@JP613@AlwaysFlacko Progressive for the time being? Sure, I buy it.
Progressive still once he's one of the ~600 most well-connected people in the country?
Dubious. Very, very dubious.
@JP613@AlwaysFlacko So if an incurious dumbfuck becomes a progressive, it's probably because of something related to personal lived experience. And that is precarious territory when becoming a Senator is going to so radically alter his personal lived experiences going forward.
@LonesomeWest Yeah no shit, because that argument has already been made and he's pointing out the insufficiency of the counter. Without a valid rebuttal, the original left-wing argument stands undefeated and needn't be reiterated.
@TheLeftDotOrg@TheNintendoNer4@OrganizerMemes yeah, your silence is an answer.
So when you say they need to work with others to get things passed, you explicitly mean the things OTHER LEGISLATORS want passed. You are criticizing DSA for not doing what DSA wants WHEN YOU DON'T EVEN WANT WHAT THEY DO.
@TheLeftDotOrg@TheNintendoNer4@OrganizerMemes I'm not the one wasting time here. I asked you for details on what you consider a good universal healthcare system.
Do you actually want universal HEALTHCARE or do you think universal INSURANCE COVERAGE is the same thing?
Do you want single-payer? Yes or no?
@NateGearySports No. Byram was more above average as a D3 than Stanley/Timmins/Schenn/Kesselring/et al were below average as D6s.
This is still VERY promising, though.
@TheLeftDotOrg@TheNintendoNer4@OrganizerMemes Do they? Or are we facing the objective reality that there literally are not enough Reps and Senators who ACTUALLY WANT to pass Medicare For All?
@TheLeftDotOrg@TheNintendoNer4@OrganizerMemes Why haven't you won a Super Bowl?
Not you and a team, not asking why you haven't had a job with the Eagles front office and got a ring because of it or something.
Why haven't you, alone, by yourself, won a Super Bowl 1-on-11?
@TheLeftDotOrg@TheNintendoNer4@OrganizerMemes How are things accomplished in Congress?
Voting, right? Accomplishments are measured in legislation, and you need votes for legislation to pass.
We agree on that?
So....what the fuck do you expect DSA to do as a superminority of like 6 people?
@TheLeftDotOrg@TheNintendoNer4@OrganizerMemes So VBNMW was never valid to begin with then, correct? Which means the principal reason y'all hate the left- a perceived failure to vote for the people you wanted us to- is and always has been bullshit. Which means you have no excuse not to vote for leftists.
They never comment on this primary because it destroys every narrative. Rich white people in Westchester forced out a black congressman who got more than 80% of the vote with black and hispanic voters in the Bronx
