Yes, we do, but we will not get it under current Dem leadership. If Dems hold both houses and the WH, they will simply maintain the status quo, they won't pull us back to the left. "Nothing will substantially change" is what they run on. That, and not being Republicans.
Some, but definitely not the dems that we should be supporting. And, there are a lot! Who do you support? And who would you like to see more young people emulate? I can think of a dozen, but I'd love to know which dem politicians you like!
I'm a fan of the Dems who are not taking money from AIPAC. That's it, ATM. Being bought and paid for by a genocidal regime is a red line for me.
Hard to argue that... Likud is the maga party of israel, but even worse...
I think the time might be ripe for a break-away party similar to the one Corbyn is building in Britain. But, if a party composed of progressives who won't be bought were to appear in the US, the Dems would sue to prevent them from running, because they'd win wherever they ran.
I disagree on two main points here. One, this is an "all hands on deck" situation to fight fascism, not a time to split. Second, those in charge would sue, but would cave instantaneously. And most of them would be happy to not be beholden to their funders.
Well, the Dem leadership doesn't appear interested in fighting fascism, do they? And didn't they lead the charge in suppressing free speech during the anti-genocide protests? They voted to change the definition of antisemitism. That's textbook fascism.
100% voted against the bbb. 100% is pretty clearly anti. However, you're talking about the genocide in Gaza, and you are not wrong. There are so many in this country that need to realize that Likud is the maga of Israel, and must be stopped.
Well, even the pro-facism Dems would vote against giving authoritarian power to the opposing party. Nevertheless, politicians that will support genocide abroad will tolerate a genocide at home. Their reaction to Mamdani's candidacy makes clear they'd rather have fascism than progressive policy.
