TBH I don’t think he was outspent at all. DSA affiliated candidates have so many dark money groups and untraceable non profits attached to them. They love to claim theyre “grassroots” but have tons of outside money coming in. I don’t believe a word they say.
"AES was outspent 9-1." Yeah, and Stevens was called everything but a child of God on all platforms on the internet and was harassed while fake folks acted as canvassers lying to folks. Y'all want to be victims so bad. Take the W and get the man elected as Senator. There are always 2 sides to every
bros have kept the name calling, slurs and harassment for a decade. they’re not allies to any marginalized people. the DSA is 85% white and we should start accurately calling it a white-centric party instead of pretending there’s anything progressive about it
i was a socialist until an overflow mob of bernie bros screamed “C*NT!!!” at me at my 2016 seattle caucus. my politics never changed; my willingness to align with a violent mob stopped the second i had to assess what would happen if their verbal violence became physical
I would be thrilled if Israel and Lebanon could normalize relations and dismantle Hezbollah. It would make so many lives better.
So, Israel and Lebanon are continuing talks to hopefully normalize relations and find a way to defeat Hezbollah. Guess who’s against those talks? Hezbollah of course.
Your candidate won. So why are you all so mad? Some of you really still need to deconstruct that weird evangelical/MAGA home training. Good luck in November.
Yeah. No. “Bend the knee” was a real thing that leftists said to us about Bernie and “she didn’t earn my vote” was DEFINITELY a thing they said to us about Harris. So they are going to have to deal with what they sowed.
How many times have we heard from progressives “She didn’t earn my vote”? Why do progressives feel entitled to demand a candidate earn their vote, but get huffy when Black voters, for one example, demand the same from a self-described progressive candidate?
"Vote Blue No Matter Who" ended in 2024 and it's never coming back. That is the political environment you are facing going forward.
Policy differences aren't what's tearing the party to shreds. The tactics, posture, and rigidity are toxic. The gaslighting on blatant racism and anti-semitism is fatal. We we were all hobbling along, despite our differences, but are now at an impasse.
Your oversimplification isn't helpful. The enemies of my values are my enemy. I can stomach policy differences and co-habitate in the tent. What I'm not going to do is pretend that's the divide. I understand you want to unify and be the voice of reason. Not mad at that. That requires clarity.
I have a problem with people flat out saying they hate Dems and intend to infiltrate the party from within. Tell THEM who the enemy is, because they think it’s us! They only go after safe blue seats & work to displace Black & Jewish political influence. They are parasites! bsky.app/profile/icoo...
It scares me how much the Democratic Party voters are divided. If you have more moderate views than the progressives are the root of all evil, if you have more progressive views than the moderate are the root of all evil. I thought the root of all evil was Republicans
I think you're missing some context and some cause-and-effect here. Moderates and Liberals think The Left is fucking evil, because they actively are, because they actively and constantly attack Democrats and Liberals and Moderates, and their refusal to vote helped give us Trump. THEY are the prob.
When their starting position is that Jews are the root of all evil in the modern world, and Blacks are morons, they're no different than the right. And that's what leftists are at this moment. Their brains have been cooked, and they see people like me as the enemy. I'm giving it back.
I don't like misogyny, racism, and antisemitism. I guess these days that makes me "moderate". And if that means I'm a divider, too fucking bad. I don't cozy up to bigots.
Mitten Man, YOU have NEVER been a Democrat. Never. This isn't your party. It's just the one you keep crashing and cashing in from. SANDERS: Well, that's not much of a choice. If Mr. Carville doesn't want to be in my party, the party that I belong to, that Piker, that El-Sayed belongs to...
“If Mr. Carville doesn't want to be in my party….” It should be bigger news when an elderly Senator forgets he’s not a member of any party. Or that time he actually started his own party and it failed miserably.
"Seismic" means the white media's preferred candidate won.
Just saw someone describe el Sayed's primary win as "seismic." Can someone explain to me how winning with a margin of less than a point is "seismic?" Does the meaning of words matter anymore? (Pic of Secretariat in the 1973 Belmont Stakes to illustrate what a seismic victory really looks like.)
I’ve always been a fighter. Fighting to make sure every American had access to a vaccine during COVID. Fighting for reproductive rights. And now I’m fighting to lead the greatest state in the nation as your Governor. Let’s finish this fight, California.
White Dictionary Word Of The Day: Establishment: The coalition of black voters that is unimpressed with mediocre white candidates in politics. This leads to these mediocre candidates becoming enraged that they aren’t seen as exceptional people by those they deem as less intelligent than them.🙄🙄
He was supposed to win by 13-15 points. It ended up being 1. This race was a straight up dogfight & I’m not sure why folks are pretending otherwise.
El-Sayed won and to win in November will have to move to the center.. Here’s why
Same way Black church’s aren’t just pews for indoctrination like the MAJORITY of white Christian church’s are (yes including their small town church they swear is one of the good ones)
They do this with Jews too. They view everything through a white Christian lens. You can be Jewish without practicing but so many don’t seem to get it cause anyone who calls themselves Christian automatically is they go oh well I was born Christian it’s the same thing like no it’s very much not.
The Black church was powerful because Sundays were the only time when large groups of enslaved African Americans were allowed to gather in numbers. There were laws about that. They were able to code resistance strategies into Sunday sermons because white Christians left them alone for a few hours
Cannot tell you how many times I've been told Black people are not worthy because they are ignorant and religious. Ignoring the power of the Black Church in fighting for justice, they court them as painful necessities not as powerful institutions. They won't listen. Think they know best always.
