It isn't about change.
I haven't heard bad stuff about Gavin Newsom. Did he turn corporate when I wasn't paying attention?
The great thing about the orange turd- gurgler, is that he's so bad, even the bad democrats might be popular enough to elect in enough numbers to have the majority to get things done - if our republic survives.
My thinking is that we need the dems that we can get into office, then work on replacing them with better ones, as we go. The moderates definitely need to go away... enough with the "meeting in the center," when the center is always moving to the right.
The voters need to have realistic expectations as well - we've been in decline since the '70s - it won't be fixed in 4 or 8 years, but nothing is going to be fixed at all, so long as corporations and billionaires are in charge.
Of course not. They can't accept that their most passionate base actually wants progressive platforms, not centrist pop pandering. Dems are too worried about being "safe" and trying to steal votes from conservative-centrists. If they actually showed bills and votes to invigorate the actual progressives, they just might get some loyal backing.
I highly recommend reading Ezra Klein's latest book "Abundance" for a look at why the DNC has been losing the working class. It also offers some optimistic ideas for moving forward.
Democrats are dumb enough to think that the main problem is that Americans won’t elect a woman, and won’t try a third time. Then they’ll find someone conservative and claim this is the only way to win over Republicans.
Friendly reminder that the goal behind posting memes like this is to instill a sense of cynicism and discourage political participation from people who hold progressive values. A key indicator here is the use of the nefarious-but-nebulous "they" which is commonly used in antisemitic-coded "globalist" or "cabal" conspiracy theories.
Democracy in America is unequal and unfair but the "deep state" the way conspiracy theorist portray it is simply not real.
