    They will never support policy that will force their rich doners to make concessions, and wealth inequality has gotten to a point where that is required for things to get better.

    Those two are a shining example of how the Democratic party has enabled the growth of facism in this country. If you stand for nothing but party donors then you become complicit in whatever results from your inaction.

    This lady’s podcast is great, because they’re still relatively unknown enough that people don’t realize that they’re badass progressives that will hold your feet to the fire.

    So they get guests like Cory Booker on, and then refuse to let him weasel out of refusing to call Gaza a genocide.

    Probably only a matter of time before people catch on and they stop going on the show I guess.

    Dems need to dump those two if they want to improve their odds, replace them with actual leaders if they want to do better, or run someone with real progressive values if they’d like to try their hand at governance again.

      The Democratic Party leadership doesn’t want to “improve their odds”, or “do better”, they want to maintain their proximity to wealth and power, and to get rich off of insider trading. They are not your friends, and they are not your representatives. They do not want to help you.

    Not riding his “wave”?

    I can think of a better word there that still works.

          What was the joke part? Looks like no one else got it either.

          And are you liberal or lefty? Those are different.

          I guess humor is hard to convey online sometimes.

          Fyi. I like mamdani. Maybe I was thinking about… Well. That wave.

          Not a bad wave to ride. ☺️

            If people aren’t getting the joke, you should put that on yourself, not others. Knowing your audience and writing for them is part of a good joke. Or any other writing, really.

        I like mamdani.

        I’m lefty. Jesus.

        I still think it would be funnier to say his penis. Common. It is funnier. Don’t deny it.
