Casar: “Progressives are going to be the deliver caucus”

I don’t know who you define as “progressive.”

The progressives of bluesky like me fucking hated him. The pod save America progressives defended him.
November 8, 2026 at 7:14 PM
liberals need to understand that this is why progressives hate them.

this absolute crank needs to stop lapping the progressives in congress.
the massie impeachment articles are remarkable and, especially for the articles related to war crimes and extrajudicial killings, they allege not merely impeachable offenses but crimes under U.S. and international law. massie.house.gov/news/documen...

No, it’s the progressives who got Platner off the ticket.

establishment democrats torturing yakub until he agrees to make them a white obama they can run against progressives in 2028

Progressives on facebook really don't like Chuck Schumer.

That is pure revisionist history.

It wasn't "Pod Save America progressives" who built and shielded Graham Platner's campaign in Maine, and it wasn't "the progressives" who led the push to get him off the ticket.

Receipts attached in case she deletes or blocks:

Progress needs Progressives!

#usaYES and therefore #gopNO

FWIW, my experience was progressives on BlueSky hated him and progressives on Twitter loved him.

Okay, look, two things can be true:

a) progressives generally underperformed, and this continues a trend we saw in 2025.

b) the more progressives succeed in office the more they normalize what is mostly (economically) bog-standard New Deal Liberalism.

we progressives were the ones pointing at the red flags in the first place, where does someone get ideas like this
So to be clear, Schumer is bad for thinking that Janet Mills might be a good senate candidate, but the progressive wing is good for backing a rapist with a Nazi tattoo for the same senate seat despite repeated, multiple red flags
November 8, 2026 at 6:20 PM
Dear Dems: No more "GOP lite."
No to Schumer and Jeffries.
Progressives for Progress!

They could hire newly fired Hollywood progressives to do this.

8. Jonathan Cohn (who consistently opposed Platner) says in his experience Bluesky progressives hated Platner while Twitter progressives loved him.

I pulled 1,920 Bluesky posts to test that. Once you separate self-ID progressives from mainstream libs, progressives backed Platner 80.8% to 19.2%.

are the progressives defending platner in the room with us now
November 8, 2026 at 7:51 PM
I think Schumer has three problems in the leadership contest.

1. He's catastrophically alienated progressives via Zionism and through candidate choices. (summed up in refusing to endorse Mamdani.

biggest blackpill of the past few years for me was realizing that all the cis normie progressives fell for the misinformation campaign instantly. they didn't even realize it was happening because they had never been exposed to any other framing on trans issues
The most maddening thing about the Sensible Moderate Approach to trans rights is that there is (purposefully, imo) no acknowledgement of sheer volume of hateful disinformation propagated about trans people daily.

We face this from religious extremists to billionaires to obsessive journalists.
The incredible thing is we know exactly who did it. In a bizarre series of connections, they were also partially responsible for stoking the anti-lgbtq panic that led to the brutal murders of gay people in Uganda. It was a locally-grown Christian supremacist hate group in deep blue Massachusetts.

Yeah, Platner was supported by some progressives and opposed by others. Trying to make him a victory for progressives is no true Scotsman-ing in annoying fashion
November 8, 2026 at 7:03 PM
Progressives are already moving forward on moving the country forward.
November 7, 2026 at 6:05 AM
Many *progressives*.

Democrats seem to be fine. Pretty sure they're not gonna fire the guy who recruited the first Black senator from MS since 1881
It is intensely frustrating to see so many Democrats foregoing a week of celebration and unity to instead start forming circular firing squads while votes are still being counted.
November 8, 2026 at 3:17 PM
Progressives, YES!
Schumer and Jeffries, no.
November 6, 2026 at 12:09 AM
I only date progressives or socialists btw

• Centrists flipped: 5 major battleground Red Senate seats.
• Progressives flipped: 1 Red Seat in 1 Blue state
• Centrists flipped: At least 30 house seats in Red Districts
• Progressives flipped: zero red house seats*

*Could change but unlikely.

Hard to argue with this, given how thoroughly self-described "progressives" have sold out their "values" for Carney.
I sometimes think PP would have been a better choice. Why? Because he’s a bumbling idiot, and obviously so, so mounting opposition to get him out would not be that difficult.
