@ProudSocialist@JoeBiden I’m about as Left as they come. But there’s more than one direct action to take this year. One can take a path of self righteousness and vote 3rd Party, or one can do the responsible thing and vote straight Democratic. You can’t end corporatism if we are taken over by fascism.
@iambriian @Lorca_VanGogh @andrewfarleyy @aquariaofficial There is no viable 3rd Party in the US. The system is purposefully rigged to benefit the 2 party system. Casting a vote for a 3rd Party is a throw away vote that benefits nobody. It just lets one continue to feel self righteous.
@ProudSocialist@AOC@4aPeoplesParty Usually I vote for the most qualified candidate based on their experience and where they stand on issues. This year I’m voting straight Democratic. One can’t end corporatism if we are taken over by fascism.
She was small in stature but even the tallest looked up to her. Her voice was soft but her message rang loud and clear and will echo forever. Thank you, RBG. Rest In Peace. Respectfully, Dolly Parton
A reminder to young folks working in advocacy/campaigns/politics/movement spaces these places rely on the fact that you are willing to work yourself to the bone to fight for a better world. Do not let them take advantage of you.
@Viciousgirl@ProudSocialist@DNC I believe her too. But you don’t get to use someone else’s trauma to excuse your own selfish behavior. That’s just gross and dehumanizing.
Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA): These gotcha books don't really interest me that much.
CNN's Pamela Brown: He's on the record. He's on the record.
Kennedy: These gotcha books don't really interest me that much.
Brown: He did 18 interviews with Bob Woodward ... He's recorded.
Michael Cohen: "If he wins, he's going to automatically Day # 1 start thinking about how he can change the Constitution for a third term and then a fourth term."
I don’t care what the next few news cycles bring: Trump knew exactly how deadly COVID was and actively downplayed it leading to 195,000 Americans dying.
That’s the only Trump story that matters.
@Viciousgirl@ProudSocialist@DNC Meanwhile, playing victim is for the weak. TRUE progressives are fighters! Stand up and fight, instead of protest voting and grand standing. Empty gestures achieve nothing.
@Viciousgirl@ProudSocialist@DNC Getting a seat at the table is the only step progressives have right now. You don’t even get a table of Trump wins re-election. If #Medicare4All is your only goal, you’d take the steps necessary to make sure progressives have the best chance they can to push our agenda forward
@mymichaelryan @squidco2k16 @jchiles@ProudSocialist@DNC That’s an avoidance of the question I asked. If Trump wins, how do progressives pass progressive legislation? What is the end goal?
