You know what stories I would like to read and hear about?
People who have been pushed even more to the left/progressive/ Dem socialist side after the last several years-- and after everything happening with the Dem establishment now.

All that the left is now are republican enablers.
Cause they are DEEP in their feelings in my mentions. 🤣🤣
Tyranny, authoritarianism, fascism or however it’s described is rising here. If that serves as a call to action for some, but doesn’t solve deeper issues, both can be true.
The ills of oppression won’t be solved today, or tomorrow if tyranny comes
LOL......the ignore it and hope it goes away train is never late.
At this juncture in our political history we are now an authoritarian state.
Calling people out on long standing failure does zero to address systemic racism, or tyranny, but does divide people.
Yall are a joke
They sounds like a nativist Trump supporter. Willing to throw everybody else under (especially foreigners) the bus out of concern for their own community.
The democrats have since 08
My father fought francos
It's obvious
“Who cares about people 1/2 a world away” is leaving out …”who our government partnered in mass slaughtering”
But none posted about helping Black ppl.
Do you not understand that it is the same fight against the same people? And THAT'S where the MOST suffering is happening RN?
Just seems odd to rationalize ‘fuck Palestinians getting slaughtered’, not people who had actual power
Yeah, imagine saying something inflammatory and accusatory, then getting negative feedback.
Good grief
My beliefs are still the same, but my beliefs in the system are not.
A Dem pres, a Dem gov, a Dem senator, even a Dem prosecutor. Crickets.
The whole damn system…
I’ve been small-c conservative in my approach: use test projects, iterate, develop evidence and buy-in.
That approach will no longer meet our current needs. We need major overhaul and fast, even if risky.
what has she done or said exactly that no one else has?
what specific solutions has she brought to the table?
The Progressive Party is looking pretty good now.
But the tea party showed how stupid they were
Then there was the misogyny in the Celebrating Conservative movement here. I had a coworker ask me to sign a petition. It was all
I couldn't be part of that kind of stupid and nasty.
I was right. It did get worse.
The Dem establishment is controlled by their wealthy donors as displayed in the cloture vote.
oh bernie renamed two post offices in 30 years and aoc wore a dress
yeah let listen to millionaire bernie who owns 3 homes
Don't get me wrong. I'm not an extremist. Capitalism with strong rules and a large welfare state worked well for me over there. Why can't we have that over here?
My 6 months paid parental leave, which I got twice.
My heavily subsidized childcare of 800 USD a month for two kids.
My paid sick leave and child sick leave.
My free healthcare. Free and fast MRI, surgery, recovery. No costs for the birth of my two kids.

Then I got to see a lot of Deregulation happen, and started to learn why people say that "Regulations are Written in Blood."
I thought Government was Bad... until I got to see what not having a functional government meant.
My comments were more about “regular” folks like (I imagine) the OP and his hometown peers.
Everyone in my houshold fits that bill.
It’s an untold story. Unfortunately they likely equal the new deplorables/transphobes/white supremacists in number
Lifelong centrist indy voter. Progressive now because of the stupidity of the D center and R cult. Ds are completely impotent without a purpose/plan/mission. that’s why they lose. Rs = fascist cult. EU success w/ programs that are more democratic socialist than our policies is appealing.
Now I'm firmly in revolution mode.
At this point I’ve been classified as an Eco-Marxist ready to burn this entire system down.
the way I talk now about the NYT/WaPo, etc. would’ve gotten me into fistfights with myself of 10 years ago
I cannot fucking believe how hard they have failed us
Since then my tolerance of the intolerant has drastically decreased, and am much more tolerant of FAFO punches to the face.
I have rarely seen an independent Independent.
The one who will always vote their (D/R) party, even when they’re unhappy with it?
The one who might sometimes vote their party if it says XYZ?
The 3rd party voter?
The never voter?
We lump ALL of these people together
So many of them didn't follow politics and lacked even a periphery view of current events.
I don't have data. But if you support 70+% of a party's platform I think independent is a stretch.
This is more social media experience than political polling, but this usage often comes off as I'm independent so better than x.
But on, like, 0 issues are they as far left as even *general* polling would say is popular support.
Pay lip service to the base before completely ignoring them and compromising further right.
I think independents are trying to make a statement (the party I vote with does not represent me) that is not being heard, because we put ALL of them in one group
In my state, the majority of registered voters (35%) are non-affiliated. The Independent are a distant 4th. It's been this way for two election cycles.
Rather than address this anomaly, the three major parties seem content to ignore it.
Do we abandon all the red states? Flee to California
I don’t know, Jason. Why do you live where you live?
Now I find myself joining DSA
You just have to think about the material conditions people were living under 20-30 years ago 40 years ago. Compared to back then, when you bought a house, I got married, had a family and the media was very limited and curated and made you that way
She voted for Bernie in the primaries, Biden in '20, and Harris in '24, with no signs of stopping.

Every presidential election year.
The big grift appears to screw things up.
we should viciously bully those people into fighting and kick them to the curb the moment they’re up for a primary. anything short is laying down & dying.
He's frustrated, outraged, and disgusted. Calls Alito and Thomas "nutso conservatives."
Our country is and always has been led by racist, misogynist and corrupt financial systems that destroy most people while a select few gain more wealth than at any point in history. It all has to go.
But.
The current times are NOT STABLE. We are being intentionally destabilized by a wildfire that was started with an arson of our constitution. Right now, moving to the middle is just walking CLOSER TO THE FIRE.
Yesterday she said that the only democrat these days she'd be willing to donate to is Sanders "because he's actually doing something."
She went to a tesla protest
- Churchill, sorta
Worked with Act Up, AIM, supported the BLM movement, and have taught the history of these movements.
I now believe that Democratic Socialism is the only way out of the mess we're in.
Billionaires should not exist.
Tax them.
2. how rich people will donate to help the poor and we dont need to ever provide a safety net

4. Being two faced liars that did NOT believe in individual sovereignty.
This last election lurched me so far left, I got my guns back.
Now I’m in favor of burning down the DNC and starting over with a bold, progressive platform.
I got my first tattoo on the basis of those beliefs. You’ll change my mind when you rip my skin off.
Watching Warren and Markey rubber stamp a genocide changed me.
Why don’t we try fully supporting middle class and working people, and go full humanist.
Support wild lefty stuff like health care, education, working wages, protecting the vulnerable
Crazy?
Had a teacher who got me to start questioning a lot of the propaganda by asking the right questions. Then exposure to a larger world in college brought me to the center.
I haven't gotten more conservative since then.
I think he thought it was derogatory.

& voted for Bernie Sanders in the '16 & '20 primary elections!
🐦🇺🇸💕
Then Oklahoma bombing happened and Limbaugh praising McVeigh snapped him out of it.
My dad has the same bio as John Rambo and doesn't give a shit what society thinks.
There is nothing like watching a man that can clearly kill you with his pinky verbally destroy a fake patriot in MAGA hat
“Any Policy That Does Not Start From a Place of True Love Can Burn in Hell”
Were you a committed Republican because of religious beliefs, social beliefs, or were you a fiscal conservative?
I won’t pretend that they have policies or principles….
The more successful I’ve become, the more I realize I need to use that to help others
Nothing has been effective at convincing me otherwise.
The most disturbing thought for me is they don't care, know it's too late, know there's no future and are acting accordingly.
I hope I'm wrong. I often am.
