    From my googling, a very small number of socialist democrats were elected. Less than a dozen from my searching. So why not trust democracy and go with the majority.

    Centrist democrats can gargle my sweaty unwashed balls, then they can go sit in the corner and let the grown ups do what needs to be done.

    Conservative Democrats are a menace. A snake in the grass looking to poison our nation and our democracy.

    I get annoyed, but not surprised when I see this shit now. Nothing has changed about these politicians. They still take corporate and PAC money to run their campaigns, so they are still beholden to those same interests. They never seem to learn because they can’t. Nothing will change that as long as their seat in office is contingent on keeping capitalists happy.

    I really hope we get to the point where there are promising primary challengers to these pieces of shit.

    Yeah, play right into MAGA’s hands, that’ll show the public what happens when they demand change.

    Wait, wait, so…they warned not to talk about ending US support for Israel, abolishing ICE or impeaching Trump…but instead to focus on improving affordability for average households, which they can’t actually do since the crisis is mostly caused by Trump’s foreign policy?

    America is screwed…

      A significant part of the higher cost of living is due to fuel prices, which were caused by a war that Israel and the Gulfies aggressively lobbied Trump into starting.

      Never, never trust centrists. Push them aside.

        A huge amount of it is due to price gouging. Including a significant amount of the fuel prices.

        Go after the fucking gougers, among other things

        Conservatives. Don’t call them centrists. That’s what they want you to believe.

      I mean Trump can veto anything they pass, so it’s not like your first few points matter either. If they pass a bunch of bills that would help the economy and Trump vetos them, that makes the GOP look even worse than they already do. I’d rather they do that than impeach him at this point. We all know he’s a corrupt piece of shit but we also know impeachment is a waste of time because the cult will keep backing him.

    “Lazy and corrupt politicians warn that if we do any work now then the poors and plebs will expect more work from us later. And why work when we can do virtually fuck all and get paid shit loads of cash for it?”

    Worth noting how enthusiastic Democratic voters are when there’s no female presidential candidate on the ballot. I hope the DNC doesn’t take this Democratic response to the economy and war by going back to focus on tired feminist and transgender issues.
