And what happens when we elect Democrats to all three branches of government?
Genocide
Corporate for profit healthcare
More oil drilling on federal land
No codification of Roe
No minimum wage hike
Weird, right?
Almost as if they work for the same masters.
FROM DOROTHY LENNON:
As Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez considers a 2028 presidential run, she’s telling people privately, “…the left was not there for her, that they are never pleased." This comes as she previously told reporter Ryan Grim, "As much as I love them, I did not win my election because of DSA. Or even [Justice Democrats]. Or any of these orgs.”
I don’t like using any profanity. In this case I’ll make an exception. Fuck you, AOC!
We were always there for you. We canvassed for you. We phone banked for you. We donated to you. A lot of people and organizations were responsible for your 2018 victory.
How did you respond? You claimed we were visiting violence upon you for trying to get you and your colleagues to force a vote on Medicare for All. You voted “present” on funding Israel’s Iron Dome. You told those of us who oppose Zionism we were antisemites.
We didn’t abandon you. YOU abandoned US. Take your self-victimization bullshit and peddle it elsewhere.
@jaredsblank@AOC What have we been "winning" with @AOC?
Nothing. The answer is nothing.
She is in no way the person she ran as in 2018 and every cycle she bends further over to accommodate the establishment in return for nothing but personal gain.
American democracy has a gaping head wound and the Democratic Party is so excited because they are going to have a chance to put a Band-Aid on it after the mid terms.
We need a real opposition party.
This is an extremely lame gobbledygook answer. Even if AOC has some personal issue with @saikatc, he is clearly the best candidate from a left perspective and that should matter more than whatever her personal grievance is. She also had no problem endorsing several other candidates so none of this response even makes sense.
As long as Democrats take money from AIPAC they aren't anti-genocide.
As long as they take money from the health insurance industry they aren't pro Medicare for All.
As long as they take money from oil and coal they aren't anti climate change.
This list is endless.
I want a real opposition party in my lifetime and an important aspect of making that happen is to keep pointing out what a half filled bag of shit the Democratic Party is.
They will never offer you more than the discount version of whatever evil the GOP has in mind.
Last week, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced the creation of a universal health system for the entire country.

Joe Biden had 4 years to reinstate the Iran nuclear deal that Trump ripped up. He refused. And Kamala Harris didn't run on reinstating it either. In fact, she saber-rattled at Iran during interviews.
What good is electing Democrats to "clean up Trump's mess" when they never do it?
The term “DoorDash grandma” is not a feel-good story. It’s a failed society.
Older workers shouldn’t have to depend on gig work to survive.
We could be expanding Social Security—instead of giving tax breaks to billionaires and spending billions on war.
This Grandma would not have had to get a job at DoorDash to pay for her husband’s cancer treatments and be used as a prop by Trump if we had a universal nationalized healthcare system in the United States.
Too on point not to share, “Aussie reply to Trump rant about NATO not being there for us.
Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
"NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your fucking mouth. Credit (borrowed from) Jim Scroggins - original author 📷 unknown”
