We’re all exhausted, but in the 24 hours since the election was called, corporate interests and their allies have already started their war on progressives. There is no rest for the weary.
Conserva-Dems will kick and scream and wail, but at the end of the day they need the Progressive Caucus at least as much as the Progressives need them. Unless the GOP decide to break ranks and start doing compromise bills with the Bidencrats, the Leftists control just enough seats to be a pain in the President's ass.
All this sound and fury signifies nothing. Primarying the Squad failed. Shoving a bunch of corporate goons into the House failed. Now all they can do is spit and cry and then beg for votes in two months.

You assume they want anything to change. They don't.
Now all they can do is spit and cry and then beg for votes in two months.
You assume they want to win. If they did they would have waited to come down on the left until after that race was done. They are TRYING TO LOSE so that they are forced to work with the Republicans, which is precisely what they want to do so they have an excuse to do absolutely fucking nothing. Oh, well they will kill people in other countries. They all agree on that.
Who do you think they want to work with? Socialists or extremely marginally further right capitalists?
The US is staggered and failing. I assume a lot of people want things to change.
You assume they want to win.
I assume they want to be in charge.
They are TRYING TO LOSE so that they are forced to work with the Republicans
If you look at the folks that lost this cycle, they were right in line with Biden. Dems would not have been pulled to the left by Amy McGrath and MJ Haeger.
Who do you think they want to work with?
Themselves. Which is why they're currently throwing a fit at The Squad over the handful of House seats they lost. They don't want to work with AOC, but they do want to command the finances of the nation.
Oh, they want things to change, just not the basic neoliberal course of the country.
What they want to change in regards to the fact that they are getting completely hammered by china and anti imperialism more broadly.
They want to be in charge? How are they in charge if social movements and a few upstart congress people are calling the shots and trying to dismantle the way the country is run? They would FAR rather the Republicans have power than BLM or AOC.
And I know the folks that lost were in line with Biden and they don't give a shit. They are screaming that they don't care on a megaphone at this point. You think they don't know that? You think they are stupid and can't figure this stuff out?
As for the finances, would they rather have Republicans, who they agree with on basically everything or socialists run the finances who they agree with on nothing.
Look at what happened with Corbyn. The Dems will self immolate long before any serious progressive gains any power. And if you think I'm wrong, then enjoy your epic penis flattening on the night of the long knives with rainbows they do when the time comes.
The entire purpose of the democratic party even existing is to counter and subsume spontaneous left movements. If you purpose is to stop socialism, why would you work with socialists?
This is a party that has killed literally millions of socialists around the world. Lyndon Johnson was a democrat when they lied their way into the Vietnam war. Truman started the Korean War.
Johnson also oversaw the murder of 1-2 million socailists in Indonesia, and it just goes on from there. "Socialists" are going to reform that? Might as well try to reform the Nazi party, literally.
Worse there are people who use the word socialist that belong to that party? It's disgusting.
Question of the year for the left of the democratic party: Are ya winnin' son?
glances at who won down ticket races in 2020
Yes, actually.
