After months of bickering Congress remains completely unable to agree on any legislation on border security or aid to Israel and Ukraine — all priorities that a majority of lawmakers agree are needed.

I have laid out a specific electoral strategy for progressives to gain control and actually enact progressive legislation.

That's the same plan that's been in place for decades. The needle hasn't moved. Biden is to the right of Clinton. And you refuse to consider any alternative that comes with a hint of risk.

I say again, your lip service has done nothing. You have accomplished nothing. You will continue to accomplish nothing. And worst of all, you're fighting those of us who could actually make some changes.

"You won't consider alternatives!"

Won't provide any alternatives or explain how any of what they are doing is productive whatsoever.

"You're fighting against those of us wanting to make changes!"

Won't explain what those changes are, how they want to make the changes, or even talk about a strategy.

Talk about "lip service". Holy shit that's all you are. Thank you for the productive conversation. Have a nice day.

Here's the alternative:

  1. Biden immediately stops aiding Israel.
  2. Biden publicly states he will veto any legislation attempting to block a rail strike in 2025.

If he refuses we refuse to vote for him in the general election. In addition, we begin describing anyone who voted for him in the 2020 primaries as a selfish piece of shit. Make people embarrassed to admit they did that.

Amplify the general strike plans in 2028. Continue pushing anti-work sentiment. Bring U.S. productivity down.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
