Welcome to Progressive Politics! A place for news updates and political discussion from a left perspective. Conservatives and centrists are welcome just try and keep it civil :)
(Sidebar still a work in progress post recommendations if you have them such as reading lists)
Not ideal? Motherfucker said the US-Israel relationship is "IRONCLAD."
Sorry, but the baseline for this next election is clearly 1) FUCK Israel because every Democrat, and even some Republicans (see Mike Rogers), is rejecting or denying AIPAC funds and 2) finally putting together a bill for Medicare for All for vote on the Senate floor, the most important progressive policy that was at the forefront of Bernie's movement. Don't forget the reaction of the MURDER of a United Healthcare CEO. That just tells you how much people despise the current healthcare system.
I forgive Abdul El Sayed for declaring himself a capitalist rather than a socialist. That's because he has unequivocally built his campaign around these two baseline issues.
Maybe you're in the south where Ossoff's voice might echo louder, but I honestly haven't heard much about him in the northeast or the west coast where I frequent. The new standard is Mamdani, and for all his efforts fighting for socialist policies, to still end up with a Zionist, corporate bootlicker on the big ticket would be an utter disappoinment.
I can confirm I have heard nothing of Ossoff.
Fair enough.
