      Guys no calm down you gotta give them a break. They got really tired from doing nothing and had to take a nap before conceding the entire democratic system. They’re doing their best. Interpretation of that last bit left as an exercise to the reader.

    The Democratic party is dead. Hopefully progressives will become the new Democratic party. Or even more hopefully we will enact ranked-choice voting nation-wide.

    Be careful of how “people” (re: partisan entities) spin these polls declaring that voters are sour on the Democratic party. People arent angry at Democratic POLICIES, they are angry at Democratic weakness. Its about time, I’ve been screaming about for DECADES.

    If Dems turned it around, grew stainless steel spines and brass testicles, they would get enormous support from all Democratic voters, and most indies as well. But they have exhibited spineless weenie behavior for so long, that it has become their legacy and reputation, and voters are beyond sick of it. Despite screaming at Democratic leaders to fight back against the rise of the Far Right, they did literally nothing to resist it, and now we find our nation on the edge of enslavement by Russia and Sociopathic Oligarchs.

    Just because Americans are angry at Democrats for their fecklessness, doesn’t mean they support MAGA Treason.

    It’s like not standing for anything and sacrificing your party’s morals in the name of “compromise” isn’t a solid strategy
