GM recalling a product for fire risk isn’t news.

Centrist Dems showing their asses to the whole world over the phone, it’s so dumb.

It was flat out dumb and 100% cost votes.

At some point Dems gotta realize Republicans are going to say anything they can about them, so might as well do what they need to do and fuck them haters.

Why do people expect her to fix all of the country’s problems by herself, and take the blame for Democratic losses (although she fuckin’ won her seat again of course) at the same time?

AOC crushed her Republican opponent, and that’s after beating more centrist challengers but I guess results don’t matter.

Progressive policy issues are not widely popular within the party as a whole.

Yeah, Democrats can’t out-Republican the Republicans.  It’s a dead end.

The Squad was reelected on progressive platforms. Bernie came in second to Biden. There’s an appetite for leftism. Others can figure it out, so work together dammit.

First-past-the-post/plurality voting means we get two parties exactly, that’s just math. As you said, without instant runoff or STV or something like that we’re hosed. Although technically we have more than four parties now, the greens and the libertarians or US Taxpayers are almost exactly what you say you want, but…

My account is disabled already and I just made one under Donald Trump’s name. I told everyone I lost the election.

Imagine the GOP telling their base to be wait/ be quite while trying to court liberals.

And then wondering why not enough people show up to keep them in power.

We can’t fix this by moving right despite all of the Republicans and half the Democrats acting like we should for their own reasons.

Nothing wrong with defunding the police. You don’t like it? Suggest something else, but don't villanize those calling for it. Don’t want M4A (weird, but okay), suggest an alternative (like you did). As long as we are a party that is not the status quo against the party of regression, then we are all moving in the same…

“progressive policy issues are more popular than the Democratic party in general”

Well of course she can’t pass anything, there’s a team effort at play here. Obama showed us what happens when you come to the table with pre-compromised plans, the country marches steadily to the right while still calling you Stalin and Hitler at the same time. Someone has to remind people that there are more and…

By and large progressive policy issues are more popular than the Democratic party in general and Biden in particular. Minimum wage hikes, drug decriminalization, they won ballot initiatives, some of them in states that Trump won. Fracking bans are popular with more than half the people, so Biden refusing to say that…

The opposition is a bunch of craven, sycophantic lunatics and pathological liars. They won’t listen to the truth, because it doesn’t fit with their predefined narrative. They won’t listen to reason because they’ve already made up their minds. There is no way to combat people like that short of braining them with a…

I was really unimpressed with the “progressives/socialists almost sunk the election” narrative because this election used a strategy of running a very centrist/conservative/moderate campaign that mostly involved “Dump Trump” and partnering with neocons without serious mentions of Medicare for All, Green New Deal, or…
