    AOC and Bernie stopped in my red state. I went and saw more than half the license plates were from out of state. Those that were from my state were from the one blue county.

    We recently had an election between an establishment Republican and a progressive and the progressive lost by a landslide.

    Don’t lie to yourself. AOC and Bernie have fans that will travel to see them from other states.

    Democrats are trying to stop progressives from throwing the election like they have every time they win a primary.

    Progressives can’t even beat other candidates that get funded by AIPAC let alone beat republicans.

      LOL, did you happen to see Joe Biden’s dementia on full public display last summer?

      They are not trying to stop anyone from throwing an election, or they wouldn’t have let Joe Biden crown a weak candidate.

      Democrats are rigging primaries to help the billionaire class, and doing so in full knowledge that they’re aiding fascists, because they themselves are profiting off of it.

        Voters were very clear that they would consider it a betrayal to primary instead of replacing Biden with the Vice President since that is the job of a vice president.

        Trump says way more crazy shit than Biden and he won. Matter of fact Trump lost by a lot in 2020, if he were to follow the same strategy as leftists he would’ve quit before trying again in 2024.

        All politicians and forms of government are susceptible to corruption. Just look at Fetterman and Sinema. Just because someone claims to be progressive doesn’t mean they won’t help the billionaire class or fascists.

          No, they weren’t. There wasn’t a primary.

          Trump says way more crazy shit than Biden and he won.

          Apples to oranges. You saw Biden’s meltdown and I did too.

          All politicians and forms of government are susceptible to corruption. Just look at Fetterman and Sinema. Just because someone claims to be progressive doesn’t mean they won’t help the billionaire class or fascists.

          A salient point. The Democrats’ next campaign slogan should be: Better things aren’t possible if you vote for us.
