Democrats in safe seats capitulate and deserve all the criticism they get but not all Democrats want the stairs quo. Minnesota just passed a wealth tax that they have been using to find better public education and free school lunches. New York Mayor Mamdani has been doing amazing things and New Jersey just elected a progressive.
Positive change is possible we just need more progressives.
People like you focus on the 1-2 progressive people who get elected on suckering people like you who put them on a pedestal while you ignore the other several 100 democrats who are fine with genocide and act like this is progress.
Sorry, in a conversation about mass incineration of civilians as part of a mass genocide, you’re talking about school lunches? Could you, for one single second, just pretend you think Palestinians are human.
so why advocate voting for progressive democrats when moderate democrats will not allow any progressive members to control the democrat party?
you’re just going to end up w a bernie, aoc, omar, etc. situation where they’re not given enough control to change anything the democratic party’s priorities; but trotted out like show ponys to convince progressives to vote for the democrats anyways.
Which is why the wing of the party that capitulates to republicans keeps doing it.

Which is why I referred specifically to a wing of the democratic party and not the whole thing.
the problem is that they’re not in control of the democratic party; the capitulators are.
Agree entirely.
which means that they will not give progressives control of the party.
Also agree. If progressives are to have a party, centrists must be replaced with progressives.

Because the centrist wing has lost all credibility and we’re seeing their power to block progressives waning.
