Don’t let those poors start feeling like they have representation in our government!
Wait, wait, so…they warned not to talk about ending US support for Israel, abolishing ICE or impeaching Trump…but instead to focus on improving affordability for average households, which they can’t actually do since the crisis is mostly caused by Trump’s foreign policy?
America is screwed…
American Elections Be Like…
“Lazy and corrupt politicians warn that if we do any work now then the poors and plebs will expect more work from us later. And why work when we can do virtually fuck all and get paid shit loads of cash for it?”
Why not? What, specifically is too far and what happens after?
In a complete shock to everyone, they’ll side with the Republicans.
Anything that can remotely impact the capital of billionaires, such as prosecuting Trump, getting people healthcare or blocking weapons to Israel.
Sounds about right.
Not go too far from the wishes of the oligarch, Epstein class!
advocating for all the things “Dems” promosied in the past but never delivered.
Fuck the centrists. They gave us Hillary, and she lost, and then they gave us Harris, and she lost. They’re chronic losers, they love it, and they’ll never change. CNN reports on them like their opinion matters, because CNN is centrist, too. Meh.
CNN is now owned by a right wing nut job. It isn’t even centrist anymore.
When I ask around and look for centrists in real life, I cannot find them. I can’t find people who want the climate to collapse slowly, or want ICE reined in, or - and this is the big one - want insurance companies in charge of health care.
We’ve been fooled. They got everyone to capitulate and vote for things nobody wanted.
My parents. Yes they still watch tv news. Yes they voted against the billionaire tax in California because the democrats told them to.
And don’t forget that the reason, the ONLY reason Biden won was because of Covid and Trump’s mismanagement of it. Without Covid, Trump would have won reelection in 2020. Centrist dems have been a losing brand for three election cycles at this point.
“if we promise too much, then they might expect us to follow through when we’re in power”
“Be more like the republicans!”
Bug Bunny “NOO” meme.
“This is not the time to show how progressive we can be. People need to see us fighting.”
That’s… That’s the same thing
Being anything other than progressive at this point comes off as cowardly and complacent tbh. If you’re not left wing, then you’re not fighting.
Being progressive in the U.S. largely means moving towards what is centrist by European standards anyhow.
In reality, there are various definitions of “progressive”. Yours is yours, agreed on by millions, but millions of other people use different definitions.
Each person’s views will be slightly different, but ‘progressive’ in the context of American politics generally implies a platform that includes a support for universal healthcare, free college tuition, universal childcare, LGBTQ+ rights, being pro-immigrant, and anti-billionaire, among other unifying issues. Foreign policy preferences are more likely to vary, but being pro-Palestine and pro-Ukraine are to be generally expected.
Really depends on the issue. Somewhere like Oregon is far, far more progressive on issues like trans healthcare than anywhere in Europe.
People need to see us fighting.”
fighting against the fascists or fighting each other
yes
hakeems, schumer, slotkin, CORY booker, gillibrnd, and dozens of others blatantly on the right needs to go. schumer and hakeem are just lightning rod to protect the rest of the DINOS.
If we are nice to the nazis, maybe they won’t try again!?
“If we are nice to the Nazis, maybe I can still afford that yacht”
The corruption of the Democratic party on full display. No wonder they accomplish so little.
Democrats didn’t win yet, Republicans just lost. Democrats have their chance but can absolutely still blow it
They will definitely squander this chance, because neither party (as a whole) has any interest in actually helping people. They will always line their own pockets at our expense, and twiddle their thumbs like the cowards they are at the slightest sign of friction.
I was hoping for more democratic primaries to push through actual progressives with a spine and morals, but there are far too few that actually have made it into congress.
This AI bubble will pop, we will enter a major recession. Democrats will once again bail out these dumbfuck companies at our expense, and we’ll continue to be worse off.
Cherry on top will be a swing back to the far right, leading to the solidification of fascism in the US.
I’m so fuckin’ tired dude
Which is exactly what Neera Tanden, Chuck Schumer, AIPAC Shakur, Jared Moskowitz, and co. are trying to do.
If there was ever a time to go too far, this is it.
No, see the reason why y’all are chronic losers is you guys don’t go far enough and honestly just cowards. Hope you guys have a burn out of your pathetic political career.
We voted for change and change will come.
