This bullshit has been debunked a thousand times. Each time you lose more credibility.
The plan was that House progressives vote for a THIRD candidate to deny both Pelosi and McCarthy the majority of the votes and speakership.

If the Dems won't pass Medicare for all in the middle of a pandemic and depression, when millions are losing employer-based care, when 88% of Dems want it, when they could pass it in the House, win the election & still have the GOP block it for them
Then they will NEVER pass it.
The Democratic party and its “leadership” are refusing to support Medicare for All during the pandemic, the Green New Deal during the climate crisis, and Universal Basic Income during the economic crisis so I mean this sincerely: What is the fucking point of the Democratic party?

WFP calls for the elimination of DNC superdelegates but they used a voting process with 50% superdelegates to endorse Warren over Sanders instead of letting the families decide. It's very disappointing.

Despite Democrats winning the presidency and majorities in the House and Senate, Congressional progressives are giving up on demanding national Medicare for all from Biden, Pelosi, and Schumer. Ryan Grim's new job is attacking the left for continuing to support it.

This is from a third party’s organizing slack. If this stuff didn’t make sense to you before, it will after reading this. (Party is called Movement for the People’s Party, which led the FTV thing. They plotted to convince people that left wing Dems are actually sellouts.)
Rage Against the War Machine was incredible! Thousands of people rallied and our march stretched several blocks. We brought left and right together to stop this war in Ukraine. The anti-war movement is BACK!
Bernie Sanders was runner up twice in consecutive presidential primaries, and only because the party rigged it against him both times. He led a movement for five years and the establishment doesn't think this is worth a single cabinet seat.
Think about that.

Have you noticed how impeachment never has anything to do with what’s best for working people?
• Nixon 1973, spying on DNC elites
• Clinton 1998, lying about an affair
• Trump 2019, getting dirt on Dems
No one is ever impeached for denying healthcare to millions.
Trump won BECAUSE people want a political revolution. And instead of giving it to them, the Democratic Party forced through an establishment candidate.
I’m baffled by people who think that literally repeating the actions and policies that produced Trump will somehow replace him.

Maybe your newspaper shouldn't have attacked the presidential candidate who supported Medicare for all and ran cover for the one who said he would veto it.

- Did I say immediately? I meant March.

- Did I say $1.9 trillion? That was before Senate power-sharing with the GOP.
This is Cornel West’s way of dropping out. He doesn’t have the resources or expertise to get ballot access as an independent. Now he can run a messaging campaign without spoiling Biden.

I think we’ve gone about the whole Ralph Nader and Susan Sarandon thing wrong. We should tell the liberals “You’re DAMN RIGHT we cost you the election in 2000. And we’ll do it over and over again until either you give everyone health care and a living wage or we do.”
Are we going to spend the next four years on this like we did Russiagate? Or do we just oppose foreign election inference because rigging American elections is the Democratic Party’s job?

your immidiate endorsement of Joe Biden is so pathetic that even MSNBC is trying to defend you for being a sellout.
Joe Biden is a sitting president. Why didn't you demand that he enact a series of executive orders and agency actions to EARN your endorsement
Kudos to the DNC for one of the most honest things they’ve done in a long time.
This about accurately represents how important progressives and working people are to them.
Add this to Biden's retreat on $2,000, the stimulus bill, a public option, lowing the age of Medicare to 60, student loan relief, etc.
This is the neoliberal restoration of the Obama status quo that AOC and Bernie correctly said would deliver an even worse Trump.
If Bernie Sanders was running right now as a People’s Party presidential candidate, he would be the next president of the United States.
For everything we’ve lost, and for everything we can still save, we must break this cycle.
Leftists reluctantly voting for Biden: In four years when you are faced with this same choice again, what are you going to do? In 8 years? 12 years? 16? At what point will you be willing to stop voting against yourself? What's your line in the sand?
Just like Obama make the Bush tax cuts largely permanent, Biden is now preparing to make the Trump tax cuts largely permanent.
Wake up America. You don’t have a left party. You don’t even have a centrist party. You have two viciously predatory Wall Street parties.

Where is your tweet calling out Joe Biden and the Democrats for actually funding Israeli apartheid and ethnic cleansing with billions in annual military aid? Is he exceeding progressive expectations now? Are you?

Dear progressives,
We find ourselves at a crossroads.
We can either acknowledge that reforming the Democrats has failed and create the major new party that Americans want in poll after poll.
Or we can carry on a dead-end strategy and stop pretending that this is a revolution.

2. The worst part is that Weaver wanted to use the organization’s 501(c)(4) status to take billionaire money without telling grassroots donors about it. All while continuing to sign every email and piece merchandise with: “Paid for by Our Revolution. Not the billionaires.”

3. Asking millions of poor and working class people, who had just poured their heart and soul into the Bernie campaign, to give more, while not telling them that we were taking billionaire money on the side, is one of the worst things I’ve ever been asked to do.

Katie Porter voted for corporate lawyer Hakeem Jeffries for House Speaker about 15 times. And Pelosi before that. She voted for every single Ukraine war funding package totaling more than $100B. This is what passes for “fearless critic” of Wall Street in the Democrat Party now.
False.
Where do you think Trump came from? Trump is Obama’s legacy. People voted Obama to escape Bush. But Obama doubled down on corporatism. So then people elected Trump.
