    Bullet dodged. Imagine if she’d won that primary. The right is just trying to wring all the use out of their asset now that she’s useless, and that “peace mission” never had a chance. Good riddance!

      Imagine if she’d won that primary.

      I mean just consider how many MAGA/ Republican sleeper agents are already present in the Democratic party who made it there under the banner of “ABWD”?

      These types of Democrats still make up the core of the party, and almost exclusively make up leadership.

        This was always the fight, dragging politics this far to the right took decades, it’s not going to be an easy or quick fix to get it back.

      This says so much more about Steven’s than it for anybody else. You cannot possibly claim to be a Democrat a month ago, then support somebody that has the views that Roger’s has.

      Clearly she is hoping to get something out of this. Maybe a conservative podcast or a fox news appearance or something.

        For me, the best part about all of this is that her motivations don’t seem to matter to anyone. Associating with a Republican is crime enough for a ton of people to drop her like the radioactive waste she is, and that brings me joy.

      Bullet barely dodged but glad it was dodged with a candidate that actually has a strong moral character. However you know that she’s far from the only one who would and do sell out Democrats and Progressives for a buck.

        But without the DNC backing them, this will keep happening.

        We can’t do anything until the neoliberals are up for midterms, but we don’t have to do anything special

        Every primary should be competitive, I don’t care if it’s AOC or Fettermen.

        As long as every primary is competitive and non biased, progressives will keep winning.

        It’s all down hill from here, but in a good way. Just keep up with momentum and turning voting into something we view as a constant battle. We’ll never “win” enough that we can stop caring. Every primary and every general need to be treated as important, even if your ballot is boring.

    Perfect example that Amerikkka and all it’s institutions are controlled by the bourgeoisie but liberals will still say the western world has “democracy” and that they can “vote out fascism”

          It always takes 3 replies for them to just resort to insults, it’s weirdly consistent.

          So I usually give them 3 replies, just to see if it holds true. And its almost always exactly 3.

        But this challenges his tankie narrative that only totalitarianism can defeat “the bourgeoise.”

        Yeah, El-Sayed the plant won…and will turn Zionist after delivering a few breadcrumbs with the mission of relieving revolutionary pressure. Just like Obamdani.

                See how you’re dodging the fact about Obamdani going full zio, you’re probably 2 steps away from defending him yourself, liberal zionist

                  Dodging what? The shit that isn’t real happening in your head?

                  You sound like a woman who gets mad at her husband because she had a dream about him hitting on other girls
