But we need victimhood groups to justify our existence. It's in the DNC DNA. |

Can democrats answer this question?
Why Can’t California Do Anything? California can’t build housing or railroads on time or on budget—and thanks to a bloated, value-driven bureaucracy, neither can the rest of America. By Stephen Soukup June 21, 2025 Just over two months ago, the Rand Corporation released a study on the cost of producing multi-family housing in three states: California, Colorado, and Texas. The results were paradoxically shocking, yet utterly predictable. California, it turns out, is a ridiculous place, run by ridiculous people, with ridiculous regulations. Or, as the folks at Rand put it, “The average market-rate apartment in California is roughly two and a half times the cost of a similar apartment constructed in Texas on a square-foot basis—and regional differences within California, where costs in the San Francisco Bay Area are roughly 50 percent higher than costs in San Diego.” Additionally, “[t]he time to bring a project to completion in California is more than 22 months longer than the average time required in Texas.” According to Rand, the culprit for these grotesque disparities is, to no one’s surprise, the differences in regulatory burdens between Texas and California and between various jurisdictions within the (allegedly) Golden State. Earlier this month, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy was forced to issue a threat to the government of California, warning the state that the federal government was considering rescinding future funding for its high-speed rail boondoggle. According to a department report, the federal government had released more than $7 billion to California for the project over the last several years, and it had, unsurprisingly, spent all of the money, yet somehow managed not to lay even a single foot of track. As The New York Post noted at the time, “the 800-mile rail line was supposed to be completed in two phases on a $33 billion budget by 2020.” Nevertheless, the proposed line has now been abbreviated to a mere 119 miles. Its budget has ballooned to nearly $130 billion, and it appears highly unlikely that it will be completed by its new 2033 deadline.

So true... (from the article) "By the late 1960s, it had become accepted practice, but only in the United States, for public administrators to see themselves as value advocates and social justice warriors. And within a decade or so, that attitude had become profoundly ingrained among bureaucracies at all levels of government, throughout the country. Unsurprisingly, not long thereafter, American governments became incapable of doing much of anything." "The Waldo-revolution turned what should have been executive-dependent, value-neutral, efficient bureaucracies into left-wing social justice machines. Not only does that explain the American bureaucracy’s overall dysfunction, but it also explains why politically left-leaning jurisdictions like California are even worse off than most places. Just as with their politicians, their bureaucrats adhere to different values—or cling to the same values more firmly and unrelentingly—making everything dysfunctional to the point of collapse." |

Despite 6 years of intense investigation, the GOP came up with absolutely nothing related to any crimes committed by Joe Biden. The whole "Biden Inc" was a fabrication. Look who is actually witholding aid to Ukraine - the GOP and Trump. Look who is actually getting Chinese kickbacks - Ivanka and her trademarks, Trump via Cryptocurrency etc. to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars. Yes, Hunter's art sales were bad. Was Hunter the president or a white house employee? No? Then not illegal. Re: Russian disinformation: Look at the Senate Intel report WRITTEN BY MARCO RUBIO that outlines Russian influence in the 2016 election and continues to this day. You have fallen prey to the worst of the projection of the right and Trump. Hopefully some day, the fog will be lifted from your eyes. Speaking of fog.... |

Nope, I’m black and we know how to shut up and take a seat for the greater cause. We also know how to stand up when others sit down. Timing is everything. Personally? I have no issue tabling DEI and LGBTQ+ as someone that has or is close with someone who has been impacted negatively by the current political climate. We need agreement on what the way ahead is going to look like. Im the meantime, while its not being discussed on larger public platforms, refine the DEI branding strategy from an educational meets political perapective. Roll in blacks, gays, women, latinos, ageism, SES disparity, education, healthcare, etc all of the areas of severe prejudice that would be evaluated through a close DEI tie in. Then fight for it. Matter of fact, make it the springboard for a revolutionary change across the country within the DNC. DNC - Redefining DEI. Signed, A Disabled Independent DMV Native . |

Severe prejudice?
Is that the narrative in your upper two inches because you can't hold power without it? You're suffering from a persecution complex. |

| If there’s no change in leadership, then the Demcoratic party will shrink more. People are just not going to show up at elections like last time |

The link contains clear evidence of Pelosi insider trading. She doesn’t run free just because her husband put the stocks in his name. Crooks. |

95% of Congress members use their power and privileged access to insider info to gain personal wealth. This is nothing new. There are a few members of Congress who have recently spoken out against their colleagues for these wrongdoings. Those brave and selfless Congress members are frozen out of leadership positions by their sleazeball colleagues. It's a toxic environment to say the least. |

| I love this thread. Every MAGA is coming out of the closet to argue why Democrats CAN'T POSSIBLY win in 2026 or 2028. DEI, Trans, Insider trading - it's basically throw a bunch of stuff at the wall and see what sticks. But reality is that voters hate Donald Trump's actions. His approval ratings are in the toilet. They are going to sink even further as the impact of the Big Beautiful Giveaway to billionaires sinks in. It's going to be a cold wake-up call for you all in November 2026. |

Honestly, I hope so, but I’m skeptical. That having been said, Democrats are now primarily winning wealthy old people who are the only people who reliably vote, so they might win by pure demographics alone. |

Remember 2018 and 2020? Dems will be successful in 2026 and 2028 for the same reason they were successful in 2018 and 2020. Dem candidates will benefit from the very unpopular sitting GOP POTUS. Wash, rinse, repeat. |
