We need to make “Vote Harder or Fuck You” shirts.
Or maybe “I Vote as Hard as I Fuck.” Does that work? Just brainstorming here.
We also need "I'm in #KHive. Do I look like a mufuckin' Karen?" shirts.
Definitely need "Bernie is why we're here" shirts as well.

The paradigm is not "old vs new politics" between progressives and Democrats. That's not the appropriate dichotomy. It's "effective vs. performative." For all the criticism of incremental progress I don't see any progress from progressives. It's all esoteric praise for "fighting"
Or it's blame-shifting. Or taking all the credit while refusing to take none of the blame. I see that too much from certain progressives. Everything is everybody's fault except theirs. That's something to consider when considering the nature of their criticism.
For example progressives blamed liberals and Obama for the overturning of Roe. They blamed him for not forcing RBG to retire (as if McConnell would've allowed him to fill the seat anyway) and then they cherrypicked a comment from a random press conference

People will tell you "if you can't criticize Dems are you in a party or are you in a cult?" You know #BlueMAGA and all that

But mufucka you've been doing this sh*t for six years. Every got damn thing they do it's not enough or you hate it

Think this is as more than "criticism."
You was mad over ice cream.

Then you were mad over Kente cloths. Which the Congressional Black Caucus asked them to wear.

Starting a random music thread because today has been a lot. The infighting against certain progressives and voices on the left along with Republicans trying to subvert our democracy has us burning both ends of the candle. Let's chill with some good tunes

Go to deep cut.

The only thing I hate about AOC is her attempts to sabotage and sandbag the party. All her other extracurricular stuff doesn't bother me. It's the fact she's trying to force Bernie's platform down the throat of a party that doesn't want it. She's just doing it in a subtle way.
And I've lost many followers for that. Many people think she's the best thing that hit politics in a long time. I can't see it. And I can't look past that. I don't care how smart or how savvy she is on social media. She's an interloper.
I say this because she positioned herself as some political consultant to the party and the President. This is not a role she's qualified to be in. She's also pretty resistant to learning from more experienced politicians. And that's a big red flag for me.

Since we're talking about @Jerone4Congress and his pretty hilariously stupid ad about defending himself from "Democrats in Klan hoods" I'll just point out the KKK endorsed Trump for President.

reuters.com/article/us-usa…
The KKK's former leader endorsed him again in 2020 and everybody's favorite white nationalist Tucker Carlson for VP.

independent.co.uk/news/world/ame…
And a 4th generation Klansmen, Republican and Trump supporter just tried to run in Georgia.

The party should always be evolving and it is. It is filled with smart women, Black folks, LGBTQIA. People willing to work. The party is not perfect but it does not need to bend to the will of disaffected Bernie supporters. And that’s what this fight is really about.
This not about “fight” or a “plan” or “meeting the moment” or none of that shit. This is about a calculated effort to take over a party that rejected them. It’s happening on multiple fronts and either you get that or you don’t. Either you see it or you won’t.
I do not want a "fighter." I don't want politicians always on Twitter "fighting" about something. I want workers. People willing to put in the time and sweat equity. Don't tell me your plans. Get in there and work for them. Show me your history of turning your plans into action.
