Nah, we can still move to the right, just ignore that.

The problem is “no matter who” leaves no room for better democrats.

Which is why the party is basically oops all manchins.

If it wasn’t manchin, someone else would have rotated in.

I didn’t mention environmental impact, now did I? I thought I was talking about direct individual benefits. You know, shit that makes a measurable impact on people’s lives before the election? Something we can point to when people point out that things suck? Not just “be grateful you don’t have it worse like other countries.” Which is shit messaging to people who aren’t making it, no matter how much it resonates with the out of touch overpaid consultants that control party messaging.

If the trump admin goes after congress members, they’re going after the Squad first so most democrats will be on board.

They’re actual antisemites, not just people who don’t like netanyahu’s genocide, so nothing will be done.

This is a new discovery for people who don’t want to primary centrists. Imagine that. Insults aren’t an acceptable replacement for having actual arguments? Centrists didn’t seem to think so when they spent a whole ass year screaming abuse at anyone who didn’t love their fucking genocide.

So again, if he’s so far to the center, why are centrists trying to kick him out?

ITT: Walter Sobchak.

Primary them sure.

Democratic primaries are kabuki. Trying to oust Hogg is just the latest demonstration.

Want to primary useless centrists? Welp, guess we suddenly like school shootings.

He’s positioned as the oligarch’s choice for succession. He was groomed for politics by corporate centrists because he’s got a compelling backstory.

And now that he’s pulling a reverse Fetterman, you hate him. Centrists thought they were getting yet another corporate turd like they wanted, but he turned out to actually want to fix things they like broken.

Unfortunately, democrats only use that tool when they have the majority and only talk about using it when they don’t.

And all it took was Garland slow walking everything like he was hired to do.

If the midterms were held tomorrow I think the GOP would lose their majority (in at least one chamber)

I dunno. I bet democrats could find a way to fuck things up between now and tomorrow.

And centrists ran on the inflation reduction act in 2024, with no shame at all for what they stole from us. Because killing everything that had a direct tangible benefit to voters (except lowering the price of 10 drugs for boomers on medicare) was democrats’ accomplishment.

Go ahead. Tell me how all the corporate handouts in the law will help individuals. Trickle down economics is so great.

We gave democrats the means.

They worked with republicans to block what they ran on. They betrayed their voters and demand perfect loyalty forever no matter what they do.

The party is a huge problem. People who love how corporate and pro-genocide the party has become blame anyone who wants better.

If Hogg were attempting to further entrench centrist hegemony, party leadership wouldn’t be opposing him.
