Making the DSA’s point about these centrists, who care more for their status quo position and power than their constituents.

The people will decide who represents them, not politicians.

Nobody cares what Tom Suozzi has to say. He's the Dem's Ben Sasse ... a moralist in the guise of a technocrat (with a side of grifting).

Oooh look the enablers getting all up in arms so they can keep enabling! "The dynamic is abuser (GOP) and enabler (Dems)." sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/overriding...

This is the height of sore loser behavior. It's no wonder so few do it. How would you even attack popular positions like fighting corruption, taxing the rich, affordability, etc. Democratic socialists are running household issues that are easy to digest, and it resonates with struggling people.

Way to kick yourselves in the dick, corpo dems.

I see it as monumentally foolish is to fail to consider that both political parties have been doing the same thing and lying about it, for decades and refusing to consider that one may have been bamboozled into believing the opposite of reality.

They're people who wanted to move away from FDR style policy.

WTF does that have to do with anything? I think you need help; you need to put the meth pipe down and back away slow!

Oh, so they can organize. Just not to defend democracy, protect workers, preserve women’s heath care and body autonomy, protect trans kids and people, or anything else that would get them votes from most Americans.

The pretty obvious follow up question is why haven’t they mobilized against a fascist government that has tanked the economy and caused untold Harm on citizens while destroying the country’s reputation globally (we know why but make them answer it formally)

loser shit

let's not get it twisted, these are Romney Republicans who represent purple districts and ran as Democrats to win, then govern like Republicans. Vote every single one of them out, I'd rather they flip to GOP then allow these Dems to remain in the party and continue to pull the party to the right.

"Swing district democrats are gearing up because they fear that elections in NYC will scare their constituents."

The Von Hindenburg party

Where was this energy against Trump?

I hope they take time to stretch a little first.

"Corporate Democrats" A revealing term. If your constituency is corporations and not people, then you are not in alignment with Democratic Party voters, and you do not deserve their vote.

Oh, they’ve always been there.

more like 50 years. it started when carter threw out every single progressive proposal in the wake of Watergate (abolishing the CIA, etc.) in favor of courting the private sector, and it's been more or less constant since

I can't wait until these people start emailing me to ask for donations to fight "the enemy within".

I mean, anyone who thinks “capitalism!” is a winning issue deserves to lose.

Buhbye.

Blue dog yard droppings.

You can support all of those things from the left of Trump who confiscates shares of private companies and uses brutal secret police rather than opposing people on your side of the aisle.

Lol this sounds like Reaganism

@goodlander.house.gov needs to switch parties

I want candidates that support decapitation, tax enforcement, and fiscal redistribution.

Currently I'm between jobs so luckily I can spend all day doing the jack off motion in response to these feckless fucks.

But a huge portion of the donor base. They don’t know how to get votes, only donations.

Bynum (OR5) just won her May primary against a DSA opponent 82.46% to 17.54%. Seems she’s appealing to a pretty fat slice of her electorate.

Social Democracy has Capitalism. See Canada.

“To push back against recent victories…” lol they’re so used to being losers it’s fucking pathological at this point…

We already have a Republican party

Poopoo, doodoo, and peepee

they can fuck right off. primary

I was a supporter of DSA for a long time. The issues they long supported were, and are, my issues. But now? They’ve become QAnon, replacing the word "pedophile" for the word "zionist." They’re no longer a progressive group, they’re just the new face of racism.

So the Republican party of the '80s got it

So, no new policies from the Right-wing Democratic party, eh? Well, no surprise there, they've been moving right-ward since the mid-70s.

"...support for capitalism, law enforcement, and fiscal discipline." OMG if that's what's important just vote Republican already! They do that AND a bunch of other stuff centrists probably like.

It isn't to "push back against recent victories by democratic socialists." They're doing their part to sink the Democratic party right before mid-terms that the Democratic party is expected to sweep. They're literally trying to ruin a blue wave.

Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet! Make a little birdhouse in your soul

Red-hat democrats!

Yeah I was gonna say, I was with the quote until we got to having “no ideology.” There’s ideology there for sure, and it’s ugly AF

Nuance for what issues?

Blue MAGA

And to cave in to all of the GOP demands and call it “compromising”.

Fucking loser behavior

100% correct

My first thought....

Why don’t people like us? Let’s explain why they should like us in a 110-page PDF about how nothing should change. That should do it.

Without even looking I can tell that my rep (MGP) is on here. I cannot wait to vote her out.

They can just join the Republicans and spare us their lies.

Glad to easily see which Democrats are really Republicans.

Oh my god the "better things aren't possible" tweet actually happened

There is no such thing as fiscal discipline in Congress there is only spending priorities based on principles. If capitalism is what is today, the system needs major reforms to benefit the many, there is general support for LE and then there are case by case evaluations.

You misspelled "fascist". Fascist Democrats renewed their open commitment to fascism.

you know what will convince people we aren't Republicans? a 1994 Newt Gingrich callback

15 cultists sacrifice your children to appease the God of Money.

I appreciate that "centrist Dems" are volunteering who needs to be primaries.

Who are the 15 Dems?

Still no word how they plan to fight back against the rollback on Roe v Wade during Biden's term. Law Enforcement is helping ICE put American citizens in camps, and helping them get away with shooting people.

It's not that they actually believe in what they're promoting, it's just that they're unable to fight back against anything except their own party.

Glad to see that my favorite senators did not sign.

So doing work for Republicans.

They are immensely wealthy, bought by lobbyists and do not care a fuck for “ordinary” folk.

Go down the thread to cactusadan

So ... Republicans. Gotcha.

Stay in the buggy there folks. They’re trying to be helpful. They just want to make it plain to the rest of us that they REALLY don’t get it. At all.

fuckers

extremely cringe

"a LiTtLe LiGhT fAsCiSm"

Aren't these the same people who were saying "Vote Blue no matter who" just two years ago?

So Republican = fascists Democrat = Republican Democratic Socialists = the future

Meanwhile Mamdani balances NYC’s budget.

Jesus Christ lmao

Sounds like Fascism to me.

This is literally 90s Era Republican bullshit. This isn't Democrat at all!

So, they are republicans

They are bloody idiots. They keep trying to play fair against a team that will throw sand in your face then kick you in the teeth.

Of the 10 who are sitting representatives, six are in districts that voted for trump. Two are black, one is hispanic.

PAUL BARRINGER NC-13 (Candidate) MAGGIE GOODLANDER NH-02 JANELLE BYNUM OR-05 VICENTE GONZALEZ TX-34 SUSIE LEE NV-03 Note: Interesting that 5 of these 15 signatories aren’t actually congresspersons yet, just candidates.

So they announced their Republican platform…

sounds like the shit republicans ran on before Trump

It's been a long term strategy to make the center-left seem like the far left so that only center right candidates would have a chance to win. This type of thing shows how much progress they've made.

If The Powers That Be in Democratic Leadership and the Party Consultants that serve them think these are winning messages, they deserve to be primaried out of existence everywhere. Not only are these themes impotent, they’re outright proof these people don’t listen or pay attention.

Breaking news! Democrats announce their overwhelming support for Fascism! More at 11, now on to you Dave!

Fiscal discipline is just slavery with extra steps.

I wonder if Regan is available to run. Oh

They’re not Democrats. Fkn embarrassing.

This is how you lose.

The beautiful thing about institutional "centrist" democrats is that they are wimps, pushovers and mostly aging clowns who will never be able to get anything done.

Dorks.

"15 centrists admit they are in fact republicans" There fixed it for you

Soooo, they are Republicans then. They have a funny way of setting themselves up as being an alternative to, "the staus quo" by firmly stating they support it.

To be a centrist means you’re only kinda fascist.

And to fund ICE! And to support genocide! And to work with rapist felon presidents! And of course to lose elections to rapist felon presidents! Fuck them.

15 wankers

Did Susan Collins write their script? FFS. Just what we need - more empty crap from spineless Dems.

*15 Republicans who cant call themselves that because they wont get elected in their district.

"Fiscal disipline" = Trickledown economics. YOU get poorer while the rich get richer. Don't rock the boat. Know your place. Vote accordingly. These fucking people...

Names?

So….they’re Republicans. Just like we said. Yeet all their clueless billionaire-ball-licking asses into the fucking sun.

My god, these people are on a mission to destroy satire itself 😅

I bet they all held their primaries already

So they’re going full Newt “Contract with America” Gingrich? Sounds about right.

Wish they fought the literal fascists as hard as they fight @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social c.org/pgKvZm5Tn9

ie: Trump supporters.

The Vichy center always sounds so pathetic when they build their dumb straw-men, but I'd still rather have them in congress than any Republican.
