Weird how these progressive candidates keep having very high approval ratings while the moderates/secret Republicans get much lower approvals. Maybe we need to pick more of the progressive candidates.
And it’s getting harder to distinguish. I mean… look at Jasmine Crockett, since Mamdani’s win, liberals have started cosplaying as progressives. You can tell, because the only thing they do is point out the problems, but never propose a solution, while people like Bernie and Mamdani didn’t stop with pointing out “healthcare and housing are expensive”, they ran on actual solutions like medicare and rent-freezing.
If I had a dollar for every time a Republican friend told me, “how are we going to pay for these things” with it acknowledging the progressives have solutions for that.
Meanwhile, they didn’t bat an eye at the I.C.E. budget.
Or the record setting defense budget

Ok how does a mayor solve cost of living and medical issues. I’m not American do Mayors there have special powers?
they can’t directly. but indirectly they can have local tools to reduce costs. foremost is to increase supply. other ways would be tax credits/abatements, city-sponsored clinics, etc.
they can’t solve it, but they can reduce costs. the problem, however, is often such programs are politically very unpopular and the voters tend to get bent out of shape over their ‘unfairness’.
Mamdani ran on making the buses free [at point of use, in case someone felt the need to argue this], creating city owned groceries stores to close food desert gaps and provide competition to keep prices down at private stores, and doing something to stop landlords forcing people out of their rent controlled apartments.
Most of which is within a mayor’s power
Bernie ran on medical issues, Zohran ran on cost of living and housing. https://www.zohranfornyc.com/platform
Nah bro we can pivot right and get moderates. Please bro just one more drift to the right I swear bro, we’ll get the moderate republicans this time!
What if we became republicans? Then they’d have to vote for us!
Checkmate progressives!
Turns out people actually do like it when your policies are aimed at helping them do better, as opposed to robbing them of what little they have left.
So, what you’re saying is Newsom for president? Hillary?
I’m joking. You must want Biden!
Alright mom, back to Facebook…

I think you forgot a /s and your downvoters seem to need it.
At least, that’s what I hope, because that way your comment is a nice joke.
Slight Progressive and liberal candidates are out preforming far left Progressive in majority of the races.
You can show your work on this right?
examples? from, you know, actual life?

You clearly feel super strong about this which is very strange. Point out some candidates and you can compare how much they beat expectations vs how much the liberals beat expectations even in red districts they were suppose to lose.
I’m guessing you listen to “progressive” pundits who are actually mask on tankies.
