capitalists gonna capitalism
Criminals gonna crime. FIFY.
same same.
“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!”
I know this is a hot take, but these are mostly in red states. Also, yesterday it was 15, so progress?
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 saying is basically admitting that they are right and you will fold when the cards are on the table? why take you seriously then?
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
Vote them all out at all costs. Time to get motivated. Moderates can be Republicans if they won’t provide public medical option. Affordable housing and a guarantee to a job.

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’
Fuck all of them. I hope they all get primaried to hell.
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”
🤮🤮🤮

Oh look at that, they’re writing a strongly worded letter!
They should write themselves a resignation letter for failing Americans
I’m literally shocked that one of the singers wasn’t Schmuck Schumer.
If the left did a Jan 6th then these “lesser evils” would be fighting and crawling over themselves be part of the firing squads.
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. 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.
This is frustrating but not surprising. Progressives and Democratic Socialists have been the red-haired stepchildren of the Democratic Party since Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. (Right after AOC won her primary, the DCCC changed its rules to deny support to other Democratic Socialist candidates. They were later pressured to revert the policy change.)
But we’ve already seen in the last decade evidence of active capture of the Democratic party and its institutions. Corporate lobbyists really prefer officials who are soulless and obedient and would rather get super wealthy than serve the public.
Sadly, it’s the same neoliberal disease that infects all of the industrialized world, which factors into why authoritarianism and even fascism are gaining traction in those nations as well.
The Democrats may not be effective in taking back power, but if they do, we have to remake the entire system to address corruption, the influence of money, and to create social safety nets stronger than before. If we appease the capitalists and neoliberals even a little bit, then we’ll be right back here again with some Trump-like figure in power and the Heritage Foundation wrecking the country’s institutions all over again.
What a bunch of cunts. Why don’t they fight Trump this hard?
They told you, they’re “Capitalists.” Seemed real proud of it, too.
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.

Yo, what the fuck? That’s just straight up treason against half the country.
They’re promising to screw you over
DINO lol. Democrats in name only
Here are the MAGA DINOS that just sacrificed their careers. Vote against them at every opportunity.
Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-NY) — Co-leading the initiative
Rep. Adam Gray (D-CA) — Co-leading the initiative
Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ)
Rep. Susie Lee (D-NV)
Rep. Don Davis (D-NC)
Rep. Vicente Gonzalez Jr. (D-TX)
Rep. Laura Gillen (D-NY)
Rep. Janelle Bynum (D-OR)
Rep. Kristin McDonald Rivet (D-MI)
Rep. Maggie Goodlander (D-NH)
Jessica Killin (candidate)
Marlene Galán Woods (candidate)
Bobby Pulido (candidate)
Those last three shouldn’t win. Don’t vote MAGA, vote 3rd party. If any of the rest survive their primary or elections, and the Dems take the majority, they should be shunned, and prohibited from holding any positions of authority on committees or anything else. Their careers are over.
26 palms that now have more money or most of those reading this thread
Unfortunately, unless you can get enough people on board that surpasses the number of MAGA, a vote for 3rd party might as well be a vote for MAGA. I don’t see how it’d end any different compared to the 1912 Presidential Election. I could be wrong though, maybe Trump has pissed off enough people to make 3rd party viable
I’ve been hearing that argument for a handful of decades and the Democrats still haven’t changed. When do we say enough is enough and I won’t keep kicking the football Lucy is holding for me?
Exactly we’ve been hearing that for 40 years now at least and every election cycle dems move farther right right behind the republicans.
I hope ranked choice voting continues to make inroads in the US. Massachusetts and Alaska now have it for many statewide elections, and as more people are exposed to it hopefully the part of the opposition that is rooted in unfamiliarity will recede.
Being able to express a first choice for a third party, and then rank a second choice of the lesser evil of the major parties and have it count has the potential to reshape campaigning and voting behavior.
Small correction: The Democratic Socialists are the “DINOs”.
These listed are actual party-line Democrats.
The narrative framing is coordinated now that democrats “allowed” fascism by not controlling their opposition party’s secret agent spy democrats??? …just like how democrats were the party fighting FOR slaves in the civil war because of cross party corrupting co-option turn-coating exactly like this but just the reverse now? Cool cool.
