1. Most of America is not MAGA. Most of America is not the Bernie/AOC left.
2. MAGA is a real threat to decency, democracy & the rule of law. Bernie & AOC are too far left on too many issues.
3. Most of America is center-left/center-right. Most of America is in the big middle.

AOC/Bernie allow privileged white ppl to see themselves as victims of oligarchs & ignore the real Dem Party base of POC. And AOC/Bernie keep getting richer.
- Do you support healthcare for all as a basic right?
- Do people who work 40 hrs or more a wk deserve a living wage?
- Should those making $1 mil/yr or more pay same taxes as you?
Majority of the policies they advocate for are things that all other westernized countries have for their citizens.
Just stop.
I think the average American is tired of getting screwed for the past 45 years under Republican leadership that only takes.

Most Americans don't know what an actual communist looks like because we called anything we didn't like "communist" as an attack during the cold war.
What a tired trope. And revealing.
Joe, I thought you were farther along in your deprogramming.
Neither AOC nor Bernie Sanders can "force" corporate America to provide pensions simply because they are so expensive to maintain. Most employers offer 401ks instead.
If you think that executive pay raises would offset pensions, you have ZERO understanding of pensions!
We are for social pgms, law & order, science, history, equality, civil rights, safe food, healthcare and education [FOR ALL people].. but we're "too far left"?
Which of these things is too much?
BTW these aren't "issues", they sustain our lives.
Agree that the republicans, who basically are all now extreme right, are a threat to, well, everything. No one, absolutely no one, on the left is a threat in any way like that.
Whatever Dear Leader does, they will support.
We are all not going to agree on things,but if there is a crisis we stand together to help out and part of that is a working government,not the chaos we have now.
You know what the "far left" has never done even when they're in power? The !@#$ you're seeing now.
Congrats.
We cannot move forward without health, knowledge, and financial opportunity. Period.
It's either democracy or the fascist kleptocratic mad king gilead state.
There's no middle ground. You need all hands on deck, AOC & Bernie very much included.
Tell us one thing that is actually left wing about AOC? Green new deal? - which is off the cards - is not LW - GW is a fact not LW.
Do better.
What issues are you referring to?
Indifference/disillusionment has contributed to the furtherance of this regime.
The MODERATE thing to do in an authoritarian attempted coup is to PROTEST, not sit at home complaining moderately.
Show up to a 50501 protest. Call your senators. DO SOMETHING!
We desperately need them to keep up their messaging - discounting them only aides what is currently being accepted.
You can poll Americans about what they want, and neither party is meeting their demands.
Private election financing is killing us.
there, someone who dots all those eyes should be president.
The same could be said about Mitt Romney or Nikki Haley by liberals.
If Bernie, for example, were suddenly leader of Canada, France, or others, he’d find that much of his platform is already implemented.
Painting AOC and Bernie as extreme does an extreme disservice to working class Americans.
If a politician advocates a policy that 57% agree with, I wouldn’t call that extreme. Pretty mainstream, if you ask me.

They are collectively drawing hundreds of thousands at their rallies for a reason.
Perhaps you need to actually listen.
But.
One is NOT like the other.
At least the left believes in something similar to a democratic republic for the people..

It cannot exist without opposed ideas to boundary it. And it is entirely beholden to movements made - in either direction - by either side.
The ‘center’ where you gather if you have no principles.
Most of us, when pressed, would have no trouble identifying policies we agree with or disagree with.
Feet to the fire, we’ll find a side.
Maybe it's time to listen to the Bernies and AOCs of the world.
I say this as a former TEA Party independent.
I have had some disagreements with Bernie (not so much AOC anymore) but they are not far left.
You are doing a disservice by trying to paint them, subtly, as problems or extremes. They are extremes for the US, but globally they are barely past a centrist.
But that doesn't mean we should be subtly painting AOC and Bernie as too extreme.
Taking care of the poor of this country improves the lives of everyone.
Don't be frightened, Joe. You're nearly there. Come into the light.
how would an extremist like yourself know what the shit most of america believes?
Also you've been saying forever that the left has no bite, well those are two of the only ones who do.
As this guy showed with his article about Answers in Genesis' Ken Ham. See how Ham showed Harris.
This is how you have ended up with Fascism.
She reminds me so much of Obama 2006-2008! She has the same grassroots energy behind her too! That’s always the way Democrats win big: big youthful patriotic grassroots movements!
It’s either right or wrong.
Good or bad.
Moral or immoral.
MAGA is wrong, bad, and immoral.
There's nothing inherently left wing about access to basic health care.
Nothing whatsoever.
🤷♂️
I'd much rather have people make a good faith effort to fix our immigration, health care system etc. and get some things wrong than this blatantly illegal Maga nonsense.
It's not a "both sides" thing.
Shows how easy it is to deny the evidence presented by history and current reality.
You are who you elect. Trump was elected in 2016 and again in 2024, the latter with assists from a stacked SCOTUS, a mentally unbalanced billionaire, and who knows who/what else.
MAGA has been gaslighting people for decades, and now that Trump has shown what he is, maybe people will realize that.
