I’ll start.

It’s tragic how many terrible things that President “Smokin’ Diamond” Joe Biden has had to allow to pass because there simply isn’t enough of a majority to overcome GOP opposition to everything. If only there were some common-sense bills could be passed, with bipartisan support, then maybe we could remember that this country is already great, mend the divide, and get back on track.

    This primary season it’s critical to ensure that any candidate you vote for is pro-NATO.

    Some of the more tankie members of the progressive caucus may not be openly pro-NATO, so make sure you do your research in case you need to vote for a real American in these districts.

      Remember that it’s critical to criticize, but don’t call for reform of, the Supreme Court.

      If we lose ourselves to radical positions like court expansion imagine if it’s ever used against us in the future.

        The only way to defeat fascism is at the ballot box. Republicans won’t be able to sustain this long term, so long as we don’t push for radical progressive policies (like healthcare entitlements or climate reform) we won’t lose the critical white suburban voters who delivered us Joe Biden in 2020.

        The most important thing we can do is to remind true-blooded Americans that no one slowed the rate of middle and lower class spending power decline as quickly as Joe Biden. (Sanity side note- if you’re ever in a position where you’re forced to use the second derivative of spending power as a talking point it’s already over)

        It’s time to highlight leaders cut from the same cloth. It’s time to rally behind Buttigieg 2028.

      I cannot in good conscience vote for Die Linke because of their anti-NATO stance. They need to kick out the Stasi Opas if they want my vote.
