So, I wasn't gonna cover this since I didn't think it was that significant, but everyone is making a big deal about it. Apparently in NY there were some primaries last night and the DSA swept. And apparently the democratic establishment isn't happy, and they're talking like they're preparing for all out war against the progressive wing of the party.
Now, again, I don't think the wins are a huge deal. I mean, it's New York. NYC is like D+20....D+30....something like that. Point is, they're unrepresentative of the majority of the country. But, we are seeing a populist wave. And we are seeing candidates like Mamdani pop up elsewhere. Think Graham Platner in Maine, Abdul El Sayed in Michigan. It's the democratic tea party, baby, and they're coming for the party.
I actually think it's ironic the second the progressives start winning centrists get OH SO SALTY. I mean, what happened to "vote blue no matter who" guys? Oh, you represent an entirely different ideology and find us unacceptable? Gee, how about that? That's how we've felt when you shoved centrist after centrist down our throats for the past decade. And, as you guys know, I aint big on blue no matter who, the only thing keeping me being so loyal to democrats is the fascist threat. I was hoping we could unite for now and settle this later, but meh, if you guys wanna throw down, we can throw down.
Because here's the thing. Centrist dems are very unpopular. No one likes these guys. They got the same energy as the centrist republicans who were expelled from the party 15 years ago. And given you guys had your chance, and you very predictably couldn't pull it off, well, yeah, we're coming from the party. And I say this who isn't even DSA. Like, I might be willing to vote for them and accept them, but my own ideology and priorities is a bit different and a tad more moderate. But make no mistake. Between your ilk and those guys, I'm with those guys. Centrists are useless. They've been holding the party back for 10+ years now, and the dam is finally breaking. Remember what I said. 2016 was the 36 year mark the coalitions started breaking. But it takes around 12 years in modern politics for something to emerge from that. And in 2028....we could see a very progressive dem come from nowhere, take over the party, and BOOM, realignment.
Now, if you centrists are salty and wanna take your ball and go home, unlike you guys, I wont stop you. Unless you literally support full blown fascists. but let's face it, you leave and join the republicans, you moderate the republicans. Then THEY gotta put up with your bull####. And they probably wont because I know how those guys work, and i left the GOP for a reason so meh, you'll be back. So either you'll bring the GOP back from the brink of fascism, or you'll be so horrified you'll just keep coming back and voting for us, or vote third party yourselves. And what are you gonna do, join the forward party? Hopefully you'll embrace UBI if you do, in which case maybe I'll eventually join you, because guess what? Im not a socialist either. But let's face it, you guys are too uncool to do that. So idk, have fun being on the outs. Really, displacing the dem establishment with progressives is the best thing that could happen to this political system at this point. The realignment will be favorable to my perspective. It'll move BOTH parties left, where they belong. So...go ahead, make my day, centrists, make my day.
I just love how salty these guys get. Oh, you mean all that blue no matter who crap was bullcrap? You mean that you actually do recognize progressives and leftists are so radically different from you we SHOULD be in different parties? But yeah. Unlike you guys, I won't complain. Unless you actually think voting for fascists is favorable, in which case I'll have to condemn you for that. Seriously, even I voted blue in 2024, and plan to in 2026 and 2028. If you turn your back on the democrats in our darkest hour because your guy isn't winning, well....yeah you can go screw yourselves for that one. Have fun living with that for the rest of your lives. But honestly, I think we'll be fine. If anything, I think a bit of realigning like this is exactly what we've needed all along. I just wish we did this back in 2016.
