Yeah, bravely tried to beat Trump by ignoring their constituents, handwaving a genocide, kowtowing to corporate donors and trying to appeal to moderate Republicans who have been told non-stop for the past 40 years that Democrats are evil and out to destroy the country.
When your constituents want change and you campaign on keeping things the same, that's a colossal failure of party leadership, and it shouldn't be surprising that your voters will become disillusioned and stay home.
Since you don't know what it takes to win elections, keep it to yourself.
You have to decide between whatever brain-rot logic around electoralism has brought you to the place where you are and winning elections. You don't get to have both.
The dnc is controlled opposition. We have to get actual progressives elected at local levels and it’ll be a fucking process but it’ll eventually make the party actual opposition
We've been doing pretty good at that in Oregon in the Portland area especially, we got a fair few DSA people elected to the city council and to the state house in the last election. Although I doubt that will ever really convert the Dems into an actual progressive party, it's a lot more likely that the Democratic party dies with the rise of new progressive candidates and new progressive parties winning.
That’s awesome, it’s been like that in St. Louis too at the local level but can’t break past that. If a new party is what’s really needed though, then ideas need to get agreed and things need to become more centralized, I’m seeing like 50 different progressive parties lately and that fragmentation will get us no where
And until we get people willing to talk about who is controlling the dnc and why (the zionist) then the dnc will remain trapped in other peoples pockets fwith no conceivable end in sight.
Lots of people are trying but it's not so easy to do. Our voting system is geared to only allow two parties and any actual third party that starts to gain traction gets shut down by the people with money and existing power. I don't think it's strictly impossible but I also don't think we can realistically pull it off. We need a solution outside the existing hierarchy imo
Starting a new party is going to require current elected Democrats to leave the party and start a new one. It probably can't be done by just "lots of people" and has to be done with people who have serious clout.
