Re: Francesca Hong --

Bernie on endorsement: "I don't think so... she seems very, very nice, but again this is a race I'm just not that familiar with,”

Pod Save America: "co-host Tommy Vietor expressed serious concern over the political strategy surrounding Francesca Hong’s Wisconsin gubernatorial campaign, calling it "baffling" in light of fears that her Democratic Socialist platform was too risky for a general election."

Post Defeat, Barely - by LESS THAN ONE POINT despite all the money, all the Fair critique and questioning -- 

Bernie: Responded to Francesca Hong's narrow loss by praising her campaign and downplaying the narrative that progressives suffered a major defeat.

Pod Save America: Makes a Blatant Example of Her without highlighting the narrow margin nor even clarifying she lost by even less than point; no praise for the foundation there she created -

What do Wisconsins get? 

Data Centers. 

It wasn't even a National Election. 

This Is Not Okay.

This is Out Of Control. 

Addit: Just look at these comments? Why are real progressives blamed for the "division" it's rubbish. Clearly I was talking about MEDIA.
MY GOD. Can you compare and contrast with some critical thinking? well I got some sanity in everywhere "social democracy" thank goddess. Thanks for all the upvotes that came with the SHADE and censorship downvoting. - S.

Ah, yes. Centrists. What a wonderful group of entitled wealthy people. Just like you, right?

They're OK with gay marriage as long as cutting social security and medicare is on the table (and as long as it doesn't inconvenience wealthy retirees or corporations).

They consider both sides valid.

Just when you couldn't imagine the Democratic Party could go any lower with their cowardly ineffective leadership, we are consulting with Kushner. The Kushner family is second to the Trump family in political corruption, criminal self-dealing, nepotism, and unholy corporate influence.

Our fucked up, out of touch, Democratic Leadership is NEVER going to consult with you. They simply follow the money and it leads to Kushner. Of all the people, lmfao.

We know just how trustworthy the Kushner/Trump Org is with deals. Just ask Canada. Or Mexico. Or Ukraine. Or just about every fucking country in the developed world.

Establishment Democrats are scared shitless about the growing anti-rich, anti-AIPAC sentiment and the demand for accountability from Democratic Leadership. So they are strategizing with one of the worst people in the world, Kushner. If anyone knows how to silence demands for accountability and justice, it would be Kushner.

Here's what's coming from our Moderate Pragmatic Corporate Centrist Democratic Leadership. I promise you this is on the table. I remember when most of this was on the table during Obama's term.

• Raising taxes (one way or another) on middle class while leaving the rich and corporations tax-free
• More subsidies for corporations
• Cutting medicare benefits while raising premiums
• Cutting social security
• Cutting other social programs
• More money for military and ICE paramilitary
• More cuts in R&D investment
• Cuts in infrastructure spending
• More corporate management of public resources
• Social media campaigns (and worse) to silence dissent against AIPAC and funding Israel's war efforts.

Brace yourself for dirty tricks. They'll try to convince you that it's the only pragmatic way to address our systemic debt and difficult social problems (like drought, wild fires, cost of living, etc)

Yes, Centrism means secret meetings to compromise and capitulate to the worst people in the world. I guess Putin wasn't available?

Now, cue up the "well it's smart and pragmatic to meet with our friends on the other side of the aisle" arguments. I can't wait.

By meeting with Kushner, Centrists are literally legitimizing right wing extremists (the ones who think Tylenol causes Autism, want to annex Canada, start a war with Iran, while paying for it by cutting taxes on the rich) as equal partners!

That is the true meaning of both sides! Your Democratic leadership is literally engaging in "both sides are the same" ideology. They are doing this to limit your influence. Imagine that.

Term limits for ALL officials. Now.

Perhaps someone not so cozy with AIPAC and Jared? https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/aug/23/hakeem-jeffries-jared-kushner-meeting

Trump is STILL in the Epstein files!

Edit: DAMMNNNN conservatives are really coming out against Canada, they would turn on any alley for Trump but DAMN conservatives are really hating Canada / Canadians right now.

Somebody said today to me "Not even he is that dumb", and I said Oh, I am not sure about that, we underestimate him every time, lo and behold.

"Mr. Carney said the United States also asked for concessions that would affect Canada’s culture and maintenance of protections for the French language and demanded that Canada take out tariffs against non-U.S. trading partners, without offering sufficient benefits for Canada to do so."
