You’re not one. Why do you care?

Pragmatic progressives — armed with bread-and-butter proposals to improve the lives of ordinary Americans and an upbeat message of hope — are the future of the Democratic Party. This is a good thing. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/bread-and-butter-and-hope

whats your upper limit? i think 65-70 is a good range
8/35
totallyblue.bsky.social
The last term year would be the year you turn 70. So back track from there to run
67 for congress
63 for senate
65 for president
59 for SCOTUS -10 year term limit
Create an advisory cabinet for aged out representatives to provide guidance/history to younger members. Paid $1/year w/o tangible power

Somebody should clue in Schumer, Gillibrand, Jeffries and Richie Torres...all are on the AIPAC train and favor the dusty old timers and no real change at all.
AOC, Mamdani, Raskin and Murphy are the future.
And Bernie, always Bernie.

100% the future of the party, but more so the future of our country. I’m sick to death of ghoulish republicans pushing their unpopular, despicable laws on us when there are only about 20-25% of the population wants their policies. End the electoral college and stop gerrymandering mandating!!!

Only 33 percent of voters hold a favorable view of Democrats, with a meager 8 percent holding a “very favorable” opinion, for a net negative favorability of 30 percentage points.
13/35
cecivrai.bsky.social
That is due to 2 distinct & diametrically opposed views. 1 part of that 70% is Republicans & anti-Democrat voters; the other part is ppl who want a demonstrably left wing—not 1/2 measures—economically responsive party that’s willing to go further than a Schumer, Warner, or Fetterman (
) Democrat.

Maybe if you don’t live in a city you don’t see the value in making resources needed for survival like food, hygiene, & cleaning supplies available in a way that’s not extremely inflated. I do.

I've always been what I considered a moderate left; I always appreciated the progressives because they always had the best new ideas. For me the downside was some of them were extremely radical, so I thought they hurt their own cause. AOC has changed my mind. She has matured & become our next step.

The thing about those "radical" ideas is that so many of them had their birth in the New Deal, or in reconstruction Europe after WW2. Things like universal healthcare, childcare, paid family leave, even clean energy, aren't new or radical ideas. We've just been told we don't deserve them.

We also need to learn to be mean. Be more aggressive. Name calling, bullying and outing their fascist policies. Mamdani is not letting New Yorkers forget about Cuomo’s past. Attack! attack! Be angry.

Agree, but also, let's remember that we did not elect Representatives to be loud-talking, media-savvy obstructionists and rebel opposition.
We elected them to legislate like sensible, competent administrators and professionals. In the before times.

Biden had to clean up trump's mess ,

It may not have been this way always, but it has been in modern times.

It's directly responsible for where we are today as a country. No, absolutely not. We need a damn battering ram of straight up massive Socialist & progressive policies. This country has been dragged so far to the right that we are literally living in a fascist country. Pragmatism gave us that. /end

I'd vote for him, He makes some solid points
2020 and 2024 was undeniably bad decisions, anyone could have beat trump in 2020 we picked a badly aging 78 year old because the establishment pushed him to the front

when people were saying this was bullshyt as it was happening, they got slandered crazy
More clout acquired for the person some are calling the most handsome governor
Yall nominee of choice better get off the couch and take the mic from him or else yall will be recycling posts in 2028 about how problematic he is and people should vote their conscious with trump 3.0 or Vance on the ballot
exactly. Either your ideas play or they don't. He's crutching it on these non-competitive seats. So he can milk the grievance leftists who think every race they don't get enough votes was stolen from them. fukk outta here man.
Capitalism has literally eroded since the civil rights era
. Unchecked Capitalism only worked when blacks didn’t have rights. These uncle tom centrist negro post piss me off cause you can tell they just be repeating bull shyt they heard from some wealthy white man
