@Georgesantos Oh my God, enough. Your president is the most bigoted, misogynist, racist, hate-filled bag of lard to ever disgrace the White House. Miss me.
@TheresaArueyin1 If you care this much about something that literally does not affect you in the slightest, I’d argue the mental instability lies with you.
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. 💩
@RobSchneider So it’s only ok if the sitting president effectively endorses the sedition, and then his followers proceed to desecrate the Capitol? You have such a brilliant legal mind, Rob. Stick to making terrible movies please.
The only way to not understand this is if you are actively willing yourself to not see it. The man has made over 2 billion in office, and engages in insider trading and market manipulation on a literal daily basis. You are uniquely stupid if you don’t get this. It’s literally happening in front of your face.
