True. DNC has still not realized that if they support Israel and Zionism blindly they will lose elections again. The democrats who have won the seats recently are progressive democrats who are not using AIPAC and pro Israel campaign funds . I did early voting in my state and voted only for candidates not taking money from corporations and pro Israel groups. End Citizens United Act of 2010.
The fault began with the prejudice and stupidity of demented Biden, followed by the timidity of Kamala and much of the Democratic leadership. That leadership is even NOW still beholden to Israel and AIPAC.
Many of the Democratic base has moved on. WE NEED NEW LEADERSHIP.
I won’t vote for genocide. They found the line many on the left won’t cross. AIPAC seems like the guy who has candy, but you got to get in the van. Otherwise decent politicians, like Cory Booker, loose their ability to tell right from wrong once their donations hit the coffers. So, I won’t vote for anyone taking money from AIPAC.
This piece connects two critical themes that establishment leaders would rather keep separate: accountability and power.
If the DNC truly commissioned an after-action report concluding that support for the war in Gaza materially hurt Kamala Harris, then withholding it only deepens public distrust. You can’t claim to defend democracy while hiding internal findings from your own voters. Transparency isn’t optional when the stakes include war, mass civilian casualties, and the direction of the country. If party leadership believes voters were wrong, say so publicly. If they believe policy mistakes were made, own that too. But secrecy just reinforces the perception that the base is expected to fall in line without explanation.
At the same time, what’s unfolding in Argentina under Javier Milei shows how quickly political realignments can translate into structural economic change. Rolling back a century of labor protections in a country with one of the strongest union traditions in Latin America isn’t just domestic policy — it’s part of a broader ideological project aligned with global austerity politics. When labor rights, strike rights, and severance protections are weakened, it fundamentally shifts bargaining power from workers to capital.
Whether in Washington or Buenos Aires, the throughline is the same: when political institutions grow distant from the material concerns of ordinary people — war, wages, job security — the backlash doesn’t disappear. It reshapes the political landscape.
If parties want to win and govern with legitimacy, they have to be willing to confront uncomfortable truths, not bury them.
It'd just be a footnote, so why bother, no one likes the Dems, who will under-perform this November, and whiff in '28. Need a whole new party, but there isn't enough time or identifiable talent before the mighty ship of state slips 'neath the waves.
With respect to the Argentine labor reform, it would be great if you could highlight the reform bill's provision allowing "employers may pay wages in foreign currency or partially in kind – that is, through food, accommodation or other goods and services", (Buenos Aires Times, "Explainer: Key points of Milei’s newly passed labour reform package", Feb 2026.) U.S. companies in Latin America and sharecropping arrangements in the U.S. south have a history of abusing a system that allows this (e.g. substandard housing at high prices, company stores selling goods and foodstuffs at above-market rates.) Although this detail is not a headline-grabbing topic, it has enormous potential for further degrading workers' standard of life and mobility. With the U.S housing crisis I could imagine something like this being proposed in the U.S. as a "solution."
America is a 1 party system that finances 2 political parties
Yes, the War Party for Zion.

Same applies to Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries, instruments of AIPAC in all its forms
Otherwise decent, lol. That's a good one.

Is the headline incorrect here? On email it says "Dem support for Gaza genocide gave Trump the White House. The DNC is trying to cover it up."
According to me, it's indeed correct
