Three Republicans and one Democrat have been voting together, loosening how money is raised and spent in politics at what one outside watchdog called “breathtaking” speed.
Weird because a whole bunch of us showed up for a primary where there wasn’t any choice and still voted uncommitted. The dem response to that is to shriek we want trump to win, because it turns out they don’t care about our values just that we check the box that keeps them in power.
The choice was Dean Phillips. If you didn’t want him either then yeah, too bad. The party isn’t great but let’s not act like Bernie didn’t lose twice in a row. Where were the progressives to vote him in then? Probably online whining but then not showing up. Or… Just not enough of them. Either way, same result. If you only make up 20% of the party it’s insane to expect only “true” progressive candidates. And not ones that stood in picket lines, forgave student loans, passed the biggest climate change bill ever, etc.
You see what you want to see.
What does this mean?
Someone who can’t come to grips that their lack of reliability is why they’re continuously sidelined politically.
I vote every election.
Progressives are sidelined because the party is run by conservative shit.
Yeah surely it’s not the “bOtH sIDes” crap and third party voting. And the lack of showing up for primaries.
If progressives were as numerous and dedicated as you think you’d have no issue winning elections.
Truth hurts.
Since we can be safely ignored, don’t blame us when your shit candidates lose. We told you they were shit.
When you’re ignored for another few decades because you’re flakes don’t be surprised when you don’t get what you want and society regresses further.
It’s almost as if you make up 20% of the party you don’t control the entire apparatus but are essential to the operation.
“Essential” means “safe to ignore”?
Here’s the pity party…
Didn’t get everything on Christmas so let’s abstain…
Learn how to sit at a big table like an adult.
