That's also why these monsters want to stop truth being taught in schools so no one knows what truth looks like anymore.It's devastating among younger people who feel the old dinosaurs only care about themselves and keep telling them to not go full socialist.

They're in a no-win scenario. Go further left and maybe appease some young voters/progressive wing but get slaughtered by indies and others in a general election. Continue to float in centrist-land and kind of appeal to nobody in particular but maybe enough to at least be competitive?The country is beyond saving at this point.
I think most young people who can comprehend what's going on have left or are planning on leaving the country because they see what's coming and want no part of it.

Who knows. What's certain is that the party is hated nationwide, by virtually everyone, for various reasons. Trump single handedly destroyed the Democratic party.
And the Overton window has been slammed so far right that maybe it doesn't even matter.

Interesting. I do personally find it almost mystifying how anyone could go from Bernie to Trump, but I guess there's a logic to that for some people. May well be the case that you can only fight right-wing populism with left-wing populism.
But, at least here in the UK, the pessimistic side of me suspects that maybe there's no definitive majority for any single political strand, the electorate is just irremediably divided and split, as circumstances pit every group's interests against each other.
What we seem to end up with is a constantly shifting constellation of different political entrepreneurs, desperately trying to find a form of coalition and way of papering-over the differences, that actually works sufficiently to gain power. Made worse by the increasingly unfit-for-purpose FPTP electoral system.
Hey it's been weeks since this total bullshit lying MAGA level propaganda post of yours, and it's still not true.Most Democrats seem to have fallen in line behind Mamdani and it's just a handful of weirdos and the NYT who are being noisy about not supporting him, but some people just can't resist the allure of "Dems in Disarray" for that sweet social media clout.
It's also pretty weird to stay on Twitter or browse it after the white supremacist owner prominently made the AI super racist and antisemetic.
Imagine of Hillary ran again.
Fuck her, no more Clinton clones, no more AIPAC funded psychopaths who enable the Israeli genocide winning the primary (which Harris wouldn't have won if they had one last time). The base is mad as fuck and ain't buying into this neolib bullshit anymore. Burn the DNC to the fucking ground and turn it into a labor party again.
Gotta agree here. The current establishment is cooked. Younger and more progressive is what's going to win.Fuck her, no more Clinton clones, no more AIPAC funded psychopaths who enable the Israeli genocide winning the primary (which Harris wouldn't have won if they had one last time).

Hope Dems will one day try Mamdani's approach.
A new poll from a progressive research group that accurately predicted Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral primary victory found that his criticism of Israel resonated with an overwhelming majority of Democratic voters and may have helped mobilize a wave of first-time and younger supporters.
According to the post-primary survey of 531 voters conducted by Data for Progress, 78% of respondents agreed with Mamdani’s belief that Israel was committing genocide in Gaza, 79% support restricting weapons to Israel and 63% back his pledge to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he visits New York City, in compliance with the International Criminal Court’s arrest warrant...

True, but even to get meaningful gains in Congress in 26, I think you need new faces.Like two dozen Dems are going to want to run in the primary for 28 and we're not going to like most of them. I don't see any reason to get worked up at this point. It's too far out to be relevant.

I don't disagree with this and everybody above social security age should be drawing a primary challenge IMO.
