It's becoming very clear that structuring our entire society around maximising profit instead of planetary health was an extremely bad idea.
Islamophobia matters as much as racism, misogyny, misogynoir, anti-Blackness, anti-Semitism, etc. @SymoneDSanders
Call it out, EVERYTIME. Even when it’s someone you like.
You too @WajahatAli @rulajebreal
Marc Short, in a segment prior to mine, smeared @AbdulElSayed.
He suggests Democrats should fear for our safety campaigning with Abdul because Abdul is pro-Hamas.
We can never let such Islamophobia go unanswered.

WATCH: “We can’t let that kind of Islamophobia go unanswered.”
Rep. @RoKhanna calls out former Pence chief of staff @marctshort for his vile bigotry about @AbdulElSayed
This is your worst fucking position ever taken for any reason.@michaelharriot
Black people don’t even ever call each other monkey, why the fuck should we allow it for anyone else?!?!?!
No, just fucking NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

I’ve seen way more Black Americans call Hakeem Jeffries a sell out, coon & address how he doesn’t care for BAs than I’ve seen Palestine/MENA people & their worshippers check Rula Jebreal for her comments. Seems like the identity politics heavy with them actually 🌚

It's so funny to me that the bigotry was acceptable but the sexual assault is where ppl like Emma Vigeland draw the line.
We warned you. The 92% been telling you.

Democrat Tom Suozzi just went on Fox News to denounce socialism:
“We’re for capitalism not socialism.”
When capitalism is producing trillionaires as 70% of Americans struggle to afford housing, healthcare & groceries, the jig is up. The people are for socialism, not capitalism.

A lot of folks who work for the DNC, state parties, CAP, etc. seem to think that the reason the Democratic Party’s image is in the shitter is because leftists/anti-establishment progressives are out there bad mouthing the party on traditional media and social media. That that is what’s causing a bunch of Democrats to have a negative view of the party.
Which is completely delusional. And it avoids them having to undertake any actual introspection by just blaming loud progressive-left voices with large YouTube audiences or social media followings.
The reality is that the Democratic Party’s image is in the shitter because they’re not meeting the moment.
They’re not fighting back against Trump in a way that is being perceived as authentic and meaningful by voters.
They’re seen as too cautious and calculating after losing to Trump a second time.
They’re taking money from special interests and corporate PACs, which makes voters (including Democrats!) think they’re bought and paid for (and they have a point!).

it is incredibly funny how centrist democrats and republicans are both panicking in the exact same ways right now

wtf are you bragging about? NY-15 is STILL the poorest district in the country and Ritchie Tel Aviv Torres has been in office for 5 years and done fuck all to address that.

It really should tell you a lot that the Democrats reaction to the DSA wins is almost indistinguishable from the ring-wing reaction. It’s almost like they have more in common with each other.
Reince Priebus laments that the Democrat and Republican establishments no longer have the ability to "cut off" candidates because they "said something anti-Semitic."
"[In the past], we [party leaders] had all the money—I mean *all* the money, and we had all the people. Today, you've got a gazillion super PACs—unaccounted-for money flying every direction."
"The party is just one player now in this matrix, and they don't have the ability to say, 'Oh, you're cut off because you said something anti-Semitic.' Because they'll have a super PAC from some person that overcomes whatever power there used to be there to contain this kind of nonsense."

To paraphrase Ta-Nehisi Coates, Black people have never had the luxury of voting for a candidate catering to us. We choose least harm.
Now Centrist/Establishment Democrats are being asked to do the same and their answer is "Fuck no, we'll burn the entire party to the ground."
NY does NOT have open Primaries.
One must be a registered Dem, 6 mo.+ in advance in order to be eligible to vote in the Primary(to avoid day of switching type shit).
Democrats are tired of Establishment Dems telling us they can't change shit.
You can, Mamdani has shown us.
Y’all keep thinking this is ideological for me. It isn’t.
Our party has socialists, progressives, New Dems, Blue Dogs, moderates, and everything in between. I’ve worked with all of them.
Hell, I ran the House Democratic whip operation with 90 Progressives, 45 New Dems, and 45 Blue Dogs in a House where we had just a 15 seat majority. We cast more roll call votes and passed more legislation than any House in history because we understood that governing meant finding common ground.
That’s not my beef.
My question is simple: Are you working constructively to make the party better, or are you just there to piss all over it?
We already have one political party trying to defeat us. We can’t afford to spend all our time fighting a second front inside our own ranks.
If you’re on the team, be on the team. Push us. Challenge us. Make us better. But help us win.
