Seriously, if you're going to get into politics, you're going to be fighting the Democrats and Republicans both if you're even an inch to the left of Mussolini. And what advantage would you have running as a (D)? In many states there is no plan for outreach, no infrastructure-- gently caress, my county party wasn't even talking to the local college democrat group.

There is no plan for rehabilitating the party's shady as gently caress reputation-- and why would they need to? They know they got the kind of dumbfuck that posts in D&D to support them no matter what, so what difference does it make whether or not you win?

If you're intending to run to grab your own stack, good on you, nothing matters so might as well fleece the rubes just as much as they are. If you're running because you actually think you can take the party over, maybe going back to D&D and staying there would be a good idea.

The whole Progressive view of history only made sense when combined with a Christian worldview. Absent faith in a divinity subtly guiding humanity towards a goal it's nonsense.

if you want things to change for the better and think it can be done with the Democratic Party, despite everything they've done for the past 40 years, you'd have a much more productive use of your time having somebody beat you a tack hammer.

As a matter of fact, that's the exact kind of circumstances required to be a democratic party primary voter sooo...

it literally worked exactly as they wanted it to last time (trump winning) so why wouldn't they do it again? they don't want to win, they never have, they never will.

I sure am glad that the democrats are going to spend a ton of time and effort elevating and normalizing a truly horrific and historically awful monster because they think that this will somehow help them win??

they're just going all in on "at least we aren't the other guy" as their only platform

in 2020 if the only difference was trump won, the dems would probably have some favorability going into 2022. i hate to pay even the tiniest compliment, but I think biden may have killed the dems by getting elected and letting everyone see their whole rear end

when they say "at least we aren't the other guy" they are telling the corporate voters: they won't freeze student loans and push for multiple stimulus checks.
