24. Not ridiculing progressives?

Sun May 3, 2026, 08:04 PM

Sunday

What do you call this?

But if you want to whine about the progressive left not getting enough love, fine. They whined, pouted and many stayed home in 2024 and look where the fuck that got us.

In that paragraph alone you called progressives whiners and blamed them for Harris' lose in 2024.

Also, let me be very clear I have supported Harris since she was the AG of California. I voted for her 2024. Don't believe me just look at my profile and history. I did so already realizing she was going to lose because I knew that her embracing people like the Cheneys and excluding progressives from the DNC had destroyed her chances. It wasn't so much her fault as it was bad advice from advisors that were not her own.
I think or at least I hope, that she would run a very different campaign if she runs in 2028. If she runs I will support her for 2028 as well.

So people can blame and ridicule progressives all you want but our ideals are the mainstream now and that has already been reflected in the elections that have happened so far and will be heavily reflected in results in November.
