The moderates got Joe Biden as president and Eric Adams as mayor and somehow their story is that they need to take back power from the left

We've had four years of Mayor Cop! It's total madness that anyone believes New York City defunded the police.

And they wonder why we consider them to be a fash adjacent.

But when you run around making fascists "THE ALL POWERFUL FAR LEFT BETRAYED US but they are also weak and powerless" arguments.... I am gonna connect some dots!

In an election decided by such small margins, who can really say what matters? I can’t imagine months of cursing the name of the Dem candidate helped.

Not everything in the world is about the last election

I thought that’s what you were referring to. If not, ignore my comment.

That's because the left is their sworn enemy, mostly because the left routinely calls out their moral cowardice.

Our mayor is no true democrat or leader. He is a corrupt criminal like trump.

I got news for you about the rest of the Democrats.

Hmmm and who do the moderate democrates collaborating with fascists want in power in NY again?

“The moderates” 😂

maxamas.bsky.social•6 days ago

The scary thing to consider is maybe the “moderates” consider Adams and Biden to actually be left (or left compromise candidates). What they WANT is someone juuuust to the right of Romney.

The big truth at the heart of the issue: people will point the finger at everyone else in the room before they ever consider that they are in fact the bad guy and part of the problem.

And this is at the heart of why the party is so fucked up right now. Lots of blame, few solutions. And way too many old people

Adams was gonna be president by now.

They wake up in a sweat worried their preferred 2028 candidate will have to defend a statement like 'trans people are not the worst.'

absolutereality.blog•6 days ago

'the left are too powerful' no you just don't know how to spin a message to normies properly. you are just bad at your job and you're blaming it on surveys.

True centrism has never been tried

You don’t understand! They’ve got to get rid of all those scary leftists living in their heads.

jspell-art.bsky.social•6 days ago

They're the loyal opposition to fascists, which makes them also fascist.

This is like how people argue capitalism is better than socialism in theory when it's not in practice or theory.

scohoe.bsky.social•6 days ago

MAGA literally believes defund the police happened because trump lost in 2020 and that's all they know.

Remember, Eric Adams declared himself the true progressive during the campaign so it must be true

They won’t be happy until the Dems follow Sorkin’s advice and nominate Romney.

dochaus.bsky.social•6 days ago

It's not enough that they got what they wanted, they need to constantly get pats on the head and told "good [boy/girl]" for doing so, even as the world continues to descend into flames.

bookhouse.bsky.social•6 days ago

Okay but they didn't get a flash primary last year so they're trying to reassert themselves
