Welcome to Progressive Politics! A place for news updates and political discussion from a left perspective. Conservatives and centrists are welcome just try and keep it civil :)
(Sidebar still a work in progress post recommendations if you have them such as reading lists)
Can you guys stop complaining on Lemmy and get together a labor party. Any day now would be great.
Neoliberalism is dead. We are at a fork in the road. One way leads to neo-feudal fascism, the other towards socialism.
The reactionaries want to return the status quo they enjoyed. They will not accept that there is no going back. Dem leadership playing soft with Trump is a signal of which side they are choosing.
They’re paid a lot of not to fight
Their donors paid a lot for them to not fight
Biden was elected on the Basis of opposing Trump. Instead of holding him and his crownies accountable, he chose to go for "healing" and "moving on". Just that he moved on with many Trump policies and added his own genocide support on top.
It was pretty obvious that proud Zionist Biden, VP of O'bomb ya (with a drone), who voted for the Iraq war & then lied about it, wasn't going to be a Bernie Sanders.
It's hilarious that they still consider "bipartisan progress" a useful frame. The only direction trump and co are progressing is towards solidifying fascism. Compromising with that is just helping them.
They need to help Trump make things worse so next election they can push an even more establishment candidate that won't have to run on anything other than anti-MAGA, but that will end up keeping many of the Elon Trump changes.
That approach won't win them an election, because it will inspire no one to actually get out to vote. If they do that they will never be elected again.
The second amendment is the people’s check on tyranny. Us not fighting back is just as bad as the democrats putting their tails between their legs. I’m not saying shoot anyone what I’m saying is organize and fight back!
Shoot their wives with your seed & make Dem babies
The Democrat party claims they want to be a big tent party, but they're doing a piss poor job of getting a majority of voters to come into their tent.
Big tent with a paid VIP section in the back.
The adjective form of 'Democrat' is 'Democratic', not the stupid and grammatically incorrect form Republicans decided to push in the late 2000s.
Playing possum doesn't work.
Late to the party again Democrats. I swear, it's only when the jackboots are on their necks do they even get out of bed.
