Centrist Democrats rebuke party's left wing
it is incredibly funny how centrist democrats and republicans are both panicking in the exact same ways right now
🪄🛸 Showbiz Sid Oozeley 🪄🛸225they can't even pretend they're not the same thing
Happening Again97It's really gross. Seeing so many "liberals" come out and be just as bad as the corporate democrats in power regarding what happened... What happened to "blue no matter who," eh? Guess that only applies when we're cementing the status quo.
Abby 🐾🐈⬛64Somebody said centrist Dems are republicans with a pride flag and a pro choice bumper sticker. They were spot on.
steviebaby🫡45literally not even bothering to hide it anymore
The Pale Wyrm34That's why they are fighting so hard to censor the Internet.
Ernest Penfold32they’ve been pretty indistinguishable for quite some time now
Lindsey Boylan123It’s almost like there’s very little difference
Harry Turtledove 102There are no centrist Republicans.
Josh Manning18Very telling. I’m enjoying it.
Noor Lovelace8Yeeaaahhhh so all of us screaming about Palestine, trans rights, healthcare, don’t beat the shit out of student protesters/ murder children en masse, AND Covid, were right. We deserve better. We can HAVE better. And anyone who fights against a life better than this, red or blue, is an asshole.
Cassie 🥞🍗 kween, expert opinion giver, supergenius, alpha-sigma♀8less funny when you realize they're all the same person
Hal Duncan5because it's the *centre of power & privilege* those centrist dems are all about, just like the republicans they're shitting themselves over the socialists at the gates in the exact same way because they're cut from the exact same antisocialist cloth
Escargot Fuck Yourself5That’s because they have the same ideology
Seleucid Dreamer3I'm agree that it's absurd to say the parties are *the same* but got dam there sure are lot of fucking Republicans in charge of the Democratic Party
Telk422Is this where I get to say "we are going to win"
Tibbers2Because they've always been one single party: The Capitalist Party
The new centrist Democrat group boosting Polymarket is really just the icing on the cake here.
Shane M Coyle143Their slogan: Vini. Vidi. Vichy.
Brandon Williams105These seem to have so much more gusto punching left than reckoning with MAGA GOP.
Emily Johnson60At least they’re making it clear on where they stand with predatory gambling and trade regulations
Fankoosh52Dem Voters: “Better things are possible!” Centrist Pols: “Wanna bet?”
MB19How do we get their names?
Josh16Quite the reminder that they’re totally fine with everything Trump is doing. They’re all in bed together.
Regime Accountant, CPA ☠️🎢785 of them are only candidates lmfao
Big Ol’ Mush55Republicans gleefully crowing over mass deportations of people into war zones, meanwhile…
Corinne Green40if radlib dems could stop starting new multimillion dollar thinktanks every week they'd probs be better at consolidating power? but they can't even give up ass-to-mouthing pac/iec/ssf/c3/c4/campaign/etc cash down each other's throats in a strategist centipede sitch long enough to do actual policy
Jason Karsh26This RT sounds like a high-pitched fart in a glass elevator.
The Almighty Tallest23There's just no discernable political or ideological argument anywhere to the left of, like, Ron Paul for why "legalized gambling on everything" is good. It's like having a Congressional Crack Cocaine caucus.
ᴋʟᴀᵾs21They’re all the same as Fetterman as far as I’m concerned.
🔞Senor🔞18bro, while you were busy posting about the burgersoy prawn you missed these elite grifters
FKFTSH17Fun fact: the Democrats subreddit on Reddit doesn't allow any discussion of Democratic Socialists. Any mention of Mamdani has been banned for years. You can, however, praise MTG, because Democrats hate progressives more than they do literal QAnon Republicans.
Lance Hartzler15You don’t hate centrist Dems enough
♡Kate 🇵🇸11The democrats are going to become REALLY existential about things the moment a bunch of Che Guevaras eventually pop up. 👀
Here come four months of centrists attacking the left with far greater existential fury than they ever aimed at Trump (because they prefer Trump and helped him win):
hoinks182"we're capitalists, not socialists, but all you socialists better vote for us, or else you want trump to win!"
Woj52Starting this group at the exact moment that Elon Musk steals over a trillion dollars from our 401ks without any of us ever having any right to keep our money is the kind of brilliant foresight I expect from this group.
Spanish for The Niño40I am not at all a capitalist. What an embarrassing thing to be proud of.
JD Kagan25We are not capitalist -everyone under 50
Aura20I would respectfully ask that you not refer to them as centrists. Relative to all other democracies worldwide, the Democratic Party is a regressive conservative party which is centre right. The 🇺🇸 does not, as it happens, have an Leftist political party: we only have the centre right Democrats, the
Primary Maria Cantwell (respectfully)19maybe they should start their own party
Shaaloani Roadhead70They're going to waste all their energy punching left, lose huge style, blame it on everyone but themselves and be perfectly happy with this result because, and I'm going to keep saying this, it's easier to profit off sickness than cures.
Sam68The democratic senator from New Jersey and two prominent democratic governors were revealed to have been attending billionaire sociopath and Epstein associate Peter Thiel’s social club last week and you didn’t hear a peep from these people
Big Ol’ Mush62It’s funny because the same crowd wants to “lower the temperature” and avoid divisive politics embodied by “the groups”
Cal & Kiira Comix59"We must reach across the aisle and work with the fascists who propose death camps. It's the only way america suvives." Leftists: what about no death camps Democrats: Look we WANT the death camps don't ruin this for us
Anna Phylaxis52I mean, they say it directly. They are capitalists, and capital is what they serve, and capital is what they protect. Not anything as insignificant as voters or citizens.
Jamie Roberts39I wonder why we’re seeing more institutional back against Mamdani, Lander, Chevalier, and Valdez than against the “progressive” “anti-zionist” with the SS totenkopf tattoo?
Andy Vitek39I would like to take this opportunity to drop an extremely smug 'I told you so' to the various anti-electoralism leftists who have yelled at me over the years about how the inherent inability to influence the Democratic party. 3 incumbents in a deep blue state go down and you have their attention.
daryl "fast casual" b 🏳️⚧️23gonna be so cool when they focus so hard on punching left that they lose in the midterms, or eke out a narrow margin and then do nothing with that because they want to appear reasonable to the republicans
Eric Ravenscraft13honestly, if Democrats paid me an 8-figure sum to brainstorm the best, fastest way to lose primaries, i don't think i could come up with something better than "you know the billionaires that made your PlayStation cost $1k so they could make a chatbot that can't count? we're on 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 side"
the abbot of unreason (an archaeologist)11like, seriously, argue with this right now without simply saying that these specific centrists aren't important (true, not the point) bsky.app/profile/eliv...
The following corporate centrist Democrats signing a "promise to America" is exactly the problem we're talking about with centrists. No such organizing when Trump won in 2016 No such organizing after the Jan 6 Insurrection No such organizing after Trump won in 2024
Qasim Rashid, Esq.85But progressives win on values Democratic Party base voters care about and suddenly SOUND THE ALARM IT’S AN EMERGENCY! Centrist Dems fight their own base way harder than they fight actual MAGA fascists. It's absurd. Vote them out, too.
titubasrevenge.bsky.social11On top of that, the Mamdani back candidates have a platform of things we’ve been asking for for decades and all other countries have now. Things like universal healthcare, free college, free universal daycare, etc. These are things that even the Democrats didn’t get done. Time for a change.
Craig R. Brittain9It's a loyalty pledge. No decent political leader in history has ever made anyone sign a loyalty pledge, no decent business leader makes people sign NDAs, but the oligarchy in the US does both on a regular basis. The king of loyalty pledges is Donald Trump - king of NDAs is Elon Musk.
Christopher Murray6This is why we lose, my friend. The same type of hand wringing, milquetoast Karens that got us to this point in the first place.
Portland DSA27Janelle Bynum (D-OR) signed on to this reactionary pledge.

Jonathan-FL #HumanRightsForEVERYONE2READ this entire Thread ‼️ [there's more detail AND the villains are named] SUPPORT the PROGRESSIVE Democrat in EVERY Primary. www.trackaipac.com/endorsements
Also referring to Establishment Dems as 'Social Dems' is a pretty obvious tell. Trump is referencing the Socially Liberal, Fiscally Conservative centrist motto here and he's right! Those are not Democrats. They're Republicans running as Dems in districts with lots of blue voters.
Josh Sternberg11i read this as someone who understands politics through bumper stickers. which is a funny and horrible thing to think of coming from the president of the united states.
jesse, 372I hate to do textual analysis on a Trump post, but I thought the “social dems” part was saying that the DSA types might look like or claim to be social democrats but they’re communists
The #BrokenTimes is so desperate to devalue the Mamdani victories they lead with the awful Suozzi as their poster-boy "moderate" and end with the awfuller Yang. Sad. Centrist Democrats Rebuke Party’s Left Wing: ‘We Are Capitalist, Not Socialist’ www.nytimes.com/2026/06/26/u...
WeirwoodTreeHugger53Andrew Yang isn't even a Democrat. He was one of the people that started that stupid centrist party no one cares about.
Barbara Rybolt 🐸13As long as Dems continue to divide the party with this stupid capitalist/socialist conversation, they will find out what Capitalism really is. It is definitely not benign!
Hormuz Moose in a Caboose9Infighting only benefits the fascists (shrug emoji) Feckless Dems
Matunos4Tom Souzzi who lives at C Street, run by Christian nationalist group The Family, for below-market rent… that Tom Souzzi?
itsallmental22.bsky.social2Get with the program, old timer Dems. Your time has passed.
Life with Dogs1Suozzi needs to retire. I'm sick of these so-called centrist dems. They are corporate dems being bought by donors.
