There is no semblance of the left in mainstream US politics. We have some insurgents sure, and that’s great, but at large it is a highly capitulatory and conservative landscape. Even “progressives” support fascists like Hakeem Jeffries. “Progressive” means nothing anymore.
What a pathetic abdication of leadership.

This is what we mean when we call someone a liberal fascist. If you call yourself a “liberal” and vote this way. Yes. You are a fascist.
Hakeem Jeffries voted for:
H.Res. 719 — Honoring Charlie Kirk
H.R. 8034 — Arming Israel's genocide
H.R. 6090 — Making criticism of Israel a hate crime
H.Res. 883 — Designating "from the river to the sea" as antisemitic
H.Res. 888 — Made denying Israel's "right to exist" antisemitic
H.Res. 798 — Condemned anti-genocide protests on campuses
H.Con.Res. 57 -- Declared Israel as not racist and not apartheid (yes, that was a real thing that he really voted yes on)
H.R. 5323 - $1 billion more Iron Dome (in 2021)
H.R. 7006- Cut funding for UNRWA and stated USA would not recognize the international criminal court

H.Res. 11-Objecting to the UN resolution criticizing Israeli occupation in Palestine
H.Con.Res. 58 - Denouncing the "horrors" of socialism
S. 1582- let Crypto do whatever it wants

I love that people like Kaitlan Collins are so unprincipled and shallow that they can’t imagine the idea that someone cares enough about a policy that they’d strip the symbolic victory from it and name it after Trump if that’s what it took to pass it.
Abdul El-Sayed on why he would be willing to call it "Trumpcare-for-All" if it meant Trump would sign it:
"Donald, if you're watching, we can put your name on it. I know you like to put your name on stuff. You can finally meet the unmet promise in America to guarantee everybody n the table if you want to do it."

Very telling that Pod Save America invited a slew of bad faith actors dedicated to being roadblocks to meaningful left populist change to Crooked Con. We have got to do something about this disingenuous liberalism that prioritizes platforming fascists, zionists, & reactionaries
Very interesting that Lis Smith is still complaining about Haley Stevens ending McMorrow's campaign hopes with millions in ads.
[In the tweet below you can see her implying El-Sayed was a bad candidate, not taking this same factor into account.🤔]
Lis: "There was this moment a brief, brilliant, shining moment when she was leading in the polls... [then] the axe fell and this massive, massive spending started on Haley Stevens' behalf."
Morris Katz then mentions AIPAC

the issue is Stevens didnt "turn heel" when she endorsed Rogers, her campaign was ALWAYS propped up by GOP money. Her two biggest funders from the onset of the primary were Trump mega-donors Paul Singer & Jan Koum. But because it was laundered through AIPAC no one talked about it
Lots of folks want to punish Schumer for favoring Haley Stevens who then turned heel.
Does this same logic apply to every progressive who backed John Fetterman in the 2022 primary? Or Jared Golden in the 2018 primary?

I have come to the conclusion that Hakeem Jeffries is the most serious threat to the progressive agenda in the country, more so than Trump himself, and that any progressive not loudly, actively opposing Jeffries is actively betraying their movement.

“Gaza wasn’t the main 2026 issue except for MI” because every other major dem nominee had the safe liberal zionist line. It only became an issue in MI because AES did not and AIPAC spent $50m to make it an issue. How much did AIPAC spend against Talarico? $0, thus, not an issue.
Other ways moderates were right:
- Persuasion beats mobilization
- Voters are sick of culture war litmus tests
- Gaza was not the main 2026 issue (except in MI)
- TX mattered more than MI
- Voters like vague populist ideas > specific lefty policies (see: failed wealth tax in CA)

every covert AIPAC front PAC is now called like "Women Loving Love PAC" or "Elect Really Big Smiles PAC" lmao
Here’s @ryangrim pointing out some of the Dems who missed the Hegseth vote were coincidentally at a “new member reception” for a group that served as a pass-through for AIPAC money
(Then claimed “stuck in traffic”🤔)

lmao Neera Tanden loves James Talarico so much. So many people are going to be bummed out and confused when he turns heel to capitulate to conservatives and becomes a backpedaling centrist with a fake progressive veneer. And in hindsight all the clues will be there.
Neera Tanden: "This is an election for normie Dems. Ok, I'm sorry."

Call yourself a socialist willing to work with the Democratic Party and establishment Dems will use every power to crush you & keep you out of the Party. But call yourself a Democrat and openly endorse and vote for a Republican and they’ll be happy to let you stay in the Party.
Nancy Pelosi on Kicking Haley Stevens Out of the Caucus:
We have a few more weeks of being in Congress, so I don’t think we should start making judgments about anybody in the caucus at this point.
I was disappointed. I conveyed that to her. I want to be helpful to her in terms his, but I’m not supporting kicking her out.
Let’s focus on the very positive

feels like AIPAC has lost popularity so many act as if Israel is on the back foot, when in reality they can’t see the very insidious liberal zionism that we’re not even a little bit removed from but still fully embedded within, which always ensures Israel & Zionism undermines us

Liberal fascism is so incredibly transparent and obvious once you can spot it

Chi Osse, a socialist, just inked a podcast deal with Pod Save America’s Crooked Media, the liberal zionist media company that just allowed pro-genocide zionist Joel Rubin to be a panelist at their convention. Not great!
Yikes — ex Obama state dept official @JoelMartinRubin got booed at #CrookedCon for claiming @AbdulElSayed & @TroyJackson207 underperformed because they used the word “genocide”, and nobody really cared about Gaza 🤔
