This point absolutely correct and I will add that Mamdani demonstrates that an insurgency, even one with real moral clarity and anger at the status quo, can still be cheerful and inviting.

It is very hard to dismiss the fact that senate democrats caving was an intentional gift to Donald Trump. He went to the Supreme Court trying to starve 42 million Americans and we all saw it. And as people fought that, they caved. They are not merely collaborators but wolves in sheep’s clothing.
anyway if dems think I'm gonna forget this shit in 5 months, they're wrong. if they think I'm gonna forget it in 5 years, they're wrong. they have fully convinced me that purging the party of these inept losers in the senate is more important than retaking the senate in the next election cycle

the way prominent American Leftists talk about Israel drives me crazy. They genuinely think the US is under the control of Israel and not that the US controls Israel. They spoke about Biden like his hands were tied, and speak about Trump like he's being forced

It's hard to escape the conclusion that "moderate" Democratic Senators view their job as creating talking points for ads rather than accomplishing anything
Steve Inskeep: You think the Republicans voting with you here will not only agree to these measures, but actually try to do something if the administration ignores them?
Sen Cortez Masto: If they go back on their word, then the American public will know where the Republicans stand.

I just want California to stop imposing itself on the rest of humanity.
I’m not sure what makes Californians believe they deserve to run planet earth, but I have to assume it has something to do with being the descendants of the white folks who thought “sign me up for manifest destiny!”

I have to point out that this isn’t necessarily true.
Both Canadians and British citizens have to fight our governments who have been slowly defunding and privatizing our healthcare systems for years. Capitalists never stop trying to dismantle public healthcare, they’re a danger to society.

they are able to peel back the ACA because its a shitty half measure but if we had gotten real universal healthcare instead no one would dare touch it because literally everybody on all sides would flip out. one more reason why Democratic incrementalism and "pragmatism" is fucking stupid !!!!!

Trump: "I want the money to go into an account for people where they buy their own health insurance. It's so good. The insurance will be better. It'll cost less. Everybody is gonna be happy. They're gonna feel like entrepreneurs. They're actually able to go out & negotiate their own insurance"

My position is Democrats don't make their own politicians fear for their lives as a consequence of betraying them and that's why there's no accountability.
Also just so everyone is crystal clear the democrats knew that they were going to fold the entire time and only waited until the won the elections to bury their bad acts.
