    Trump is already talking about canceling the next election, and you want Progressives to stay home.

    Sounds like you’re doing Trump’s job for him.

      This isn’t team sports, bud, this is rich fucks versus normal people.

      You want to stand on business about real change, you have to be ready and willing to hold the government accountable no matter the banner they fly under. I wanted Zohran and AOC to be better, but they’re not. They’re supporting cruelty and death across the globe. 🤷🏽‍♂️

        You didn’t actually respond to the point, that you’re doing Trump’s job for him.

        A lot of people didn’t vote last time because of the genocide in Gaza. Now we have a genocide in Gaza, an ongoing genocide in Ukraine, and new one in Venezuela, plus ICE killing folks here in the USA.

          And the DNC has learned nothing.

          Schumer and Jefferies can’t even muster the bare minimum of saying that ICE needs to be removed from our streets.

          Sanders is playing both sides of Venezuela AND Israel.

          Pelosi has more insider trading crimes under her belt than I have ass hair.

          Stop blaming your neighbors and point that indignant rage at the people playing you like a fool. Demand better than shiny turds.

            Mamdani and AOC did it, in the strongest Democrat strong hold in the nation.

            Who are you pushing in the primaries? How much have you sent to ActBlue?

              Mamdani and AOC are actively condemning pro Palestine protestors in NYC.

              Not condemning the Zionists using synagogues in NYC to host real estate sales of West Bank properties.

              Not condemning the pro Zionist counter protesters flying hate flags and spewing bile.

              Immediately attacking the left.

              They lied to get the votes and are knee capping momentum on the people’s movements to protect genocidal warmongers.

              I am deeply sorry, and I understand it’s a pain in the ass to keep being disappointed in these politicians- But I’m not the villain for expecting the DNC to do better. 🤷🏽‍♂️

                You would have let the Nazis keep rolling, because the Birts and the Americans were racist, too.

                Mamdani and AOC are actively condemning pro Palestine protestors in NYC.

                Your “evidence” belies that & reveals it’s about objecting to Hamas.

                Mamdani is a pro-Palestinian critic of Israel.

                One of the executive orders that Mr. Mamdani revoked had codified a contentious definition of antisemitism, proposed by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance, that equated some criticism of Israel with hatred of Jewish people. The other banned city agencies from boycotting Israel, a form of nonviolent protest that Mr. Mamdani has defended throughout his public life.

                AOC has been one of Israel’s sharpest critics in Congress, led a push to halt American military aid to Israel, criticized Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Claiming she isn’t pro-Palestinian is tired purity bullshit.

                  AOC continues to vote to send money to Israel’s ‘defense’, and you’re telling me to ignore my eyes reading their statements and instead simply nod along.

                  They are not immune to critique, and I’m sorry that expecting the man who ran on “I’ll arrest Netanyahu if he steps foot in NYC” running defense for Zionist land sales in his city to just do better is so damn offensive to you, man. 🤷🏽‍♂️ It isn’t a ‘purity test’ to expect them to stand on their word(s) and not attack leftist protests for the sake of optics when we’re literally dealing with gestapo in the streets.

                  Buddy, expecting you to hold the people you vote for accountable has no bearing on ICE being trigger happy Nazis. 🤷🏽‍♂️

                  I did my due diligence and voted even though Kamala doesn’t deserve it, and not once have I said ‘don’t vote’. Sharpen your fangs somewhere else.
