I hate the corpo news. I listened to these asahates try and explain that the night was about centrist Democrats being able to turn solid red districts. People were looking at the message of radical shift away from the current course and its being watered down. NO motherfuckers...this is NOT the time to come to the middle and court the right. This is the time to MAGA up the left and course correct away from that loosing strategy.
They know where their bread is buttered and they suck for it. I don't want to say it's time to MAGA up the progressives because, well MAGA are stupid reactionaries that can't hold a coherent thought in their head but you're damn right that it's time for actual action that are FOR the people and not have it watered down by Republicans.
I still think this whole election isn't about the Democrats at all and the wins from people like El-Sayed the non-DSA DSA, DSA Ashley Herrmann winning, the election of Talarico and Hamilton in Kansas, and the extremely close race with Angie Nixon in Florida. All of these guys won their races not being progressive or liberal or centrist, they won because the Average American just wants change, someone who will listen to them and will vote for anyone who will give them that or at least promise them that because we're all tired boss.
Again, of course these guys know where their bread is buttered, so they'll ignore that whole lesson to keep the status quo of corporate money.
Keep voting and donating to Progressives, three decades of voting and I'm loving the changes that I've donated and volunteered for almost two decades taking hold.
And already the messaging is coming out "if the lesson Dems take from this is they can move to the left they're going to lose and lose big" like what the actual fuck.
The news focusing on the most left as a boogey man was their mistake. It just made it obvious who was saying the right things to get popular support. The lesson is MORE LEFT not less...
Go Left, or get left.
I think the ones who matter already get it. The corporate media will keep trying to cling to power, but it will slip through their fingers like grains of mortal sand into the deep, while they weep, while they weep
