, question. Bravo
