      To be clear to the naysayers: It’s not that we’re angry Bernie got fucked, it is what it is. We’ve just seen the writing on the wall SINCE he got screwed over.

      Also we’re a little angry.

      Oh, they were a joke long before that. In 2006, when we went from having a congress that rubber stamped everything Bush wanted to a congress that said they were displeased with Bush as they rubber stamped everything he wanted.

      This would imply years of (effectively) being out of power. Even if by some miracle you would win the presidential election, you would have no local infrastructure to build on. It would give the GOP effective power in many states for an another decade.

      On the other hand, look at how easy it was for Trump to completely hijack the GOP. That’s the model you should aim for.

        It’s pretty stupid to base your support of a party on what it used to be, not what it is now.

        Using your logic, you support the GOP because they elected Lincoln and ended slavery, right? It’s not like there’s been 160 years of history that might have changed it since, including things like the Southern Strategy and the “Moral Majority”, right?

    We’ve had several elections in recent memory where it’s been really clear that progressive Democrats win elections compared to centrists (mostly midterm elections but still). Somehow that lesson hasn’t stuck, and I wouldn’t be surprised if Harris’ defeat also doesn’t teach this lesson. At this point the old guard really just needs to die.

    People want change, GOP is offering it and people are eating it up. They just have no idea how incredibly stupid that version of change is.

      Yeah, when they find out that things like vaccines might be up for grabs they might be in for a real ride.

      The fact that it is even a POSSIBILITY is sheer insanity. If donvict had excess deaths during Covid [1], letting a dumbfuck loser like brainworms ban them would kill even more. This time it’d be kids as well as the very old, most likely. Needless, excess death.

      And that’s just the start on this loser’s notion of “change” that we might get…

      [1] A bit of a joke. The policy failures of donvict killed nearly half a million Americans.

      Monied interests wield their donor privilege to ensure these lessons are never learned nor discussed in media. This influence is so powerful, Harris campaign wasn’t even allowed to lie and pretend to be populist like Trump had been doing, in order to attempt to win the election. The donors must be appeased above all else.

      Personally, I think the Democrats are doomed to ratchet further into the grip of conservatism in perpetuity. But if you really want to reform the Dems instead, it has to start with significant campaign finance reform to end the legalized bribery.

            No, the historical socialists are dead and buried. You need to engage with the workers where they’re at, and where they’re at is “brainwashed by tears of anti communist propaganda to the point of pavlovian triggers”. Imo the least you can do is not use those specific words front and center.

              You envision the average American as an amalgamation of the various strains of thought in America averaged into one, but that’s not the case. People vary wildly in reception to Socialism, and being forthright and honest is important. They have been steadily growing, more rapidly than ever.

              I’m talking less about the executive branch than I am the legislative branch. Congress has been firmly in conservative control for over 30 years (I’m old enough to remember third way Democrats, Reagan Democrats and the moral majority), and without a change to FPTP voting, we’re going to be stuck with it veering further to the right.

        If we ever get that, there will be a new “that would be after” to replace it. If Democrats want to stop Republicans and are so worried about splitting the vote, maybe Democrats should abstain from running.

        They’re clearly not up to the task and would rather appease fascists here and abroad.

          Not really. What you’re asking for is for some unknown third party (like the Pacific Greens 😂😂😂) to pop up into place and immediately take the national reigns like a boss. That ain’t happening, bruv, otherwise it already would have. Ditching FPTP at least gives the average voter the opportunity to vote for different people (like Sanders not having to caucus with Democrats, or Working Families Party not having to caucus with Democrats, etc).

          Or you can sit back and vote third party in a defacto two party system. It’s worked well so far. 🤷🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

            And it only requires having people who are willing to pass it in office. Which isn’t ever going to happen. Which means it’s a great prerequisite that needs to be met before something you don’t want to happen.

              Perhaps in your state, but in Oregon, we can bring initiatives to the ballot through voter signatures. It’s how we got RCV in Multnomah county, and it’s how the (failed) Measure 117 landed on our ballot this year. Sadly, it was badly written and Oregon voters are gunshy after the (also horribly written and implemented) Measure 110 (narcotics decriminalization) got onto the ballot.

        That’s all well and good, if you want to lose elections for the foreseeable future.

        Because it takes a long, long time to build up a new party and have it actually win federal elections.

          Hating people is easy. Caring about them is (apparently) hard. Quicker, easier, more seductive is MAGA compared to being progressive.

            Totally, but MAGA took decades to sprout from a Tea Party seed, or further back even.

              I still call them teabaggers, or more appropriately, TeaBirchers, since what is now branded “MAGA” (eyeroll), and for a brief period of time called “teabaggers” [1], is the same warmed-over shit from the Birchers, basically.

              [1] Though they scream and lie about it now, they called themselves teabaggers. Some of them did not know about the sexual term, but I’m sure some did, and hoped to use it as a way they were going to be sexually dominating others and then laughing about it later. Once Maddow and others started openly mocking them for it, they figured it might not work out like they thought and then pretended the MEAN LIBERALS are the ones that called them this. I kept getting banned from Denver Post forums for calling them by their original name, because they had teabagging moderators.

    No shit?!

    The writing was on the wall when they ignored voters moving towards the Democratic Socialist. The money was more important.

    Populism is relatively easy, even when that populist is a fascist.

    How do you construct a worker’s party in a country where corporate bribery has been made legal and there is a class of billionaires ready and eager to squash any legitimate improvement to worker’s living conditions with their nearly unlimited power/capital? They literally own the means of state and media propaganda, and the means of state violence to protect our beloved economy from the society that exists in subservient subsistence to it.

    I vote blue out of harm reduction, but there’s no escape in the US without necessary complete governmental and economic collapse. It is too well corrupted into protecting capital over people. I think in the desire for perpetual stability for the sake of commerce/profit, something vital was simply discarded in the modern nation state model:

    The renewal that can only come from the collapse of the past.

            The leader of the Teamsters Union spoke at the modern day Nüremberg rally known as the RNC.

            While a lot of tribalist Democrats tend to equate any criticism of Dem leadership with trumpism, that might not be what’s happening this time 🤷

    While I wish them luck, the DNC is structured in a manner that retains power for those with the best ability to secure donations, and these donations come overwhelmingly from wealthy Capitalists. Moving the DNC to a more progressive platform has been the project of Bernie and the Squad for decades, and it seems to have little impact on the broader party line. The DNC isn’t really organized in a democratic manner, it operates more like a business.

    Workers should instead focus on rapidly expanding their own organizations, which does make a meaningful impact on policy adopted. If you have something to bring to the bargaining table, the DNC is more likely to play ball, but you have to make them do it.

      Better to make workers parties at local and state levels and try to get a foothold in the system. Force the Democrats to move left or get outta the way.

        The Greens have been trying to do that for decades, the system itself is hostile to outsider movements, and as such organizing outside the electoral system has more room to grow and more levers to push for change.

    I wonder if it’s just a bit of an overreaction to draw conclusions about the Democratic Party when the difference between Kamala and donvict is < 2%, the Democrats ran a VP after Biden dropped out very late in the election cycle without any primary, incumbents the world over are getting voted out, the candidate was a woman in a nation full of misogyny, AND people have this perception about inflation (that is mostly wrong).

    Anyone going to factor that in at all?

      Democrats also put themselves in a position where the only choice was a vp candidate who was the least popular candidate 4 years ago and only became VP because Biden promised a woman of color.

      Say it casually how Biden dropped out very late in the election cycle. He just decided to drop out. Not like the party forced him to drop out or anything. Got some wolves in the party it seems.

    Dems didn’t “lose” the working class. Misinformation overshadowed the message.

    There’s a lot the Dems can do for unions and working-class normal folks. But Kamala could have cured cancer with a touch and they wouldn’t have believed it because everything else they consume downplays the improving economy, security and stability under Biden so it was ultimately useless.

    Buckets of roubles on Facebook and X won this election.

      The Dems began bleeding the working class after Carter.

      The problem is that - outside of Obama in 2008 (who campaigned as left of Clinton), and Sanders in 2016 and 2020 - there have been almost ZERO efforts to court the increasingly jaded and apathetic working class voters who have to work harder and harder every cycle only to be disappointed by the candidate they believed in not following through with decreasingly attractive policy proposals.

      Again, she wasn’t TERRIBLE, and no matter how disconnected she was, she would have been > than 🍊… but her team had her trotting out LIZ CHENEY over allowing a Palestinian to speak on stage at the DNC.

      This idea that there was NOTHING she could have done to win over the small percentage of apathetic voters to push her over the edge is simply not true.

      The enthusiasm from the Democratic base disappeared shortly after the campaign backed off the sort of initial good decisions they started off with (like choosing Walz and letting him call Rs weird).

      …And then the overpaid completely disconnected party consultants just kept pushing her to move all the way to the right as much as she possibly could under the delusion that THIS time (like Clinton tried) we could get the R cultists to come out and vote for her… I mean they had a literal billionaire Mark Cuban excited for their candidacy.

        The DNC has completely abandoned the working class.

        Maybe you should try looking up Democrat’s voting history and their accomplishments for the working class before you make statements like this.

        Democrats are pro union. Biden was the first president in U.S. history to stand on a picket line with striking workers.

        And stupid Americans just decided to vote in the born rich billionaire that has openly stated he is anti-union and anti-worker rights. Democrats aren’t the problem. Stupid Americans are.

          Surely, this messaging is going to help your party from being seen as the out-of-touch party of “coastal elites”

          Also, the Democrats are one of the two most powerful capitalist political organizations in the world. They fight and organize for capital, not the working class and definitely not the working class outside the US.

            I’m not a politician. I don’t care about messaging. I’m stating the obvious. I don’t care how many feelings get hurt.

            People hold the Democrat party to this extremely high standard and think it’s their job to woo and coerce people to vote for them. That’s horse shit. It’s American’s responsibility to be good citizens and inform themselves responsibly and be adults by making intelligent decisions based on actual data.

            And anyone that’s actually done that knows that the better decision for average Americans is FAR AND AWAY the Democrat party.

            They fight and organize for capital, not the working class

            Their voting history proves you wrong.

            I’m tired of people expecting Democrats to be picture perfect while Republicans prance around talking about immigrants eating people’s pets and not being sexually attracted to M&M’s anymore because liberals ruined that for them and winning fucking elections by doing so.

            It’s fucking pathetic and it’s American’s fault for being stupid. Period.

      Yup.

      Everyone’s crying about the Democrat party, but they’re ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE better than the Republican party. Seriously, people need to stop whining and compare both party’s voting history and accomplishments. It’s not even a contest. Democrats get more done.

      The bottom line is the majority of Americans aren’t intelligent enough to navigate this new age of weaponized misinformation. That isn’t Democrat’s fault. All they can really do is try to weaponize misinformation to combat Republican’s misinformation. And that’s morally wrong. Probably the only way though.

      Stupid populace. Dark future.

    How would that even work? They are doing exactly what their owners donors want.

    Are they saying that rich people should want unions or that there needs to be other ways to fund politics?
