    Lmao you think Bernie Sanders, AOC or Ilhan Omar are representative of the democratic party? Sanders was quite famously fucked by the party (twice), and Ilhan Omar is currently getting fucked, too. AOC is only barely more friendly with the party, but not until after she walked back her open support for Palestinan liberation and did a livestream with a Zionist AIPAC rep to explain why Israel has a right to defend itself.

    The democratic party relies on the support of capitalist and reactionary interests. It’s why they fund primary challenges to progressive congressmen and their extremist reactionary opponents. They’re happy to include progressives in their caucus as long as they maintain their ability to govern with a center-right lean.

      I’m just not going to dismiss the entire fucking democratic party under a shallow judgement of specific actions taken by specific people

      Pretty simple, and should be a familiar sentiment you should hold if you’re actually progressive, ironically.
