I agree. I don't think the actual silent majority thinks "that guy's too far right" or "that lady's too far left," they ask "which one's gonna help with my problems?"

Just look at all the special elections earlier in the year that flipped seats. They're definitely scared we're waking up

We need a Left version of the Tea Party

Asking honestly... how do we do this?

I think it's already happening. People are tired of the current leadership who have proven themselves deaf to the needs of the working class. They've just been stringing people along with performativism and virtue signaling, but people have definitely woken up to that in recent years.

Also, establishment Dems' catastrophic failures in last election followed by a series of progressive wins is a good signal. Progressives are demonstrating their electability, and that momentum will only build from here on. It will become increasingly harder for Democratic Party leadership to stifle the progressive caucus.

Also, the new DNC chairman is at least nominally progressive. We'll see how he does in two years. Till then all we can do is hope and wait and vote.

People in those red states will never vote for anyone with a 'D' next to their name, no matter how much they agree with them.

That's why perpetual whiplash is baked into the system. People get complacent when things are going good, which is when the opposition's momentum is at its strongest.

4-8 years later the other side is the one that gets complacent as their opposition gets fired up.

Rinse and repeat.

A better rule of thumb is "who are the Zionist and Billionaires funding". Personally, I really dislike Platner. But when I see literally every Zionist group funding attack campaigns it really doesn't matter anymore. It's a single election. If I was in Maine, I'd go vote against what the Zionist clearly want.

Does the chud betray us and turn into a Fetterman? Maybe. Maybe he has a stroke too. But I want Israel to stop getting bombs. I don't have to like Platner. But I am excited that a candidate that says he wants to stop weapons shipments to Israel is actually popular in a purple state like main. That is amazing. And no amount of virtue signaling will take that away from me.

I've been fighting Zionism since I was in college in 2015. Platner winning would be good for the entire movement of the left. Even if he doesn't follow through. People don't want "it's complicated centrist". You don't have to compromise. You can win elections while being against the genocidal apartheid state. That is absolutely a win.

this is good to know. billionaires can play both sides and all candidates are susceptible to being a turncoat. ultimately it's maine choice and he has more to bring to the table.

Sort of..

Has More Billionaires Prominently Backing Her

There are many unaccounted for, could just be those who are backing dems are OK with that being public vs through a PAC.

Stein literally ran at the behest of Russia as a Dem spoiler. This was pretty out in the open. Do not vote for Russian assets/agents.

It's definitely not fine to vote for an Ableist like Stein who thinks you can cure autism with crystals

Edit: apparently I have her mixed up with someone else

No, West.

How do we/ why would we appeal to people who are literally a combination of mind-bogglingly corrupt Traitors, Racists, and Pedophiles? What kind of a compromise do you cut with them? They are only allowed to do a little graft, treason, racism, and child raping? Just regulate it, to keep it at a reasonable level?

MAGA needs to be mercilessly crushed, and purged from our government and society. They don't get to contribute to the future of America. We allowed them to do that after the Civil War, and it led to this. We can't make that mistake again.

MAGAs rise and reign has been ugly, and we need to make their decline and demise even uglier, so future generations will learn harsh lessons from it.

You can, if you're appealing to the 1% of each side
