I FUCKING TOLD YOU SO!
I want a goddamn WRITTEN APOLOGY from every motherfucker who ever downvoted me for saying that Bernie had a better chance than Hillary if he’d made it to the general election.
I hate the corpo news. I listened to these asahates try and explain that the night was about centrist Democrats being able to turn solid red districts. People were looking at the message of radical shift away from the current course and its being watered down. NO motherfuckers…this is NOT the time to come to the middle and court the right. This is the time to MAGA up the left and course correct away from that loosing strategy.
They know where their bread is buttered and they suck for it. I don’t want to say it’s time to MAGA up the progressives because, well MAGA are stupid reactionaries that can’t hold a coherent thought in their head but you’re damn right that it’s time for actual action that are FOR the people and not have it watered down by Republicans.
I still think this whole election isn’t about the Democrats at all and the wins from people like El-Sayed the non-DSA DSA, DSA Ashley Herrmann winning, the election of Talarico and Hamilton in Kansas, and the extremely close race with Angie Nixon in Florida. All of these guys won their races not being progressive or liberal or centrist, they won because the Average American just wants change, someone who will listen to them and will vote for anyone who will give them that or at least promise them that because we’re all tired boss.
Again, of course these guys know where their bread is buttered, so they’ll ignore that whole lesson to keep the status quo of corporate money.
Keep voting and donating to Progressives, three decades of voting and I’m loving the changes that I’ve donated and volunteered for almost two decades taking hold.
I know that centrist are also hanging their hats on to how they’re the future with some of these red state wins like Iowa but honestly I hope that this article is what comes to fruition in the next decade.
Vote progressive no matter who.
More the new era of Old Democrats. Anyone remember FDR?
you mean the guy that people liked so much and got elected so many times that they had to change the constitution to make sure it didn’t happen again? almost makes it seem like progressives have always been popular
I’ve read that there was an era where Democrats that made things happen for the people but never saw it myself but I hope to.

Tuesday’s election results demolished the conventional wisdom that Democrats need to run cautious, corporate-friendly centrists to win in purple and red states.
The voting members of the DNC recognized that after the 2024 election…
That’s why they pivoted to Martin as chair, and why trying to win every race and supporting everyone that made it thru fair primaries paid off.
Like, Martin literally spent a decade running Minnesota, where over and over he saw the best way to turn a purple/red state blue, was progressive candidates.
It’s really getting old that people don’t realize the party is essentially the chair, and the only thing this chair wants more than charismatic progressives, is fair primaries.
This was Hasan Pikers night. Hope your excited to hear about a twitch streamer from California @[email protected]

Hah, no. We’ll have the year of the Linux desktop before that ever happens. Leftist candidates won because the Democrats were so strongly favored that even weak candidates won, but the leftists did worse than a generic Democrat would have done.
El-Sayed, for example, won Michigan 52.5 to 45.5 as of the current count. Meanwhile the Democratic candidate for governor Jocelyn Benson won 54.5 to 43.7. There were enough people voting for her but not for him to swing a normal election to the Republicans.
