Bernie and AOC seem to be hoovering up the MSNBC liberal boomer demographic at this point because that demo has finally snapped and the dems leadership is completely absent.

That, however, probably won't translate into a progressive/socialist candidate winning the next presidential primary. They might have a stronger showing but dem leadership will move to protect their donors and stifle that candidate.

Jeez, I compliment your improvement and you're still tripping. I get that your ruling is arbitrary. Substack, blog. Wordpress.com, not blog. You're the boss.

Jihad just means struggle. Jihad on my dirty dishes, jihad against zionists, jihad against drugs etc. They aren't calling for a new caliphate. Stop with the white genocide fear mongering. You sound like a Rhodesian.

The take I’ve been seeing more lately is that many on the left don’t internally support genocide, they’re just afraid of AIPAC money taking away their ability to do any good.

This is true but I don't know how much. There's some democrats explicitly and correctly calling out AIPAC as being an a far right PAC. Taking money from AIPAC needs to be seen as treacherous as taking money from NRA or the Heritage foundation.

But at the ballot box come election day, I don’t care if the dem wants to sacrifice puppies on weekends

Every time a democrat talks like this they lose votes. "Yeah my candidate supports genocide, but-" stop you've just smeared your own candidate. If you don't have anything nice about your candidate then keep your mouth shut.

Any normal american will see the rest of your comment and think they're better off investing in bullets and silver than worrying about the election. You're basically doing voter surppression.

Don’t like that rule? Tough titty said the kitty when the milk ran dry. Go make your own community and enjoy the flood of blogspam.

Lol classico power tripping.

Do legitimate news sources have accounts there? Absolutely. We don’t allow them either.

Glad you at least acknowledge that now.

The problem is that there are plenty of voters who hate the pony!

Yeah those are the centrist republicans who voted Trump anyways. Again, empirically proven failure.

When the Dems put Harris in, it was a concession to the progressives. They got a Black woman from a state with a long Left tradition.

Honestly wtf are you thinking here? She wasn't left wing at all and being black or californian doesn't magically make her progressive. You're literally citing a fake sterotype as a subsititue for real policy.

Obama had a super majority in both Houses and the ACA barely squeaked through.

HE GOT THAT SUPERMAJORITY BY RUNNING ON HEALTH CARE REFORM!

We got a supermajority by promising the pony! "Hope and Change". Sell the fucking pony again. Promise a different pony when you fail to deliver! Jesus Christ you just insist on keeping your head in the sand. You're just insistent on laying down and dying.

Sounds like a good opportunity to draw some square kufic.

You're talking about politicians, they're talking about voter opinion. Why would you think those numbers would be correlated?

Electoral reform isn't something to base your campaign on but it is something that every upstart campaign will strategically want to do.

It has to do with how political parties in the US are regulated through the election commissions. Voters register with political parties through the commission not the party itself. The commission is bipartisan to prevent a party from cheating its own voters. For example, the democratic party couldn't just kick Bernie off the primary ballot despite him being independent his whole life.

At the same time this bipartisan election commission determines what other parties are allowed to have ballot line access and have little interest in breaking the doupoly.

The flip side to this is any Leninist pushing for a workers party has to come to terms with the fact that their workers party legally can't practice Democratic Centralism if they want to have a ballot line party.
