    … but it bugs me that they call #US #progressives ”populists”, even themselves, it seems. It carries a strong negative connotation for me: You promise shit and won’t deliver. Like #Trump, or perussuomalaiset here in Finland. Or/and exploit people’s fears to gain power for power’s sake. Like #Farage – or again #perussuomalaiset.

    I don’t see true-to-the-cause #socialdemocrats as populists at all. They have delivered. In the past, at least. Why not again.

  2. The #Democratic Party is outdated and run by a bunch of retirees. They want a lot of money (their side money) from #Israel. In return, they offer 10x more in war aid to #Netanyahu paid by American taxpayers. This double-standard, double-salary party must go or the real #Liberals in this country will never be great again.

    The #progressives have a lot of unrealistic ideologies (like to control AI) that suck. But they suck less compared to the old Democratic Party.

  3. Wall Street Democrats keep admonishing Progressives to "Vote Blue no matter who!"

    Now we get to see how much they really mean it. #Democrats #DSA #Progressives #VoteBlue #VoteBlueNoMatterWho

  5. The real test of El-Sayed’s & #progressives’ strength will now come in a November matchup against #Republican #MikeRogers, a former congressman who ran unopposed for the #GOP nomination. The seat is pivotal to #Democrats’ chances of flipping the #Senate & El-Sayed will face the challenge of uniting a divided Democratic base after a bruising primary.

    In his final remarks at a #primary night party before the race was called, #AbdulElSayed said “tomorrow we begin to mend fences.”

  7. Never doubt that the formerly “Left-leaning” Guardian newspaper has been largely neutralised by UK security services & is now a platform trusted by the security state to amplify its information operations!

  9. @ChrisMayLA6 @openDemocracy @ZackPolanski The #LabourParty is clearly not going to adopt very much, if any, of the #Green #agenda, & their failure to do so will only encourage #progressives to vote #Green. It's not about @thegreenparty entering #Government, as such (except as part of a #coalition), but of #Labour being excluded from Government by its own folly.

  11. Imagine being so delusional you think there's gonna be a Jewish president nowadays 🤪

    "#Ossoff, 39, were he to run and win, would be the first #Jewish #president of the #UnitedStates, and his Jewish identity has crept into discussions about his potential candidacy.

    He has drawn comparisons to #BarackObama, who said in 2006 that he “will not” run for president, two years before he did so successfully.

    The buzz around Ossoff has largely focused on his sharp criticism of #Trump, attracting some prominent #leftwing figures. #Progressives such as Gen Z commentator #JackCocchiarella and #ZohranMamdani adviser #MorrisKatz have lauded Ossoff’s messaging.

    Left-wing streamer #HasanPiker — a harsh #Israel critic who has drawn allegations of #antisemitism — said Ossoff “will be my dark horse pick, depending on how he presents himself if he has ambitions for higher office.”

    One subject that Ossoff has largely steered clear of during his reelection campaign is Israel..."

  13. Yo, #progressives, Have you heard about Erika Uyterhoeven? She is running for Senate in Massachusetts and is #antiai campaigning on being a force for the progressive, people focused future of the #democratic party. She doesn't take corporate money, only #grassroots donations. Check her out: secure.actblue.com/donate/resp

    There will be a zoom forum and fundraiser on Monday, July 20th hosted by her election committee. Hope y'all drop in or pitch a few dollars into her campaign. Spread the word!

  15. Yes the Platner Surprise (phase 2) organised by the GOP (phase 1) is moving on to phase three of this Republican subversion, blaming democrats.

  17. @ThomHartmann

    Thanks for putting things in perspective.

    It is fascinating to see how Trump Voters and Progressives find common ground:

    - That the American Dream is slipping away.
    - Grieving, often with two incomes, the very same dead dream: reaching up to what previous generations had with one income: a middle-class life.
    - Cost of living is their single biggest economic problem
    - The system is rigged for the powerful.

  19. So, #NiravShah came pretty close to winning the June primary (if there weren't #RCV, he would have won). Though #TroyJackson would be the logical #Progressive choice. The plot thickens...

    Democrats Begin to Clash Over Who Replaces Platner Even Before He Exits

    #Progressives and #moderates are gearing up for a fight over an as-yet-undecided process in #Maine to name a Senate nominee to replace #GrahamPlatner after a rape accusation. He still wants a say, too.

    Excerpt: "A range of candidates are being discussed, with some early attention on those who ran and lost the primary for governor this year. Those Democrats include #TroyJackson, a former president of the Maine Senate; Nirav Shah, a former director of Maine’s public health agency; and #ShennaBellows, Maine’s secretary of state. But some Democrats were concerned about elevating someone who just lost.

    "Supporters of Mr. Jackson, who had backed Mr. Platner in the primary, created a Draft Troy website and he filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission for a Senate exploratory committee. Mr. Shah put out a statement that said he had received 'hundreds of encouraging messages,' adding that anyone who ran for the nomination should commit to a televised debate and 'multiple town halls across every corner of the state.'

  21. Dear fellow #progressives. If you, like I, are excited by the victories by #Mamdani #candidates in #NewYork, get out and #register as a #Democrat and vote in #primaries so we can change the #party.

  23. #Progressives lost another election and now they're complaining about the DNC. The DNC is grossly incompetent and miraculously all powerful at the same time. I feel like I've heard this one before.

    For the record you should vote for progressive #NithyaRaman in Los Angeles, she amazingly did something most progressives can't fathom, she got up off the couch and ran for office.

  24. To be this blind and repressive takes effort. Of course they can't talk bad about their donors, because as we all know the #Democrats is the party of #Schumer.

    Having their heads in their purses cost them the election and if the DNC doesn't wake up to this fact, they might lose again.

    Here's hoping the #progressives manage to aust the establishment Democrats.
