  • Harris was and is still a terrible candidate. No one likes her, And no one is going to vote for a former attorney general and lawyer from California. Not a chance.

    Newsom is great for California, but most of the country doesn’t like California’s politics so he’s a hard sell even without his corporate background.

    I really wish the Democratic Party would stop telegraphing their already decided candidates that you will be allowed to vote for. This is why Kamala Harris lost, why people didn’t like Biden, and this is why people didn’t like Hillary.

    The DNC leadership hasn’t given the people a true primary with viable likable candidates for well over 20 years. None of the candidates had any good policies that resonated with people, they’re just milquetoast corporate centrists who want to keep everything the same and not address any of the problems that people actually face.

    Obama was just a fluke that they eventually manipulated into compliance.


















  • Dems have to be very smart about how they move forward. They can’t stoop to the level of breaking laws that intentionally harm the American people, but I swear to God, if a Democrat says some bullshit about reaching across the aisle, then **we’re fucked.**

    If the system was working as expected, it would be fine to work with republican colleagues across the aisle. But since the system is fucked right now, there’s no reason to capitulate and work together with fascist who are destroying the government from the inside in exchange for corporate donations.

    Unfortunately, until campaign finance laws And the consequences of citizens United are fixed, there really is no moving forward. As long as corporations are allowed to legally exist as people, and free speech is equated to money, corporations can afford to buy politicians both sides of the aisle in every race. They get to decide who gets more money based on who will support the policies that favor them.

    The Democratic Party has long been the party of neoliberalism exiting solely to represent corporate interests. Their defense of the status quo is essentially keeping the money flowing into their campaign for reelection every election cycle.

    Everything they do to actually help people as in consequential and changing those facts and simply appears to be doing some marginal good. It doesn’t functionally change the issues in the broken system.

    When people say the Democratic Party has a problem with optics or communicating what they actually do for the people it’s only half right. They just don’t have the backbone to spew all of the lies and bullshit as readily as the Republican Party Because their constituents, at least in the democratic cities, have a halfway decent education and won’t believe blatant lies. They know they can’t get away with it so their messaging is just as half assed as the progressive policies they pretend to give a shit about.
