Hopefully the republicans can go the way of the whigs, the democratic party can become the conservative party they so desperately want to be, and we can create an actual party on the left.

People have decided they want a quick death rather than a long, drawn out collapse. You want to change that, try fixing things.

If the DNC wants to continue to exist they need to give up on the idea of being the good conservative party. That’s why their base doesn’t show up. You can only be held hostage for so long before you just give up and let happen what will happen.

If they would actually pass real reform and genuinely try to make the lives of the worst off better, they’d never have to worry about the republicans again.

Clinton and Harris didn’t lose because they were women. They lost because their campaigns were broken.

Harris was sabotaged by Biden trying to cling to power despite not being fit for the job anymore and Clinton thought she had such a guaranteed win she didn’t even bother to try to counter her image as the career politician that was everything wrong with government at the time. They would have both still lost even if they were old rich white men.

And, before you say it, Biden only won because of the pandemic. If people hadn’t been dying in droves at the time, we would have already finished with Trump’s second term by now.

Yes, a ton of democrats are actually republicans.

Plus the one time it didn’t abjectly fail, it took a worldwide pandemic and mass death to happen. Their hubris is at a legendary level.

DNC leadership genuinely hate Bernie more than Trump.

It is very different. Just because you and Joe don’t understand it, doesn’t mean you can misrepresent it like that.

It is nothing at all like single payer. At best it’s a slightly less shitty insurance.

That’s not single payer.

They have never once voted on single payer.

ACA was never going to be single payer. Lieberman played the bad guy to kill the public option, but it was pretty obvious it was only there to be bargained out in the first place.

Single payer, on the other hand, was never even considered to be an option.

The tea party changed republicans by being belligerent assholes that refused to play along with old GOP leadership. I’m not sure that the left in the US has it in them to do that to the DNC.

Because they’re not really in opposition. They may not like the means, but they are fine with the eventual end results.

Personally, I don’t blame anyone being fooled. He has an army of social media cultists obfuscating reality for him without him even asking. It’s hard to see the truth when it’s drowned out by religious doctrine.

WWII was Hitler and friends going out and killing the neighbors. If he was just an asshole, the war wouldn’t have happened.

It’s not really republicans that we need to attract. It’s all the people the DNC abandoned in pursuit of the corporate dollar.

Perhaps if we had a candidate we didn’t have to hold our nose over, this all could have been avoided.

Trump, if anything, is much less smart than he appears. The guy managed to bankrupt a casino. That takes a special kind of stupid.

On the other hand, better they do nothing than actuality successfully fucking everything up.
