dang Chelsea looking old. not that that’s some sort of problem, just kinda surprising.

edit: I don’t have much faith in a leftist surge, even in 2020. the Bernie well has been thoroughly poisoned. I’ll still back my grandpa, but I’m pretty sure we lost the battle.

hopefully I’m dead wrong. often am

it’s v funny bcause all the clintonite bernie haters could say that hillary was so unpopular that any serious challenger would have gotten as much support as bernie (ignoring o malley and chaffee and the like), but of course they would never say that about Mother

I think the 2020 primary is going to be our big conversation about how we want the Democratic party to act going forward, and it's gonna be a hell of a thing.

But they just can't actually attack what that looks like, they keep hitting the russia thing over and over instead of showing the criminal nature of this whole goddamn oligarchy

I came to this realization a while back when I realized that what you would think would be the most radical, gently caress the status quo subforum counts the left as just a large a threat as the right.

the only hope has been and will be the giant mass of people completely checked out of politics somehow becoming engaged because i know from experience farting around dirty jersey and philly that they tend to be in the most precarious situations and have everything to gain and nothing to lose from giving socialism a try

The problem is most dems see Trump as an aberration in an otherwise mostly-solid system which would be humming along just fine if he hadn't been elected, regardless of whether they put that down to outside interference or not. They can't show the criminal nature of the oligarchy because most don't believe there actually is an oligarchy.

All that stuff will help, but the main reason Trump will win in 2020 is because he made the GOP the party of protecting American jobs, while the democrats are running on strong economic messages like
