I love that even two leftists together can't come up with the idea of fixing the car themselves. Maybe bc on a subconscious level they know they're not capable 😂

Apparently it's against the rules 😮

I wonder if mods see the irony of their other rule against any type of prejudice.

Biden-era Democrats: passing child cash payments, drug-price negotiation, insulin caps, the biggest climate bill in US history, and the biggest federal gun-safety law in decades. With a 50-50 Senate and an obstructionist opposition.

Obama-era Democrats: passing ACA, Fair Sentencing Act, Dodd Frank, creating CFPB, etc. With only like 70 days of having 60 votes in the senate.

Leftists: dems pass nothing.

Question for you: do you think Palestinians should thank you for rejecting imperfect Democrats and helping to hand the presidency, house and senate to the party whose members openly support fewer restrictions on Israel?

But keep rejecting them to preserve your sense of superiority, I'm SURE that'll help the most vulnerable more than keeping Republicans out of power.

Let's have a moment of silent gratitude for all those US leftists who preserved their personal sense of moral superiority by not voting or voting third party in the 2024 election. Where would we be without them?

spoiled rich crooked babies who refuse to do the hard work of leading… and then they repeatedly lose and try to blame everyone else

That line fits Hasan pretty well, actually.

His whole model is to deride institutions while depending on other people to do the institutional work he looks down on. He can bless the handful of candidates who pass his purity test, but that is not the same thing as building power. In U.S. politics, elected officials need a broad coalition around them, and the way Hasan operates his platform subverts that.

So even when his preferred progressives win, what then? If there are fewer Democrats overall (because people like Hasan don't discourage voting third-party or abstaining from voting in general), then progressives have fewer coalition partners, and smaller voting blocs to work with, so those wins come with less leverage, not more, and the country slides farther to the right.

Bernie Sanders understands this, which is why when Hasan tried to draw Sanders into criticizing Newsom, Sanders did not indulge it. Same reason Sanders was so friendly with Manchin: he knows what compromises need to be made to maximize chances of enacting progressive policy.
