    Not that I can tell. Establishment Dems do nothing but disappoint. How bad at your job do you have to be to lose to Trump?

    I think most angry democrats are actually looking for the DSA (Democratic Socialists of America).

    Here is their platform:

    • https://platform.dsausa.org/foreign-policy/

    Does that “base” bribe the politicians? No? So why should they care?

    I’m surprised the magazine couldn’t find the answer. But of course it is a shill for lib views anyhow.

    The Democratic Party is a honey trap to capture and neutralize progressive policies and politicians, and to make sure the “Overton Window” of American politics never moves left. The leadership runs cover for Republicans because they have the same donors and the same agenda. How many times do they need to invent some mechanism to allow them to steal defeat out of the jaws of victory for it to form a clear composite picture of collaboration?

      Maybe, but you’ll notice how the Republicans were able to take over their party and turn it into exactly what they wanted; a loony tunes racist circus. Don’t see why Democrats can’t do the same.

        Because it’s a “good cop bad cop” routine

          Get enough platners and AOCs through primaries and the squad becomes a battalion. The Overton window will move if the people vote for it often enough.

          Just like how gay marriage tipped over 50% popularity and suddenly is became constitutional.

    “Livid with rage” would be the more accurate description.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
