Let me know when an actual alliance happens. Did the moderates concede anything in the name of alliance or simply demand the left move rightward and tell them there is no alternative? Wasnt Pelosi endorsing primary challenges against progressives in Trumps term? Doesn’t really sound like they’re making alliances.
The inflation reduction act as passed can’t hold a candle to the worst parts of the green new deal, they couldn’t even touch minimum wage. If thats alliance, I’d hate to be their enemy.
Now you’re moving the goalposts what happened to the supposed alliance? Im not talking about what you’ll take out of a broken legislature, im saying there has been no effort on an actual alliance with anyone to the left of centerist democrats. No longer endorsing people who challenge them is hardly an alliance. Neither is what every other country would simply call a normal infrastructure bill. If things like preventing bridges from falling down and fixing roads long out of spec is a gift to progressives, then the Democrats are truly an incompetent party and there’s little hope anything gets done regardless of who’s in charge.
Theyve given you the illusion you have a seat at their table. There is no changing the way the oligarchy works. They will do nothing that impacts their power, there is no reforming within
Sometimes, stopping fascism means actually working within an alliance between moderates and those further left. I’ve got no problem doing that.

Started happening in 2020.
The part I pay close attention to is climate. We got the carrot portions of the Green New Deal enacted as the Inflation Reduction Act.

It’s what we could get through the Senate. That body is designed to favor the most conservative.
I’ll take what I can actually get over an actively hostile government any day

Hardly. We got what what was possible as a minority within the Democratic party which held an incredibly narrow margin in the Senate.
So no alliance.
Without involvement, we’d have gotten less than nothing, so you’re just trolling.

Ok cool, you better not fucking vote then or you’re a hypocrite.
Well no shit
