Thank you for sharing your views on this. And I have a feeling that we probably have similar views. We just have different views on how to get there. Maybe not everything but if I was pushed to choose a label other than Democrat, I would probably say pragmatic progressive

I don’t normally do this, but today’s major post, which is just the intro to three wins on substack has a lot of links and I don’t think it would translate to a post here that well. So I’m going to give you the threads link and hopefully you can still read it.

The California primary isn’t till June, 2026, so why on earth is everyone acting like Katie Porter is the only candidate?

There are currently 26 people running, 12 of those are Democrats. However, all 26 will be running in the same primary, cause California uses the Jungle Primary system.

Highlight the people who are doing the right thing. Talk about the 20 Senate Democrats who did do the right thing, lift them up. But when you hold people accountable for something they didn’t do you are giving the people who did the wrong thing more power.

Stop it

26 Senate Democrats vote on something that contains an awful provision, therefore all 20,000 elected Democrats, give or take, are held responsible.

It doesn’t work with Israel and it doesn’t work here. Stop holding people accountable for something they didn’t do.

Oh, I’m still gonna regret this, but it’s true.

The way the alt left talks about the Democratic Party is the same way they talk about Israel.

The Israeli government does something evil therefore the entire country, every single person in it, is also responsible.

How do you think that wasn’t done? That was a big part of the campaign.

I don’t fully know I’ve been talking to members of the house and caucuses, and hopefully they will put out an explainer

So when a Democrat is doing something impressive right now, it’s even more impressive because they are doing it with a skeleton staff

Hey, here’s something you probably don’t know ,everything our Democrats are doing right now is without interns. Interns are considered non-essential and are let go during a shut down.

I don’t think we’re talking enough about the fact that we successfully took back the frog. Like it has been a meme for the alt right for years now, and thanks to these Portland inflatable costumes, we’re taking it back

Right, which means that it’s not Biden’s fault he did everything he could possibly do

It sounds like they’re blaming Biden until about a third of the way down

Joe Biden and Netanyahu were offered Gaza deal a year ago, says negotiator

Gershon Baskin says he got the plan on to the president’s desk but then learnt the Israelis were waiting for a change of administration in Washington

This could’ve happened over a year ago Biden did everything he could to make it happen, but it doesn’t matter because he wouldn’t offer BB what Trump was willing to because Trump doesn’t care about anyone’s life except his own

I really need people who call Biden genocide Joe to understand that the deal that Trump just made was Biden‘s deal. But Trump and BB worked together so that Bebe wouldn’t agree to it under Biden.

Hey, just an update on me, I am in a lot of pain so I probably won’t be posting my series every day for the next hopefully only a week or so, maybe in imaginary land less. But I will try to post as much as possible.
