I read a Reddit (through RDX mind you) post the other day that included the Who we serve page from the democrats’ website. The user noted that men were not on that list and pointed it out as on of the reasons Kamala Harris had lost. Meaning the Democratic Party should pander to the white young men demographic as well.

I keep seeing this sentiment over and over again on social media. And I can’t help but make the analogy to the “All lives matter.” as opposed to “Black Lives matter.” Am I wrong to think this? I am not from the United States. Please don’t bite my head off as this is no stupid questions.

    I kinda thought they would learn from Obama’s success in promoting hope and change, but no, they are right back to trying to peel off Republican voters instead of motivating the unengaged voters like he did.

      That wasn’t success for them, it was almost their deathknell.

      If Obama had appointed progressive leadership in 2008 shit would be a lot different and Bernie would likely be leaving his second term right now.

      The people running the DNC retain power when a moderate Dem wins because they’ll stay the course and appoint the same DNC leadership.

      They retain power when a republican wins because they vote for their own leadership then.

      The literal only way they can lose is if a progressive becomes president and doesn’t decide to ignore the DNC like Obama did.

      That’s why they’d rather have trump than someone that wants to ban fracking.

      The DNC isn’t fighting fascism, it’s just the left boot.
