I get downvoted every time I call out establishment liberal dems for things like backtracking on trans rights, etc, in order to entice conservative voters, who will probably never vote for them, based on their so-called effective campaign platform of “Orange man bad,” without any message of changing material conditions for citizens.
Dems willing to compromise in order to get elected and maintain their seats will absolutely join with GOP on issues like trans rights. I don’t know how the “vote blue line” gaslighters can’t comprehend this.
The reason the hold so much responsibility in this is they’re supposed to be the buffer against crazy alt-right fascism, but so many capitulate to it, like Hakeem Jeffries. They should be the ones fighting things like genocide in Gaza. Instead, they take the same AIPAC money, when they could be championing human rights and trying to pull anti-Zionist GOPs towards their direction, not the other way around.
Case in point: Reagancrats and Clinton. Liberal Dems don’t stand up for workers, they just go with the zeitgeist of the times. Because they inside trade and take bribes from special interests, too. They are not pro-worker or pro-social justice, they are pro-status quo.
I believe in voting. Vote! Don’t sit at home. Vote for candidates who are truly leftists and pro-worker and pro-human rights.
“Uncomfortable” does not mean “is an important voting issue”. There are policy questions that would affect people’s lives that have much greater support in left-inclined voters that get disregarded because “people only care about kitchen table issues”.
Republicans care about this because there’s a constant culture war being pushed by their propaganda to distract from everything else being unpopular and it’s all they have left. The guy who leans Democratic and is uncomfortable has other things that matter to him. When it comes to voting and vibes, most Republicans probably do too.
Especially when no one in the US pays any attention to women’s sports. All of a sudden, it becomes a big issue when scapegoats are needed to perpetuate the cultural war. 😂
I don’t understand how people devote so much time to staring at sports games on a TV, when you could be enriching your life with family, hobbies or constructive things like meal prepping on Sundays, so one doesn’t have to shove expensive convenience junk from Mondelez, Nestle and Monsanto in their mouths during the week.
I think one point of the article is that progressive and leftist candidates have the odds stacked against them by the party itself. We see this repeating now for candidates like Angie Nixon. The silver lining is that leftist candidates are 10x better because they have to be in order to win.
None of that addresses my point that none of you fuckin people vote in the fuckin primaries. If cons can tea party the republicans into fuckin nazis, goddamn leftists can tea party the dems into something halfway socialist, BUT THEY DON’T FUCKING VOTE IN PRIMARIES.
Leftists do vote in the primaries. They vote more then centrists do. That’s not in doubt. The question is how we are supposed to handle the traitors. What do you do with snakes that hide their colors during the primary, but then betray the base during the general? You could say, “just vote for the traitor now, and vote them out next primary,” but that’s tone-deaf advice. First it rewards traitors. Second, when the next election comes around, suddenly the same exact people telling you “wait til the next primary” change their tune to “we can’t give up an incumbent seat in Ohio, this primary challenge is irresponsible!”
For liberals, there simply is never a proper time to punish libshit dems that betray their voters.
I really hope the republicans are paying you for all the work you’re doing for them. Fuck off with your out of touch bullshit. If progressives voted in primaries we’d have a progressive Dem party but you don’t engage in good faith so fuck off woody.
It’s a long-honored tradition that liberals fuck over progressives.
And other liberals. They mainly enjoy the fucking anyone over part.

vote in the damn primaries first!
100%. Primaries are the most important, way more important than the general elections.
They’re probably trying to entice their own centrists and not MAGA.

This stupid ass obsession with sports permeates everything in American culture in stupefying ways.

Established rich people in the Democratic party did this
If leftists and progressives actually voted in primaries none of the fuckery would have amounted to anything, but they don’t.
I think one point of the article is that progressive and leftist candidates have the odds stacked against them by the party itself. We see this repeating now for candidates like Angie Nixon. The silver lining is that leftist candidates are 10x better because they have to be in order to win.
That’s why it’s so important for leftists and progressives to vote in the primaries. But it’s pretty well too late now, innit.
I’ll just leave this here.

I mean, I agree, but there’s big astro turf money in tea partying repubs into Nazis where the opposite is true for the left.
