Some Democratic politicians are very frustrated by progressives who “want what we want when we want it,” but they fail to acknowledge that what we want is to keep people from dying. A bit of impatience is legitimate at such a time as this.

This is Obama's favorite go to - we must be patient even if it takes decades. Fuck that patience crap. Are the wealthy patient? Never.

Those same Democrat politicians also seem to be ignoring the simple fact that, despite his having relied on the left to have been elected, Biden has not actually handed ANY olive branches AT ALL to the left - in his cabinet, his stated policies or anywhere.

It amazes me how these politicians say the ideas are to big or to expensive. Though they must realize some big changes are necessary in guaranteeing that our country has limitless possibilities.

Yeah but if the GOP stays in power by scaring voters into believing that Progressives are going to destroy America then more people are going to die....YOU can't force people to accept social programs that they have to pay for with their money just because it's the RIGHT to do.

Also that we don’t want it for ourselves, we want it for others and the planet.

Listen to LBJ, not known for being a far left radical:
Look at how this #Democrat is challenged *for helping Black & poor folk!?!* and how he responds. He invokes the movement work. The reality is we must pressure every Congressperson to fight for us harder than even this. #ForceTheVote #Organize
