Progressive: *runs on progressive policy* Centrist: *stops progressive policy* The dumbest people on twitter: “LOOK! PROGRESSIVES CAN’T DELIVER”
Mamdani breaking his promise before even becoming Mayor. As Leftists have told us, if you can’t deliver on it, don’t promise it 🤷🏾‍♂️.

Didn't the centrist campaign for the progressive?

There’s not a single example in America or elsewhere of progressive policies being the driver of improving public outcomes.

Mamdani: Here is a list of the progressive, life changing ideas that I will enact if elected. Hochul/Cuomo Dems in Albany: No, we’re going to kneecap you by refusing to raise taxes on the super wealthy because (1) it would hurt our own billionaire donors, and (2) you’re a threat to our power. Fox News: Mamdani is already walking back his campaign promises. I fixed it for you. You’re welcome.

Politics is about both campaigning and governance. On campaigning, theres truth to this critique since voters care mostly about being understood and advocated for. Trump didn’t deliver the wall, but signaling opposition to immigration was enough since it showed he was a fighter for their cause. However when it comes to actual governance, progressives have to take responsibility for passing and implementing and adjusting stuff not just promising and winning elections. If he can’t deliver on something because you couldn’t build consensus, it is still your responsibility. You gain power and popularity by taking responsibility for building coalitions, not complaining about Albany.

Yeah you can only legislate within the context of what’s possible. This is why campaigning on “everything’s free!” is not a legitimate path forward

Yeah, you’re supposed to be able to get support from the people you need to make things happen. That’s literally what politics is. Of course it was a dumb policy so maybe it was an empty promise to get votes from stupid people. That is also what politics is.

any conservative or progressive endeavor should be exactly like a business that doesn’t benefit from government handouts, it has to be sustainable and not reliant on seemingly ethereal magical endownments that ultimately rely on tax payer dollars that pay for directly or pay the interest on money borrowed to enable the endeavor. bloody money doesn’t come from nowhere. big hat no cattle promises and perspectives. Our system at scale worked, unlike the alternatives, but like the alternatives is failing because of sh-t human behavior and abject ignorance; something the alternative has no functional mechanisms to deter or ameliorate. purpose and reason, goals that acknowledge our selfish nature and innate challenges while balancing for the collective good. Most progressives have positions without nuance or recognition of the challenges inherrent to human behavior, particularly among groups/people who look the same and/or have the same religion. Such old world trappings that largely drove strife and bloody war; they play with fire🔥 they don’t understand peoplr at all and thing empathy is the universal justification. Nobody is going to honestly and continually rally around ideas that fail to acknowledge these problems; they will until the deception and reality becomes apparent; at which point an equally radical and antagonistic ideology/cult(or has it already…) will arise or the former/current will brutally put down dissent and the respective boot lickers capitulate to the cult. (like they have throughout history) I feel like i’m being asked to choose between a heavy equipment operator who is a degenerate alcoholic often late for work but is actually able to get things done(still not sustainable in perpetuity) vs one that has little understanding of the operstion of the equipment, it’s maintenance and the role they and the equipment play in executing their part in the aggregate project for it all to come together to not be retardly behind schedule or and absolute failure. two paths to failure, the latter comically in over it’s head with unfeasible, unsustainable promises. Politicans and business are merely a reflection of what is permissible by the society they exist in. The fault is with us? because wr collextively in averagr are a bunch of sh-t bags. iiwii. we’re f-cked.

The amount of people blaming the progressives for not delivering when it was Manchin who blocked them from delivering was so frustrating

It was the progressives that prevented a minimum wage increase from $7.25/hr to $11/hr. A 52% raise! But progressives still blamed Biden. It was the courts who kept stopping Biden on student loan relief. But progressives still blamed Biden…(“with the stroke of a pen”…ugh)

Free bus is not a progressive policy when the federal government is slashing funding for public transit. If anything it’s regressive

Replying to @Press4BC
What don’t you understand about “free busses?” You take that money away (fares) and then the busses break down and can’t run because, well, where’s that money coming from? People want transit systems that work, are clean and are on time consistently. That’s what they care about.

So are you saying Mamdani promised to do something he had zero powers to enact it. That sounds like a Mamdani problem, maybe he should of run on things that a mayor can do.

But leftists keep telling us that if we elect a progressive president that all of our issues will be solved. Cause it’s super easy to govern and the progressive president would be able to pass everything they campaigned on.

Yes, “centrists” have been a long standing scapegoat for “progressive” incompetence. It will work for a while, like it always has, but in the end regular people will realize (once again) that what you claim to want is irrelevant when you’re capable of delivering nothing of value.
Replying to @Press4BC
That’s a lot of words to admit he made a promise he can’t deliver

Governing literally boils down to making decisions to do something and then successfully doing it in the face of opposition. It's the entire job.

Why was he promising things that weren’t going to be in his power to deliver? Sounds like if he wanted a free bus he needed to run for governor instead.

Promising free buses when you don’t control the budget means you can’t deliver, yes.
