    In summary “continue to play by the rules of a system that is under the full control of fascists, and hope the world can hold out long enough to run another uninspired campaign helmed by an out of touch, centre-right millionaire”

    Was hoping for something a little more inspiring…

    Step 1. Replace the top Dem leadership that has shown time and time again now that they have no idea what they’re doing anymore.

    I’ve always felt that Warren was one of the few politicians who actually cared about making our lives better. This response of hers, however, is completely tone-deaf.

    Progressive ballot measures for things like higher min. wage and guaranteed sick leave are (and have always been) hugely popular. Dems must make these policies part of their platform and do a much better job on messaging.

    This means they need to stop pushing out progressives. The “I’m not Trump” and “Trump is a threat to democracy” appeals were never going to work. Give people a reason to vote for YOU. SHOW them how you’re going to make their lives better.

    Calling for an obstructionist policy while Trump holds office is fine, but it does nothing to help you win the next election. It’s time to reinvent the Democrat party into one that actually serves the working class and actually “un-rigs” the system against them.

      I still remember how she, with no chance of winning herself, fucked over Bernie to give the primary nomination to Biden. I’m good. She’s totally on board with corporate democrat fuckery whether or not she claims to be one. Progressives aren’t welcome in the modern right wing-lite party.

      We need to get money out of politics before the wealthy kill us all.

    I didn’t read it. Is it abolish the DNC and start over? If not, it’s not going to work.

      Remember this arrogant fucking moment, and how good you feel right now, when he puts you in a camp one day, dipshit.

        Dread and hystera, not arrogance. And not American.

        But this is the conclusion: if your country elected such a grotesque caricature of a man, the opposing party should just fucking quit in disgrace. People would rather have a fraud criminal pedo slime than them. When will they realize that?

          They won’t. It’s easier to blame someone else. In EU, even in shittier countries it is fairy normal for leadership to resign when they lose elections, especially so convincingly. And losing elections to fucking Trump should be a sign for everyone to fucking resign. But nope, they think they are irreplaceable.

          While I am absolutely aware that “voting for lesser of two evils” is a necessity, I do understand people who just couldn’t get bothered.

          It is appaling that what Democrats think is “left” is very much right in Europe. There is no left in USA, people with empathy have noone to vote for.

          You can only vote for billionaires.

          While I would always vote for Harris, if I was in the USA I would also be amazed at how scared Democrats are to say no to their sponsors.

          These are not elections. These are popularity contests and reality shows…
