“Vote blue no matter who!”
People are voting for blue candidates who promise to do good things and not do bad things.
“Over my dead body they are!”
There’s always a part of that phrase that gets left out
“Vote blue no matter who…. during the general election”
Prior to that. Primary the hell out of anyone that isn’t progressive. Change the party from the bottom up. And guess what, you’re starting to see that actually happen and it scares the establishment. Let’s keep it going.
That’s actually started in a way.
Hilarious that candidates are being endorsed by the mayor of New York.
New York City has a population greater than all but twelve states. It’s like if the governor of Virginia were a wildly popular national figure and started endorsing primary candidates.
Yeah that makes it make sense.
Anyway, it’s good, because the bloke stands for something decent and it is reps like him who will pull the country out of its problems if that’s possible.
Adam Gray won his June 2nd primary, running against a more progressive Democratic challenger but also two Republicans in a California Jungle Primary. A Republican finished second and will be his opponent in November. The progressive finished 4th.
Ok? So does that mean you’re going to vote for the Republican since the progressive candidate lost?
Oh it’s not my district. I’m just pointing out that a lot of Democrats and Independents in this conservative district probably chose the Moderate Democrat because he had a chance, and they didn’t want to wind up with 2 Republicans in the final.
Rotating villains
that saying is basically admitting that they are right and you will fold when the cards are on the table? why take you seriously then?
I know this is a hot take, but these are mostly in red states. Also, yesterday it was 15, so progress?

Primary hit list. They all need to go.
Every single one of them supports big corporations over people
Bynum has been just a parade of milquetoast disappointment for OR5. I’m kind of surprised Gluesenkamp-Perez isn’t on the list, maybe she’s too conservative to count as a ‘moderate dem’
Get got, Gottheimer. What a shithead
Yeah, not at all surprised to see him on the list tbh.
He’s consistently on the wrong side of history whenever an opportunity presents itself.
He described himself as “socially liberal, fiscally conservative, and passionately centrist”
🤮🤮🤮

Im just over economic growth, we don’t need anymore economic growth. We make enough food housing and medicine to take care of everyone twice over. There’s zero benefit to more economic growth, it’s just more money for billionaires to waste labor on luxuries like insanely huge party yachts and weddings in fairy tale settings.
Yeah and constant economic growth has huge downsides like global ecological collapse and climate change.
Bill Clinton named an airport after Ronald Reagan, the guy who fired something like 10,000 FAA air traffic controllers for wanting to strike.
Biden told the rail road engineers who were almost literally begging to be treated like human beings they couldn’t strike, here’s more money you don’t have any time to spend, and kiss my ass because “I am the pro-union” president. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_United_States_railroad_labor_dispute
Newsom pushed through a age verification law. How can that work unless it is a national login page? Reddit, imgur, lemmy/piefed, and pretty much everything else would require a digital bouncer at the door because none of this is designed to keep a tiny fraction of the countries total population from being psychologically scared like all the rest of us have been.
Establishment Democrats have been enabling the Republicans for decades.
Makes much more sense how we got here when you realize the Democrats haven’t been that different from Republicans.
They push the exact same neoliberal policies, they just act slightly nicer to gay people while they do it.
Fascism with a pride sticker.
I bet they keep this pledge, they’ll be like "sorry minimum wage is still 7.50 in 2030, BUT we did oppose that Mamdami guy! We promise to raise minimum wage by 2040, super swear believe it!
Liberals will always side with fascists before they side with communists, as fascism doesn’t threaten their power.
Threaten it? It gives them more…
There was one time they didn’t, and the rest of the libs haven’t forgiven them
What a bunch of cunts. Why don’t they fight Trump this hard?
Because he has enough policies that align with them that they don’t actually hate him.
Isn’t that just nuts? Like, boy I’m against his baby killing policy, but I sure do like moderate tax cuts.
I know. What fucking pieces of shit. All of them.
The Senate Dem leader Chuck Schumer kowtows to this fictional family he invented who he admits are MAGA supporters (that is when he isn’t putting America behind Israel). So the voters who elected this stupid fuck come third, at best. The rest of the Dem leadership seems to be fine with this ideological cuckoldry of playing to lose. I really do wish we had a viable third party to work with and could be rid of these clowns.
“We promise America we will continue to make sure our donors can fuck you all as hard and rough as they want.”
We are capitalist, not socialist
It’s pathetic that they didn’t even read the wiki page on socialism before declaring themselves to be against it. They don’t seem to be aware of market socialism and mixed economies. If they truly had the best interests of their constituents in mind, they would perform basic research before ruling out entire economic philosophies.
They don’t seem to be aware of market socialism.
No offense to Americans but i find them insular as if no other ideas exist if it is not from the US. I don’t blame ordinary Americans because they are conditioned by corporate media that ultimately cater to the capitalist narrative.
capitalists gonna capitalism
Criminals gonna crime. FIFY.
same same.
Remember their names when they try to beg for a vote.
Oh look at that, they’re writing a strongly worded letter!
They should write themselves a resignation letter for failing Americans
They signed a pledge to maybe send an email. That can’t happen until they choose a caterer committee.
If the left did a Jan 6th then these “lesser evils” would be fighting and crawling over themselves be part of the firing squads.
Democratic socialists are truly the greatest threat to our glorious nation if you ignore literally everything else.
Dont trust these dem socs. They will let this country descend into authoritarianism! As we all know, neo-libs have done all the heavy lifting when it comes to that and to imagine these dirty dem socs come in at the last minute and take all the credit.
