#progressives
#BernieSanders and #AOC are rallying against the #oligarchy, but we’ve seen this all before. They inspire, but they’re not building the real infrastructure we need to win.
We need more than rallies and hope. #Progressives need to create a year-round machine: a candidate pipeline, media influence, and serious resources. Without this, we’re just spinning our wheels. If we want change, we have to build it ourselves.

Yes totally, the #Dems are just forced to be genocidal #imperialists, & it's OK to support their genocidal #imperialism cuz they really don't wanna do it deep down.
All you Old fashion #Liberals and people duped into #AOC & #BernieSanders rally is defeating yourself & wasting your time & energy in building Class Consciousness & actual #Workers / #Unions power to be militant, like how it #directaction was achieved in #LatinAmerica and other places, where you all pretend to have these radical platforms that #progressives consider ideal but essentially & directly oppose the only thing to get real change.
All this shit amounts to is: I'm going to only vote for whoever's the most #progressive in the #DemocraticParty, while they don't create a situation where people can be more as #progressives as the #Democrats structurally limits them and only keep them around as fucking hood ornaments like #BernieSanders, #AOC & the entire #FraudSquad to dope people into the #Dems.
You aren't #FightingOligarchy if you're plan is #VoteBlue all the time motherfucker!
After 2016 & 2020 where the #Democrats rigged the #primary to put their nominees, as they've done for 130 years since the 1890's, how is this gonna work now than the other times this hasn't worked?
#Progressives are a hood ornament to #Imperialism / #Colonialism (which has always been here unlike how he implies it's back out of the blue) that literally are Social #Fascists.
#AOC & #BernieSanders are " #progressives" in the same way an axe with a wooden handle is considered an ally by #trees. You see, the trees let the axe cut them down & chop them up, because they think it's one of them due to its wooden handle. Not knowing it's actually working with the lumberjacks.

#BernieSanders & #EthanKlein have basically the same views on #Israel, except #Sanders is much worse given he has actual power & influence. It makes no sense to love Sanders but hate #Klein.
Indeed, #billionaires are only a tiny fraction, maybe 0.0001%, of the #capitalist class. #Occupy was right, it really is the top 2% (& their supporters) who are the problem.
The " #billionaire class" does not exist. #Capitalists are the problem. Most of the country's capitalists, & the #wealthy #corrupt #politicians who pander to them, are not billionaires.
Pretend opposition to the " #billionaire class" by #liberals like #BernieSanders & #AOC is an intentional diversion of #workingclass energy & #classstruggle away from the real problem, which is #capitalism & the broader #capitalist class as a whole.
#AOC is a perfect example of how easy it is to say the right thing when you don't have to follow through with anything you propose or claim to stand for.
#AOC is such a champion of the people that even #Dem adjacent #DSA went to the trouble & public humiliation of un-endorsing her!
What a fighter!

Weird how someone that claims to oppose #oligarchs sure likes hanging out with them at their own events!

#Biden had more than 90 #billionaires supporting him in 2020. Both #AOC & #BernieSanders couldn't wait to endorse him in 2024 & vigorously pushed back against calls for him to drop out after his horrid debate performance when #liberals turned on him.
Here's your champion against the #oligarchy. Couldn't even take a principled stand against #genocide. #BernieSanders still won't acknowledge that what's happening in #Gaza actually is a #genocide.
