@gwenmcdonald1 Everything is expensive because of what’s happening in the Middle East, which we’re only involved in because of Israel and AIPAC. Well, rent is a separate issue, but it still stems from politicians being bought and paid for.
The world is drifting inexorably towards unstoppable climate change, increasing inequality, authoritarian governments, failed states and possibly nuclear war. Then they tell you 'socialists are crazy'.
@trouble_man90 What are you talking about? Two presidential losses, a conservative supreme court, loss of both chambers of congress and the one time dems won they did nothing to the people who attempted a coup. And every time a leftist tried to do anything the dems tried to stop them.
why would the progressives start their own party when the values are the same in messaging but the establishment dems are the ones not delivering? shouldn’t establishment dems start their own party of accomplishing nothing?
@ok_post_guy So tired of this argument. Because, why would lefties actively go to a republican rally or anything? The aggravation we have is towards the supposed opposition party that fails to be that. We’re voicing what we want out of the democrats
@mistergeezy That’s great and proud of him for that. Problem is he’s become an ineffective leader in recent years and has become out of touch with his base on a number of policies.
Here's the cycle:
- New fresh dems/lefties energize voters.
- Trump calls them "communists" etc.
- Centrist dems call them "communists" too, instead of recognizing the policies that resonate and defending them.
- The gop then calls ALL DEMS "communists"
- Dems lose.
@ethanmwolf Tell that to the Scandinavians. Besides, this is very “we’ve already tried listening only to our donors and noy the voters, it has to work this time!”
@groove_sdc Most did vote for Clinton, Biden and Harris, I know I did and many others. You’re the ones who spent 10 years giving mediocre candidates, brow beating progressive candidates and insisting “vote blue no matter who” so…follow your own words or eat shit? 🤷🏻♂️
