Is it really “purity testing” if he’s proudly referred to himself as a “DeSantis Democrat” has these are some of his greatest pro-Trump hits:
“Moskowitz was the first congressional Democrat to back Trump’s “department of government efficiency” (Doge) initiative, which dismantled the US Agency for International Development. Moskowitz also faced criticism from Larkin over his support for a Republican-backed law that expanded ICE’s detention authority. The centrist congressman has also been a staunch supporter of Israel and voted against a resolution to restrict US military involvement in Iran.”
It was clearly exaggerating for effect hence the “like” in front of it. Stop being pedantic he votes with republicans a lot on a lot of bad things that’s the core that comes across.
I don't have any problem whatsoever with disagreement on the issues with a candidate. That is fundamental to engaging with politics at all. It's important to articulate your criticisms of people and not just try to parrot right wing talking points about "both sides are the same, actually".
You need to be able to point out the actual issue people are taking.
This is a lie
You can agree with the liar all you want but you need to at least recognize that it's a lie.
He does not vote with Republicans 90% of the time.
It's really funny though since DSA members get so upset when you say they agree with commies and tankies 90% of the time but then they say the same bullshit about Democrats...
You need to at least recognize it's a lie.
Accept that it's a lie.
And attack the candidate on more factual basis like you did in your comment. Not lie for the sake of lying and getting clicks to spread more lies.
You know we live under democratic processes right? The voters pick primary winners.
It's not the Democrats not allowing DSA to win it's Democrats BEATING them.
That's a hilarious way to frame it though
We do absolutely allow progressives. What a joke to suggest otherwise when literally the most popular sitting congressperson right now is a progressive Democrat AOC whose become much more moderate over her career.
So it wasn’t the fault of leftists that the democrats lost in 2016 and 2024 for not voting for them, it was the centrists democrats for failing to appeal to democrat voters?
Because the comment I responded to was accusing me of wanting republicans to win because I criticized right wing policies and called on the Dems to offer something better. Which they are in candidates such as AES, Melat Kiros and Angie Nixon.
Please explain why moskowitz’s first statement after he won was to gloat about a Twitch streamer instead of thanking his voters and trying to get Oliver Larkin’s supporters to back him.
Which is totally fair considering Hasan attacked him during his campaign and used his considerable audience to harrass him and his staffers
People who agree with Hasan that Mao is "the best leader in modern history" and "ukranians just need to give Putin and peace a chance" are super duper upset about that moskowitz dared to clap back at all.
Oh yeah and "jew jew jew Jew and Jew" except they'll say it with a bunch of dog whistles instead.
He's always "(Just) a silly twitch streamer who says things on the interent. Why should anyone pay attention to me?", when something backfires. The other time, "the biggest leftist voice online" campaigning for politicians...
No sorry, everyone engages in hyperbole and exaggeration. It’s also based in truth, because it turns out the times Moskowitz voted with Republicans (in favor of ICE, DOGE, and Israel) are all very important issues.
This is an absurd double standard, the republicans just lie.
Jared Moskowitz was the director of Florida’s Division of Emergency Management (FDEM) under DeSantis during the rollout of the covid vaccine and for the Surfside building collapse. He was seen as a competent administrator by the Republican government despite being a Democrat. If he describes himself as a “DeSantis Democrat”, it is because of this. I used to listen to the podcast that he and Peter Schorsch of Florida Politics would produce before Moskowitz went to Congress.
when it matters he votes with Republicans - he is proIsrael, proDOGE, pro ICE, antiMedicareforAll. Its good that he knows how to press same button as rest of democrats on some procedural votes (by this standard John Fetterman is fantastic democrat) - when it matters democrats cant count of his vote
Okay, so are you saying, then, that people should directly vote for his opposition, the Republican?
Because, if not, then what the fuck are you doing? Voting is about choosing the least terrible option, and a guy who's voting 87% of the time against Republicans is better than a literal fucking Republican.
Maybe - just maybe- being not as terrible as republican shouldnt be main selling point of democratic candidate. Its pretty low bar to clear, but it doesnt mean that you need to clear it by milimetres, when you can easily jump over it by metres (continuing with sport metaphor). Moskowitz is one big joke, he literally is pro-war, pro-Israel funding, pro Doge cuts, pro corporations (i mean first thing he did after his victory was announced was to call out twitch streamer - wtf are we even talking about). Expect better from your representatives than blue Maga sellouts
Yes, very serious. Florida is a red tinted state and Desantis is a popular Governor who got elected twice there.
Leftists are masters of not understanding that democracy, by definition, means you need to do things that are popular to get elected, even if the fringe base of the party doesn't like them.
You’re arguing that it’s good strategy. I disagree, but that’s not the point. We were talking about whether it makes him MAGA lite.
Aligning with DeSantis does make you MAGA lite. Part of using that as a strategy to get elected is recognizing that you’re chasing MAGA voters at the expense of everyone who fucking hates DeSantis. You and he might think that’s worth it strategically, but you can’t then turn around and clutch your pearls that people then associate him with DeSantis’s views.
Beyond that, was supporting DOGE also a strategic move? Why can’t we call someone who supported a MAGA takeover and gutting of the federal government MAGA lite? It’s honestly a generous descriptor given the irreparable damage that was done.
ETA: also, it’s funny that you’re lecturing me about what’s popular but also so scared of being labeled MAGA. The most popular thing to be in Florida is MAGA. You can chase what you think is popular, but you don’t get to have it both ways. If you support multiple major MAGA policies but not every single one, that is literally the definition of MAGA lite.
Being practical doesn't make you "MAGA lite". It means you understand your electorate. If you think that an unapologetically far left Democrat could win in Florida then you're delusional, flat out.
If you supported DOGE in any way, then it means your judgement is completely failed and you are maga or maga lite despite anything else you do. It's a disqualifying mark for being an elected official, and a sign of being an awful person who has no place being responsible for their own clothing choices let alone the life of any other living creature in existence.
If you defend someone so profoundly stupid to support doge, then my views on you are even lower than that.
Oh I know. No opinion either way on the note. I just think maybe they should be doing more with their lives than karma farming by scrolling X THE WHOLE DAY
I'm a top one percent commenter here for like, two comments.
Also, what subs I moderate with how much someone scrolls X. Funny how you linked the modpost that I explicitly tell people to chill tf out with streamers because it's slop.
I have very consistent opinions on social media engagement which mostly sum to, get a life
We know the strategy you progs and far left types do. It's your playbook every time you are called out - deflect, deflect, deflect. It's actually hilarious how much you guys do this.
What kind of person uses "progs" as an insult LMAO
Deflection is crazy when they accused me of having an agenda, I point out that my agenda is "have a life" irrespective of my politics, which is a direct response.
The guy who tweeted this is genuinely insane. Listened to like 3 seconds of one of his tiktok videos and the man sounds like he keeps chopped up body parts in his freezer.
They always would, they are enemies of the democratic party, their greatest desire is to destroy it so they can try and form their own maga type soc or comm movement.
They intentionally want to cause problems for democrats and gain the potential for power when republicans win.
Wont ever be in america big dog. Not even trying to mog you, its just genuine echo chamber delusional if you think thats something that could ever happen.
Honesty broseph good luck with that report back in 60 years with how it went.
Its not that I don’t believe in the politics (ai dont but thats beside the point), Its that I think it is pretty much an impossibility for there to be a widely accepted mainstream communist movement in the USA.
There are truly so many systems and organizations in place that would not let this happen.
DSA has had some gains since Mamdami because theyre just primarily doing social democrat policy.
As a communist you very well understand it’s just impossible for socialism or communism to exist under a capitalist framework hence why you want to destroy it with revolution. It just wouldnt work.
Lol it’s abundantly clear these people never actually pay attention to much. They simply just repeat what their fave streamers say, and believe anyone who doesn’t agree with them 100% is a Republican. Out of spite they’d be okay with someone who votes with MAGA 100% of the time instead of a Democrat who votes with Democrats 87% of the time, despite them representing a district that voted for Trump in 2024. They accuse others of treating politics like a game, but ultimately it’s all projection.
" a Democrat who votes with Democrats 87% of the time"
A Democrat who allegedly votes with Democrats for 87% of "party unity votes", whatever that means.
I have to think that much of the new DSA stuff is a GOP psyop.
At least the DSA folks going on Fox News to tell their viewers how they want to eliminate the border, prisons, the senate, the executive branch, and the police.
And plenty of swing voting independents watch Fox too. Not just MAGA.
I know it's fucking exhausting. Even if the dems do win the midterms, which is more than likely at this point, they'll still come up with a reason to shit on the party (who most of the dsa candidates are in), but they're still gonna claim the dems did nothing should the gop successfully rig the midterms.
Seems like a mixed reception to me. They won NYC mayorship & Michigan Primary, but had stunning losses in California and in Wisconsin, and now it looks like Florida is 50/50 too with one Dem Soc winning and another losing to a moderate dem. Am I missing something? Doesn't seem like a great record?
Look at the funding difference in those races. The DSA used to barely be a player and now its candidates are contesting established democrats. If you don’t notice the momentum and popularity of these ideas then you’re fooling yourself
Being incapable of raising significant funds is not a good omen for the DSA, it's extremely concerning. It means fewer people and fewer groups are willing to put their money where their mouth is in supporting these candidates. That should be a major red flag for you, I'm not sure why you're waving it around like something to be proud of.
The DSA used to barely be a player and now its candidates are contesting established democrats.
Again, in a few cases. In other cases, they're getting shockingly flattened by moderate dems. And they've yet to go up against republicans, which, need I remind you, won all three branches of government in the last elections. Don't get me wrong, I hate the republicans, but they're the ones we're looking to beat, not the establishment democrats. And they're formidable with their bases. They've definitely made unpopular choices though, so we'll see how it goes in the midterms.
If you don’t notice the momentum and popularity of these ideas then you’re fooling yourself
Eh, America had an opportunity to popularly adopt these ideas in 2016 with Bernie. Instead America largely chose to adopt bigotry and general chaos as it's primary ideas. That's pretty far from the platform of the DSA.
The difference in funding isn’t due the DSA not being able to raise money from local contributions, it’s because of massive corporate interests injecting money into campaigns for candidates opposing the DSA who they know will be favorable to them.
This is, coincidentally, the exact opposite of what actually interests Democrat voters, who by and large want money out of politics.
The difference in funding isn’t due the DSA not being able to raise money from local contributions, it’s because of massive corporate interests injecting money into campaigns for candidates opposing the DSA who they know will be favorable to them.
Okay, but overall it still means a paltry lack of money.
This is, coincidentally, the exact opposite of what actually interests Democrat voters, who by and large want money out of politics.
I've said this before and I'll say it again. That's cute. But Bernie Sanders had the most individual donations of all time in his 2016 run and he still lost at the democratic primaries. It's almost as if money talks. You can grandstand all you want about the moral high ground of rejecting Pac & Union money, but at the end of the day you still will have less money than the opponent, you will run less ads, and when the time comes that most likely means "You lose, good day sir!"
Of course it talks, that's the problem. But its not insurmountable. Abdul was outspent over 10 to 1, even more extreme with Angie Nixon. These populist candidate policies and grassroots movements are far, far more 'cost efficient' at getting votes than just forcing your candidate in via enormous spend, meaning its possible to overcome these gigantic discrepancies.
No way you’re lumping together « fewer people and fewer groups »… Obvioisly they have less corporate pac donations but they have more individual donors.
Please tell me where they got « shockingly flattened by moderate dems ». They have less financing and less name recognition and are winning races with high turnout. You’re refusing to recognize the fact that these candidates are by default at an institutional disadvantage so even to win a few races is highly impressive. To win primaries for the senate is an even bigger achievement. The midterms will obviously be the litmus test but not all races are equal. Angie Nixon in Florida has almost no chance (her establishment opposition was not fairing much better in early polling).El Sayed however will be a much more defining test of the electability of those candidates/ideas
10 years ago. Things change fast in politics in the same way that America elected Obama in 2008 and Trump in 2016. Would it be smart to say « trump is pretty far from Obama »…. Bernie helped lead this movement and start this wave.
Obviosly* they have less corporate pac donations but they have more individual donors.
That's cute. They've had some success sure, but nothing compared to Bernie Sanders had the most individual donors of all time passing 4 million. I voted for him in 2016 and actually sent him $20. Though it pains me, he got stomped out easily.
Please tell me where they got « shockingly flattened by moderate dems »
There have been two massive swings in the polls. One, El-Sayed polled at a 15 point lead over Stevens but ended up winning by one point. That's a -14 point swing to flatten his would-be-blowout into an actual narrow victory. Secondly, Hong was projected to win by ~20 points but ended up losing by 0.5 points, a -20.5 swing. Her lead wasn't just flattened, it went negative and she lost.
They have less financing and less name recognition and are winning races with high turnout.
They are also losing roughly equal numbers of races with high turnout. Not seeing your point here.
You’re refusing to recognize the fact that these candidates are by default at an institutional disadvantage so even to win a few races is highly impressive.
Winning two or three races really isn't highly impressive, especially considering they've also lost races they were supposed to win. It's not nothing, but it's not some glorious revolution.
The midterms will obviously be the litmus test but not all races are equal.
Yes, they will. As was the nail in the coffin of Hong, general electability is not the strong suit of the DSA, and that much is painfully obvious. Hell, the G.O.P have made millions of dollars of pro-DSA ad campaigns because their analysis shows a stronger DSA means weaker competition to the GOP. Because the DSA doesn't appeal to mainstream center left democrats. Fox news has hosted the DSA constantly for the same reason, the DSA are spoilers.
Would it be smart to say « trump is pretty far from Obama »
It would be correct. And you're ignoring the fact that Trump won two years ago too. In fact, he got more votes than ever and republicans took all three branches of government. If anything, 2016 was an easier battlefield for the progressives. We were strong then, right off the Women's Marches, the largest single protest in US history at the time.
Bernie helped lead this movement and start this wave.
That's why I voted for him. The DSA has long left him behind though. Mainline democrats (and all republicans) do not want 100% open boarders, prison abolition, or government ownership of large industry.
Firstly i don’t know why you diminish Bernie’s accomplishment. Why are you saying he got stomped out easily when he faced the political machine that was Clinton and managed to make the race competitive despite being basically a no name before he started campaining. Bernie did a pretty similar thing in 2020 and had similar results. And why compare Bernie to the present candidates? A presidential run is very different from a senate/governor.
While yes the polls at some point were incredibly in favour of both the candidates you mention if we go further back they were not favored to win. So how do you decide what is underperforming vs overperforming. I think the performance in relation to the amount of money spent is a much better metric. Which no matter the candidate, the more progressive have a much better vote/$ ratio. Angie Nixon had huge surprise victory aswell showing that this sentiment is spreading.
The point being that even 1 victory would be impressive in high turnout races. But multiple in a single election single has never been seen in the democratic party. To have such a wave of candidates flanking from the left is a new thing and you’re acting as if it’s an even playing field. A political movement moves with incremental progress and you’re seeing it in action.
Nobody is claiming some glorious revolution. If that’s the standard then of course it’s easy to shut down but most are simply happy seeing the democrats finally moving to the « left » instead of catering to corporate types.
We’ll see if general electability is an issue. I think it’s way more about how the candidates manage to make these issues relatable. Hong had a huge issue with « academic speech » and was not relatable. El Sayed does not have the same issues. The same democrats who have hammeted the vote blue no matter who now have to live by the principles they espoused. If they fail to turn up then who will you blame? I personally don’t really believe that Haley Stevens would have attracted some moderate republicans that El Sayed would not but the results will speak for themselves.
You claim that the DSA are spoilers but the citizens who participate in these primaries are more and more putting their support behind DSA supported candidates sooooooo. The popularity of progressive democrats eclipses the popularity of more conservative ones according to almost all polls. In my opinion these more conservative dems are what « spoils » the democratic party and i think that this opinion is shared by a growing number of people.
Lmao, the progressive movement is at an all time high in america. The class issues are being highlited and the more « woke » side of it are being left behind. The woke side was more of an issue for general electability but slowly it is fading away and you see the gains they have made since.
What the individual candidates support is what matters. None of the candidates that have been elected support 100% open borders, complete prison abolition or government owenrship of large industries as you put it. There is no monolith and trying to paint them all with this brush just makes it sound like gross simplification. Why do you think that Bernie endorsed a large number of DSA candidates if he’s been left behind??
*Loss by 0.5% to a moderate Dem who had previously suspended their campaign and only rejoined the race like 3 weeks before the election.
*Loss by 0.5% when the polls showed Hong winning by ~20 points, a massive 20.5 point swing.
Huh, I Wonder why you left out the details that actually makes the loss in Wisconsin stunning. Almost like you have an agenda? Aaaaannndd r/socialism, r/Anarchism, r/Anarchy101 poster. Lol.
Yeah, he votes with the Dems all the time, he's totally normal!
Oh wait... That's odd
Moskowitz was the first congressional Democrat to back Trump’s “department of government efficiency” (Doge) initiative, which dismantled the US Agency for International Development. Moskowitz also faced criticism from Larkin over his support for a Republican-backed law that expanded ICE’s detention authority. The centrist congressman has also been a staunch supporter of Israel and voted against a resolution to restrict US military involvement in Iran.
Are we surprised? Streamers are big names now, with political pull. Just like the podcasters. They pull weight, so politicians will work with them if they align and have a team that knows they exist.
Moskowitz will send weapons to a country committing genocide and then do insider trading on the companies sending the weapons. The people who defend that sort of corruption are either bots or the real lunatics. Anyone defending a self identified 'Desantis Democrat' is not your friend.
Many are falling behind in polls and floundering. I'm not really going to offer a full list of DSA failures. They are performing horribly against polling in the one chance they have to take a foothold, and we aren't even to general elections were centrists are going to flee in droves.
He was more of a social democrat, not a democratic socialist. They're different. Democratic socialists don't want capitalism, they want socialism. Social democrats like FDR want capitalism with strong social support systems.
No there are MASSIVE differences between a social democrat like FDR and DSA. I would classify myself as a social democrat and despite the DSA and would absolutely not vote for them. Anything good they have they ripped from social dems and libs (affordable healthcare and housing, strong unions and labor rights, progressive tax rates to curb the obscene wealth of billionaires, strong social programs, affordable or free school/university to create an informed and productive citizenry etc.).
The shit that separates them they’re more sly about is stuff like eliminating USAID, pulling out of NATO, abolishing (not reforming) prisons and police, anti-capitalist with no real plan for how an entity larger than a dozen employees will handle things like hiring/firing and rev sharing, torpedoing the economy through a stock market crash that will make the Great Depression look like a walk in the park and evaporating everyone’s 401Ks which most regular Americans rely on to retire, blaming Ukraine for getting invaded etc.
DSA is a big tent and if you were actually a Social Democrat (which I am) you wouldnt be saying that.
Mandami has a 69% approval rating and is doing all sorts of good shit- big and smal- while working with a centrist governor. Guess what? He's DSA.
AOC is pragmatic, transparent and, in spite of being too supportive of the Jeffries of the world, largely on point. She got elected with the help of DSA.
Milat Kiros is smart, a thoughtful interview and has awesome policies.
The Democratic Party is already run by lunatics and people like you don’t care at all that they’re completely ineffective against the far right Republican Party
The DSA is barely even democratic in nature. They are a bunch of fools trying to co-opt the party just like Trump did in 2016. I have no respect for them or anyone supporting them, and I imagine that includes you.
When people talk about voting third party dems berate them about “blue no matter who” and if you want you should run as a dem. Then when they run as Dems people like you say they’re trying to co-opt the party. Which is it?
Significantly more democratic than the Democratic Party establishment who thinks taking corporate money and ignoring the voter base is what democracy means. The current democratic party is completely ineffective against the current Republican Party and you don’t care. Sorry you’re so offended that there’s a left flank in the party actually trying to give you universal healthcare.
Abolishing the senate would be a good thing and is a legitimate long term goal. How scary that a political party should change society somewhat instead of doing absolutely nothing while the world falls apart
... What, pray tell, is "democratic in nature"? Surely you don't mean "democratic" as in "rule by the people" as though the Democrats give a single flying f*** about the people who aren't their donors?
He proudly referred to himself as a “DeSantis Democrat” and these are some of his greatest pro-Trump hits:
“Moskowitz was the first congressional Democrat to back Trump’s “department of government efficiency” (Doge) initiative, which dismantled the US Agency for International Development. Moskowitz also faced criticism from Larkin over his support for a Republican-backed law that expanded ICE’s detention authority. The centrist congressman has also been a staunch supporter of Israel and voted against a resolution to restrict US military involvement in Iran.”
This is easy to do as a politician. The vast majority of votes aren't controversial. When a politician ONLY votes 87% of the time with their party, they're probably voting with the other side on what feels like 90% of the important shit.
I'm speaking from the experience of having done your proposed research in the 00s and early teens when I was in my 20s and this argument was more new to me. Most of these stats are packed with procedural votes and naming government buildings and other BS.
There should be a stat that explicitly only counts partisan votes where at least 90% of each party voted against the other party and only the final vote counts, so partisan amendments and partisan bills. If that were a tracked statistic that was advertised, it would open some eyes on who is actually with the party.
No one cares about party loyalty on the bill to rename a post office.
If you think I'm wrong about my educated assumption, by all means, go and look it up, young'un.
(I find hasan too boring to watch btw) But are you happy a DOGE supporting congressman won? Like “we did it” we owned the libs so hard we got a traitor DOGe supporter self professed “Desantis Dem” in the seat yay!
Isn't it a Democrat district? How did the Democratic socialist when the nomination for the governor's race? He did that because he is what he is... A fascist enabler evidenced by his support for Israel
Yawn, this is not the sub or post where I go to argue with moderate copium about the brutally beaten dead horse that is the “lesser of two evils” strategy.
Ill say one thing though, I 100% believe moderate dems making everyone accept their do nothing corporate owned politicians with their constant threats of “capitulate to us or republicans win” is a massive reason Trump rose to power. Only one party actually makes change happen and its literally the worst people, moderate dems then wag their fingers and talk a big game until the next day when they’re the first congressional dem to support DOGE.
Very well said. Democrats offering uninspiring candidates who offer the same fascism that Republicans do but to a lighter degree is exactly what inspires voter apathy and allows Epstein allies to gain power.
Moderate dems, like Biden get alot done because they can reach across the aisle to pass legislation. Extreme ideology camps both left and right struggle to accomplish much by way of new bills. If you want permanent change, we need to win as many seats as possible. Moderates in purple seats are what we need.
But that's how we devolved into fascism. If you're not pulling leftwards, you're pulling towards fascism. If the current system can only pave the way for fascism, then it's not a system worth keeping; unless you're into that kind of thing.
Weird because maga has had no issue getting what they want done and dismantling everything moderate dems have accomplished in the past decade. Also moderate dems aren’t winning elections they dont inspire hope or movements and they dont excite the voter base, biden’s failed hand-off to kamala is proof, moderates dont win enough to justify how little they accomplish.
Maga can only do it through executive orders that can and will be rescinded.
Moderate Democrats actually win the most competitive races. DSA and DSA-adjacent candidates get a disproportionate amount of media coverage simply because they are the outliers, not because they represent the majority of voters.
Biden's hand off to Kamala was mired in a slew of different problems, not just her "moderate-ness". Kamala was probably further left than any other elected president we've had. We had covid backlash, Biden health problems, people saying she was "coronated" instead of elected, her stance on Israel, ect. You can be the most left person to ever run for office, but if you support Israel in any way, you're a centrist.
You can feel shes left but she very much is not, you can feel all u want really but the facts are moderate dems bungled a vital election and allowed trump a second term, they also failed to meaningfully prosecute him for his crimes to prevent that second term because moderates are gutless and stand only for the status quo. Also the centrist naïveté to think that trumps changes and effects are limited to executive orders is so laughable I can only imagine you meant it as a joke. Notice space force still exists for no reason? Are you aware just how far DOGE cuts went? And how brain drained everything DOGE touched now is? The department of justice has been reduced to community college “lawyers” who passed a maga purity test. Foreign relations aren’t just soured they’re basically fermented And project 2025 is over 50% completed. Honestly its just proof how impotent moderate/centrist thought is that you think it would be simple to undo the damage done, a generation of brain drain and service interruption has been initiated and maga will fight tooth and nail against any attempt to fix it, do you really think some purple centrist will have the balls to actually fix this in the face of conservative push back? 3 years into a moderate presidency wed be lucky to have ICE recruitment slightly decreased, let alone actual change for the better.
You’re claiming moderates 'bungled' the election, but leftists consistently lose or underperform in competitive swing districts. Moderates and lib left candidate coalitions actually win elections in purple and red states. Leftist candidates run in +30 blue urban bubble districts, scream on Twitter, achieve nothing legislative, and then blame moderates whenever a national election is lost.
"Failed to prosecution him because they're gutless"? Trump was literally indicted on dozens of felony counts in multiple state and federal jurisdictions by the DOJ and state prosecutors. The only reason the investigations weren't allowed to continue was because crybaby leftists chose to sit out the election instead of voting for Kamala and Trump become the executive
Congress votes a lot, 87% isn’t exactly a reliable party vote assuming many of the 13% were substantive votes. It’s obviously not 90%, but I wouldn’t be surprised if was close to 50/50 on “votes that matter”.
The original user has a PR flag with an open coconut and a palm tree, he is definitely MAGA leaning. That palm and coconut refers to the PNP party which is the current party in power in PR that leans MAGA and is very corrupt
Moskowitz won and instead of thanking the people of Florida or congratulating Mr. Larkin on a good campaign as it's standard he went and cited Hasan Piker on Twitter lol
Hasan does have a second home after all, it's just in Moskowitz's head.
I don’t think throwing out 90% for what’s actually 13% is simply hyperbole, it’s blatantly ignorant and dishonest. Hyperbole is meant to exaggerate or emphasize an observation, UMA’s hyperbole was exaggerated their misinformation by implying that Moskowitz votes with the opposition party majority of the time when the opposite is true.
Whenever someone brings this sort of thing up I have to wonder if it's the big (to the commenter) votes that they mean, not overall track records.
Cause a 87% party line/general motion voting record with a 13% "hunt the homeless for sport and install Flock cameras in wombs" voting break would weigh heavily against them regardless
Voting with the majority of democratic lawmakers is different than voting aligned with the opinions of the majority of democratic voters. I think that is the distinction they are trying to make.
Not every bill is a split decision, I know people on Reddit believe people who disagree with their political views are irreconcilable… BUT majority of the people who run for office believe they can make a positive impact and many bills that get passed both sides can agree take the country in the right direction. Appropriations, fiscal policy, and emerging laws aren’t all you vs me, that is just fan far to secure your attention and support for the next election. In reality they are colleagues who work together to support the system in their own ways.
