And billionaire Trump donor Elon Musk – who is overseeing the administration’s controversial effort to rapidly shrink the federal government – has criticized ActBlue, seeking to tie it to protests and acts of vandalism against his electric-vehicle company Tesla. He has argued, without evidence to substantiate his claims, that some prominent Democrats – including one who died in 2019 – were funding ActBlue and the protests.
“Something stinks about ActBlue,” Musk posted earlier this month on his social media platform, X.
A progressive party would be doomed from the start, the dichotomy of us politics is an issue of inertia not party availability. Unless both parties splinter simultaneously how could it possibly be successful? You think the american people are generally progressive? Look at this last election!
Nobody has offered a progressive choice iyn that level. Progressives speak to the working class as do populists, there are Bernie bros who joined the Trump train.
Bernie Bros aren’t progressive. That’s why they’re Bernie Bros.
challenging? sure, but if there were ever conditions for the viable split it would be now. Progressives could splinter Democrats enough for mainstream dems take notice. What’s needed is a desire to make it happen and a few capable leaders to unite folks behind the idea… AOC and Bernie may be able to pull it off but haven’t indicated any desire yet
It may work out in the long term, but the next few elections after a split (assuming there are elections) are going to be purely conservative. Blame this fucking 2p fptp system.
system’s gotta go for sure
