A republican will cheer when a Democrat leans to the toxic choice. A Democrat will criticize when another Democrat leans to the toxic choice. All stereotypes and labels. Same is true for anyone seeking growth and balance. Where do you lean? Do you listen within or to the crowd? 2026 should be screaming clear that these aren't left v. Right issues. These are the 'haves' vs. the 'have-nots', and those that have the most, now want it all

Corporate democrats is the fox dressed as sheep. Or they are ok with allowing our country to seal the deal to be a fascist country. Either way they are a danger to democracy.

No surprise that capitalists support corporations knowing they will be taxed under anyone else, they are the problem and they will be stifled.

Keep up the pressure and remove these people’s voices.

This election is not about R and D. It's about Democracy. It's about science, education, research and more. I'm sick of centrist, progressive, socialist- how about decent human who wants people to be able to afford food, be paid a decent wage, get an education, rsise children and have healthcare? Vote for sanity. Vote against the cult.

Carville is such a tool wherever I see him speaking. I think Americans are tired of corporate dem voices like his.

El-Sayed is smart to not identify as a Democratic Socialist. Focussing on economic issues without the baggage of the Democratic Socialist platform gives him a chance to reach working class voters in a swing state.

Republicans would NEVER allow the same thing to happen in their party. They know it would likely cause them to lose elections. And it is why Republicans and their donors fund liberal third party candidates like Ralph Nader and Jill Stein (Green Party). Both 3rd party candidates cost the Dems Presidential elections. Smarten up Dems. Republican voter live by the credo that “the worst Republican is better than the best Democrat (or Independent).” Time for Dem voters to do the same. As they say “Perfect is the enemy of good.” BTW, progressive candidates like El-Sayed in Michigan are neither socialists nor communists. They are progressive Democrats and Capitalists that support the same policies of FDR, Truman, LBJ and even Republicans Teddy Roosevelt and Eisenhower. Even Nixon supported national healthcare. Any moderate Republicans have been purged. They are all MAGA and Trump enablers, now. Time to vote straight Democrat.

They are so worried about socialist/progressives because the people are demanding it. They would convert a whole bunch of magats too, that supported Bernie.

So with Trump we have national socialism. Trump has the federal government owning % of key industries. That’s a lot more socialism than Medicare for all.

That’s closer to communism not socialism. When a government owns all businesses or majority of them, it’s communism.

CORPORATE being the operative word.

As far as I’m concerned Carville is IRRELEVANT. Time to retire Jimmy!!

“Facing the possibility that Democrats might be able to fundraise directly from the public with this new internet thing, in 2005 a group of people including Jonathan Cowan, Matt Bennett, Jim Kessler, and Nancy Hale founded a new group associated with the Democratic Party called the Third Way.

Describing themselves as committed to “democratic capitalism,” they explicitly recommend Democratic politicians maintain relationships with wealthy donors, use capitalism as the framework for Democratic governance, create “partnerships” with business, and push “market-oriented solutions.”

And now they’re going to war with those Democrats who want to take the Party back to its FDR/LBJ New Deal/Great Society roots."

I have held my nose and voted for these corporate licking so called"centrist" Dem for 4 decades. The idiots decided that they way to more voters was to become Rebublican lite, instead of offering an.alternative to supply side and trickle down economics, which impoverished the working class and decimated the middle class. Time for them to sit down and shut the fuck up.

Any call for a 3rd party is an attempt to dilute opposition votes.

Why rip the Democrat party in pieces? Are all Republicans MAGA? One party can have members with different ideas.

That said, any Democrat that wants to ax our freedoms, social programs to help disadvantaged people, good education, etc., should go join another party. Democrats do believe in the benefits to our country of having a social security net.
