  • Jayapal said one plan is to propose a raft of executive orders President Biden could issue to “protect existing structures,” such as shielding career civil servants and Justice Department officials.

    Yes! Good!

    Some Democrats are also sensitive to the perception that they are adopting the tactics of Republican state legislators who used their supermajorities to kneecap incoming Democratic governors.

    Fucking gauge my eyeballs out. You can’t call them fascists and then object to playing dirty against them.

    “We’re trying to show how the United States is supposed to conduct itself every four years when a new person takes over the reins of government,” said Cleaver.

    McConnell denied Obama a Supreme court appointment! The precedent is already set! Your norms are already broken!

    If democrats want to win they must purge their own ranks of members like Cleaver and rebuild with more Jayapals or else they will keep ceding grounds to fascists.


  • Because your explanation didn’t demonstrate why that matters. Any candidate’s position can jeopardize ongoing negotiations if its contrary to the current admin.

    The VP is very much at liberty to sabotage the current admin. There’s illegal ways to do it sure. Like if Harris said “Bibi openly admitted on a confidential line that he’s doing genocide.” That might be illegal because it was confidential. But she could say “I think Bibi is doing genocide. Biden doesn’t, but I think he’s wrong”. That wouldn’t violate any laws, even if it did effect negotiations. Remember the VP is an elected position, not a cabinet member. The president can’t fire them.

    If you’re just speculating then its baseless speculation. You might be right, but you’ll have to point to an actual law to prove your point.

    Calling the democratic party a “coalition” is extremely generous. It’s historically been a corrupt patronage network since Van Buren and any attempt to make it represent the will of its voters is thwarted internally. Its history is a graveyard of progressive movements.
