Fark off. We're not giving you guys a goddamn thing. You are WAY too comfortable with doing nothing and compromising with 100% concentrated evil. I'll be voting for candidates who were born AFTER the Battle of the Bulge.

These comments smell tankie af

Biden is giving free money to the progressive party far in advance of the midterms, I say we lock in and join the parade.

Which progressive party would that be? Is there a viable progressive party? Is it in the room with us now?

DNC wants to tax the rich, fund everyone's healthcare, ban lobbying, draw fair election maps, protect the rights of minorities, stop climate change, and protect the right to worship whatever you want.

If they had the authority to pass everything on their platform, if they had a trifecta and 60 senators for the first time since 1979 and a bunch of conservative SCOTUS judges croaked so we could replace them, then the USA would be further left than more than half of the EU.

DNC wants to

DNC says it wants to...

That's something entirely different. When the Dems have had the votes, they didn't deliver. Just like Trump, ignore the words, look at the actions.

They've literally done more than half of these things and Republicans make a career out of tearing it down at every opportunity.

Ah yes. Give money to the “progressive party” so it can do progressive things like funding ads for far right republicans in primaries:

Or backing “centrist” primary candidates against progressive candidates.

Very progressive. This amalgamation of rich people’s money and consultants is a great political ally.
