Corporate Democrats are ahead of themselves in robbing any Progressive from winning the 2024 Presidential nomination. Just like they robbed Bernie Sanders in 2016 (and 2020).

Biden Signs Legislation To Avert Crisis Of Treating Rail Workers Like Humans + US Workers Are Furious!
Railroads Have Invested Heavily in Congress. They Need Their Payoff in the Senate.
A showdown over a looming railroad strike heads to the Senate floor this week, after a group of progressive Democrats, led by Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., pushed to modify a tentative agreement to include seven days of sick leave. The expanded agreement passed the House 220-206 on Wednesday, and the fight now moves to the Senate, where it remains unclear if there is enough Republican support to overcome a filibuster and send the agreement to President Joe Biden’s desk.

Manchin Wants Deal on Debt, Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid
Joe Manchin, speaking at a conference for CEOs, blames the stimulus checks us plebs received for causing inflation! It couldn’t have been the PPP loans, that were forgiven, or the handouts for the Military Industrial Complex every year! 🙄
FYI, Biden didn’t say anything about protecting Social Security from his own party:
“I will not cut Social Security,” the president said. “I will not cut Medicare, no matter how hard they work at it.”

The significance of the Democratic Socialists of America’s call for US war against Russia until “Ukrainian victory”
The decision by the entire Congressional slate of Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) members and DSA-backed representatives to rescind a letter to Joe Biden calling for peace talks with Russia increases the likelihood of direct conflict between the US and Russia and raises the risk of nuclear war.

What the 2022 Midterm Election Charade Offers Us
That neither the Democrats nor the Republicans are offering anything to alleviate the problems working people face is illustrated by their campaign fear-mongering – the former over “fascism” and the latter over “socialists” and “radicals.” No matter which party dominates the midterm elections, do not expect either will herald in fascism or socialism.

No member of the Democratic Party in Congress would ever challenge the military industrial complex the way [Clare] Daly does.
Not one – not Bernie Sanders, not Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, not Rashida Tlaib. Not one voted against the tens of billions of dollars in arms we are sending to fuel the war in Ukraine. Not one.
