    Telling too that the Democratic leadership said after the fact that one of the reasons they lost was that they relied too much on small donators instead of billionaire donators. Disgusting

      Which of course means they’ve learned absolutely nothing, and we can look forward to more of the same awful messaging and misguided/corrupt representation next time.

      Dems need to be replaced with a new party, I know FPTP is a challenge but the alternatives are worse.

        as someone who has been a dem my whole life, I agree. I feel like my political party has completely failed me, but at least for now, it’s the strongest form of defense we have against Fascism in our country, so I’m kind of stuck here.

        I’d bet 20 bucks right now that the DNC will figure out some way to lose the midterms as well.

        I agree with replacing the Dems, but are you meaning to say the alternatives to FPTP are worse? FPTP is the reason we are in the situation we are in imo.

          Not at all, I’m saying the alternatives to not dismantling FPTP to enable new parties are worse. As in, we have got to get rid of it and elect an actual populist on the left, or the Dems and Repugs will bring about the end of the American empire through unbridled greed.

        Hate seeing this shit… “Democrats went way too far left with the pronouns stuff, so people overcorrected.”

        Fucking bullshit. They don’t know what “left” means anymore.
