The only way progressives are loading anybody into train cars is when they develop a national high speed rail system that centrists and republicans were too corrupt to pursue.
Senator who puts Israel over American interests is concerned other Democrats are anti-American…

As someone who ideologically disagrees with him on a few things, he actually handles himself pretty well in communicating his policies and can be quite diplomatic
No, intent is routinely inferred. That’s how criminal intent works. Nobody needs a signed confession.
“There might be another explanation” is not a magic escape hatch when actual policy is collective deprivation of Gaza, mass displacement, & destruction of civilian life at scale
Here’s why ‘Horse Shoe theory’ is invoked:
Centrists HATE when the left has agreements with the right on substance. They want to be the owners and gatekeepers of bipartisanship on donor-friendly economic policy, social policy and hollow cultural gestures.
Hang on… so the current CA governor favorite by far is a guy who was on @hasanthehun not too long ago? Didn’t seem to hurt him!

Historical accumulation. Agriculture, surplus, geography, trade, stored knowledge, institutions, and often conquest/extraction. Technological disparity is about compounded material history, not a hierarchy of human brains.

We can keep it up. These people have not helped us once. They do not care about fascism. They care about money, attention, and internet psychodrama. We believed these people had power over us for far too long. They don't. They're losers.
I do want to listen. But listening doesn’t mean I’m not allowed to have a perspective or ask questions. I’d genuinely like to hear your thoughts in response to the substance of what I said about material outcomes and universal programs. That’s the conversation I’m trying to have.
Funny how every time a progressive like Zohran might win, the establishment cries it’ll “hurt Democrats.” What they really mean is it hurts their influence, donor checks & cushy gigs. The party’s fine… it’s their racket that’s in trouble.
I guess we leftists are now ready to support Cuomo because Zohran, who says on national tv that he doesn't like capitalism, and strongly opposes our tax dollars going to bombing children, now "discourages" (but doesn't condemn) a phrase that he's always been saying he never used.
The fact that Zohran Mamdani @ZohranKMamdani is allowing the media and political class twist his arm like this already over this bad faith non issue and he hasn’t even won the general yet is a very worrying sign.
Bernie has called for and fought to strip Israel of US funding for their genocide. That would effectively end it.

Four high-ranking ex-NYPD chiefs are suing Mayor Adams, claiming they were forced to retire from the department after complaining his “unqualified” friends were being placed in prestigious posts, sometimes after allegedly bribing their way into the jobs. nydailynews.com/2025/07/08/e…
I call on Democratic leaders to condemn this. @SenSchumer @RepJeffries
