They still haven’t learned from their mistakes in 2016.
I don’t think they’ve quite caught up with how the Republicans played dirty and stole the election win in 2000.
They know, they see themselves as controlled opposition of the oligarchy, and fighting under their leadership is by design doomed to fail. But don’t blame me, I voted for Kodos.
What election did they win in 2000?
They’re still trying to court republicans, when they should be going for non-voters.
People are reacting to the headline, but the article is basically the opposite of what most people assume. This is The Atlanic. Their problem is that the Democrats aren’t doing enough austerity.
Tbf, the US is heading towards a debt crisis. However, the reason for that is because of the absurdly bloated military budget and pointless adventurism, while the article frames it entirely in terms of “taxes are too low and we spend too much on social programs.” How are the Democrats supposed to win without promising the voters anything? This is never addressed. But that’s apparently the lesson the author thinks they should learn. Run on austerity, if you somehow manage to win, prioritize the debt - and then when they inevitably lose the next election because everyone’s lives got worse, the Republicans will have more money to play with to fund things like ICE and the Iran War.
It’s nonsense. Winning means promising QoL improvements and following through on them. Yeah the debt is a problem, but that’s exactly why military cuts are necessary. Trying to solve the debt problem just creates a political problem, it’s the sort of thing to worry about once you’ve already secured power.
That’s very well said. The bottom line is Democrats’ entire theory of political power is backwards. They need to demonstrate value to get political power. But instead we have Jefferies and Schumer who whine about not having political power so they can’t demonstrate value.
Most of the Dnc just needs replaced. And a lot of voters are working on it.
Illinois is looking like we have a nice un corrupt candidate to replace dicky durbin for his senator seat.
Juliana. She had no pac or aipac donations.
She has stocks but said she would sell them all. (We will see).
But either way. A good step in the right direction.
I was shocked but so happy that Raja didn’t win. Dude had so many crypto bros bankrolling him.
They aren’t dumb, they just have different priorities than you do. Once you come to terms with that, you’ll see things differently.
They all have the same boss. And it ain’t us.
What agenda?
This one. https://democrats.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/2024-Democratic-Party-Platform.pdf
Its usually called a platform.
The one where we’re going to give out tax credits for starting a small business? Yeah that’ll fix it. 🙄
That’s the thing you zeroed in on, eh. Okay.
It’s one of the few things they talked about during the campaign. I think that platform needed an update before the 2024 election, and it’s completely a throwaway at this point.
For funsies here’s the RNC platform for 2024. It’s . . . different.
Wouldn’t say I’m a fan.
Ok, sure. Can we purge the warmongering party of rapists and pedophiles, then focus on rebuilding?
Trying to renovate the loungeroom while the kitchen and bedrooms are on fire.
No, because they have to rebuild first in order to be able to accomplish that purge.

I totally get it, you were just following orders. There was no alternative but to vote for a genocider in order not to have an even worse genocider, who finally got in power and let the genocide continue at the exact same pace as before until there was nothing to bomb anymore.
Let’s be honest here, Americans are the ones suffering the most from trump’s presidency. The rest doesnt really matter, they can die for all I care.
