Oct 28, 2025This week began with the release of a report titled “Deciding to Win,” claiming to light the way “toward a common sense renewal of the Democratic Party.”
But the first mention of healthcare is so far from reality that the authors might have more accurately titled their report “Deciding to Lie.” The report declares that Medicare for All is in the category of “unpopular economic policies.” The claim is false. But it’s in sync with the corporate sensibilities and wishful thinking of party operatives like James Carville, whose praise of the document appears on its first page.
There seems to be a pretty large difference between a centrist voter and a centrist Democrat. Centrist Democrats tend to be more like a Republican in every way economically with some liberal social views at most.
In other words, the Dem leadership isn’t anywhere near accurately representative of the people and thus needs to be replaced by people who are as soon as possible.
And if you suggest that at all, the rest of .world says you hate America and want Trump to win.
“our shit sandwich has mustard! How dare you point out that it’s still a shit sandwich!”
“Not Dijon mustard, though. Gotta let ourselves be needlessly constrained by the baseless propaganda of the opposition!”
… what? What are you even talking about? All of the sentiment on here I’ve seen has been “primary the shit out of these fucks and then vote for the least bad in the general”. I think the only take that gets flak is “well, I’m not gonna vote for such-and-such in the general because we deserve better representation”, which just gives it to the greater evil.
Try calling out Newsom for his shit politics in any thread that has him, it’s a coin toss is they agree or say you’re a Russian bot for not liking a transphobe.
Yes
Those folks are well funded so they will not step away from power without a fight.
Yeah, it’s funny how the people with the most funding are the ones in charge and the people whose policies the majority agree with are constantly maligned as unhinged and impractical radicals!
It’s almost like the system itself (which the funded politicians revere with literally religious fervor) is undemocratic and inherently favors the moneyed elite over the will of the people in general 🤔
The DNC will fight anyone that plans to be the next FDR.
