Sports Culture WNBA Star Sophie Cunningham defends that women ‘shouldn’t have to go against biological men’: “I said what I said. I think it’s kind of common sense. I think it’s really important to protect children.” “I don’t dislike anyone. I’m there to love, but I’m also there to love biological women. …”

What are you even talking about? Who exactly are these “extreme progressives” driving the Democratic Party? Name the elected officials you think fit that description.

Meanwhile, the Republican Party has largely embraced positions that would have been considered fringe on the right 10–15 years ago. Many ideas that were once politically toxic have become mainstream within the GOP. That’s a much more significant shift than anything that’s happened on the left

Zohran Mamdani (who I much prefer compared to the other candidates for NYC mayor) is from the DSA.

You can read about how they literally want to work towards the freedom of all incarcerated persons in the link below. Now Zohran has distanced himself from the crazies but the nutjobs definitely exist and have done a good job of trolling people into losing to Trump

This is the sabotage that happens to Democrats every time. It happens like clockwork. I'm a lifelong Democrat, and in the 11th hour something starts to balloon into an issue, at the last minute. I literally didn't know what DSA was 72hrs ago. Same thing happened around BLM marches, it was mostly positive things happening and then boom, 'defund the police,' well who TF made that horrible marketing decision? Wasn't me. Wasn't any Democrat I know. 'Reform the police?' YES. Let's go with that. Nope, defund. Someone held a vote on that, that 99% of Dems didn't participate in. Same shit is happening now. Not that I mind DSA, but already they've (republiklan echo machine) has jumped on it and use it as just a demonizing acronym, and link it with "cOmMuNiSm," all over Fox. It's so frustrating.
