It feels like a very aggressive title for this post.


Fuck rafael “cancun” Cruz! That person should be fired from a cannon into the sun. Maybe not our sun, but a far away sun.


If only there was a name for a group of employees getting together to ask management for some collective bargaining or something.


I don’t personally consider someone who is a centerist to be progressive at all. Maybe just me though. She is exactly as progressive as Biden which is why her messaging after Biden announced he was stepping down didn’t involve and real progressive moves other than some minor tax cuts and legalizing cannabis. She lost because she is just the woman version of Joe Biden. Not that she gets much say until she is elected, but she could have come out swinging a lot harder to the left instead of joining up with Liz Cheney who also isn’t known to be that progressive. She is exactly who the DNC wanted running, which is why they didn’t hold an abbreviated Democratic primary for 2024.


She was not progressive at all! I think the person was saying that she lost because she was too progressive as a misconception to why she was one of the first out in 2020.
She wasn’t too progressive for the DNC to put her second on the ticket, a heart attack from a very old man away from being president. That’s exactly why she was on the ticket. I am pretty sure she was one of the least progressive candidates, dropping out before 2020 even started.


I’m not smart enough to know what that means.


She lost the first primary bc she had progressive ideas. The DNC wouldn’t allow that.
Literally from what they said


Yet her being a progressive was not what lost her the 2020 primary, contrary to this person’s original point. You just expounded on my point, thanks. At no point did she lose something because she was too progressive.


You didn’t clarify anything, especially not the incorrect point you were trying to make. I hope you have a more enlightened day.


After you said she lost because she was progressive, and in the same comment where you say there were better progressives, implying if she had been more progressive she would have won.
If not please try explain.


She lost because she was progressive, but at the same time you’re saying she lost because she wasn’t actually progressive enough.


While Bernie certainly didn’t win the primary, I would argue he was slightly more progressive and yet got farther than Harris. Please reconsider your position on that. I don’t think the DNC did her any favors, but they certainly aren’t what kept Harris from winning.


They didn’t run Clinton after she lost to trump, why would they think this is any different? Harris was not picked twice for a reason, the first time in the 2020 democratic primary and the second time after the last election. PLEASE move on to someone who hasn’t lost yet for a real change and a real hope to win.


My m8 is somewhere in my office still. Behind my pixel 5 it has probably been my favorite Android phone.

They couldn’t get anything done with McCarthy, so what makes you think anything more will happen with Johnson?

They did that by waiting until the last fucking minute so no one could read the actual CR. they only did that because they know there is no way to take the heat off them for shutting down the country, AGAIN
Johnson will be the exact same. Absolutely no ability to get anything accomplished in the house.

He went back on the deal he made and a whole bunch of egregious shit and I would guess McCarthy also things very similarly, which is exactly why SOOO many Republicans support have even less problems with him than they did McCarthy. Why did it take 15 votes to get McCarthy the job but not this guy? You sound like a victim of domestic violence saying that if you just accept it, everything will be better for you.
The best thing for all constituents is to put this shit show on highlight reels so people stop voting for the absolute trash of the American population. It’s very obvious to me to see.


“If you don’t think that moving from Kevin McCarthy to MAGA Mike Johnson shows the ascendance of this movement and where the power in the Republican Party truly lies, then you’re not paying attention,” said Rep. Matt Gaetz (F-FL).
It really doesn’t seem like the Republicans are paying attention to the threat coming from inside their own house.
