    Who are these leftist policy politicians that leftists refuse to vote for? I have a suspicion that what you’re referring to as leftist policy is actually liberal policy, and you either don’t understand or care to make the distinction.

      DNC platform:

      Bodily autonomy

      Tax the rich

      Remove money from politics

      Healthcare for all

      Regulating industries

      Protecting the environment

      Renewable power

        That’s not borne out by their actions in office. Their actions in office indicate that their platform is genocide and nothing else.

        Make all the excuses you want. You know better.

          Half of the things on that list were directly accomplished in small parts by the Biden and Obama admins, despite having 48 or less DNC in over 13 years. The problem with your claim is that anybody with a browser can see for themselves that you’re trying to revise history.

            Keep parroting this lie. It shows how honest you are in all other things.

                They had 50 for biden’s first two years. At least, those are the numbers when you aren’t playing stupid dishonest semantic games and not counting two independents who caucus with democrats.

                And since you’re going to go there if I don’t head it off right now, Lieberman was not in the senate during those two years, so pivoting to him like he isn’t one of your personal heroes for working with centrist democrats like Ben Nelson to kill the public option isn’t relevant. I’m saying this because you tried to pull that shit last time I called you out on this “tHeY oNlY hAd 48” lie.

                  The 117th Congress was controlled by Republicans in 2021 until after special elections which had from 46 up to 48 DNC along with 2 IND Bernie Sanders and Angus King caucusing allowing DNC to pick majority speaker even though Republicans held more seats.

                  The DNC have not had more than 48 in over 13 years.

                    Thank you for detailing the stupid dishonest semantic games I mentioned. The two independents you’re not counting because it makes your party look as bad as it is? They weren’t the turncoats. The turncoats both had a D in parentheses after their names and therefore your unquestioning support until they left the party.
