Gee, it's almost like being a blatant Trump entryist running as a Democrat doesn't fly with the actual voters!
But never mind that. I'm just a Bernie Bro because I'm mad over a state representative race where the party in the small town of checks notes Philadelphia, PA endorsed a Republican entryist.
The simps will say and do anything to keep their romanticized idea of the Democratic Party alive. Nothing bad they do is their fault, and if it is, then it's no big deal.
Oh put a cork in it. This was obviously all about local politics and patronage and blah blah blah. Some asinine Democratic party insiders got their asses rightfully handed to them when they endorsed some jackass Republican. But trying to conflict this with the Democratic party at large out of one f****** State Assembly District makes you look downright silly.
Seriously, just go sit down with Jay Fern and have a nice Mutual b**** Fest while the rest of us actually seek to elect progressives and keep assholes like this guy out, and for that matter seek to punish the Rogue- yes, Rogue - Democratic committee members who allowed this farce of an endorsement to occur
If you want to name-call and throw a sh*tfit, that's fine, but that doesn't address anything I've posted.
The fact is Democratic Party of a city that's about as populous as Hawaii is actively backing Trump supporters. Michael Giangiordano is not a moderate. He's not even a Manchin or a Sinema. Michael Giangiordano is an avowed, unapologetic Trump supporter running as a Democrat to get elected.
I'd also like to remind you that this isn't a ward endorsement. This isn't the acts of a few rogue commiteepeople. This is the city party. The ward leaders are the ones with the most influence over the process. Some are even saying that Bob Brady himself influences the ward leaders.
How do you punish the leaders of a party when the leaders don't want to punish them? The national party didn't do it in Rhode Island, where the exact same thing happened. And this was the state party! In fact, they even gave the RIDP head a spot in the DNC roll call.
Again - name-calling and petulant screeching do not make my post any less true and do not undo what the PHLDP did. How do you reform something where the rot extends all the way to the top?
The fact there are democrats out there who want to “protect democracy!” while blindly supporting local corrupt politicians and organizations is mind-boggling. Corporate interests flagrantly jump into democratic primaries to trash popular, diverse, young, and community-connected candidates and the best centrists can muster is some straight up McCarthyisy insanity and ad hominems about people and organizations whose politics would be considered center-right in any other OECD country. It’s so intellectually dishonest to look at this case in context this week and act like it isn’t even a teensy but reflective of an attempt by powerful interests to keep “leftist” politics that will hurt their financial bottom line in check. Most local and state democratic parties have compromised elements, all have deep and troublesome connections to big business, and obviously this is mirrored at the top by the DNC. And we also know that these connections drag down the party’s standing with voters. It’s delusional at this point to pretend otherwise.
