No other liberal news outlets are covering this.
How about you leave. Like, what are y’all even fucking doing anymore? You guys are more unpopular than you ever have been and it’s literally your own fault.
Collecting their kickbacks.
They could become the traditional republicans with what their views are these days.
They’ll just go Republican and cash in on their servitude to the rich
Here’s another one to primary. Get on it, America!
Vote blue no matter who, am I right?
That’s a stupid oversimplification to make it look like both sides are the same.
So I’ll call that an attempt of a false equivalence to discourage the opposition.I have always seen it as a “Perfection is the enemy of progress.” phrase.
I.E. Yes, that blue candidate is funded by target, but the red candidate will do so much worse things to the people.
I read it as sarcastic, that these are the same guys that say “blue no matter who” when it’s their guy, but the second it isn’t, suddenly they actively undermine the primary winners of"their" party.
Also true.
“…don’t want that in my party…”
Is this guy the new owner or something? I’ve never heard of him.
“Capitalism has raised more people out of poverty than any other system in the history of the world. Create more innovation. Socialism has failed everywhere,” Suozzi said in the interview, which he even posted to his social media accounts.
Oh? Like social security, medicare, medicaid, public schooling, and stimulus packages? All socialist policies that make America work. But no, it must be the billionaires and billion dollar corporations.
This country would have broken before World War 1 if not for socialist policies that were enacted to save it from total collapse. And here we are at the precipice once again and this fuckweed is calling for everyone to abandon their parachute and commit a trust fall with the greediest most insubstantial people to have ever existed. AKA capitalists

Ideally we should have four parties:
Progressive
Corporate Democrat
Corporate Republican
Batshit CrazyAs it stands now, the Batshit Crazies have taken over and the Progressives are disenfranchised.
Batshit Crazy
The name lacks symmetry. How about “regressives”
Thank you Tom Suozzi for outing yourself you fucking fuck.
The Democratic Party leadership and establishment is not there to help you. They are there to stop you. They are there to act as a honey trap to capture and neutralize progressive/leftist politicians and policies while the Republicans implement the authoritarian police state that the donors of both parties need to quell the inevitable rebellion that will occur once the general population fully realizes the existential crisis we are in.
Well, the good news is that we all know centrists will side with capital. The last step before fascism is almost always cowardly centrists trying and failing to maintain their shreds of status in a world they can’t understand because they lack a binding moral framework.
That’s actually the bad news, I guess. But at least we know it’s coming.
Primaries are where we can fight. Every DINO needs to be primaried, and we need to start fucking showing up to primaries. IIRC primary elections are voted in by only like 10-20% of eligible voters.
Just go join the Republicans if you like them so much! Quit faking being on the left. Every Democrat save a select few are right of centre. Stop pandering to the idiots, work on fixing the mess of a country you e helped create or get the fuck outta the kitchen.
Does Tom Suozzi get to determine who joins the party? Sounds like he should leave the democratic party if he takes issue with what the party members clearly want.
Yeah, entryism can eat my whole asshole
It’s clear what the people what. It’s not socialism, but it’s definitely is progressive. And that’s good enough for now
That’s the DSA’s ultimate goal, my guy. Use DNC infrastructure to its advantage, and use that as a spring board to breaking with the Dems. At what point that happens is debated within the organization. But this guy will get his wish, sooner or later, especially if the DNC continues to have zero sense of self preservation
Lately I’ve been noticing (not sure what to call it) this “culture shock” with people around 20,40 and 60. I’m almost 40 and caught myself thinking about good ol 90s films but then again I checked myself and realized how and why things changed and what I started missing still exists. Maybe I’m noticing a difference? But why is this a human behavior and why does it have to be used in politics?
If he wants that kind of party imma stick my dick in the punch bowl
