Why is media labeling DSA as "Progressives"? They are anything but that. Pelosi is a Progressive as are many other actual Democrats. Call the social democrats what they are. They are the SD. They want to tear the Progressives down from everything I hear them say.

What happens in NYC doesn’t reflect national elections-people who consider themselves Democrats might vote for a Progressive (roughly 1/3 of Dems) but most Independents have shown they’d rather vote GOP than for a Progressive. Progressives really should splinter of so reality is clearer to them

This. Chicago voted big in 2023 for DSA. Mayor Johnson rating is in the 20s. He will lose in 2027. DSA policies are not good on a local level - spend $ city doesn’t have. Of course on natl level, that this refers to, could be different. But Chicagoans have largely rejected DSA platforms.

I think it's great that deep blue voters picked the reps they want. But for me, there is such a thing as poor winners. "Establishment" Dems passed ACA. And infrastructure. Experience and wisdom go hand in hand. $hit posting on social media doesn't get much done for voters. Time will tell.

Not too hard to endorse when you know what to expect from demographics. Amused that the white wealthy pushed one of @mayor.nyc.gov picks over the finish line So much for the working class schtick🙄 Would be more impressed if @mayor.nyc.gov had endorsed a winner in 12. bsky.app/profile/blue...

@chrislhayes.bsky.social @mayor.nyc.gov Your narrative vs truth Espaillat won the Bronx by 28 points winning Black/Hispanic & lower-income voters. Chevalier dominated Manhattan by 8 points & gained ground in higher-income areas. Younger, high-income left leaning white voters secured her win.

I dont think he needs to really worry about it much. Hes old enough he needs to let go and let the people growing up into this shitshow take the lead and mold the future.

Democrats are calling for the Nordic model, which prioritizes healthcare, education and a strong social safety net ahead of corporations and oligarchs. People come first. Look at Sweden, Norway and Denmark. The Nordic model is far preferable to crony capitalism where the

Yeah, I don't find it particularly surprising that the political operative who helped bring the DLC to power is upset that candidates with FDR-type ideas are winning primaries.

Thanks for your input, grandpa. Now, go back to your retirement and dream of how great things were back in the old days. The rest of us will move forward to tomorrow: Universal healthcare. Tax the fucking rich. Repeal Citizens' United. Eliminate the Electoral College.

In the late 1960's, my parents, in their early to mid 20's, bought their first home. In 2026, this isn't happening. Starter homes where I live are nearly half a million dollars. Crazy stuff.

WTF are all these people about when I went to school I was taught congress was for all the different people voted for like minded people to send a representative to speak for them that is why for 250 years Iowa was not like NY or CAL now that NY has a little different flavor evey one went bat shi

The Democratic Party of 30 years ago, the go along to get along method, the don't fight fire with fire , the Europe and Canada are bad days are over. The rest of the west has figured out how to provide healthcare and daycare for all. Night night Jimmie.

90% of life of dealing with the fallout of White people facing their mortality. There are tantrums. There is anger. There is bluster. All because time moves on. And they fear that more than anything.

New idea, every time he texts me I'll text back a link to a gofundme for "traditional dems, help us regain the house". And if anybody bites, I'll actually route the money to progressive candidates and cut out the actblue middle step. I don't have to worry about doing anything, he wont donate.

Dem socialist cands won big in Chicago in 2023. DSA Mayor Johnson’s approval rating is currently in the 20s - he’ll lose in 2027. Many DSA Alders will lose in 2027 as well. Alder Vasquez (40) no longer caucus w/ DSA - smart man. DSA policy in Chgo is to spend a bunch of $ the city doesn’t have. Js

I think this more about a group of people who are losing control and influence in Dem politics so they’re just fine abandoning it. It was never about making the world a better place for them. It was about power.

Oh, fuck him. We have to look forward. I am a bit surprised about Dan Goldman losing his seat. I think he is so smart, but I live in California so here, I support Laura Friedman.

He looks great on cable news but in reality Goldman has a reputation of ignoring constituents and voting with Republicans on awful crypto bills. His “tough on crime” attitude does not go over well in our very progressive neighborhoods. He’d be a better fit for a more moderate district like the NY11.

Goldman reps my district and he is a bought-and-paid-for shill for lots of different moneyed interests. Time and again he voted against the Dem caucus and would not respond to constituents. Was desperate for someone to replace him and grateful when Lander stepped up.

Good riddance, as Carville clearly does not belong in a big tent, pro-democracy party that believes ppl get to choose their elected reps; & while some groups of ppl will feel better represented by candidates we wouldn’t pick, whoever gets the majority wins. THAT’S DEMOCRACY!

Does he not see that people are gravitating toward progressive policies? He’s done, alright. This 74-year old has stopped listening to him.

I grew tired of him a very long time ago. His last successful Democrat campaign as a strategist was for Bill Clinton. 33 years ago.
