He can’t run for president but he’s already running the country.
Mamdani’s wrong.
A real progressive is never going to come within sniffing distance of the presidency. After Bernie’s primaries got rigged the Democrats were sued for running rigged primaries, they admitted it, and it’s perfectly legal for them to do so.
That’s what all those shiny superdelegates are for.
Stop huffing 10 year old copium and engage with reality. Progressive politics are on the ascendancy, and people are ABSOLUTELY FUCKING SICK of Radical Centrism™️. Schumer and Jeffries need to go, for sure, but this is the best time to launch a Progressive in years.
*was
And actually, it was the best time in decades. But we’ve seen how this ends. Obama made extravagant progressive promises, had a supermajority, and all he did with it was advance fascism, expand the wars he’d promised to end, and make health care more expensive.
Until I see them actually vote otherwise, I have to assume Democrats have every intention of wasting the next two years and making themselves wealthier, and in 2028, handing things back off to Republicans.
Hoping I’m wrong, but we’ll see.
A progressive or a progressive except for palestine?
someone is still progressive even if they don’t move forward in all areas
It just a genocide the crimes of all crimes, not a big deal.
what percentage of the Palestinians have died so far?
I hope we’re not still pretending Genocide Joe was a progressive.
It’s more important to get the losers like Schumer, Pelosi, and Jeffries out first.
You build a house from the foundation and the democrats have been blackballing progressives for their own monetary gain for… well forever.
Schumer and Jeffries? Absolutely. Not only do their personal politics not line up with the party’s new popular mandate, they just fucking suck at their job. They want nothing more than to sit back, do nothing, and funnel endless money to Israel while letting things rot. Pelosi, I’m less convinced, since she at least seems savvy enough to seize on a movement, even if she doesn’t really agree with it. Wouldn’t mind seeing her get scrapped for fresh blood though.
This is the best setting Progressives have had to make real change in this country in DECADES. Let’s not blow it. Call your reps and tell them to make Schumer and Jeffries pound sand.
On a completely irrelevant note, I am digging the mustache look. Not that the full beard was also not nice.
He needed a long beard to troll the Islamophobes and racists
He’s all set for Mo-vember!
I for one hope they impeach the president.
And try to end the war in Iran.
There’s trickiness ahead and Dems are going to be blamed even more whatever they do, so they might just as well go for the jugular. Well, as far as they can.
I think he’s a big part of the blue wave. He showed that people can get stuff done, not be insert racist anything, and get shit done. Abdul really needs to thank him too.
AOC baby
She needs Chuck’s job first.
I don’t think AOC would do it. She absolutely could, but my impression of her is that she’d rather take the safe path and run for Chuck’s seat.
We absolutely need a real progressive candidate to win the democratic nomination in 2028 in order to prevent another fascist regime in the near future.
But I also do not want to waste an AOC presidential run before she’s successfully built momentum in the senate.
We are in dire need of more prominent progressives.
Unfortunately, I think we’ll get a Progressive male president before we get a female anything president.
I still hear people talk about how they wouldn’t want a woman president, and some of these people are democratic women.
fucking …alabama… just voted for a trans canidate, the idea clinton or harris lost because they were woman is nonsense. they lost because they were very obviously establishment stooges. one a career parasite most well-known for not having enough self-respect to leave a cheater, and the other flipflopped on all their big rallying cries within 24hrs. it was immediately noticable when harris was brought back on script…not too mention not having a primary and running a fucking Cheney endorsement at the DNC.
they lost cause they sucked ass and swallow. for the average person, if you have to choose between a corrupt pos smart enough to hide it and someone whose so goddamn proud of their corroption they brag about it…the latter is a known factor and therefor easier to work around.
Hilary lost because of the electoral system ,she won the popular vote
She would have won the electoral college if she won more states, which she would have done if she wasn’t an establishment Democrat but actually had a popular platform.
If there was no electoral college she would have won. You are proving my point
@IronBird nonetheless. Still Better in every way than the Orange #pedophile
Agreed. The misogyny still runs deep in this country, usually expressed as, “She’s just not a good candidate!”
The bar is on the floor, for boys. We already know what kinds of men can and have been good enough to get elected. It takes Penis to spell President, apparently, and it doesn’t matter that it’s out of order.
You used to say a muslim senator will never win. You used to say a black person will never win. It is pure ba to hide failures
I never said those things. I did say, “Well damn, my party would rather run a black man than a woman,” and twice I’ve said, “Well damn, our country would rather elect a criminal than a woman.”
Make that three times. I was around for Shirley Chisolm’s run (but not old enough to vote) and like everyone else I knew a black woman couldn’t get nominated in 1972. The Dems ran George McGovern instead, and Richard Nixon won in a landslide.
Like I said, for the boys the bar is on the floor.
