"As we plunge headlong into another catastrophic war, Sen. Schumer and Rep. Jeffries’ throat-clearing and process critique only serves Trump and the war machine."
The DNC and Democratic Leadership must go, this party is dead.
Bernie is tired, man. He doesn’t want another presidential run. He would gladly pass off the torch if anyone was ready to take it from him.
The generation of DemSocs that he raised are doing good things, but they’re still young politically speaking. There’s still a lot of good they can do from their positions in congress and local offices while they establish themselves in their political careers and expand the influence of the DSA.
Give them time. Many of them don’t even meet the 35 y.o. age requirement to run for president yet. And even if they do, their track record isn’t long enough yet to be taken seriously by the mainstream.
Bernie established a movement, and it will take time to mature. Be patient. Nothing happens overnight, and if you’re expecting immediate perfection you will always be disappointed. Learn to settle for incremental change and gradual progress, otherwise you may end up doing damage that sets us even further back.
I think a lot of people misunderstood my post. You included. I never said he should run again. I said he should start a new party.
He could start a party with his backing and promote the next generation of democratic socialist. Sadly, he doesn’t and is going to die and leave a massive hole in the momentum and influence he has.
The only one close is AoC and I don’t think she is even close to having the momentum to actually disconnect from the Democratic party.
But if Bernie endorsed her for a presidential run until a newly formed party. So many Americans would jump on board that train.
