“We are going to do something that I will say is slightly controversial but it shouldn’t be. We are going to indemnify policemen and precincts and states and cities from being sued. We want them to do their job. Our police and law enforcement has to come back and they want to come back and they want to do their job. And we are going to indemnify them so they don’t lose their wife, their family, their pension, and their job. We are going to indemnify policemen and law enforcement. We are going to tell them to get out, we love you, do your job.” – Trump, speaking last night at the New York Young Republicans Club gala.

look, you can say what you want about progressives. Just know, I think you believe you have the privilege of dictating who I vote for... which is not democracy, and you can go fuck off with trump (who, believe it or not, shares that belief.)

You want people to vote for your candidate? you should maybe not piss them off first. Besides which, right now, it's the primary and not even about Biden vs Trump. for the DNC, it's a question of which candidate is the best.

Interestingly enough, the DNC is actively subverting the primary elections in every state they can. They don’t want primary elections because they know how incredibly unpopular Biden is, and yet they insist he is the only one who can beat Trump. I disagree emphatically - Biden is the only one who can lose to him, and we are hurtling towards that terrible outcome due to corrupt establishment politics.

Well, I wouldn't say Biden is the only one who can loose.... There's others right up there with him in that. but those ones are all basically the same, so I don't know that it makes all that much in difference.

I wouldn't be surprised to find they've always meddled and outright cheated in primaries to keep progressives out.

Yeah I suspect there is a long and storied history of this happening. If there’s one thing all the corporate shills in DC can agree on, it’s that progressives represent a threat to their very way of life. Imagine, politicians who would fight for regular people, instead of corporate interests. O, the humanity…
