Sinema and Fetterman ran as progressives and were elected them. Manchin is from a deep red state where being a moderate is needed in order to win there.

I want Dems to vet the shit out of every candidate going forward no more Sinamas Manchens or fettermans or Cuomos

Just want to point out that progressive leader Bernie Sanders said in an interview that Trump is better than Biden on immigration. Those words came directly out of his mouth.

Bernie Sanders says Trump is right on immigration. Better than Biden. Bernie Sanders is to Harris' right on immigration.

Dems helped keep the GOP from taking healthcare away from trans kids in July. Dems voted unanimously to get it removed from the bill and were successful. Giving one party all power kind of limits what the other one can do.

Hopefully the scales will begin to fall from some eyes who had previously convinced themselves they were Super Progressive for actively sabotaging Dems.

There were progressives who were complaining about Harris' policies being too centrist on the border, but this guy is further right than her on immigration.

It's literally their job to make this shit clear to everyday people, and yet they are not at all up to task. Whatever it's out of fear or compliance, it doesn't matter. It's downright shameful.

New York Times reports that it is unclear whether having a federal agency accept money in excess of congressional appropriations "violates a law prohibiting federal agencies from accepting money in excess of congressional appropriations." I guess we'll never know!

The president said today that a donor had given the government $130 million to help pay troops during the government shutdown. He declined to name the donor, but described him as a “patriot” and a personal friend.

If evenly distributed, the money would pay only about $100 to each service member. But is not yet clear how the money will be used, or whether the donation violates a law prohibiting federal agencies from accepting money in excess of congressional appropriations.

Yeah we should put Bernie in the contraption, what the fuck is this dawg

In an interview on “The Tim Dillon Show” released earlier this week, Sanders was asked whether there was a position the Democratic Party could take that recognizes the importance of U.S. citizenship and border security.

“As long as we have nation states, which we have, you got to have borders, right?” the progressive lawmaker said. “If you don’t have any borders, then you don’t have a nation, right, in a sense. So has historically the United States done well under Democrats and Republicans protecting the border? The answer is no.”

He continued: “Trump did a better job. I don’t like Trump, but we should have a secure border, and it ain’t that hard to do.”

Sanders added that former President Joe Biden and “those before him” did not succeed at protecting the border.

“We should have a secure border, period,” Sanders said in the interview released Wednesday. “I think most people in Congress agree with that.”

Host and comedian Tom Dillon went on to ask Sanders why Biden wasn’t “more proactive” when it came to immigration.

“He did some things... I think by the end of his term, if my memory is correct, the number of illegal folks coming in had gone down,” Sanders replied. “But, I’m not going to sit here and tell you that overall it was a good job. It was not.”

It should be noted that this has always been Bernie's position on the border. It's why he appeals to a section of MAGA. It's why I rolled my eyes at leftists complaining about Harris on the border, knowing this guy is their champion.

I think liberals and leftists can agree with one another that Trump's ballroom must have a wrecking ball go through it in 2028.

It's funny how the people who spent months saying the Dems need to change nationally to be more like Mamdani are now questioning why anyone would do polling outside of NYC about what they think about him.

Lakshya Jain @lakshya.splitticket.org · 1d

Sneak peek of our newest poll, to be released Monday:

- Zohran is startlingly unpopular nationally, and is doing worse than AOC/Newsom — and his numbers are far worse than AOC's ever were, including in 2018.
- Schumer probably gets clobbered by AOC in 2028.

Can Democrats actually learn anything from Zohran?

New Yorkers like him. Other Americans … not so much.

This is true. When a party is locked out of power, they direct their anger at party leaders. Even though there is nothing they can do to take back power until at least two years.

A deep blue city is the testing ground for what resonates with voters across America? He might not even win more share of the vote than Adams did in 2021.

Robert Reich @rbreich.bsky.social · 1d

This dark time should wake us up to the bankruptcy of the corporate Democratic Party. It should mark the birth of the people’s Democratic Party. Zohran Mamdani and others like him are its future. Some thoughts...

A big part of this is him putting Dems in a position to defend something they feel comfortable on and voters feel comfortable with Democrats on. Healthcare.

I know Schumer is nowhere perfect, but between the shutdown strategy and not putting all his weight behind Platner, he's definitely not the idiot that some on here claim he is. He's been on a roll since mid-September.

The Fig Economy @figgityfigs.bsky.social · 2d

“We will not give Donald Trump a license to play politics with people’s livelihoods. That’s why we oppose the Senator Johnson bill, because it doesn’t end the pain of this shutdown – it extends it,” Schumer said on the Senate floor on Thursday.

This is *exactly right*.
