@VanJones68 Van Jones, what a sellout. Attacking DSA who fight for real systemic change while you defend the broken status quo. DSA's bold vision for justice, workers, and ending exploitation is actual progress, you're just scared of it.

I'm tired of being told that, to be a progressive, I now must swear allegiance to crazy ideas.
I'm a strong Democrat, with a winning bipartisan track record. I'm rooted in progressive ideals and policies: criminal justice reform, Green New Deal, Medicare for All, free education, clean air and water. These are ideas I have fought for my entire adult life.
But some people in groups like the DSA are pushing an agenda FAR outside those ideals. Supporting Hamas is not progressive. "No police, no prisons, no borders" is not progressive. Celebrating the murder of Israeli civilians is not progressive. These ideas are REGRESSIVE.
If there were no police or prisons, if anyone in your neighborhood could do whatever they wanted, while politicians cheered on terror groups — would that represent PROGRESS to you? No, that would be a step back. Those are REGRESSIVE ideas.
On the other hand, if everybody could see a doctor when they got sick, get a good, free education and breathe clean air — would that represent progress? Yes. Those are PROGRESSIVE ideas.
They are NOT the same thing. And the difference matters.
Some defend the far left by claiming they only want Nordic-style social democracy. If that were true, I might applaud them. I want those policies, too! But what does universal healthcare have to do with Hamas? With abolishing all law enforcement? With erasing all borders? With treating every wealthy person as a villain? Ideas matter. And these are terrible ideas.
Right now, extremists are trying to sneak backwards proposals into our party, hoping mainstream Democrats are too frustrated with MAGA and the Democratic Party establishment to notice.
But we see you.
Yes, we want our Democratic Party to be a big tent. But we don’t need "party poopers. So STOP pooping in the punch bowl — and telling us the turds are ice cubes.
They aren't. And we are smart enough to know the difference. 💩

@siefermad Troy, we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one.

@FANTABULOSC Absolute copium. Your “whatever” is the sound of someone with zero rebuttal to how Trump’s JCPOA betrayal handed Iran nuclear momentum and this war.
English

@RichardAngwin Whatever makes you feel good about yourself...
English

@SnarkyTank Wrong on every count. The JCPOA kept Iran's program in check with verified compliance. Acceleration came only after the US pulled out. It was effective diplomacy that avoided worse alternatives. The deal delivered results. ✅
English

@SnarkyTank They were abiding, IAEA certified it repeatedly. Enrichment spiked after Trump withdrew. Your revisionism is embarrassing. 🤡
English

Let’s be real: the JCPOA wasn’t worth the paper it was printed on. The idea that it was a "success" ignores reality. How does a country legally bound by a non-proliferation deal suddenly ramp up uranium enrichment to 60% so quickly? Because the infrastructure and ambition never left. The regime wasn't abiding by the deal. They were exploiting it and thumbing their nose at it. They took the sanctions relief, kept their nuclear infrastructure intact, and laughed at the absolute naivete of the Obama administration. Exiting a bad deal was the only logical move.
English

@CanadianFir Exactly. Abandoning the JCPOA was a reckless move with clear consequences in this conflict. 😔
English

@RichardAngwin This whole war and bloodshed is to soothe the crying of a giant baby who threw a tantrum because Obama controlled Iran nuke program wirh JCPOA
English

@FANTABULOSC Your bio literally says “Don’t be an idiot” yet here you are dropping “Dumb” with zero facts or rebuttal. Peak self-own. 🤡
English

@george_spanky Withdrawing from the Iran nuclear deal was a critical foreign policy error that empowered Tehran's nuclear ambitions and sparked the current Gulf conflict.
English

@RichardAngwin Trump’s ego-fueled JCPOA tantrum handed Iran the nuclear fast-track and lit this war. Maximum failure, zero brains. 🤡
English

@_pointles_s Missed the point entirely. It's not about textbook defs, it's calling out hypocrisy of opposing "socialism" while cashing gov checks & using public services. Weak dodge. 🤡
English

The letter misdefines "socialism" as any government program; socialism classically means government ownership/control of production and distribution, whereas Social Security and Medicare function as compulsory insurance/savings systems funded primarily by dedicated payroll taxes paid by workers and employers over decades.
Public goods like roads, libraries, parks, and emergency services are not equivalent to redistributive welfare; they address market failures with broad societal benefits where private provision would be inefficient or underprovided, a distinction long accepted across political spectra including by limited-government advocates.

@KimHealy453160 The SAVE Act is straight-up voter suppression! Republicans ramming it onto spending bills to disenfranchise millions of citizens who can't easily get "proof." It's a cynical power grab, not integrity. Block it! 😡
English

@RichardAngwin DON’T LET THEM PASS THIS!!!!!! Especially since the GOP’s are trying to attach it to things that We Need! I’m so, so SICK of this Administrations continuous attempts to make things what THEY want them to be
and to hell with the American People😡
English

@SauronWasFramed lmao at the baseless 'Dems steal via fraud' claim. Audits show non-citizen voting is extremely rare & doesn't swing elections. SAVE Act risks blocking millions of citizens without easy docs. Facts over fear. 🗳️
English

@RichardAngwin Preserve voter fraud so democrats can steal from the government. Stop the save act.
lmao
English

@KeithStewa50130 Democrat/Communist ballot stuffing? Pure fiction, non-citizen voting is exceedingly rare per every audit & study. Requiring passports/birth certs blocks millions of citizens. This is suppression, not salvation. Rich projection on 'authoritarianism.' 🙄
English

@RichardAngwin Au Contraire Jimmy. Mandatory Voter ID will save our Republic from Democrat/Communist usual tried and true tactic of ballot box stuffing updated to the modern era.
Authoritarianism at it's worst.
English

@KeithStewa50130 Those classics have been banned & challenged in US schools for decades over language, race & themes. ALA data shows thousands of challenges yearly continuing the pattern. Your "none on the 2025 list = made up propaganda" is a weak dodge. Censorship is real. 📚

Bullshit Dingus. None of these books appear on the

Made up Leftist propaganda as usual. If they can't win on ideas they have to rely on lying and cheating elections.

@01Haws @4yp6vspmjn Millions of eligible Americans lack ready access to birth certificates or passports. The SAVE Act suppresses their votes, hitting minorities, low-income, elderly & young voters hardest. Pure voter suppression. 🚫
