Antonio Delgado is running against Hochul and appears to be much more progressive than she is, worth giving him a look if you're in NY @delgadoforny.bsky.social

Yep, we are about to see a total scorched earth policy from the dem party to stop zohran it seems. Historically, dumping millions into a race to torpedo a socialist frontrunner has been effective. Makes me nervous, but this could also be the moment the dem establishment loses its grip on the party.

The greatest depression 🖐🤚

Look, I'm not the white moderate MLK warned about. I think your confusing liberals (whom I agree are fake allies) with leftists who do actually care about true solidarity with marginalized people everywhere.

I love this. At no point in this thread have I ever said racism isn't a huge problem that needs to be addressed. I said taking a defeatist attitude that things can't be fixed so we shouldnt even try is unhelpful. But you can keep putting words in my mouth if it makes you feel better.

There is an actual backlash that the dems didn't do *anything* substantive to punish the total lawlessness of the gop. Instead we got pelosi and biden campaigning on wanting "a strong gop"

Ok, have fun believing america is irredeemably racist i guess. Just do us a favor and stop trying to discourage people from building an actual left coalition, its not helpful for anyone, thanks.

Leftist broadcasters are discussing this, but good luck getting corporate media to report on anything that exposes the actual workings of empire.

Yep, and those online libs with hundreds of thousands of followers (like brooklyndad_COMPLIANT) are literally on the payroll of a dem super pac to tweet support for establishment dems and their policies. Was not surprised when Biden invited all of them to the white house. Propagandists for empire.

Totally agree with you on all of that.

Im not excluding any of that. I'm just pointing out the media claims moving left will destroy your electoral chances when history shows the exact opposite.

When dems passed the New Deal they won every presidential and midterm election for 16 years straight, and forced a fascist gop to move hard left to compete. I'm soo sick of the media propagandizing people into believing the answer is to move right.

Absolutely. The oligarchs know. Theyre just looting whats left while they still can.

Totally hear you. Shits bleak af right now. But I'm trying to remind myself that with the old world crumbling comes opportunity. So hope for the best and prepare for the worst.

I think being right does matter even if it's never been able to overcome the influence of media outlets owned by the billionaires. Its scary seeing the robber-barons try and censor the internet but I still have some small hope the ability to spread messages rapidly here might swing our luck 1 day
