This lady's podcast is great, because they're still relatively unknown enough that people don't realize that they're badass progressives that will hold your feet to the fire.

So they get guests like Cory Booker on, and then refuse to let him weasel out of refusing to call Gaza a genocide.

Probably only a matter of time before people catch on and they stop going on the show I guess.

I love their podcast. They talk so much shit to the powers that be.

Dems need to dump those two if they want to improve their odds, replace them with actual leaders if they want to do better, or run someone with real progressive values if they'd like to try their hand at governance again.

The Democratic Party leadership doesn’t want to “improve their odds”, or “do better”, they want to maintain their proximity to wealth and power, and to get rich off of insider trading. They are not your friends, and they are not your representatives. They do not want to help you.

Those two are a shining example of how the Democratic party has enabled the growth of facism in this country. If you stand for nothing but party donors then you become complicit in whatever results from your inaction.

The money that finances them does not want them to help most people.

More people should listen to her.

Time to give these sell outs the fucking boot

Not riding his "wave"?

I can think of a better word there that still works.

[-] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 week ago

Congratulations for knowing words!

I guess humor is hard to convey online sometimes.

Fyi. I like mamdani. Maybe I was thinking about.... Well. That wave.

Not a bad wave to ride. ☺️

If people aren't getting the joke, you should put that on yourself, not others. Knowing your audience and writing for them is part of a good joke. Or any other writing, really.

[-] daannii@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

People make sexist jokes towards women all the time.

We can make them about men some times too.

[-] daannii@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Dude. I'm a liberal.
It's a joke. I like mamdani

[-] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

What was the joke part? Looks like no one else got it either.

And are you liberal or lefty? Those are different.

[-] daannii@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

You are confusing libertarian and neo liberal with liberal.

Liberals are progressive.

Lefty is progressive.

They both are progressive tho deal with vague, some times over lapping, stances.

But yes technically they refer to two things. I can also be both.

I’d wait to see what he does in power before I ride that wave personally.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
