I'm tired of being told that, to be a progressive, I now must swear allegiance to crazy ideas.

I'm a strong Democrat, with a winning bipartisan track record. I'm rooted in progressive ideals and policies: criminal justice reform, Green New Deal, Medicare for All, free education, clean air and water. These are ideas I have fought for my entire adult life.

But some people in groups like the DSA are pushing an agenda FAR outside those ideals. Supporting Hamas is not progressive. "No police, no prisons, no borders" is not progressive. Celebrating the murder of Israeli civilians is not progressive. These ideas are REGRESSIVE.

If there were no police or prisons, if anyone in your neighborhood could do whatever they wanted, while politicians cheered on terror groups — would that represent PROGRESS to you? No, that would be a step back. Those are REGRESSIVE ideas.

On the other hand, if everybody could see a doctor when they got sick, get a good, free education and breathe clean air — would that represent progress? Yes. Those are PROGRESSIVE ideas.

They are NOT the same thing. And the difference matters.

Some defend the far left by claiming they only want Nordic-style social democracy. If that were true, I might applaud them. I want those policies, too! But what does universal healthcare have to do with Hamas? With abolishing all law enforcement? With erasing all borders? With treating every wealthy person as a villain? Ideas matter. And these are terrible ideas.

Right now, extremists are trying to sneak backwards proposals into our party, hoping mainstream Democrats are too frustrated with MAGA and the Democratic Party establishment to notice.

But we see you.

Yes, we want our Democratic Party to be a big tent. But we don’t need "party poopers. So STOP pooping in the punch bowl — and telling us the turds are ice cubes.

They aren't. And we are smart enough to know the difference. 💩

@smerconish today's show was unchacteristically shallow. We need less noise and more educated discourse. An IPO isn't public ownership???

Constitutionally, America is a Democratic Republic. However, it has wildly popular policies that are tenets of Social Democracy AND Socialist Democracy. If you support programs such as Medicare and SS or own equities, you are already socialist!

The President of the United States defending Christianity and attacking godless Communism.

I VOTED FOR THIS 🔥🇺🇸

@JamesCarville This is the first time I've disagreed with you. Stock ownership, Medicare, and Social Security are wildly popular socialist policies. Ignore the "socialist" noise and focus on the core tenets. Let's start by understanding and discussing nwhat these are.

What’s the deal with trump always copying Hitler? 👇🏿👇🏿👇🏿

🚨 The numbers are clear: America was better off when President @JoeBiden left office than it is after nearly a year and a half of Trump.

On every major economic indicator, Biden was better. Better economy. Better president. Better man.

What happened in 2024 was one of the biggest self-owns in American history. Completely avoidable. And the people who put us here own it.

@smerconish after all the psycho-analysis is complete, the conclusion is simple: "DJT is just not good at the job."

raping a 4-5 year old in a church.

My father was a Holocaust Survivor. After Trump's escalator ride in 2015, he spoke the prophetic words " he sounds just like Hitler." It's a good idea to pay attention to those that lived history and not repeat the mistake of those saying they were over reacting in 1939.
