America has a habit of generating hope … and then crushingly disappointing everyone

You’re confusing neoliberals as an only other option to maga…

Anyone with a congressional Dem representative needs to contact their office and tell them they need to support a progressive for leadership.

We can’t afford the bullshit “looking into” that happened under Biden. We need a Speaker and Senate leader willing to put progressive legislation up for votes.

Schumer/Jefferies won’t do that

Subtitle:

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.

If you have a Dem House rep, start calling tomorrow telling them we can’t afford to waste time on Jefferies as speaker.

We won’t get someone like AOC (I’d love it if we did) but bare minimum it needs to be someone on the same general page as Dem voters. And Jefferies doesn’t.

It’s not as cut and dry.

There are schools for the deaf and/or blind.

The real solution is separating church from education entirely.

Everyone gets public school, if you want to send them to an after hours system like CDC (what Catholics have) or something else in addition to normal school, then that shouldn’t be publicly funded in any way.

We had a Catholic k-8 feed into our highschool, and it’s not like the kids were dumb, but they had huge gaps in their knowledge. It’s literal religious indoctrination, and even if the kid grows up to leave that religious group, the values, rules and notes are still being forced into impressionable minds.

It’s always projection with the right, their worried that some day we’ll stop letting them get away with indoctrinating their own kids, and if that happens their religious extremism dies out in a generation or two.

Once that happens it’s I almost impossible to build back up, they need adults who grew up in that system to want to continue it.

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.

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.

Even responds to questions like trump…

Obamdani

Why do you choose to talk like trump?

Buddy…

She lost the primary and isn’t on the ballot…

She lost, El-Sayed won…

Voting worked.

I mean, yeah…

People always want to interpret what the DNC says in the worst way possible. But when the chair said that shit about how they’d still take money from “good billionaires” and everyone replied “there are no good billionaires” like it was some kind of brand new insight, this is what was always gonna happen.

They stopped courting oligarchs and only spending donations to get more donations.

So naturally the big money donations swung to Republicans.

But it doesn’t matter, the DNC emptied their coffers to state parties long ago. State Dem parties have been operating at campaign levels for almost two years, that money was put to work a long time ago.

Votes matter more than dollars, so that’s what the party started prioritizing again.

Ironically enough this probably helped 10x what her standing on stage and waving would have.

Progressives hurt their chances rubbing shoulders with neoliberals, but everytime a neoliberal tries to take their voters to the Republican party, it just ends up increasing Dem turnout.

Neoliberals just honestly don’t understand Dem voters fucking hate them.

Exactly.

Shit will stay bad, undeniably bad.

And I’m 2 years Dems get to campaign on hypotheticals for how much progressive policy would have helped if we had a progressive president.

The were looking at 2/3s majoritie to get a lot done, and insulation from remaining neoliberals who won’t vote with the party

It’s honestly the best path to super majorities, because we don’t have to try and get some stuff accomplished the next two years, there’s zero expectation that trump will let anything pass. So even if nothing gets fixed, it will still just help Dems.

Him ignoring the DNC instead of appointing a progressive chair and fixing the party back in 09 is the entire reason the last decade happened…

Don’t treat him like a hero for finally getting off his ass.

A non biased DNC would have seen Bernie easily win the 2016 primary

Shit would have been so much better if he took the five minutes to name any progressive name he could think of as DNC chair. But I’m pretty sure he just went with Bidena recommendation, because he had zero plans for the DNC.

“Abdul promises to get money out of politics,” Stevens said. “He can begin by getting Israel out of his explanation for everything Michigan cannot afford.”

That doesn’t even make sense…

No shit, she’s a neoliberal and she’s doing what every neoliberal would do.

That’s why she lost the primary. And why she’s willing to help Republicans win to stop progress.

This isnt “party infighting” she’s a sore loser who cares more about Israel than America. And in 3 months she won’t be an elected representative anymore.

the Democratic establishment is finally rallying around progressive Abdul El-Sayed,

“Finally” as in almost 3 months ago?

https://democrats.org/dnc-congratulates-abdul-el-sayed-on-winning-michigans-democratic-primary-for-u-s-senate/

Literally as soon as we’d want the party endorsing any candidate, because any earlier would have been during the primary.

Like, “the democratic establishment” is literally the DNC…

Neoliberals have a problem with Muslims…

We’re coasting off “leadership” (in regards to elected representatives) because they were elected in Jamie Harrison’s last days of running the DNC.

They’ve been lame ducks this entire congress, and have virtually no chance of retaining their leadership positions in January.

The next congress won’t have a biased DNC threatening to bankrupt their home state parties if they don’t toe the line on votes.

But to get the DNC on board would be tricky

Why?

The current chair said he wants a presidential candidate like Mamdani, both in regards to policy and charisma…

And he said that right after Mamdani won his primary, when people didn’t think he’d win the general…

So why do you think the same DNC wouldn’t support AOC?

The thing is, there’s “national DSA” they’re the ones who didn’t endorse AOC and are apparently full of Maoists…

Then there’s a shit ton of “local” DSA’s, and the one in NYC kept endorsing her.

The national seems to want to latch onto to the popularity of anyone remotely socialist, and then if that politician doesn’t do everything the Maoists want, they try to co-opt their popularity and throw them under the bus.

Anyways, that’s how you end up with “the DSA” doing great things, and doing absolutely mindless shit like telling people AOC is conservative and people shouldn’t vote.

It’s not one solid organization. And large parts of it are run by idiots

Fucking do it.

Everyone in the Federal government hates Cruz, it’s been the one issue everyone agrees on across the aisle

If trump puts Cruz on the SC, it virtually guarantees a 2/3 majority to drastically overhaul the SC, and motivate everyone to get it done, just to get rid of Cruz.
