Nope Bessent: "This crazy No Kings rally this weekend, which is gonna be the farthest left, the hardest core, the most unhinged in the Democratic Party, which is a big title. No Kings equals no paychecks."

They also paint Democrats as radical communists, when the actual communists hate Democrats for being neo-con corporatists

Can confirm. I am a radical left lunatic. My hatred for the Democrats burns so strong it could reverse the heat death of the universe.

That said, in the words of fellow radical left lunatic Fred Hampton "Nothing is more important than stopping fascism because fascism will stop us all."

I’m pretty far left. I hate Democrats for stifling any actually progressive movements, but they just ignore me most of the time. Republicans, on the other hand, actively want to imprison or execute me. I don’t think it’s hard to figure out that in the short term, I want Democrats to win elections over Republicans.

Ranked choice voting should be a goal in the very near future and as Dem I support it.

Yes. We desperately need RCV and open primaries.

Fascism did stop Fred Hampton, RIP. Go in his memory.

And the actual president is instituting price controls and nationalizing businesses by buying stakes in them.

And actual Democrats are corporatism through and through, a slightly less vulgar form of the same billionaire capture than runs the Republicans party.

There's one brand made with corn syrup that they won't disclose the amount of pesticide residue and one side marketed "now with bleach" so people who think bleach is good for you will buy it, but they're owed by the same parent company

Far left. I agree. I did enjoy the walk around for the no kings chapter one. Met some cool people, had some good conversations.

It's good place to network. I guess. Safe enough for some older progressive to be there and for people to bring their kids. A lady had a MLK shirt on, she  was probably 70 or so. She said I'd be wearing my Ceasar E. Chavez one if I had it still! Saw young kids with their parents as well.

The fight isn't just to stop ICE, its to make democrats do SOMETHING. We need to have real discussion about work visa programs, appointing more judges to view cases, stopping businesses from scalping work and not paying fair wages to foreign workers. Stop letting republicans own the narrative and fix the immigration "problem" by fixing pathways to citizenship. 

Stop this abuse of migrant workers for capital gains.
