When you abandon your base the way Jamaal Bowman did, you get run out of your district by your foes.
Thanks for letting us know that, Jamaal. From this point on, progressives like you should be ignored by anyone who calls themselves leftists.
The Progressive Caucus is fucking gutless part 70
So, Jamaal Bowman got arrested for protesting the so-called "voting rights" bill on Thursday by the same Capitol Police he allowed to be funded eight months after he voted present alongside AOC and Rashida Tlaib. What a grandstander.
Force the Vote one year on
It’s now been a whole year since an effort to get House progressives to use their leverage to withhold their votes for speaker unless Nancy Pelosi promised a floor vote on Medicare For All officially collapsed when it was the right flank of the Democratic Party who withheld its support for the beleaguered speaker instead.
Lest you think that this was the only time in 2021 that this nonsense from the Progressive Caucus, let me remind you of the other stuff that happened.
Those fuckers spent more time propping up police--the Capitol Police to be more specific--giving more money to Israel after that country committed atrocities in the spring and increased the funding of the military industrial complex after it lost the war in Afghanistan.
Their eviction moratorium fiasco was nothing but a giant PR stunt. Five months after it expired, Congress still has no plans on voting to impose a new eviction ban.
There it is! Fraud out in broad daylight. Anyone who still buys their bullshit is now just a cheerleader.

What have Democrats delivered that Republicans didn't with Covid? You don't think the GOP would dump the vaccines at corporate drug stores, allow evictions, cut benefits, with no national testing?
Nobody is buying this. Dems have done nothing on Covid except further divide us https://twitter.com/cit_uprising/status/1455740243601240064?s=20
A second Trump term with Mitch McConnell still running the Senate would have yielded the same results but in retrospect may have gotten a lot more people back in the streets.
Bowman is straight up lying because the Democrats have done anything but deliver. Where's our extra $600? Where's Medicare For All? Hell, where is the public option Biden was behind last year? What about a UBI?
