       First I get all these push polls about Jefferies, Torres and other moderate democrats ... now these same dems are going on liberal(tm) podcasts like Miadas touch and Legal AF. Mostly talking about how they are "fighting Trump" which is nice. That is very nice and good I suppose. You know, it's better than nothing. Which is what they were doing before. **eyes narrow**

       I have a search for the names of major politicians who represent my area on YouTube so I find out fast if they decide to show up on little shows. These two generally do not do podcasts, and I consider that a missed opportunity. But how about casting the net a bit wider?

       @ben They are doing things. They have been doing a lot but not talking about it. The famous Liberal tendency to not want to risk anything. It seems like they are still doing the same legal actions, which are important, but also talking about them which could make it more impactfulHowever, this is a baby step.I just find it funny after all of the paranoid polls they sent out two weeks ago that were like "please don't primary me please"

       @futurebird @ben Hakeem's sending the push polls to the wrong neighborhood, it seems.  I will stand in line as long as I have to to vote against him if someone decides to primary Jeffries.

       @serverlessaoife @ben The poll was about his job as leadership, they did, in fact, target it correctly. Did you get push polls?

       @serverlessaoife @ben I think they have been deeply shaken to discover that their district members aren't just "mad at Trump" (well obviously, duh) but also mad at Democrats.

       @futurebird @ben Nope, nothing and I've been in his district like eight years or so now.

       @serverlessaoife @ben When you find someone to primary him with let me know. I think we need to clean house around greater NY. I'm still in the research stage.

       I don't think these podcasts are super popular in the south bronx so I don't know how much it'll help Torres. He needs to go on radio if he's trying to seem less distant. Or maybe come to the street fairs? Of course those are also places where people might yell at him.

       @futurebird @ben I'd vote for Chi Osse in a heartbeat if he goes for it.

       @futurebird @ben There was a small push after Zohran won this district pretty easily to portray it as just because of gentrification, but walking around my neighborhood in the lead up to the election it's not the transplant hotels taking over the neighborhood where the Zohran signs were.   There were signs all over long-term residents' homes.  Nothing for Cuomo.

       @serverlessaoife @ben I'm sorry but I'm sick of being called "a liberal elite" when I am a school teacher. Where is my driver and hamptons house? That line is such BS.

       @futurebird by "fighting Trump" do they mean that in the Mark Carney sense of "doing whatever he asks"?

       @futurebird I’d like to hear them talking about, “fighting Chump,” less, and see a lot more of them, you know, actually FIGHTING TRUMP. Like, for real…

       @futurebird @serverlessaoife @ben they love to point fingers at non-existent social classes, the same way they love to lie about who they are with self-contradictory terms like "anarcho-capitalism", "national socialism", or "democracy in capitalism".

       @futurebird @serverlessaoife @ben HK sees the world through the eyes of putting the Democrats back in the driver's seat - and that requires picking up more than a surprise win in the tony exurbs of Westchester County.  From HK's perspective, the far-left has made a shambles of his efforts to unite the Democrats.  But the Dems are polling horribly. People like us, we're not the Liberal Elites.  We're the Progressives he hates.

       @futurebird @serverlessaoife @ben Yes, but you're educated and thoughtful (at least based on your posts here).What could be more elite?

       @futurebird @serverlessaoife @ben The status quo is not going to hold.(The status quo sits on fossil carbon. One way or another, fossil carbon extraction is going to stop.)People have not necessarily figured this out, but they have figured out that they're big mad at the efforts to prevent change to the status quo. And the Democratic Party is absolutely a party of the status quo. (Like any other political party, pretty much.)
