    She’s the next Bernie. Her purpose is to sheepdog leftists back into the Democratic party, which is far from democratic. The Dems are basically queer Nazis.

      Oh Jesus. I mean, I’m with you that the Democratic Party is rotten. And I agree no politician will save us. But even a progressive dem is better than anything else we have on offer.

      I get it, voting itself is tainted, politics are completely off the rails, dems are nothing but pink republicans…but Jesus. Let us at least get someone who doesn’t have their head so far up corpo’s ass that might be able to put a dent in the way the game is played. I bet you have something to say about mamdani too?

      Jesus dude. You all are so damn negative. The jokes about the left are pretty much all dead on. The left hate each other for not being far enough left. I’m on here for progressive conversation but people like you make me not want it. Reading shit like this from other “leftists” is exhausting. You probably wouldn’t support Karl Marx if he cut his right hand off because he still had a right foot.

      Unification of the left is the only way to progress. Dividing the left is how the right consistently wins.

        Just because AOC calls herself a “democratic socialist” doesn’t mean she is. If a chicken calls itself an eagle, does that make it so?

        We need a third party. If Bernie had had the balls to run Independent, he would have kicked both Trump’s and Hillary’s asses. Most people in the U.S. are in the middle, the real middle, not the bullshit choice of Nazi versus slightly nicer Nazi.

          Lol that’s just factually not true. A third party contributes to the spoiler effect. In our current voting system, a third party kingmakes the least desirable choice. Running third party without voting system reform is political suicide.

            It’s my opinion, so it’s not “factually untrue” or empirically true. You calling it factually untrue is itself factually untrue. I’m 54, so I’ve seen a lot more of politics than you have (I’m guessing you’re 30-something). Since you’re obviously too smart to be this dumb, you’re most likely a shill, which is even worse than being a MAGA r*tard.

              So left and progressive that you think it’s okay to use an ableist slur like that as long as you put a little censor in there. Cute. I wish I were a shill. I would love to call out cunts like you on the internet and get paid for it. You make the left worse. That’s my point.

                It’s fake leftist like you who make the left worse, idiot. You think that accusing me of being an “ableist” makes you more of a leftist, that’s a huge part of the problem, moron. See, I can use other words, like idiot and moron that are not considered “ableist slurs” that were used in the same vein as said slur you may be referring to.
