Are they?
I agree with the sentiment of your post here, but they just aren’t.

63·1 year agoMoreover, Democrats seem to have done little self-reflection over whether their aggressive push to implement their progressive values alienated more conservative Americans and contributed to their own defeat in 2024.
Fucking yiiiikes.

11·1 year agoIt reads like you’re at least as mad about them being obese as you are about everything else.
Or are you just using obese to mean bad?
Might want to work on your messaging.

Ooh that’s a new one for me.
Asserting that given any two positions, there exists a compromise between them that must be correct.

4·1 year agoDonated.
Looking back at this, apparently it was posted at 4am, so he was probably just wasted.
I also trust his “sarcastic” comment here as much as I would trust a comment that said “yeah but we would never do that”. Which is to say, not at all.
Is there another interpretation of this that isn’t sarcastic?
Does anybody actually read this and think he meant, “wow, that is a cool story?”
That said, the two ways I come up with to interpret a sarcastic comment here are:
“Sounds like bullshit. “. Which is plausible in this post facts era I suppose.
Or
“What does this have to do with us?” Which would sure help me sleep at night if I didn’t know exactly what it has to do with us, but afaik, Creepy Pete had called such a meeting for thus far unknown purposes.

No.
Didn’t say that either. It’s not proof that the party is getting more progressive. He didn’t exactly earn their full throated endorsement.
No. My “arguments” was that that one or two examples dont constitute a “proof” about any grander strategy being used.
Oh I see we’re just doing full blown straw men now.
In that case, it’s the same reason you are so upset about some shit that you didn’t say anything about.
That’s true. Virginians don’t care about free buses in New York. They’d probably have to make the campaign address Virginia.
Hard truths here in this post.
Fact is, the more progressive candidate won by 15 points. Not sure how this proves anything about what would have happened had an even more progressive candidate run.
