    If the Dems don’t hold MAGA responsible for their many CRIMES, it’s YOUR fault.

    Mamdani recently said:

    “For far too long our party has seen its job as managing decline instead of delivering material change for working people. It has seen its job as explaining why we cannot instead of showing how we can.”

    YOU are part of “managing decline,” either out of cowardice, or by design.

    Politicians are generally lazy and greedy, and if you tell them that you expect nothing from them, give them permission to do nothing, and tell them that we’ll do nothing about it, and that’s exactly what they’ll do - Northing - and they’ll go right back to their favorite pastime, Insider Trading.

    Last night, 29 year old Democratic Socialist Melat Kiros won her primary over a 15 term incumbent, and said:

    "For decades Democrats have failed to meaningfully deliver for working families,” Kiros told POLITICO’s William Steakin late last night following her stunning victory in Colorado’s 1st Congressional District. “We have to root out the corruption and get money out of our politics … It’s about political will — and that means we have to vote out any of the incumbents that are standing in our way by taking that kind of corporate PAC money.”

    You are talking about the OLD Democratic Party, the lazy, corrupt losers that helped MAGA gain power, and let them into the White House, TWICE. The MAGA Comedy act of Schmuck & Jeffries are as responsible for that as MAGA itself, and the NEW Democrats that will take over after the Midterms will not will not accept their traditional Corporate Establishment Democratic Identities as Cowardly Weenies. They are being elected to make change, they are taking that charge seriously, and we need to support them with everything we’ve got.

    We need to send the message that we will no longer accept them doing nothing. We already elected them once to do something about MAGA, and they fucked us over, and let MAGA back in. If we take it back again, we expect them to deal with MAGA decisively, crush it, and purge it from our government, and our society.

    But instead, your response is: “We know you won’t do anything to save us from the MAGA Parasites, but that’s okay, we never really expected your help anyway.”

    Ew, gross. Grow a spine.

        It won’t be any less true, you’re literally sitting here running interception and making the dude’s point for him.

          I’m not American. But when I was in the country I was quite politically engaged. I guess I just wonder what they, or even you, think qualifies as motivating action, because they’ve never responded in the past.

            I’m not sure how ‘motivating action’ factors in to the belief that the Democratic party can change. That the Democratic party is changing, especially when looking at the recent wins for the left.

            You’d need to help me understand what your point is. If your point is ‘Blue MAGA’ then I’d have to disagree, I have faith in men like Mamdani and young leftists to change the Democratic party.
