The two progressive lawmakers have addressed massive crowds in solidly red states including Idaho and Utah in recent days, as party of the national Fighting Oligarchy Tour.
A survey taken by Harvard’s Center for American Political Studies and Harris between April 9-10 found that 72% of Democratic voters supported politicians like Sanders (I-Vt.) and Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), “who are calling on Democrats to adopt a more aggressive stance towards Trump and his administration and ‘fight harder’,” rather than leaders who are willing to “compromise” with President Donald Trump.
We’ve gone so far right centrism means putting immigrants in US labor camps instead of foreign ones.
They are too lazy to create more cake
Eat the rich.
laborcampsDeath camps if those satellite pictures are anything to go off of.
if the death camp allegations are true, Democrats will ratchet to the right and demand labor camps instead of death camps
If only we had leaders in the democratic party who could stand up and demand such a watered down milquetoast outcome, but I doubt they can even do that.
The centrists will come out strongly against progressives demanding the camps all be closed.
Oof… Yes. This is actually the case. Biden straight up refused to stop the genocide in Palestine.
Yes, but democrats don’t care what their voters think.
Just create the Labour Party already!
Nah, fam. The Labour Party has also become a neoliberal turncoat.
I mean they can call it whatever they want, they just need to create their own thing because the dems don’t want them there and they don’t agree with the dem guiding line. It’s not a good situation for anyone
Call it the Conservative Party and make the rank and file Communists and Anarchists.
See, shit like this is why people hate kenders.
Good idea, though.
We rarely use this blatant of manipulation tactics. Normally we prefer to just taunt our enemies into a blind rage.
They won’t. Democrats have always said one thing, but not followed through; because real change would lose them money and status, and free Healthcare. Any change that would effect the lobby bottom line, effects their bottom line. We need to Abandon the Democratic Party (the organization part)
No, we need the Democratic party… Or their corpse at least
We don’t have time to build the infrastructure and entrench a third party. That shit is extremely complicated and takes a lot of time and money.
There’s a perfectly good one already, with name recognition and the right branding. It’s just dickless and full of shit
So let’s tea party it and take it over for the left. We just need a large enough progressive faction to force them to cooperate and actually do what the people have been screaming for
Hang up a big “under new management” sign and actually do things, and there you go… We get a party on the left again. It can be done next election
Part of the success of the tea party was the DNC constantly pushing the party to the right. And as they pushed rightward the RNC kept going further to the right. No one that’s a potential threat to the party or party leadership are ever given any positions of power to threaten their existence until they fall in line.
“Guillotine party” was snappy sounding but I think you’re onto something ,maybe we should be the “Weekend at Bernies party” instead, where the corpse is the old Dem party.
Giving everyone free healthcare would not take away their free healthcare. That logic does not follow. The rest is accurate.
