“Unfortunately,” Geevarghese lamented, “Democratic leadership is failing disastrously to meet this urgent mandate. Ahead of tonight’s forum, the DNC is actively working to silence rank-and-file Democratic activists and base voters calling for a ban on dark money in primaries and the rejection of corporate funding. In a last-minute move, they shut the event off from the public and even deliberately shared the wrong address for where grassroots supporters are allowed to gather.”
How can anyone defend the DNC at this point?

I know you’re not new to lemmy.
lol true ✌️
Because the alternative is trump and there is no legitimate 3rd option.
This would have been valid 3 months ago, but now elections are over. THIS is the time to complain and look for an alternative, so that we don’t get caught pants down in 2 years
Nail on the head. We need to gear up for the next fight, and something has to change. I’m almost at the point of registering Republican so I can vote in the primary and possibly help shape the Republican party to be more progressive. I feel like that might be less futile than trying to change the DNC.
Hey, this propaganda is now 3 months out of date.
What’s the new Boogeyman to excuse selling your country out to billionaires that consistently take away your rights?
Trump isn’t running for DNC chair.
Though party leadership would vote for him over any progressive.
Dems do not care to “learn”. They do not want to help you. They do not want to undermine the capitalist empire. They aren’t hapless, they just don’t work for you.
Biden won the previous election (barely) because Trump’s incompetence was on full display and people were angry about it. It’ll happen again, but unfortunately, elections are pretty much done in the USA. Between fuckery and intimidation, we’re unlikely to see a ‘fair’ election until a major revolution occurs in the USA.

That’s why the Soviet Union is still around.

Your initial statement was false. I don’t care where you have decided to put the goalposts now.
Can we split the party now or are we gonna keep supporting a bunch of grifters
In order to split the party we need a strong group to gather around in opposition to the established liberal party. And unfortunately the trademarked Progressive Party™ is owned by insane people that no one wants to have anything to do with. So another name needs to be thought up.
Labour? The Worker’s Party? The People’s Party? The Raving Loony Nutbag Party?
Not really good excuses but I’m sure it’s the excuses they are using to justify changing nothing
The party is dead until they figure out a way to even the media landscape. Harris was a very good candidate with a good campaign relative to the binary alternative option.
But it doesn’t matter because Republicans control the narrative on everything and it doesn’t help that Democrats blow at messaging and recognizing the all-out war we’re in.
Wait. Do progressives seriously think that going fascist lite wasn’t the right thing to do in this last election? What the fuck are they smoking.
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
Presidential candidates raised $1.6 billion and spent over $1.3 billion
Fundraising is the goal of an election. Not the presidency.
Ok, “leader of Our Revolution”. If Democrats are a failure then form your own party and show Democrats how it’s done.
