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.
What I was referencing really, but his entire fall into mostly progressive policies has been a kind of crazy sight. Like how’d we get to Walz? This feels like a Henry Wallace pick to me. Crazy.
Need to ungerrymander states or else you'll have nothing if the house is full of red shit state obstructionists
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
Dark brandon still has 5 months to fuck shit up for the regressives. LETS GO!
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.
Money is literally power.
It is a coupon that commands a fraction of labor and capital combined.
If we can get a progressive executive in and a progressive Congress
Hold on there. Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts has other ideas. "...we are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.....”
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.
Can't wait to hear the Trump/Vance take on this.
"THEY MAKE PEOPLE WAIT"
I kind of pity trump’s sharpie. I’m not sure it has enough ink for all those stick figures he’s gonna be drawing.
I doubt he would know how. Suppose his cell mate could teach him, if he asks nicely.
His cell mate Bowling Ball Bag Bob, Who like to play a game called "balls on chin"
Some GOP Governor will declare the line for one of their rallies loitering and send in the police. Trump will demand the rallies be suppressed.
their current shitty take is that these people allegedly only lined up for the "free concert" and "handouts" (that just must have happened to justify this many people in line, I mean, it's self evident isn't it? /s) and they then allegedly all left before Kamala even got on stage, lmao
“We make people wait longer!”
These crowds are incredible. Detroit was just as big. I'd post some Twitter, but you guys will whine no end.
Let's test a mastodon link instead!

Or or, and hear me out (actual campaign presence): https://truthsocial.com/@KamalaHQ/posts/112917651295728303
Now why would truth social be OK with you guys and Twitter is not?
Kamala is meeting people where they’re at. Even if it’s a cesspool swamp worse than Twitter.
WTF are you talking about.
The truth social link points to a post by the Harris waltz campaign.
The argument isn't the presenter but the medium in which it is presented.
The medium it’s presented in has a lot of Trump supporters. Showing up and being visible in that space is important.
You're telling me. My IPTV just changed from the Olympics to the Trump news conference all by itself and I don't think I'll ever be the same.
Hell, at least Truth Social is clearly right wing; X is still pretending to be Twitter, wearing the blue bird like a skin suit.
“Put the lotion in the basket Elon…”
What would I care. For me confirmation of news happens with common sense story by story. A story can go though several modes of media before it gets to you. In fact, the whiners seem to dislike the owner of Twitter. I could give two shits because I know that a story can start in Twitter and end up on this very sub.
Meh, post any. Let them whine!
Let's watch

First time I've ever clicked a truth social link
I found that I can either accept their cookies, or get more information about why I can only accept them, which concluded my brief visit.
Same here. I haven't felt filthy visiting a website in a long time
Me too! (I actually found it on mastodon)
Holy shit that’s a big crowd
I wish I knew how to use that site but it's kinda complicated to me
It honestly gives me chills that Democrats responded to organic democratic efforts. We finally had a real Primaries, and look at that enthusiasm.
I'll say it again and again: Enthusiasm is contagious. Every one of these people are amped up; they will then turn around and talk to their family and friends. They will remind more apathetic people they know who lean left and convince them to register and vote. Because their morale is high, they're going to spend a little more time combating trolls on social media instead of letting them run their mouths unchecked and spreading misinformation unchallenged. They may be able to even reach out to their uncle or parent who leans right and gain a convert here and there... Again, because excitement is contagious.
I've been saying this for years that this is how Democrats win.
fingers crossed for you, USizens - and for the rest of the world, I guess...
