@kilday_morgan @bobbyvx64 So not supporting a genocide makes you a nazi?

You seem like a smart person lol

[Tom @tbroomm]

@WhizWitSports Well that makes me feel old

[Tom @tbroomm]

@bobbyvx64 @kilday_morgan So you guys are cool then with an entire flank of your party switching to 3rd party??

I have voted democrat in every election but if you’re telling me you don’t want us then don’t yell and scream when a 3rd party candidate takes 2-8% of the vote in a general election

@FanSince09 I completely forgot that guy existed after unfollowing him.

God that guy sucks

@WonderKing82 What do you think the senate map looked like before the primaries lol

[Curt Mills @CurtMills]

Barbarism. US-financed and defended. Evil and not even in our self-interest

The American relationship with Israel? “Worse than a crime, it is a blunder”

[Tom @tbroomm]

@rickjeff78 But he’s the mayor of NY, not 80% of the country. This is such a boilerplate statement from a mayor of a large city.

What a wild take.

Seems like someone has Mamdani-derangement syndrome

As much as I hate the Democratic Party this is why it’s important to vote for Senate Dems this year and important for then not to confirm SCOTUS judges.

3 conservatives could retire and cement this court for another generation

[Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine]

Not a single Democrat or self-proclaimed moderate should vote to confirm anybody to the Supreme Court over the next two years. And if you have a problem with that, blame Mitch McConnell.

[A Left-Wing Account ™️ @PushDemsLeft]

"Big Tent" Dems the second someone left of center wins a primary:

@groypgamble @iszambe @cassioolivveira Ah yes, if you ever smile near someone they cannot rape you

Moderate dems after the GOP overturns Roe, guts voting rights, and collapses entire democratic institutions: When they go low we go high but also use curse words now :)

Moderate dems after DSA wins two primaries:

[Van Lathan Jr @VanLathan]

The DSA momentum isn’t about the DSA, it’s about people.

I see all the quibbling and bickering, but not a lot of understanding.

People in NY cast votes for candidates they think actually care about what they’re going through. Same way they did for Mamdani.

But instead of reflecting, the establishment continues to project. We’ve seen it before, it’s partly how we got here.

I don’t imagine that what happened in New York could happen in Baton Rouge … yet. And when I say yet I mean YET. If a people first, economic liberation movement finds its political stride in South, its curtains.

It’s hard for a lot of Black southerners I know to critique the Dems, an elder of mine recently told me she votes Democrat OUT OF RESPECT FOR DR KING.

(I told her Dr. King might’ve been DSA, because he held some very strident anti-capitalist/anti imperialist views. She then told me to worry about my weight and not about Dr King’s legacy. That actually happened 😂😂😂���😂😂)

I’m not saying that’s going to change, but I am saying those same people I talk to (particularly the ones under 45) aren’t frustrated. They’re tired. Frustrated needs a rally. Tired needs a change. They’re ripe for new voices.

The best outcome here would be a meeting of the minds. It would Robin reminding Batman of the ideals he started with, and Batman educating Robin on the structural realities of the world we live in, and how we make allies in that world. They then shake hands and vandalize the Joker’s reflecting pool.

That won’t happen though. Political intractability is by design. Politicians fight for their existence while forgetting about yours.

You do not matter. Threats to power matter. Threats to systems matter. They built it the way they wanted it, they’ve been milking it for years. They want their milk cheap while yours gets more expensive.

We say politics is a beauty pageant, but in actuality, it’s a slaughterhouse. You think you’re the butcher, when really, you’re the cow.

But man. Somewhere there’s a candidate that just wants you to have a living wage and healthcare. Just wants your kid not have to die in a foreign war. Maybe they can’t even get it done, but that’s sincerely what they want.

I hope you get to vote for them.

[onion person @CantEverDie]

oh no they’re going to start calling democrats the same thing they’ve been calling democrats for 20 years now

[Tom @tbroomm]

@harrisonjaime So don’t tell us to vote blue no matter who then, or count on us to vote for someone like Biden or Kamala

[Sophie Vershbow @svershbow]

Brad Lander and Micah Lasher are Jewish New Yorkers being sent to congress by Jewish New Yorkers and non-Jewish non-New Yorkers seem to have a real problem with that allegedly on behalf of...Jewish New Yorkers.
