That's what the voters have been trying to tell the DNC since 2016.
But the DNC's ears are plugged with corporate cash.
Ears? It's more like every orifice being plugged with corporate cash.
Really? Then why aren't there more progressives at every level of the Democrat party?
Maybe they should try telling Democrats at the voting booth.
Call me crazy, but I want an answer before 2028.
is trough leftism like a trough urinal?
No, it's where you share your oats, brother
New flavour of leftism just dropped. I personally am more of a piss leftist.
i think i'm a pissing outside sometimes leftist
Oh hell yeah! I totally support you guys trying that! I'm sure it'll work out perfectly for us!
I don't think that Democrats should turn away from their growing number of middle-class supporters in order to pivot to a platform that has no record of winning elections. The US economy is going to suffer over the next couple of years and the appeal of a "return to normalcy" party like the present-day Democrats will grow.
It's worth considering why the Democrats failed to persuade the majority of voters that electing Trump in 2024 would be (among other things) an economic disaster, but nonetheless it's going to be an economic disaster and voters won't be happy. I expect that Trumpism will have no political future if (and that's a big if) free elections are preserved.
When has a leftist campaign been run in earnest in a US election? Can’t remember any from the Dems in my lifetime, so I’m curious how it can have a record either way.
A good frame of reference would be FDR and the New Deal Coalition which dominated the electorate. They did basic social democracy and just kept winning.
