The Democratic Party is once again in the wilderness. Donald Trump won not only the presidential election but the popular vote. The scale of short-term and long-term harm that is about to be unleashed on our communities, our country, and our planet is genuinely difficult to comprehend. To work our way out of this hell, it should be clear that Democrats need to chart a new path.
Dems are still out in the woods, looking for their spine. They lost it decades ago.
Fuck the Democrats. They are what got us in this mess.
go lick windows, the Republican are communists and Democrats Republicans, there is no true Democrats, it’s a lesser of 2 fuckin evil and both should be extinct, fuck your money
dems can‘t and won‘t. they serve the ruling class as well. we have to stop pretending they are on our side, and start taking care of ourselves.
No. Bernie neutering activist energy by re-directing it back into the party is exactly how we got here.
He’s also advocating for continuing to arm right-wing extremists, and has turned into a warhawk. Fuck Bernie.
I know he was late to condemning Israel, but I thought he had gotten on board. Or is this about something else?
It’s not the path (although that could use a change), it’s the candidates. I didn’t have as much of a problem with Harris as the lot of you, but I acknowledge the problems with Harris. They might have been solved if she had a full primary to prove herself out first, but now we’ll never know.
Democrats need to get past the “next one up” mentality and look for a candidate that will resonate with these voters, even if that person hasn’t put in the time and lines up all the donors as the “next one up”. (Looking at you, Gavin…)
If there had been a primary she wouldn’t have had a chance at winning. They didn’t have one specifically because of that fact.
If there had been a primary, then Bernie might’ve run, and he probably would’ve won the nomination this time. The DNC couldn’t let that happen.
