So, Kyle Kulinski had a segment recently talking about Chris Cuomo melting down over AOC, saying she's not really a democrat because she's a socialist and she should gtfo of the democratic party.
And...as someone who has been watching this intraparty feud for a decade now, I just have one thing to say. SHUT THE F UP!
Like, seriously. There has been a segment of people on the left, in this two party system, who want change. And for a decade, they've been suppressed. Every election, these centrist hacks like Andrew Cuomo win primaries, and then the party tells us that we have to fall in line or we get the republican. They tell us that even a flawed democrat is better than a republican and that we live in a two party system and we have to choose. And god forbid if you dont go along with them like I did. They'll just blame you when they lose and harp on you with all this stupid lesser evilism crap.
But...when Andrew Cuomo loses a primary, all of the sudden, these same people start whining and moaning about how this isn't the democratic party they recognize and how we gotta gtfo and do our own thing. You guys kept telling us we had to work within your party and when we win, suddenly you want us to leave or you guys threaten to take your toys and go home? F U from the bottom of my heart.
If centrists like Chris and Andrew Cuomo can't accept the direction the party is going in after they spent the past decade running it into the ground because they're a bunch of out of touch oligarchs, then they have no business asking us for votes. I've known all along that all this 'blue no matter who" crap was just propaganda to bully the left into supporting the center, but now when the left wins, suddenly its like they dont recognize the party any more and they're screaming over socialists and losing their minds.
DEAL WITH IT! And remember, you gotta vote blue no matter who, right? RIGHT?! Yeah, if you dont do it for people like AOC or Zohran Mamdani, you have no business EVER asking people like me for my vote again.
And btw, as someone who isnt a socialist, I dont necessarily like the socialists either. While I agree we need policies and systemic change, I believe their solutions are flawed and inefficient. I'll give the center that one. I do think we should think a bit smarter and that socialists get too obsessed with...well...socialism. But at the same time, the reason these guys start to win is because the system is failing people, and it's failing people because liberals fail to provide solutions to modern problems.
The centrist wing of the democratic party is useless. Beyond useless. They're the personification of weaponized incompetence. They literally exist only to hold back progress and run interference at the behest of the billionaire class. They exist to water us down. And honestly, while a little moderation is fine relative to socialism, when literal socialism starts catching on, it's because the liberals arent doing their jobs of actually proposing useful solutions. We live in a new populist era where what we need is a second new deal and because the dems dont wanna give it, the pitchforks are coming out. We're seeing MAGA threaten to drag the country down into fascism on the right, and we're seeing the left become increasingly LITERALLY socialistic. Obviously, I agree, people like AOC and Mamdani sometimes go too far with the socialism stuff. I'm not a full blown socialist. But I understand how the liberals arent up for the moment. THis is a moment that requires systemic change and the dems just want tweaks around edges that dont do anything. And after losing to donald trump twice, people are tired of hearing how electable you are and how we gotta settle for you. You're not even doing anything. So just get the hell out of the way, and let someone who actually has ideas given instead. And if that means a socialist, well, so be it. better than a worthless centrist craplib like the Cuomos.
Btw, Kyle is right. Mario Cuomo, their father, he was more aligned with AOC. He was an actual new deal democrat. The sons are basically 90s era third wayers who dont seem to realize that era of politics is over and they need to get out and hand over the reins to people who can actually meet the moment.
