You're not wrong but they are examples of untrustworthy and corrupt politicians.

Don't get me wrong, I love AOC and Bernie. We still need 60 votes to get bills passed so we need the R votes. I just want the focus on economy and our land. If they start emphasizing identity politics again we are doomed to have the pendulum swing the other way come 2028.

    And there you go. Word for word. The real engine that powers 'centrists.' Doesn't take much to goad it out of them.

    Just another 'enlightened' rage scroller addict who thinks the trans are taking over and are going to ruin their stupid sport ball game that they've never played or watch.

    It's just bigotry. The same brain state of people who "I got nothing against the blacks, but they bring on themselves by being so loud and confrontational."

    I honestly don't care about it. That topic of discussion was initially forced down society's throat by the far left. Meanwhile, most of us want to improve the typical life necessities to live a decent life.

    Your attempt to reframe me is actually ironic because it's you has has a exposed nerve over it all.

    You do realize having leadership that "works across the aisle" is exactly why we had a focus on identity politics right? It's was platitudes instead of policy, it was effective at sowing division so that democrats didn't need to do anything and still take the same money from billionaires and PACs that republicans do. Jeffries and Schumer both take AIPAC, oil, and healthcare insurance lobbying money. They have no incentive to hold anyone to account and make things better for the people. If they did, they'd lose their funding.

    You can't work across the aisle with fascist capitalists. That's how you get identity politics aimed at stalling and dividing people rather than delivering for them. It's effective at taking the steam out of real, people first movements.

    We have more in common than we don't. Whether MAGA likes it or not, we're going to give them healthcare, education, job protection, paid time off by law, and more.

    Oh yeah man just keep making your most active political activist bloc homeless and poor by not addressing the harm Trump did. You'll complain about us the whole time but never sit down, shut up, and solve the issue. The pipe IS leaking on social issues and it's not YOUR economy only, cis cracker.
