pushing Democrats to the center

Because that worked out so well for them in 2024...

Pushing democrats to the center would be left at this point. They are a center right party now

That’s 100% what I thought the title meant before reading. Was like oh good some less right wing people getting promoted, maybe the dems did learn something from 2024. Nope… same old right wing dems.

Establishment democrats don't care about winning. They are controlled opposition.

Anytime you see someone say "vote blue no matter who," slap them.

I think I do not understand American politics. Given that federal politics are mostly hidden vote counts manipulated by people. Is this new group hopelessly out of touch or is there a grift where I don’t know how it works ?

There is no left wing in America politics. There's only right wing and farther right wing.

Don’t vote for anyone who takes a single dollar from the Israeli lobby. Or from any billionaires who support the Israeli terrorist regime.

Period.

Edit: or anyone who votes to keep giving federal funding to Israel in ANY capacity. At this point, Israel is literally worse than North Korea. Israel is currently a pariah, terrorist state. They can defend themselves from the genocides they have committed. The problems of Israel are no longer the concern of Americans. Period.

You can be a single issue voter on this specific issue and you will root out the rot of our democratic AND republican leadership in our congress and senate. And president for that matter.
