    Listen to progressives, get progressive enthusiasm.

    Democrats have had it backwards for so long, demanding that progressives must demonstrate more decades of unearned fealty before the party will consider listening to them.

    Look what happens when they put the horse before the cart for once.

      I don’t need to be that guy, but I think we can thank Joe.

      That man has been around for decades, championing neoliberal trash easily for the first two thirds. It’s taken someone like him being wrong over and over and over, getting up again, and making better decisions the next day.

      Thanks, Joe.

      It’s ironic that all these new lovers of geopolitics that hate Joe for his Israel stance over the years also refuse to consider American politics. Joe’s only doing what the American Empire has been working towards for a century. The fact he’s pushed back at all is incredible. This isn’t “gay marriage is a good thing” or “black people should use fountains” — the existence of Israel and western influence in that area is possibly worth trillions of dollars. Joe’s listening, he just knows more than us. Obviously.

        And the decision to step aside for his country to boot. Admiration abound for demonstrating true leadership there, and overall.

          What I was referencing really, but his entire fall into mostly progressive policies has been a kind of crazy sight. Like how’d we get to Walz? This feels like a Henry Wallace pick to me. Crazy.
