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.
From your lips to the Flying Spaghetti Monster’s ears
I think most angry democrats are actually looking for the DSA (Democratic Socialists of America).
Here is their platform:
Does that “base” bribe the politicians? No? So why should they care?
“Livid with rage” would be the more accurate description.
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?
Then kick them out, we need some newer and more competent leaders in charge
The Republican base is angry, too. Everybody’s angry.
Our parties are not concerned, they are making a FORTUNE. Openly, they don’t even bother to hide it any longer.
angry doesnt quite cover it.
It would be an astounding change in policy if they were.
I’m surprised the magazine couldn’t find the answer. But of course it is a shill for lib views anyhow.
Yeah, it’s really unfortunate the Atlantic is not as good these days
Nope.

Sounds like an attitude problem in the electorate. Do they want republicans to win? It is selfish to think that politicians should earn your vote. I mean, that’s some elementary school level conception of democracy. Grow up already.
