Liberal Content Creators Are Unoriginal?! #maga #trump #progressives
Jack C.MI said it before, and I'll say it again: Pride Month 🏳️🌈 is 2 months and 4 days away. And I don't want to see #Democrats, #liberals, #progressives, or #leftists with rainbow flags talking about how you're an "Ally". No you are fucking not. 2019-2020 and 2025 to now, I've watched y'all go mask off.
AnneTheWriterOkay. But we still need to overturn #CitizensUnited and take away the ABILITY for billionaires to donate large amounts in the first place.
That needs to be the primary goal. And I don't think most politicians-- in either party, including #EstablishmentDemocrats -- will ever be willing to do so.
Backing politicians because they push back a bit against #IncomeDisparity is fine; but by itself, it is merely a small temporary victory, and is doomed to be a neverending uphill battle.

Interesting ideas for #progressives on #policy -
"a. only push policies that are directly connected to reducing the #risk of #climate impacts (either directly or on people)
b. only promise outcomes that policy is actually capable of delivering"

Interesting ideas for #progressives on #policy -
"only push policies that are directly connected to reducing the #risk of #climate impacts (either directly or on people)
• only promise outcomes that policy is actually capable of delivering
• fit adaptation to the wider promise that progressives are offering the public
• ensure #mitigation policy has an #adaptation angle and vice versa."
דער קערפער פֿון השם"Discourse about #antisemitism in #America has become a hopeless, meaningless mess. Particularly in the last few years, pro-#Israel and #rightwing organizations and politicians have insisted that anti-#Zionism is a form of antisemitism, minimized the threat on the right while exaggerating the threat on the #left, used the charge of antisemitism to deflect legitimate criticism of #Israeli actions, and weaponized #Jewish fears in their #kulturkampf against higher education, the press, and #progressive activists of all kinds.
It is thus understandable that #progressives’ reflexive response to accusations of antisemitism is to dismiss them. But to do so would be a mistake. Antisemitism does exist on the left; ask any Jewish person active in progressive spaces. Moreover, the failure to condemn and root out real antisemitism enables #nationalists, #racists, and #fascists to defame and delegitimize progressive movements. It is also a betrayal of progressive values."

Linux Is BestWhy is Democracy failing in the United States?" If it is not progressive, it will be conservative. "I have been saying this for years because I understand that the voting mentality, wants, and needs of the population have changed. To spell it out: if you're a wishy-washy moderate, you're unelectable — only people who focus on politics instead of people believe otherwise.
The Governor of California, Gavin Newsom, is one of those wishy-washy moderates — or, as I call them, corporate conservative Democrats. This is the man, for example, who wants to add age verification in every OS (operating system), including Linux. That is not the only problem with him, but it is the most recent one I can recall. The point is, he is not a progressive, and he is not going to win reelection.
Many people don't vote anymore. I do, I assume you do, and perhaps many people on the Fediverse do — but many don't. My sister and her husband, for example, don’t. I sometimes question the value of doing so if the end result is the same. Yes, I said the same — and we can argue about the differences, because there are differences — but at the end of the day, we still end up in the same place we don’t want to go. The only difference is whether we get there fast or slow.
MAGA is simply awful — there is no denying that — but they are giving their supporters exactly what they want. Meanwhile, you have a wishy-washy moderate who will work with these people while claiming unity is more important than change or accountability. So ultimately, we go down that same path by different means, and that’s the path we want to avoid.
People argue that we have to block that awful outcome — but block what? We're still going there. These people will compromise with Nazi pedophiles and tell us it is for the good of the country. And so many people no longer feel enthusiastic or motivated to support any of this.
And we know “next time” is a lie that never comes. It’s what they told my grandpa his whole life, and he passed away at 103 years old waiting for that make-believe “next time.” My parents are in their 70s and late 60s, I’m in my 40s, most people's kids are in their 20s, and the next generation to come is being told the same lie. We’ve all caught on by now.
We need someone who truly is one of us and represents the will of the people. The will of the people is both conservative and progressive at this time in history. Conservatives are being told they can have exactly what they want — when they want it, how they want it — and those corporate conservative Democrats, who are not progressive, will give it to them because they claim unity is more important than change and accountability.
If it is not progressive, it will be conservative. I guarantee it.

Stephen Hayes#Progressives lost in #Illinois, because we cannot fucking get out of our own way.
#Vote splitting only hands the victory to your enemies, dumb asses.
Beware of "progressives" who are either too ego driven to humbly quit when required to, or who are actually paid infiltrators for the other side.
