    Damage control for the party. People are accepting that the Dems are not possible to reform, and abandoning the party in droves. They’re trying to lure back reluctant reformists.

    Too little, too late. The reform attempts were last decade’s plans. We’re not going to follow capitalism to its grave.

      There’s a much simpler reason.

      CNN is hemorrhaging viewers. Bernie draws crowds. If you want people to tune in so advertisers think you’re useful you gotta find something to bring an audience.

      You mean you’re frustrated with the performative, but useless, Democratic opposition? (Like how Cory Booker saves his marathon speech for when it accomplishes nothing but good PR?)

      Or are you angered by the outright collaboration with fascist Republicans, like that time we needed them to vote against Trump and DOGE and force a government shutdown, but instead, gave Trump and DOGE everything they asked for?

      Agreed. They’re not even a ‘lesser’ evil at this point. They’re doing fascism too.

        Let’s see what rises from the ashes. The Dems aren’t worth supporting unless they get their shit together and start representing us, and evidence for that over the last 20 years is sparse. They are just Republicans without the racism.

    Bernie going around America to spout vague CEO language about “organizing” and “being smart”. Absolutely zero concrete plan.

    Prepare to be sheepdogged and told to vote Democrat in 2028.
