Furious Democrats are pushing “Squad” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) to primary Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) after he agreed to vote with Republicans to avoid a government shutdown, according to reports.
I would like to vote for a Progressive party. Sanders and friends for every ballot.
We need this, the GOP must be destroyed by a strong Democratic party that doesn’t have the work ethic of a Uvalde cop.
Drop the word “Democratic” from that sentence and you’re correct.
AOC should keep her house seat, but they need to push someone in the senate to replace him, preferabally a vetted out one that is not a dino. DEMS need to start vetting out DINOs, or Gop that switch to D just tog et elected.
No, she has become a powerful voice, and she needs to be in the Senate. It’s long past time for that spineless weenie Schumer to GTFO. I’ve never forgiven him for the way he stabbed Al Franken in the back. His cowardice is a major reason that MAGA has grown so strong. If he wont go on his own, she should throw him out in the embarrassing and humiliating fashion that he has earned.
I would have been more excited about this if she hadn’t carried water for Biden and Harris allowing a genocide at the Harris convention.
There was a genocide at the Harris convention?!
Sounds like a good plan to me. AOC needs to head the DNC.
Or the DNC needs to be thrown to the wolves.
Fuck that…AOC and the rest of the progressives need to make their own party. The Ds are done.
Not going to happen. You need to take over the Democratic Party with progressives, same way the fascists took over the Republican party
more like co-opted the gop, they still have thier funding sources. i suspect progressive wont get the same funding from donors the grand ole democrats would.
The only thing you need to remember is that political parties, by law, cannot restrict candidates from running under that party banner. Superdelegates are how the Democratic Party leadership attempts to skirt this and put its thumb on the scale, but after the Clinton-Sanders debacle, their power was diminished.
An ideological takeover of the party is possible. It just requires progressive candidates to get elected.
Nah, fuck that IMO, even the name itself is beyond saving
A new actually progressive party that brings about a new system is the ideal path forward at this point if the goal is to meet the needs of the people and actually give everyone a chance, that’s my current opinion on the topic from my current perspective (saying this because things are changing quick so idk WTF is going to happen in reality)
Never going to happen until most of all states have ranked choice or star voting. First past the post is basically designed for only 2 parties.
As long as the US uses a first-past-the-post system, third parties will not be viable. The only REAL way to go forward is to take over the Democratic party and push it left. We’ll see how it goes…
As a left libertarian who has actually voted libertarian before, yeah, third parties are fucking cooked in this county.
