Poor progressives, bunch of young cacs who talk down to black ppl instead of sitting down and listening to them. Then wonder why black ppl don’t like them or their policies.

I hope Ohio voters are smart enough to draw the connection between the people they vote for and the outcomes they get. Don't get cynical when you don't get progressive votes out of a non-progressive candidate.

People claim they want progressive policies, but support moderate candidates.

It is what it is. I’ve accepted that progressives are the minority in the Dem party.

Hope they enjoy those neoliberal policies.

Most black people are economic progressives :mjpls:

But socially conservative according to The Coli. :mjpls:



Cenk has such a stunning lack of self-awareness.

The progressives in congress didn't fukk with Nina Turner for a reason. Moreover, the progressives in congress don't fukk with Cenk for a reason.

There's a reason that as soon as they get elected they won't do his show anymore. :whoa:

Progressives seemingly lack persuasiveness, what role does that play in their subpar electoral outcomes?

the problem honestly...is the bernie movement.

We're still living in the consequence of allowing his movement to stick around.

The more "anti-democrat" shyt being pushed by the left and having them ignore republicans, the worse democrats will seem as a viable alternative.

Bernie has a fair amount of blame for the state of political expectations and reasonability in the discourse.

Progressives are fighting an uphill battle against a corporatocracy thats willing to spend billions defending its core.

Ask people if they want universal health care they say yes. Try passing a bill for universal healthcare thats when the ad buys start up showing middle class moms saying its evil.

Soon as the bill tanks or the progressive loses the election ask them again they'll tell you they support universal healthcare

Even if it were true that they were dealing with those barriers, given that they have likely been dealing with those barriers for awhile:

1) how come they haven't figured out how to overcome those barriers?

2) given that those barriers will be present for the foreseeable future, what's the progressive strategy moving forward?

They need someone charismatic with good communication skills to come along and just be a tornado that goes nuclear on everyone: the right and centrist Dems and speak to pain people are feeling.

That’s a cynical outlook—the idea that a magnetic figure is needed to build progressive power around but I don’t really see what else will at this point.
