Suozzi is a staunch supporter of Israel and is leaning into his pro-Israel bona fides. His opponent, Republican candidate Mazi Pilip, also has pro-Israel credentials: She served in the Israel Defense Forces. On Tuesday, Suozzi bucked President Joe Biden and Democratic Party leaders when he announced his support for a House Republican bill that would give additional assistance to Israel.

Buy both sides and you'll never lose.

"Moderates" and republicans agree on a lot of stuff, that's why they both hate progressives more than anything else.

Moderates (the Democratic party) punch left while running only on the premise that they are better than Republicans. The result is that we have slid further and further to the right. This has been the last 40 years. They must unapologetically embrace leftist solutions in their platform to shift us back, but that would be problematic for the corporate overlords that control both parties. The neoliberal notion that change must be exceedingly slow is such hogwash and only benefits those in power.

FDR wanted M4A 80 years ago...

Moderates said he had to wait for his second term to do something so big, he got elected again so they still opposed it and then worked with Republicans to set term limits and get rid of him.

80 years later and our "most progressive president in living history" is saying that we need to wait longer for M4A, but most of the time tries to ignore it.

I don't understand how people try to claim were not sliding right, it's been happening longer than we've been alive. Almost even longer than Biden has been alive.
