@purplewaves7 It’s crazy that they don’t have anything like DSA as a fascist political organization with a mass base on the Right. They’re just too anti-social to do it and virtually all other RW activism is dominated by the countless groups that are essentially vassals of Republican donors.
Third Way's anti-Hasan push probably the biggest backfire of the cycle for Dems, right? It's an attention economy; that was the cue to say "pay attention to Abdul," who confidently grabbed the attention to say things liberals like and agree with.
Why are Dems going so hard on this? VA02 is 22% black, and those voters can be hard to turn out in midterms. They just voted big for the gerrymander, which Kiggins and Rs got thrown out. Base motivation — make that segment of part sprint to polls to vote Luria
@harbingerofwoke I think argument could be made only if America didn’t involve colonization and genocide but rather a bourgeois revolution in France or England or something

One thing you see often is AOC's biggest detractors acting like she has far more influence and power than she does in reality. It was a stupid lie told in a speech most people never watched and had no material impact on anything beyond giving endless fodder for online arguing.
I realize this is not especially politically productive to say but 80% of the hate AOC gets from the left is just barely-veiled misogyny from men who decided that every woman in politics with presidential ambitions must be essentially Hillary regardless of her record/ideology
From my perspective, leftists seem to hate AOC because she is one of the only genuinely left-wing politicians who is electorally and politically competent and able to attract at least a portion of the mainstream. There is nothing they are more allergic to than winning.
The reason is foreign students aren't let into the organized cheating circles btw
I think the complaint from the left might be that they believed Kamala Harris was making policy concessions to curb support from Republicans while Graham Platner is just talking to them and being scruffy
A sincere apology and explanation for “working tirelessly for a ceasefire” would be a good place to start imho
like a hundred rabidly angry replies to this that all boil down to “I’m sure a red-brown alliance would work this time”
