Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has endorsed President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign, a sign of the president’s strength in uniting his party to have the backing of one of its most liberal members

    Yeah…

    That’s what everyone is complaining about.

    And why everyone is more upset at the people running the national party who refuse to let Americans have a primary.

    The ones who are willing to say “if you dont vote for this 80 year old who lied to you four years, have fun with trump!”.

    Do t worry tho, progressives will do what we always do and vote for the lesser evil.

    Doesn’t mean we have to pretend we like it

      Progressive candidates lose elections, which is rather the problem here. There aren’t as many of you as your online circles would have you believe

        By that logic since world peace hasnt been achieved, we need to give up.

        That climate change is still happening, so fuck doing anything about.

        That a wealthy ruling class has always existed so it always will.

        That children dying of hunger is part of life and we just need to move on.

        Is that really the outlook of “moderates”?

        If something is bad, just accept it. Nothing will ever improve so stop trying

        It really explains a lot

          This is a nonsensical interpretation of what I’ve said. If you lose elections, you don’t get a say in how the country runs. Progressives aren’t popular, and suggesting the system is rigged rather than piss-poor communication and outreach among progressives (combined with a total unwillingness to compromise and the fiery rhetoric that entails) is the reason why.
