And that is why there has been an intra party struggle (starting in 2016 with Bernie Sanders candidacy) to reorient the priorities of the party from fraternizing with corporate America, to truly serving the needs of everyday Americans, and that is why the struggle is intensifying.
Well that was the mistake the Democrats made. Thinking the "I'm better than Trump" argument would work. It has failed. Twice.
Well, that has failed twice. Will the DeMIDcrats make that decision again?
And that was the gamble the DeMIDcrats made. They told us a lot was at stake if Trump won. Why didn't they go the whole mile and do everything possible to convince regular people otherwise?
You know they're full of shyt, and you held your nose to vote for them. Some voters aren't that cynical, and actually vote their conscience. If the DeMIDcrats can't realize that, they're equally culpable in this experiment of American Democracy ending.
Then again, I wouldn't expect much of a party where many of it's members, including the leader of the DeMIDcrats in the house, voted to memorialize Charlie Kirk. They clearly don't give a fukk about Democracy
Well. There's an opportunity for the next Democratic candidate to do something wonderful then ...
But you just admitted that they did! Otherwise, why are you typing this long ass post?
If voters were not "dirty mack'd" away from Kamala, why did she lose?
And what is the issue with pointing out the flaws in the Democrats? You literally did this in your second paragraph.
Yeah, no shyt. It's not just about ending support of an apartheid state. It's about ending corporate influence in our politics. It's about tangible benefits for everyday Americans like healthcare. It's about rebuilding our infrastructure and proofing ourselves against climate change. The list goes on.
I'm speaking more from the perspective of the Democrats but if the Green Party "spoils" enough elections then a reasonable party will look to adopt some pillars of said party in order to woo some voters over.
This is ignoring the point that if you assigned all Green Party votes to Kamala she still would have lost.
And most importantly, I'll just borrow a phrase of yours
Expressing outrage at Trump's depravity is not enough! They need to sell a reason for Americans to care! People dying because of Trump is not enough for Americans to care!
And this has actually been proven, TWICE!
And the number one person who needs to hear what you just said, is Kamala. In case her dumb ass feels the need to run again. She needs to convince regular people like the single Midwestern mom of three that her campaign is not simply a doorstop against aggressive Republican retardation, but a pathway to true socioeconomic progress at home at least.
And, she didn't.
That is why we are here. Because of Kamala's choice to shed any principled stance and play the poll tested game. Her strategy backfired, massively. Good riddance to her and her style of politics. Hoping the likes of Newsome get the message.
