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.
