“…tough night for MAGA-aligned candidates in May 3 local elections, voters X state decisively rejected far-right candidates, school board, city council races. Tarrant County to Collin Co , to San Antonio to Dallas, communities chose leaders who prioritize public education, inclusivity, pragmatic governance w/o culture wars & partisan agendas. This widespread shift signals resistance at the local level…”

Lone Star Left · Maga's Very Bad Night In TexasBy Michelle H. Davis

#BernieSanders and #AOC are rallying against the #oligarchy, but we’ve seen this all before. They inspire, but they’re not building the real infrastructure we need to win.

We need more than rallies and hope. #Progressives need to create a year-round machine: a candidate pipeline, media influence, and serious resources. Without this, we’re just spinning our wheels. If we want change, we have to build it ourselves.

All you Old fashion #Liberals and people duped into #AOC & #BernieSanders rally is defeating yourself & wasting your time & energy in building Class Consciousness & actual #Workers / #Unions power to be militant, like how it #directaction was achieved in #LatinAmerica and other places, where you all pretend to have these radical platforms that #progressives consider ideal but essentially & directly oppose the only thing to get real change.

All this shit amounts to is: I'm going to only vote for whoever's the most #progressive in the #DemocraticParty, while they don't create a situation where people can be more as #progressives as the #Democrats structurally limits them and only keep them around as fucking hood ornaments like #BernieSanders, #AOC & the entire #FraudSquad to dope people into the #Dems.

You aren't #FightingOligarchy if you're plan is #VoteBlue all the time motherfucker!

After 2016 & 2020 where the #Democrats rigged the #primary to put their nominees, as they've done for 130 years since the 1890's, how is this gonna work now than the other times this hasn't worked?

#Progressives are a hood ornament to #Imperialism / #Colonialism (which has always been here unlike how he implies it's back out of the blue) that literally are Social #Fascists.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and *hope* that #Progressives or #Democrats running for #California governor start reading the room and publicly or shadily distance themselves from #Newsom NOW.

We always have an f-ton of crazies running...and we need focused leadership to cut through the (inevitable) noise, someone to rally around. No more BS. No more people with dwindling political capital. No more yes-people. Meet the moment, California...

Question.. where's Kamala? Where's Hillary? Where's Biden? Where are the liberals who claim to want to stop Trump, but immediately go away the second they realize they don't have the chance to wield any power anymore? This is the difference between liberals and progressives.

Liberals claim to want to help the people so they can get elected, but progressives actually fight for us. 🇺🇸
