I’ll start.
It’s tragic how many terrible things that President “Smokin’ Diamond” Joe Biden has had to allow to pass because there simply isn’t enough of a majority to overcome GOP opposition to everything. If only there were some common-sense bills could be passed, with bipartisan support, then maybe we could remember that this country is already great, mend the divide, and get back on track.

(FUCK. That hurt to write, including the “the entire world is Burgerland” presumptive delivery. I need a shower.) 
This primary season it’s critical to ensure that any candidate you vote for is pro-NATO.
Some of the more tankie members of the progressive caucus may not be openly pro-NATO, so make sure you do your research in case you need to vote for a real American in these districts.
Remember that it’s critical to criticize, but don’t call for reform of, the Supreme Court.
If we lose ourselves to radical positions like court expansion imagine if it’s ever used against us in the future.
I myself am looking forward to some scathing dissents
The only thing that shines brighter than KBJ’s dissents is the institution that makes them possible.
The only way to defeat fascism is at the ballot box. Republicans won’t be able to sustain this long term, so long as we don’t push for radical progressive policies (like healthcare entitlements or climate reform) we won’t lose the critical white suburban voters who delivered us Joe Biden in 2020.
The most important thing we can do is to remind true-blooded Americans that no one slowed the rate of middle and lower class spending power decline as quickly as Joe Biden. (Sanity side note- if you’re ever in a position where you’re forced to use the second derivative of spending power as a talking point it’s already over)
It’s time to highlight leaders cut from the same cloth. It’s time to rally behind Buttigieg 2028.
I think it’s critical for progressives to join DSA in order to organize and push back against tankies in their ranks.
As a progressive, it disgusts me to see how many Bernie bros didn’t elevate Hillary in the Midwest.
Many people say campaigns are a marathon, not a sprint, but really it’s a relay race and we should have picked up the baton and brought her over the finish line there by knocking on every door in the region.
I am in awe. You might singlehandedly encourage Tommy to stop needing drinky.
Pod can’t Save America, but we can.
You’re giving me HIGH HIGH HOPES

I cannot in good conscience vote for Die Linke because of their anti-NATO stance. They need to kick out the Stasi Opas if they want my vote.
I’m as left as they come. Hell, I would’ve voted for Bernie in the primaries a third time if I could.
I’m still in line to vote for Hillary! I’m still in line! God must smite me personally if he wants me out of this line! I’ve been in line for seven diddly-darn years and come hell or high water, I won’t leave 'til my vote is processed!
I’m as left as they come, but I don’t think focusing on trans issues is worth it for any progressive politician. Trans people are only a small percentage of the population, so most people won’t care their problems and they can’t form a large voting bloc.
And honestly, most people are alienated by the extreme actions of trans activists. There’s more nuance to this issue that can’t be condensed into a simple slogan like ”trans rights are human rights”. J.K. Rowling has had some valid points, but has been unfairly silenced by the trans rights mob. Sure, last week she may have retweeted some anti-trans opinions by that guy who had a Nazi flag banner and the 14 words in his bio, but we all make mistakes.
I’ve seen enough sensationalized, cherry-picked headlines to know that there’s a real problem with offering ”gender-affirming care” to children. I also learned about the issue from a YouTuber who looks at it from a woman’s rights perspective; I know some of you are already wanting to childishly slander her by saying she’s a TERF, but you should really check out her videos. Here’s the channel:
Nazis are horrible people but you shouldn’t encourage violence against them. That’s not how you change their mind. If you celebrate the police assaulting right-wingers at J6, you’re just a fascist.

I’m a big fucking dork 🤓
Police should be allowed at pride, leather daddies not so much. As a cishet ally it is my job to maintain the tone of queer groups so they don’t come across as weird to the homophobes.
J.K. Rowling’s abuse at the hands of trans activists is another such thing that I object to, sure she’s been campaigning against the rights of trans people, and sure her supporters are violent bigots including members of the EDL but we have to be civil about these things.
Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t want Desantis to win the presidency, but at least he’s not as bad as Trump, so I think that us democrats should throw our weight behind him to make the republicans respectable again 😇
Happy Veterans Day! Happy Memorial day! Happy Independence day! Happy Presidents day!
Never forget

“No one is saying defund the police, what we’re actually saying is give them more money so they can be trained better”
“It’s okay for a woman to just want to be a housewife with no financial independence or plan b if her husband leaves her with 5 kids. I am going to ignore all the laws being passed trying to erase the right to an abortion and act like this is a controversial take”
“You’re right, “reverse racism” doesn’t exist. Because it’s just racism and it isn’t acceptable just because its against white people”
“I dont support police brutality but he was literally running away! The cops were afraid for their life!”
Sorry I don’t have time for this, I’m too busy hanging a portrait of Jack Smith next to my portraits of Hillary Clinton and Robert Mueller and listening to Rachel Maddow’s Podcast.
I can’t wait to get a Funko Pop of that American hero (I can also pray to the Flying Spaghetti Monster for a LEGO set of the same because I’ve been a good boy this year) and take a selfie next to it while sipping from my conservative tears coffee mug.

(FUCK, that also hurt.)
Take Five Seconds response, all right.
i’m lazy
Hey Lemmy, how can we stop the radical left like bernie bros and antifa from ruining our hopes of stopping moderates from voting for ron desantis?
Biden’s got my vote if he announces AOC as his running mate.
Trying to get fascists to lose their jobs and be out of power is bad. Losing an income source is evil.
/uj - I think I went too far.
Poor people in flyover country deserve to suffer because they voted in the GOP.
