    But can’t go any further with what he wants.

    He’s mentioned times and times again that he’s convinced there’s a wide interest in medicare and reproductive rights. I’m not sure where your expectations from Twitch streamer sits though, maybe you want him to run for president?

    EDIT: also, more relevant, the whole “let’s not arrest and deport people arbitrarily”.

      Things progressive politicians already know, because they’re big reasons they’re already in office…

      also, more relevant, the whole “let’s not arrest and deport people arbitrarily”.

      Same answer…

      And I still have the same question:

      What does anyone expect them to do?

      If you think Bernie and AOC can do more, I’m sure they’d love to know how you expect them to accomplish it. Seriously, if you, this nepo streamer, literally anyone has a better path, everyone on the left would love to hear it.

      Like, the chair change is huge, and the biggest win we’ve had in half a century.

      We’re on our way to get ice cream, we just can’t instantly teleport to a new McDonald’s, we have to drive there. And no amount of screaming or crying will get there faster. Believe me, everyone in the car would rather be there already

        I don’t find your argumentation convincing at all.

        You go from a priori defining the democrats as a party that both already knows public opinion, that enhact the optimal strategies to a point where there’s not even the notion of a better strategy, but you never draw the connecting between that and where we are now, historically and politically.

        There’s two party in your (?) country, and currently one of them is blatantly disregarding human rights.

        It’s fair to assume the other party has, is, failing in opposing that.

        The argument of Piker, of course, is not in good faith. He thinks the democrats are not aequately opposing Trump because, at the end of the day, they are aligned on many front or at least not unaligned enough.

          Because the DNC is essentially a dictatorship where the chair has all the power and zero accountability to anyone.

          Seriously, the chair could write themselves a $500 million dollar check for consulting and it would be legal, they can do whatever they want and that is a huge problem.

          So being mad at the DNC today for anything they did more than 3 months ago is like refusing to watch the new Batman movie because George Clooney’s batsuit had bat-nipples on it.

          No one is saying you shouldn’t be upset at bad things that happened in the past. But holding a completely different group accountable for those past decisions doesn’t make any logical sense.

          No one working on the latest Batman worked on Clooney’s nipple suit.

          And no one running the DNC today, was able to make calls about what happened 3 months ago.

            I am waiting with trepidation at the imminent collapse of fascism and the return, nay, the renaissance, of the United States of America and, haralded by them, the world at large.

              I’m sorry political change feels slow to the tiktok generation, but at least you seem to understand now.

              haralded by them

              We can worry about spelling later.

                Going by your username I’m older than you, also I’ve never had a tiktok account.

                But yes, I do speak somewhat fluently a foreign languadge, thank you for noticing!
