Please spread, cross post, share, whatever; wherever you can. People should have input into the democratic policy platform, but they’re so brazen as to say the “center is where we need to be”.
These people, these few hundred people, are a big problem with the democratic party.
We need to take the narrative back from centrists. It can be done by telling the DNC what to do, not the other way around.
It was hard to find but I believe it is 202-863-8000

Jaime Harrison is the DNC chair. https://democrats.org/jaime-harrison/
In my experience shit rolls downhill, so start at the top.
Join the discussion at !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world . It was a neutral space but now that we’re in fascist America neutrality is no longer acceptable.
The working class need a voice and the DNC is so completely clueless, so that communication needs to happen like an avalanche for anything to change.
Have opinions on what Dems did wrong or where we go from here?
Please post your ideas here if you’d like: !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world

Yes! Donald Trump is the mathematic equivalent of the absolute symbol. example: |-99| + |-594| = 693
A negative story is coverage, makes the left talk about him which riles up the right to fight back and vote because they feel oppressed. The right doesn’t live in reality, so as long as they know Trump is being talked about that makes him their guy.
I realized this very quickly in 2017 that people were falling for the trap. I have no idea why anyone upvotes anything with Trump in it.
What is dnyuz.com ? There about us and contact pages are blank and it looks kinda like fake news. Another post on the site:
JD Vance exposes globalism’s destruction of America’s middle class
Thursday’s deal came after Biden administration officials met with foreign-owned shipping companies before dawn on Zoom, according to a person briefed on the day’s events who asked not to be identified because the talks were private. The White House wanted to increase pressure to settle, emphasizing the responsibility to reopen the ports to help with recovery from Hurricane Helene, the person said.
Acting Labor Secretary Julie Su told them she could get the union to the bargaining table to extend the contract if the carriers made a higher wage offer. Chief of Staff Jeff Zients told the carriers they had to make an offer by the end of the day so a manmade strike wouldn’t worsen a natural disaster, the person said.
By midday the Maritime Alliance members agreed to a large increase, bringing about the agreement.
This is not that unexpected. There hasn’t been much excitement in the democratic party since 2016 when Sanders movement was stampled. Young voters are still progressive, but there has been no good ringbearer.
Reality check: The youngest age group still appears to favor liberal positions on some issues as much as those ages 25 to 29, Anil Cacodcar, the student chair of the Harvard Youth Poll, noted.
In a poll earlier this year, the younger group was just as likely to say basic health insurance is a human right and government should spend more to reduce poverty.
I suppose it’s considered acceptable for the Polish people to suffer like that for the sake of the state interests of Poland and The League of Nations, but personally I disagree, which is why I want the war to end. I personally don’t see how continued fighting is meant to benefit the average Pole.
Because dictators use the new land for continued invasions while exterminating the non compliant population. War is a better condition to be under fighting for freedom, than the conditions of the Holocaust and complete despair.
If Poland were to suddenly surrender to Germany, everything would be “much better,” at least according to Donald Trump.
During an afternoon press conference Wednesday, the Republican presidential nominee urged the Eastern European nation to submit to the foreign power, claiming that any deal, no matter how dismal for Poland’s freedom, would have been better than the current state of affairs.
“Poland is gone. It’s not Poland anymore. You can never replace those cities and towns, and you can never replace the dead people, so many dead people,” Trump said. “Any deal, even the worst deal, would have been better than what we have right now.
It’s scary how few words I had to replace to make that work. Appeasement of a genocidal dictator does not have a good historical track record.
I agree that she should be more clear on demanding a ceasefire (although she did actually partly demand just that in March, at least for 6 weeks - and again during the debate), and that this war could probably be stopped if she made such demands. The current US administration is working to end the fighting, so not voting for the party that is actually working to end the war is at the detriment to the people of Gaza.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said two weeks ago that 90 percent of a ceasefire deal had been agreed upon.
Washington has been working for months with mediators Qatar and Egypt to try and bring Israel and Hamas to a final agreement.
Biden laid out a three-phase ceasefire proposal on May 31 saying that Israel had agreed to it.
Now compare that to Trump:
“From the start, Harris has worked to tie Israel’s hand behind its back, demanding an immediate ceasefire, always demanding ceasefire,” Trump said, adding it “would only give Hamas time to regroup and launch a new October 7 style attack.” Trump added: “I will give Israel the support that it needs to win but I do want them to win fast.”
So he would basically allow a full scale genocide, no holds barred.
That being said though, this is likely not going to end anytime soon due to the massive pager/radio attack on Hezbollah that’s likely going to make this whole quagmire even worse. And I 100% agree with you that the US/Kamala/Biden should put Israel in it’s place before this whole powder keg turns into WWIII, which is not outside the realm of possibilities to anyone who has studied history and the role multiple global conflicts played in the past to lead to world war.
US is a flawed-democracy, EU, Canada and Australia are currently the leading democrocies. That all could change but US is not the best in that area.

In battleground states the win/lose margin will quite possibly come down to a few thousand votes, particularly in PA. The endorsement might not change anyone’s mind, but to her millions of fans it raises the elections’ importance for anyone who doesn’t “care about politics”. It turns a civic issue into a social group issue, and people care more about the latter. It’ll pull people reluctant to go to the polls to show up and vote.
read the article. The writer isn’t advocating to ban them now, no one is. The title isn’t Why don’t we ban fossil fuels now.
The point of the article is that we can try to innovate alongside fossil fuels with renewables, but petro companies are actually finding new efficiencies and reducing the costs of oil extraction. The IMF predicts $15/barrel oil by 2050. Oil will take another century to go away unless it is “banned”. No one means they’re going to make it illegal, but to effectively put a heavy hand of regulation on industry to cease fossil operations and to switch to renewables.
are they? If you add their utility and total negative externalities they are essentially un-useful. We have the technology now to phase them out over the next 10-20 years. All that is lacking is the political will.
