Zohran Mamdani’s affordability message has fired up the left — but James Carville isn’t convinced the progressives will take over. He predicts the center-left will still lead the party. Do you agree?

💚That deep sadness you feel, the irritability, anger, and numbness. It’s grief. Grief for who we were. Grief for who we could have been. Grief for the loss of CDC as we knew it and all that means for so many.

Be kind to yourself. Be patient. It’s ok to grieve. 💚

People are always telling me that my videos shouldn't be longer than a minute because people don't watch that long. So I beg you: Make an exception. It's important that people know this, and not everything can be--or should be--explained in 60 seconds. youtu.be/upZz4T3A4wU

Right wing is NOT synonymous with fascism. While we may differ on views and actions… conservative values can mean many different things to many different people. We have conservatives on the left, as well…. Demonizing people for being different is the same as labeling all liberals as terrorists ….
