@ErikSperling@HamawyForNJ@RepJoshG@wolfblitzer We started it by overthrowing their democratically elected government and installed a right wing puppet because they wanted to nationalize their oil.
@TheOhioRob 95% of voters don't give a shit who their representatives are as long as their lives improve.
The point is that Schumer will not do the things needed to improve their lives. If we aren't ever allowed to criticize leadership then we don't live in a representative democracy
My favorite stat that centrists like Matthew Yglesias are throwing around is that DSA underperformed with a cute little chart. They list Chris Raab as an underperformer, because in 2024 the PA-3 nominee ran unopposed and got 100% of the vote, while Rabb only got 93% of the vote!
@Tommy_Nicoletti@KingOfKrom@David_Mauricioo Many people, myself included, showed up to vote for Dems in deep red states knowing our votes probably wouldn't change a thing. We did it anyway.
It's expecting nothing to ask Dems in Congress who get paid to vote to show up and do their jobs, outcome nonwithstanding.
@Snatchycakes_@KingOfKrom@David_Mauricioo Thanks for confirming that centrists are retarded cucks who refuse to demand their representatives do the basic fucking job we pay them for!
Yep.
Massive electoral overpeformers like James Talarico ran as far away from Bernie’s message as possible — lambasting a rigged economic system that makes it impossible for working people to get by, calling out the greed of billionaires and advocating raising their taxes, focusing on a top-versus-bottom vs. left-versus-right division, raising the minimum wage, getting big money out of politics…
HEY WAIT A MINUTE
@AuthorMJClifton This is pure cope

@TheMissingCake@86themike I would certainly feel good if our elected representatives did their basic jobs. The ones that we elect them and pay them to do. Considering how many people took the time to vote Democrat in deep red states.
If you weren't stupid you'd be asking for that too.
@NeverTr74704466@admcrlsn He needs the votes first, which are not there
Acting like he alone can change everything immediately is childish, as is pretending we arent moving in the right direction by getting another M4A Senator in office
Hopefully we'll be able to compromise and get SOME form of UHC soon
@JonathanZasloff@admcrlsn Conflating a leadership PAC with the massive amounts of dark money and Super PAC spending caused by Citizens United is the EXACT kind of braindead dishonesty I expect from a centrist.
