    This, this is what we need. If everyone votes. If we can get a progressive executive in and a progressive Congress where we can, we can potentially correct the course everything is going.

    No more control of everything by the wealthy. That is the ultimate goal. We want to separate power from money.

      Listen to progressives, get progressive enthusiasm.

      Democrats have had it backwards for so long, demanding that progressives must demonstrate more decades of unearned fealty before the party will consider listening to them.

      Look what happens when they put the horse before the cart for once.

        I don’t need to be that guy, but I think we can thank Joe.

        That man has been around for decades, championing neoliberal trash easily for the first two thirds. It’s taken someone like him being wrong over and over and over, getting up again, and making better decisions the next day.

        Thanks, Joe.

        It’s ironic that all these new lovers of geopolitics that hate Joe for his Israel stance over the years also refuse to consider American politics. Joe’s only doing what the American Empire has been working towards for a century. The fact he’s pushed back at all is incredible. This isn’t “gay marriage is a good thing” or “black people should use fountains” — the existence of Israel and western influence in that area is possibly worth trillions of dollars. Joe’s listening, he just knows more than us. Obviously.

          And the decision to step aside for his country to boot. Admiration abound for demonstrating true leadership there, and overall.

      We want to separate power from money.

      Unfortunately, the two have an extremely strong attraction to each other. Keeping them apart isn’t feasible in the long run without actively dismantling concentrations of power.

        Just have Harris murder them before they’re sworn in and keep double tapping every new one that shows up until the state legislature get the message.

        Impeachment is a joke and the scotus said presidents are immune. She can literally do whatever she wants.

        /s of course

        Ultimately, they are cowards. And when they see the numbers of voters for the progressives, most will abandon that when we also see that a huge amount of progressives are well armed.
