Tuesday

He never talks about the left wing of the party. There is no section of the Democrats that he has anything good to say about. You may wish to imagine he's defending the left wing of the Democrats, but that's not what he's saying.

Something tells me you didn't watch the video. AloeVera Tuesday #5

DURec leftstreet Tuesday #2

Yes. It might be a mind-bender for some people. AloeVera Tuesday #6

No, they did not end up voting Kamala Harris JI7 Tuesday #3

Who is they? Emile Tuesday #4

So he hates Democrats. He repeats the tired "just the same as Republicans" bollocks. muriel_volestrangler Tuesday #7

He refers specifically to the centrists n/t leftstreet Tuesday #8

No, it's often just about "the Democrats". He does not have a single good thing to say muriel_volestrangler Tuesday #11

He certainly doesn't pull his punches leftstreet Tuesday #12

There's no "value". He's anti-Democrat. muriel_volestrangler Tuesday #14

The number of 2024 non-voters is based on comparison with the 2020 turnout numbers Fiendish Thingy Wednesday #28

That doesn't mean they were "reliably Democratic voters", as claimed muriel_volestrangler Wednesday #35

I think the 2024 abstainers are learning that lesson the hard way Fiendish Thingy Wednesday #39

To be fair, SocialDemocrat61 Wednesday #41

Which would still mean they're dumb shits, but for a different reason (nt) muriel_volestrangler Wednesday #42

True! SocialDemocrat61 Wednesday #43

"When Democrats use the term purity test against leftists ... same ... hypocrisy ... we're familiar with from fascists." betsuni Tuesday #15

He refers to Kamala Harris who is seen as the problem and the solution is Graham Platner. JI7 Tuesday #17

It's Democrat-bashing porn. Both Sides porn. betsuni Tuesday #10

Yup , i love how he just dismissed those who did have a purity test JI7 Tuesday #18

It doesn't even make any sense, the ideology is hating the Democratic Party and that's it. betsuni Wednesday #26

That's not how I heard it Fiendish Thingy Tuesday #16

Look again at the quote in reply #11 muriel_volestrangler Tuesday #19

He does indeed mention the Left Fiendish Thingy Tuesday #20

But not the left of the Democrats. muriel_volestrangler Tuesday #21

I'm sure he was including AOC, Bernie, Jayapal, Mamdani, Warren etc. in the group scolded by the Centrists Fiendish Thingy Tuesday #22

Amazing how you're "sure" when he didn't name a single one of them muriel_volestrangler Wednesday #23

Boom.. Mahalo, MV... Cha Wednesday #24

I wholeheartedly agree Fiendish Thingy Wednesday #30

True, but also true... Fiendish Thingy Wednesday #27

The more I read what he said, the more I reckon he's calling all Dems "centrist" muriel_volestrangler Wednesday #29

We read/listen with different filters, that much is clear Fiendish Thingy Wednesday #31

He titled his video SocialDemocrat61 Wednesday #34

I think he thinks leftists are revolutionary socialists, not a part of liberal capitalist Democratic Party. betsuni Wednesday #44

Sorry but compare the endorsement of Mamdani vs. Cuomo SocialDemocrat61 Wednesday #32

Many of those endorsements came at the very last minute, when it was clear Mamdani was going to win Fiendish Thingy Wednesday #33

Endorsements are usually staggered for impact. SocialDemocrat61 Wednesday #36

Let me get this straight SocialDemocrat61 Wednesday #37

I'm put off by a guy MorbidButterflyTat Tuesday #9

That's not all he can't "figure out" Cha Wednesday #25

He looks like a Trump supporter SocialDemocrat61 Wednesday #38

Well stated argument. Fiendish Thingy Tuesday #13
