Biden administration dramatically softens the sanctions it imposed on the seven Israelis from the Israel Defense Forces and makes it clear that they will be able to use their bank accounts.

Nope.
Progressives held their noses and voted for Clinton, and again for Biden, and some are finally realizing as long as they vote “blue no matter who” the people running the DNC will never give a shit about them.
And while “vote in the primary” used to be common advice, NH lost their delegates for something Dems in NH have zero control over after voting progressive over party favorite against Clinton and Biden.
And lots of us live in states that don’t have primary votes before the party names their leader.
If your mad things changed, be mad at the DNC for taking away primaries.
Not voters who decided acting like Republicans the last 30 years hasn’t helped anyone
Very much disagree. It seems you’re suggesting that the fallout from another Trump presidency will lead to better long term results than a second Biden presidency?
What happens to Ukraine after you stick it to the man and support Trump? Nobody is learning the lesson you want them to. You’re supporting a dictatorship through cynicism. You can be mad at more than one group. DNC could be doing more. Biden could be doing more. Normal voters acting like helping a literal traitor back into office is the better alternative could be doing better.
Like it or not (I don’t), we are stuck with the two choices. Helping the guy who literally says he wants to be a dictator is illogical in every context. If you actually care, volunteer in local elections and donate to candidates that support your views, help create a strong next generation of progressive democrat candidates.
I’m saying:
as long as progressives vote “blue no matter who” party leaders won’t stop moving right.
Primaries have continued to be less open ever since Obama beat Clinton in 08.
Obama flipped lots of red states that general.
We all saw how effective that was. But party leaders don’t want that type of candidate. So they pulled him to the right, gave him a conservate friendly Dem as VP, and as of 2024, started cancelling Dem primaries if it’s an earlier state that votes progressive.
I don’t think they’ll ever cancel my states primary tho, in fact even when Bernie refuses to drop early the DNC always says the primary is over before my state gets to vote.
The DNC doesn’t give a single fuck about me. If they were legit trying to win and help when they get in office it would be different.
But they’re just not doing enough.
So tell me.
What’s your suggestion to make them listen to their base instead of chasing voters who have never voted D and just straight ticket vote R?
My mad things haven’t changed in four years. It can be very frustrating indeed, but under the circumstances, I’d call that a win.
And if you look at it on a longer time scale, what we’re doing isn’t working.
More damage is caused than we can fix. So we’re still moving backwards.
Like, let’s say you’re on a lifeboat in the middle of the ocean, and it springs a leak.
The fastest way to start getting the water out is bailing it out with your hands. But what if the water comes in faster?
Keep using your hands because it’s removing water? Eventually the boat sinks.
Maybe you find a bucket, but you still have to continually use it or you sink, you’ll never sleep and eventually you can’t keep up.
So, you think for a second while the boat fills with water. And you shove stuff into the hole to plug the leak. You’re still not done, because you have to bail out the water. But no more is coming in, you can do it slowly if you want.
In this analogy republicans are the leak. And bailing water out with our hands is Joe Biden.
Four years ago it was Biden, 8 years ago it was Clinton.
It’s not a viable long term strategy. And there is zero reason to think 2028 will be different if we keep continuing as normal.
So again,
I’ve thought about, for over a decade now. Ever since Obama turned out to be far less progressive than he campaigned as.
I legitimately see no long term plan with a better chance to take the party left.
Tell the class what your plan is. How do we stop the leak?
