    I was a fairly big supporter of “even if they’re not perfect, vote in the Democrat so we can fix the system”, but this is a pretty egregious attack on that philosophy. If you’re willing to stand with the republican over the socialist because of Israel, then we have no reason to support you. You’ve proven you are a republican at heart.

      Liberals will literally always side with fascists over socialists, because they value capital above the working class. This has played out many times throughout history and were watching it happen in many countries currently.

      AES explicitly says that he’s not a socialist, that he’s a capitalist. Which makes this less about ‘governance ideology’.

      This is 100% because he wants US taxes to help Americans, not foreign states.

      especially since Rodgers is very proud of his anti abortion record, supports a national ban, and has actively voted against women’s rights and economic equality every chance he gets. But he’ll say going to war with Iran ISN’T hurting gas prices, so… yeah.

      Stevens is not a democrat. She lost the primary and has since been kicked out of the party.

        She exactly representative of “Democrats” outside of leftists and progressives.

        The fuck do you think happened in Mamdani campaign.

          The democratic party is deeply flawed, and has an abundance of issues. However, it doesn’t make sense to say this is a fault with that party, or to cast blame for her actions on them. She has been condemned by the party at the state and federal level, and has been kicked out of the party. So they do not condone her actions, and I don’t know that there is any way for them to be more clear about that.

              Not apologizing or excusing the party, and definitely not for Stevens. I just prefer to hold them accountable for the things they actually do. No need to make up things they didn’t do.

                My point is that the Stevens’ of the party aren’t the exception: they are the core of the party. That might be shifting but we’ve seen this across and throughout party leadership and media.

                Simply retelling what they’ve already done, how they e already been, is important because Stevens isn’t the exception: she’s the rule. She is what mainstream/ centrist Democrats are.
