Last night was one big FU to Trump and MAGA, and it was spectacular. In my county (Bucks County, PA), we sent the sheriff who cozied up to ICE packing. Bye, Fred👋🏻 We also cleared the school boards of the red hat menace. This is HUGE, since my county has the largest leadership team of Moms for...

I don't recall Trumpers losing their minds when Kash Patel, who also has Indian parents, was named Director of the FBI. If you can survive that, you'll survive Zohran being mayor of New York City. Your selective racism is bullshit, MAGA. Cry harder, ****wits.

Sanders: That is a totally meaningless gesture. You can get 100 votes here and it won't mean anything because the House is not going to take it up.

Pay attention to what Democratic candidates are saying right now. Find and support the fighters. Having a spine must be a litmus test issue in 2026 and beyond.

the likes of bernie, aoc, mandani, wu and some others are the hope. a shift back from the corporate dems to the working class dems is so needed.

Neville Chamberlain would be so proud of the Democrats today. But I am being unfair to Neville, he foolishly believed he had solved the problem, and had not taken massive bribes to back down. Not a single Democrat believes the issue is solved, but at least profits over Christmas are protected and billionaires private planes will not be grounded.

succinct and a case for a more progressive dems.

Authoritarianism can only succeed when democracy fails to deliver for working people. Authoritarian parties can only succeed when the pro-democracy parties fail to fight for working people. We need a new democracy and a new party system which can represent working people.

and this. if they stray from the party line, disendorse them.

"While several House Democrats have called on Schumer to step aside, Senate Democrats have said little on the subject so far. Zeteo reached out to dozens of Democratic offices on Monday to gauge whether Democratic senators have confidence that Schumer is the right person to lead their caucus. None had anything to say."

Furious Liberals Call for Schumer to Step Aside, Senate Dems Mostly Quiet

After their shutdown surrender, liberal lawmakers are begging their base to unite behind them anyway – as Trumpland celebrates that their opposition is a bunch of 'p*ssies.'

It is of international significance that Mamdani has won the vote and become the mayor of NY. He won the election on the basis of opposing genocide in Gaza and demanding limited reforms to mitigate the massive social inequality in NY, and throughout the US.

It shows that the next generation is seeking out an alternative, and that they are not fazed by the word "socialism". In fact, they see it as preferable to capitalism.

However, as will soon become clear, Mamdani has no other role but to trap the desire for social equality and opposition to genocide and barbarism within the futile framework of parliamentary politics.

He will limit his actions to appeals to the very Democrat establishment that supports and enables the genocide in Gaza.

He has already lurched to the right after his election victory, making public statements in which he promises that he will not infringe upon the extreme wealth of the Wall St executives.

We are about to witness an extreme playing out of political reality, in which millions will be enlightened about the fakery of the DSA, and the impossiblity of solving any of the fundamental social issues by supporting them.

Wait and see.
