@Plastik_Bottl @TacoCanada47 @eternallyRaq So none of you are actually serious about substantive left wing policies being enacted? This is all just a weirdo joke where you get to laugh while people suffer? That’s lovely. May I suggest: “humor for the homeless (since we’re not helping you get housing)” as your rally call?

Very obviously on purpose - but still a ridiculous ejection. Just killed our bullpen for tomorrows game.

@Miggysbat Yeah, exactly right. That was a bush-league move by Framber. And all it's going to do is lead to Boston throwing at your teammates in response. It's just putting yourself before the team in a colossally stupid way.

Alright, I’m a Tigers fan, but if *this* is what had Framber Valdez so pissed off and prompted a fastball square in Trevor Story’s back, maybe don’t give up a 449FT home run? x.com/MLB/status/205…

@BeliTsari @LeftyWinter There were plenty of lefties that stood against FDR when he was in office. The left has always existed... and has never accomplished anything. That's the funny thing about mentioning FDR. In those days, you would have been Norman Thomas at best... and Father Coughlin at worst.

@StirMeBiscuits @mistergeezy The DNC actively did not want Joe Biden in 2020. They conspired against him in the same way you allege they conspired against Bernie. The only difference is that Biden won anyway because what you call "rigging" an election has nothing to do with what matters -- the votes.

@mistergeezy The DNC, Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama. All are on record for having put fingers on the scale instead of allowing a free and fair primary in 2016/2020 And you won't even acknowledge it. This is why your party fails.

@notaroIemodeI @ManaMaiden @queerBengali By your definition, he was. The DNC acted against his interests. You have to assign incredibly bizarre motives to explain any other rationale for why the DNC did what they did. You could stop saying the election was rigged if you don’t like a consistent application of it.

@MeCivilize @ManaMaiden @queerBengali Biden lead in every single poll from 2018 all the way through all of 2019 and then all but 2 polls prior to Feb. 2020 when SC took place. But sure man, it was rigged against him because for 2 weeks of 2.5 years of polls, he was only leading in some of them lmao

If he loses, i will gloat unendingly. But i would rather he not lose. And I don’t think Dems should root for his loss. Vote blue no matter who has to go both ways

If Graham Platner loses, the DSA/Sanders progressives will blame the establishment and AIPAC and anyone that is available to blame. They won't, in any event, look inward. They are a movement that resents accountability, introspection and admission of failure.

@notaroIemodeI @ManaMaiden @queerBengali So the DNC conspired to make Biden look progressive in a race with Warren and Sanders running to his left? And then paid the media to run attack after attack ad asking if he would drop out because of his poor pulling numbers pre-South Carolina? That’s pretty out there…

@MeCivilize @ManaMaiden @queerBengali Bloomberg was brought in to be a rightwing alternative who made Biden look more progressive by contrast bc he was the only serious contender remotely close to Trump on the issues Americans were most upset about. No other centrist dem was even being named in polls prior to ‘19

@ekzoom8 @russelldobular We are talking about Obama’s ability to influence Congress. You are arguing that you expect Congress to cede to the will of Obama or else lose their committee seating. This is a whole other discussion.

@MeCivilize @russelldobular Im not saying capitulate to the party.. Im saying capitulate to what your CONSTITUENTS want instead of what their donors want. Things like universal health care are OVERWHELMINGLY wanted by their voters.. yet.. it never happens. CA has a D SUPERmaj and it didnt happen.

Notice how the vast majority of accomplishments on this list are pre-70’s/New Democrats. The only two “accomplishments” from the modern era listed are: -Obamacare: a band-aid on a gunshot wound at a time when the Dems had a supermajority in both Houses. Part of the reason it ended up that way was Obama leaning on Dems that wouldn’t vote for it without a public option, instead of the ones who wouldn’t vote for it with one. Rotating villain-a-go-go. -Gay Marriage: A better demonstration of why Dems have lost their base you couldn’t find than the fact that this was the only other thing from the past 50 years he could come up with-a parade that had long since gathered majority public support before Dems jumped out in front of it. The kicker is they all opposed it right up to the minute the polls told them it was safe to virtue-signal off the issue. Hooray for gay marriage, but when that’s all you’ve got, folks start to get the sneaking suspicion that’s all you have, and it ain’t enough.

The Democratic Party gave you: Social Security Medicare Medicaid Obamacare The 40 hour work week Women the right to vote The Civil Rights Act The Voting Rights Act Gay marriage The Fair Housing Act And so much more.... But sure, keep singing that same tired "Democrats ain't shit" song that Hasan Piker and the other communists and chaos agents taught you. It's not gonna make him want to bang you bro. It just keeps liberals divided so that you never have the unity or allies help you get the things you claim to want.

@ekzoom8 @russelldobular their own detriment. You're demanding they do both A and Not A. Can you identify how someone can live up to *this* standard? Is the only solution voting exactly how you want?

@ekzoom8 @russelldobular I don't know if that happened to Bernie or anyone else. That's not the point. There is a different thought I'm trying to draw out of you. You set up a scenario where Congressmen should capitulate entirely to the party. However, they should also stand up against the party to...

@ekzoom8 @russelldobular I can work with this. So you believe Bernie shouldn't have just "meekly accepted" the DNC "rigging" the election. Isn't it conceivable that Bernie was threatened with a loss of a committee assignment if he didn't go away quietly?

@MeCivilize @russelldobular would that change how they vote ? Yes... vote our way or there WILL be ACTUAL consequences. As for Bernie.. who gives a shit what Bernie says ? hes a Zionist psyop who revealed his lack of balls when he meekly accepted the Ds election rigging.

@notaroIemodeI @ManaMaiden @queerBengali And that is what you qualify as “rigging” since we’re not talking about manipulating vote totals. Biden was not chosen by the DNC, he was chosen by black voters in the South.

@notaroIemodeI @ManaMaiden @queerBengali I’m not sure I’d call it “hilarious.” But it is an objective truth that the DNC tried to force Biden out when the initial results came back. They intentionally coaxed in Bloomberg in some bizarre attempt to siphon off potential Biden voters behind a “more electable” candidate.

@ekzoom8 @russelldobular Do you believe that would change how Bernie Sanders would have voted? Would you have respected Bernie if he would have capitulated in such a way you think these other Congressmen should have?

@hasanthehun Pro-zionists don’t give a shit about you. If anything, they’re happy someone like you has been given the keys. Someone else may be competent. No one thinks your insightful political commentary like “suck my dick you old lady” is going to achieve anything meaningful.

beyond that, israel plays a huge role in our domestic affairs. let’s be real. half the reason for the longevity of this anti hasan discourse is because i’m an avowed antizionist and a critic of israel and i pissed off some very powerful people who want me to be silenced.

Sohrab Ahmari@SohrabAhmari

It's one thing for Democrats to downgrade the US-Israel relationship, as Democrats, Independents, and younger Republicans demand. It's another thing to become a singularly Israel-focused party. @james_billot argues. unherd.com/2026/05/dems-i…

@notaroIemodeI @queerBengali The primary was “rigged” in the same way against Biden and somehow he still won. If you want to be an authoritarian, just do so. Say the votes shouldn’t matter. Otherwise, your guy lost fairly where it mattered most: by the amount of votes cast.

@queerBengali “i will gloat unendingly” did you apologize to Bernie supporters when Hilary lost for saying she was more electable? Or does your recognizing that (literally proven to be rigged in court) primaries are not the general only extend to candidates you don’t like?

@Eduardo13900219 @noahalyx We do have more than two parties. We just use the primary system to force coalitions, unlike other political models. But the end result is the same. Just no one wants to work together right now.

@noahalyx Seriously i do think we need more parties. The 3rd way is so ingrained and corporatists are horrible in the Democratic Party . However I think it only works if republicans split up from far right back to non maga republicans.
