21·2 days agoAnd you can make the claim that we should put off things that would actually improve peoples lives, for years.
One path takes Dʻs to a W in 2028. The other doesnt.
Like fucking clockwork, and in real time, Jamaal Bowman makes my point for me:
For a couple hundred dollars a MONTH we cut child poverty in HALF. And we could have done that FOREVER, if Biden wouldnt have worked to kill their own bill, in favor of more technocratic solutions like you are arguing for. So nah. No.

21·2 days agoNo, you are NOT fucking right and you aren’t addressing my principal point. UBI or any other thing that outs money into people’s hands right now isn’t just a solution for right now, it’s also fundemental to those issues down the line.
It’s also fundemental to Democrats building a bigger majority in 2028, in that they need to do something right now to make a palpable, sensible, difference in people’s lives they can feel right now

4·2 days agobut under no circumstances should we consider that “doing something.”
This is incredibly fucking stupid, and deeply toxic.
Putting money into peoples pockets is literally doing not just something, but the actual thing.
See: COVID payments, Child Tax Credit, Social security.
And on the other side see: 2008/9 bank bailouts, the foreclosure crisis, and on and on…
Fucking miss me with this heritage fucking society fucking bootstraps bullshit. If we want people out of poverty, make direct payments to poor people so they donʻt have to live in poverty. Its simple as.
This neoliberalism/ neoconservatism needs to be kicked to the curb.

10·2 days agoShe has not formally yet, but she is doing all of the things one who was going to announce would do.
And honestly, you aren’t going to replace the first black speaker of the house with anyone not of color.
I expect it either first thing tomorrow or first thing Monday

761·2 days agoVan Hollen would certainly be an upgrade, but keep in mind, one of the principal things here is showing voters that change is in the air while they’re still paying attention. Voters voted for change, Demʻs need to show they are serious about it, and theyʻll lock in voters for 2028. Even continue to pretend that Schumer and Jefferies have a place in leadership, and you are litterally creating headwind for 2028, which is like, its practically now. Remember that Presidential cycles start FAR earlier than general cycles. Weʻll literally be in the pre-primary debates/ news cycle in a couple of months.
Iʻm calling Schumer toast. Next to remove is Jefferies. These two have been the real barrier to stopping fascism, along with all centrists and moderates within the party.
Ayanna Pressley for speaker.

politics @lemmy.world•The Democrats’ New Motto Should Be: Republicans, Try and Stop Us
1·2 days agoI just want to extend that thinking beyond party political actors to daily drivers of moderation and centrism. Those among us who make the same claims being defended as moderate or a middle ground, are no less cynical in their expression of politics.

The “Centrists” and “moderates” of the party are demonstrated to be utter frauds. Any one who claims that mantle is basically saying “I’m here to sabatoging this for the Dems”
