it seems "democratic socialists" are inevitable to become appeasers to corporate dems/redwashed fascists. f "democratic socialism", it's just aesthetics.

I think Sanders/AOC type politics is neither a moral model nor a viable alternative.

(yeah corporate dem, tankies, gopnazis, etc, etc, I know they're bad)

I think billionaires don't really enjoy the wealth size, they enjoy the inequality, the status, the ownership of the most, the power, the control...

so they will be okay with to kill everyone else and run their world with robots

Does anyone else remember how she tried to expel him as Speaker of the House and the DEMOCRATS provided the votes to save him unconditionally?

Mike Johnson responds to Marjorie Taylor Greene admitting Republicans are hurting people with their healthcare policies (or lack thereof): "Bless her heart. That's an absurd statement."

Sources tell me Zohran is confident that Tisch's leadership of the NYPD so far is a reflection of the fact that she works for Mayor Eric Adams, and she will change her approach to align with Zohran's vision of public safety once he's mayor.

We'll have to see whether he's right.

I don't know if the pro-Israel billionaire heir who is a "your highness" for NYTimes really wants to work "for" or even "with" him.

I'm not even sure it's she working for Eric Adams or the opposite.

The media is trying to get me outraged about the East Wing getting demolished and not people getting kidnapped off the street and thrown into concentration camps.

To say nothing about the small cabal of child rapists from both parties that are controlling our government.

many Dems in Congress want to die on their position

Lip @lipatp.bsky.social · 10h

but that would remove Schumer straightforward, and has he openly criticized schumer for supporting Mills? or openly support Platner's criticism on Schumer?

but i find he's never openly criticized schumer for not endorsing zohran.

he avoids calling Schumer out with clear indications.

At the very least I know mr. union treats his staff terribly and he did nothing while the entire Trump cabinet was confirmed in record time earlier this year. All this while going on TV claiming there was nothing the Congress could do but people needed to take up arms to fight oligarchy or whatever.

I heard the rumors about Sanders being sexist but nothing concrete.

I will say though when I tried to push his office on accepting unionizing staff, he was NOT in support of it and in fact told a reporter in the hallway as much.

His CD slid into my mentions to confirm his support after outcry.

Folks on here know I am not exactly a huge @aoc.bsky.social stan. But she's obviously far more qualified and capable to be in the United States Senate than Platner is.

Yet Sanders gets mad when people suggest he back her senate run.

Here is him doing that.

What exactly does he have against AOC so much that he is not willing to throw any support behind her for higher office, despite her being far more experienced and qualified than Platner and a far more direct challenge to Schumer than this Maine race?

Angry Bernie Sanders nearly storms off ABC News set when asked if he’d like to see AOC join Senate
