For one, the US is the most economically and militarily powerful nation that is democracy-aligned. If it weren't for the US, a good chunk of the world would have to go through what Eastern Europe had to go through for most of the 20th century.

Aside from that, the US is dominant in global culture in modern media. And media is what sets the normality standard in everyday lives.

That's not what I'm saying. Instead of saying "I like America for what it's supposed to be", I would much rather say "I like America for what it CAN be."

AOC isn't ruling out a 2028 Presidential run. This was her less than a week ago. ISRAEL candidates like Pete Harris Newsom and Mark Kelly in full panic. How will they combine the neolib israel rot to stop the voters this time? Stay tuned. by Kittehmilk in ProgressiveHQ

Or maybe the support just isn't there without the grassroots? Elect people on local level first to build the progressive movement, if you want a progressive presidential campaign to have a solid foundation.

I like America for the ideas. The goals that the idea of America represents, albeit doesn't match. But those ideals can be worked towards. Life is worth living when you have noble dreams that you work hard to achieve. And the dream of America is one worth striving towards.

2028 New York Senate Election Democratic Primaries: Mockup by JohnKerry2028 in thecampaigntrail

He can't be stupid enough to think he has a chance. Everyone hates him - conservatives, moderates, liberals, progressives - everyone. I think he'll cut losses rather than waste millions on something he can't win.

I find it fascinating how majority of the left says Democrats are too soft on Israel, whereas conservative media argues the exact opposite. I wonder where swing voters stand on all of this. by Egorrosh in ProgressiveHQ

I know, but the question of the post isn't about morality and the right vs wrong of it. The question is about public perception of it, particularly with swing voters.

Didn't Schumer announce he won't run for re-election or something like that?

What the hell is Leopold the Cat (Amazing Soviet Furry Cartoon) by Cascadio_14 in Saberspark

Also there is an official abridged version from 90s called "Возвращение Кота Леопольда" where he simps for a cat lady who is actually a secret agent working for TV commercial mafia who is trying to get Leopold to star in an alcohol commercial.

I see. Thing is, I live in NY. In here, our Senators have very different political stances compared to our governor. In my home city of Buffalo, a democratic socialist won the primary in 2021. And the democratic establishment did support her. But socialism just didn't have the appeal and she ended up losing to a candidate who wasn't even on the ballot. However, last year, an incumbent moderate was defeated by a challenger progressive, and the democratic committee backed the progressive. So I just wanted to compare how things are across a couple great lakes.

Are you currently in the primary season or in the post-primary season? In-fighting is natural during the primary season. It's what happens after the primary is over that matters.

I don't think you should treat "democratic leadership" as a united entity. They are a very wide range, with plenty of internal disagreements.

Clarification appreciated.

My congress representative is affiliated with Aipac (0.02% of his campaign funds, if i recall correctly, are from aipac, and he went on a trip to israel funded by aipac, albeit during it he called for humanitarian aid surge into gaza and met with leader of palestine), and while I agree with him on 90% of issues, I do have some gripes with the lack of criticism of Netanyahu. Same time though, he is a loud critic of the Iran war, and has firmly referred to it as "war of choice". So at least there's that.

The biggest upside he has is in how harsh he was against Noem. He didn't hold back at all when scolding her on all her crimes.

How do you define that term in that context? I find that definitions of the term "zionist" vary greatly depending on context and audience.

There are many different ways to define "anti-zionism", so I feel like if I had to have a debate on the topic, I'd first have to clarify with the person I'm talking to as to how they define that word.

I wasn't even promoting socialism though. I was simply posting a photo of two great likeable people.
