USA AOC, Bernie Sanders and Zohran Mamdani. The need for strong progressive voices in US politics.

they are there, it's just the dems have their heads so buried up their arses they can't/don't want to change.

Mehdi Hasan (@mehdirhasan.bsky.social)

The right have launched an all-out attack on liberals and the left, in the wake of the Kirk killing, pushing narratives about left-wing violence and the need to investigate liberal nonprofits and Schumer and Jeffries are totally AWOL. The Dems are leaderless. Shocking.

well. i think the maniac will have pissed off so many of the populace with his draconian measures, combined with the immensity of the adverse effect the economic ones will have on the hip pocket, there will be sufficient unrest to facilitate payback. there are signs already.

I understand the people have the will but does Congress and the Senate?

it's called leadership.

 

[Not Important]

the one thing the fascism wrought by the maniac might do is force this weak outfit to move to a stronger more progressive leadership.

"As for Democratic leadership, I was absolutely not surprised to note they voted with Republicans in yet another example of capitulation at a time when nothing but strength of purpose is demanded. They vote to support the legacy of Charlie Kirk while finding themselves unable to endorse their own selected candidate for New York Mayor. The leadership of the party is simply failing to lead. They remain paralysed with fear at not appearing right-wing enough, and it drives me insane. They voted in support of a Stochastic terrorist. Just for clarification, let me give you the definition:"

A person who engages in the] repeated use of hostile, dehumanizing, or vilifying language by an influential figure or public figure against a person or group, which statistically increases the likelihood of unpredictable acts of violence by followers, though no explicit instruction to commit a violent act is given"

Free speech isn’t just about speaking. It is also about listening.

In a moment of moral clarity, Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, spoke these words before he saw a sign from the Gods of profit and bent the knee to a homophobic convicted felon and adjudicated rapist

the very reason the dems need progressive leadership.

"The reality is clear: Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House. They alone decide when and how the government is funded. Democrats have absolutely no control over federal spending right now. Yet instead of hammering that truth, Democratic leaders are sending letters, asking to meet with Donald Trump, and behaving as if they share the wheel."

So far today, Chuck Schumer has said his strategy for preventing Trump sending troops into blue cities is to win over Republican senators (!) while Hakeem Jeffries praised Eric Adams's courage and authenticity (!!) while refusing to endorse Mamdani. Again. These two gotta go.

The Democratic leaders in theory are Hakeem Jeffries and Schumer as House and Senate minority leaders.

But Bernie and AOC are the real leaders at the moment, saying what needs to be said. Newsom also.

I don't think the gerrymandering will get the job done, but I expect to see some pretty extreme stuff when the elections become closer. There'll be egregious ballot games like taking them out of Democratic areas and stuffing them into GOP areas. If all things were equal, the GOP would lose seats easily, but who knows how many tricks they have up their sleeve (and by tricks, I mean constitutional violations).

They can't/won't allow the Congress to be lost. It'll be people like AOC and Bernie who stop it. Not Jeffries and Schumer.

except the true left understands that inequality drives those two things and seeks change.

Robert Reich (@robertreich)

The biggest divide is not between “right” and “left." It’s between democracy and oligarchy. The billionaires who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see that they have all the wealth and power.
