And realise it's not good for me to be this invested in your dumb affairs. Yet here we are.

You can probably find more. The question you should ask yourself why is there a vacuum in the conversation for Jimmy to fill in the first place? Why aren't your "progressives" the ones leading?

And Dore is right when he says you should treat your politicians like civil servants. They are not you friends.

    I'm talking about the "progressive" grifters in the US dem party. Politicians with a position in the system.

    Not your friend or family member who's a cashier at the local grocery store, who voted for Biden because it seemed like the right thing to do.

      Progressive democrats are one of the major gateways to leftism. Cutting off a key pipeline left is a terrible idea.

      EDIT: Shit, take a look through this thread. Progressive democrats play a valuable role in moving people left -- they're lib-safe, they're pushing popular policies that leftists support, and once people wrap their heads around the idea that socialism isn't some boogeyman they can move left pretty fast.
