Fully with you there. A lot of people on the left are rapping on Schumer and Jeffries for being too moderate, and rightfully so. But I think there is a part of their extreme caution (or fecklessness) that comes from having seen more leftist candidates go down in flames in the past.
Having people like Mamdani, AOC, and others win elections decisively makes a huge difference. They are not perfect, but they move the needle in the right (left) direction.
It’s like the progression from Bush to Trump in reverse.
my god, you’ll make up any number of excuses to avoid the fact that democrat politicians are not on your side. they are on the side of the ruling class. wake up.
Yes, I care about the people dying because of trump.
In a perfect world, the U.S. would ditch the Democratic Party too, and move way to the left. But that ain’t gonna happen in our lifetimes. The Dems winning is quite possible if people aren’t fucking idiots again. And that would be better than what we have now by a long way.
Don’t let perfection distract you from better.

Are we feeling bad about not voting effectively against trump and lashing out defensively again?
i don’t know what you’re doing, but I didn’t vote for any genocidal or fascist candidates in any election, and I never will
democrats make fascism inevitable
Aha! I was bang on.
Enjoy the speed run to fascism you helped cause.
i’m not american, but ok, glad you care more about winning than about people fucking dying.
