A real progressive is never going to come within sniffing distance of the presidency. After Bernie’s primaries got rigged the Democrats were sued for running rigged primaries, they admitted it, and it’s perfectly legal for them to do so.
That’s what all those shiny superdelegates are for.
Further, you saw with the accusations of radical jihadism against AES and Zohran, and the weaponized SA allegation against Platner, and James Carville’s public admission that they’d rather Republicans win than Socialists, that the Democratic Party has no intention of ever running a real progressive for president.
Stop huffing 10 year old copium and engage with reality. Progressive politics are on the ascendancy, and people are ABSOLUTELY FUCKING SICK of Radical Centrism™️. Schumer and Jeffries need to go, for sure, but this is the best time to launch a Progressive in years.
And actually, it was the best time in decades. But we’ve seen how this ends. Obama made extravagant progressive promises, had a supermajority, and all he did with it was advance fascism, expand the wars he’d promised to end, and make health care more expensive.
Until I see them actually vote otherwise, I have to assume Democrats have every intention of wasting the next two years and making themselves wealthier, and in 2028, handing things back off to Republicans.
The establishment will absolutely try to put their thumbs on the scale, but it’s very unlikely that kind of trick would work again. The progressive genie is not going back in the bottle and we’re likely going to see more progressives achieve national prominence over the next two years.
Mamdani’s wrong.

Hoping I’m wrong, but we’ll see.

I hope you’re right.
