    I think the era of the Clinton / Obama conservative, heritage foundation friendly democrat is coming to an end thankfully. That’s why they are so salty - they realize their power is waning.

        What does this meme serve? Who benefits? Does anyone on the left benefit from this? Do you think that perhaps this only leads to infighting and inter-party antagonism?

        So, again, who benefits from you posting this? Surely no liberal or left leaning person. Instead, the sole beneficiary is right wing.

        Who benefits from the Democrats fighting the Democrats?

        Do we need to fix the issues within our own party? Yes. Do we need to do it by poking ourselves in the eye? No.

        So, kindly, you, fuck off, and if you don’t like it, exercise that authoritarian power you have to ban be for disagreeing with your terrible political views.

          Establishment Dems are close-to-right-wing (and if you compare to political landscapes outside the US, they are right-wing by and large). They line their pockets with big corpo money and AIPAC just the same as right-wing fucks.

          And the fact that those establishment Dems are all pissy about the rise of the “horrible” Progressive Dems should tell you all you need to know.

          We’re probably witnessing a historical change over in all honesty, by the time this is all said and done, the Republishit party will fracture and fade and establishment Dems will be the new “conservative” option with progressives being the left

            And your solution to this is to stir up drama based on what you think will happen.

            You know, when you pass out nicknames like “Republishit” you sounds just like Trump. Maybe if we bring up the intelligence level in our own discourse, instead of pissing and moaning and throwing around playground insults, we might actually have something.

              “Don’t rock the boat! Let’s just keep the status quo for another 30 or 40 years” "We gotta take the high road guys!’

              Fuck that noise, it’s high time we stopped associating establishment dems as the left. And it’s not “drama” to call out the bs they do and support. The meme is accurate to their behavior, you’re just mad it violates some sort of weird 1960s era political decorum rules or some shit

                Yeah, I suppose the best idea is to punch ourselves in the nuts while the GOP does whatever they want. It worked out great when everyone turned against Harris last election. “She’s a cop!” So, keep it up. Another 8 years of GOP rule can’t be as bad as establishment dems, right?

                  The political landscape has greatly changed since then. Then socialists were practically nobody, a few elections I think here and there but nothing too important at most

                  Now after Mamdani, you’ve got real socialists not only winning major elections. But unseating major establishment Dems with large AIPAC funding behind them and STILL losing. I forgot the particular race atm, but one had a dem incumbent where AIPAC spent over $50 million and STILL lost.

                  The establishment Dems no longer and should not be catered too, atp, if Republishits maintain control capitulating to establishment Dems wouldn’t change a damn thing either
