Today, they are My friends. Tomorrow, they will once more be My enemies!
Except 💖Abdul💖
The democrat party is shaken by change right now. Progressives are taking more and more space. The neoliberal scum is being challenged. Abdul is extatic. I humbly submit that your hatred is justified yet too generalized. Something exciting is going on.
If your values are so easily discarded to support evil, they’re not real. In 1 years time you’ll be back to telling people to stop talking about the bad things because the elections aren’t far off.
Mia, can you please be nice?
GUYS THE DEMS WON THE HOUSE AND THE SENATE! WE DID IT! WE WON!
Anyway, fuck the Democrats. Party of controlled opposition. Probably gonna pass more right wing laws for Trump to sign in the next few years, and they won’t even bother to put left wing laws in front of him. Assholes. We need to do a revolution ourselves, we can’t rely on these corrupt politicians to save us.
I was pleasantly surprised that Missouri voted to strike down the ban on abortion AND conversion therapy. I don’t want to chug hopium quite yet, but I do think this is somewhat different than the last “blue wave”. The question is if enough of them will be able to resist the corporate money, because the progressive sentiment IS THERE at the voter level.
The only reason they voted against harming trans people was because abortion was tied into the proposal.
They need progressive voters telling them that we expect results, we expect them to act like Mamdani. They need letters, protests, rallies, demonstrations. And we need mutual aid, we need to do things for ourselves.
Progressives ARE doing all these things, and it’s working! Look at how much money AIPAC, Musk, et al. spent on Texas, or the anti-billionaire tax laws in California, and they’re still going through. We need to STAY ON IT though.
What we need are people to stay on the Dems asses when gas prices do go down and their creature comforts come back. And honestly, we need to stay hopeful and realistic. El-Sayed even right now is talking about how staying positive in the face of all the garbage he faced got him elected in his speech, same with Zohran Mamdani when he won, and when people are saying he isn’t doing enough. Leftist politics can get really doom and gloom online, but we ARE making progress.
The other 4 anti-trans ballot measures in Arizona, Colorado, and Washington all passed though :/. The Arizona one also includes a bathroom ban for all schools including colleges and private schools. As nice as the wave of progressives and pro-trans candidates winning is nice I feel like its soured by those measures and people like turek also winning his election.
I don’t know if you’re going to have to do that much yelling. I was listening to the woman from Africa (I think Ethiopia), and she was right there with you. She made Gen Z look amazing. She’s ready and young enough to fight hard. Plus, she’s a lawyer. Basically, even though there are some light red dems that won, there were a lot of progressives as well.
What is her name?
Colorado, not sure of her name. That’s all I remember and too lazy right now.
