#Progressive left

[cayomuchacha]

sorry but the whole “push harris left when shes elected” thing is not. Working. especially because um. A democrat is the president. So what exactly do you want from us dissenting vote-witholders except complete obeisance to status quo continuation…. Like am i not allowed to ask for the overton window on polices to shift leftwards until AFTER you lock in my vote in november???? please don’t take me for a fool, i LITERALLY just did this with biden 4 years ago. And he remains ironclad supporting a genocidal terror regime, AND has UN ambassador vote NO on UN recognition of Palestinian statehood, AND has continually relisted Cuba on the terrorist list…while opening commerce with cuban entrepeneurs. Cognitive dissonance is a consistent messaging from democrats and that’s no good. Either stand up for the rights of all peoples, or stand up for your gross imperial legacy. Red white and blue with the blood of innumerable innocent lives. DO SOMETHING OR YOU WONT GET MY VOTE. ITS SIMPLE. IM NOT VOTING FOR HARRIS UNTIL DEMOCRATS FORCE THEIR LEADERS TO SUPPORT SUBSTANTIAL POLICY SHIFTS TO THE LEFT. i’ll vote blue down the line tho before you berate me. But i will not vote for a president who doesn’t signal and VERBALIZE intent for real policy changes. It’s simple. I’m begging you to do something to get democrats to earn our votes.

Why do liberals hate foster kids?

As a former foster kid, I just gotta ask.

Those who boycotted missed a history lesson—Bibi chuckled at the thought that there were still educated folks who don’t know that the people of Israel are native to the land of Israel. And the members of Congress smiled back. That was the general tenor of the address and its reception; without the boycotters and their obnoxious “disrupters,” no one in the room felt pressured to pretend they were angrier or dumber than they were. It had the feel of a large family dinner from which a few teenagers rudely stomped off but everyone was happier with them gone anyway.

There was no news in the speech. There was gratitude for America and reasons given for that gratitude to be mutual—for example, the fact that Netanyahu said the Israeli soldiers in the gallery were the West’s boots on the ground in a common fight, obviating any need for Americans to send their own soldiers after the terrorists who stole their sons and daughters from them.

Nor was there anybody in the chamber who seemed particularly bothered by the talk of victory.

That seemed to be another lesson: The anger of the progressive left is contagious. Its rage plays satisfyingly to the inner totalitarian and the lazy academic alike. It is lowest-common-denominator politics. Take away the members of Congress whose every move and every word is geared toward their social-media “brand,” and you’re left with a recognizably normal and decent bunch of folks.

Amid all this, there was something genuinely pathetic about Tlaib and her very sad sign. Everyone was where they wanted to be today except her. The pro-Western lawmakers were in the chamber to receive the ecstatically pro-American prime minister of a crucial ally. The Squadniks and those who fear them were in their own comfort zone—far from the American flags and the “citadel of democracy,” as Bibi put it. The protesters were in their usual spot, soaking in the mists of misplaced rage. Only poor Rashida Tlaib sat there in abject misery listening to people say nice things about America.

No one who boycotted the speech had a good reason for doing so, but I suppose they would have looked even sillier booing hostages and pouting at moral clarity. And anyway, Rashida Tlaib can tell them what they missed.

Sooner or later, I knew since Jill Stein and Ralph Nader inserted themselves into elections, there would be Republican-favoring Billionaires funding their campaigns so that they could draw some progressive democrats away from any democratic candidate. This sucks because it's obvious that "3rd party" voters--even during this election campaign--are still adamant that "we" need to get MORE Progressive Left candidates on ballots to raise up a Progressive party that can compete with the DNC & DCCC. I mean, there are Lefties that actually believe this nonsense will work..!! "But it will take time to grow the party's strength!"....they say! Important point: There will be a dictator in the White House (not Trump necessarily) before any "3rd party" can spend $Billions on campaigns to elect Progressives... Do they not see the futility of fighting against Billionaires??? It'll NEVER happen...at least before I pass away and I'm 75yrs old now and have been Progressive LEFT since 1969!!

Defending Religious Freedom: The Battle Against Secular Agendas

The First Amendment of the United States Constitution stands as a guardian of our fundamental freedoms, particularly those related to religion and the press. Understanding how it protects these freedoms is essential, especially as they face new challenges

The Title of Liberty, originally penned by Captain Moroni from the Book of Mormon, overlaid over an American Flag. by Brent Borup The Progressive Left’s Abolitionist Agenda: The Destruction of Religious Freedom Have you ever wondered why the Progressive Left can sometimes feel more like a modern abolitionist movement? While the original abolitionists fought against the monstrous institution of…

really discouraging trying to engage with “moderate” (conservative) liberals.

Because if this is how they speak to me, idk if i could call it persuasion, i am saddened for the justified reactions of people far less nice than me when spoken at like i have been spoken at towards by these callous and seemingly uncaring liberals. it’s the berating chastisement. it’s just so unfriendly, unlikeable, and insufferable. i say, biden had the executive prerogative to mandate multiple stimulus checks. They say, he TRIED! I say he didn’t try hard enough for my liking. They say there’s WORSE.

😩 it’s the circlular conversation of torture liberal democrats led by biden clinton pelosi etc have kept minority dissenting voices on loop with their amorphous moral goalpoasts.

Democrats in government keep my island Cuba on the terrorist list for evil, imperialist reasons. He upholds through verbal inaction the illegal sanctions placed on Cuba by US law. He doesn’t even speak against it. Democrats in government keep Palestine from having state representation at the United Nations for evil, imperialist reasons. Democrats in government supply with IRONCLAD SUPPORT the WEAPONS USED BY A GENOCIDAL ROGUE STATE. I WON’T PUT DEMOCRATS IN OFFICE AGAIN UNTIL DEMOCRATS RESOLVE THE GLARING ISSUES BROUGHT FORTH TO THEM BY DISSENTING VOICES OF VULNERABLE MINORITY CONSTITUENTS OF THEIR OWN COUNTRY WHO THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO REPRESENT.

Sanders: "We’re here in so-called conservative Utah, and tomorrow we’ll be in Idaho—because we believe that in every state in this country, people are prepared to stand up and fight back"

Democrat Hero, Hannah C. Dugan, The Judge Who Aided and Abetted a Illegal Immigrant Who Committed Domestic Violence, Has Been Suspended as a Judge.

And here's the illegal immigrant who she threw her life away to "help" lol

And here's what he was in Hannah Dugan's courtroom for.

This is what Democrats defend. Absolutely disgusting.

[vigilskept]

this whole idea in both the fandom and the games themselves that being a people attached to their past & a lost civilization is a failing whereas a celebration of the present is something to strive for wrt elven & dwarven culture is something that reads as fundamentally western & liberal to me.

It’s not lost on me that Bernie Sanders is the only mainstream politician touring the country rn listening to Americans’ concerns, giving them hope that a better world is still possible. Not campaigning for President, not an election year, just inspiring swing town voters to use their power to incite change in their communities.

Bernie is 83yo, doing the work that every single Democrat could be doing simply in their own district. He’s packing overflow rooms by the thousands in suburban and rural towns, not “democratic strongholds”. It is possible to get through the next four years but the status quo Dems aren’t going to make that happen.

Imagine what a true progressive party could do for the US. Leftist policy is popular and wins elections. Bernie and others have told us this for decades. If you tuned out his message before, I have to wonder what side you’re truly on. Because his shtick has not wavered with everyday Americans.

Not me, us.
