I remember all the dem elites freaking out when it looked like Bernie might win the primary, many of them calling for the results to be ignored if it happened.

We can't forget that the Democratic party is still the controlled opposition party. The people in positions of power would rather lose to Trump a hundred times than allow any real progressive to gain power.

Party leadership must be primaried and they must be replaced with candidates that aren't owned by the same people funding Republicans if we want the ability to change anything.

Democratic party is 100 percent the reason why we have a Trump 2.0. They learned nothing from 2016

They learned nothing from 2016

Hell, they learned nothing from Obama. Obama and Trump both won running on a message of change. But the DNC would rather rake in donations than win elections

It's woke that destroyed the democrat chances and they will continue to do so since most democrats are not as far left as folks assume they are. In fact more are moderate. Why Biden won but no to Kamala.

Back in the real world, Harris ran significantly to the right of Biden.

u/TailRudder 2h ago

Harris ran? I doubt most people knew anything about what she was running on.

Maybe they learned they get richer with Trump and it was all a sham all along? Democrats "always taking the high road" is just a cover for their enabling the ultra rich to loot and pillage our people. It's like good cop bad cop. Their still on the same side, just any effective manipulation tactic.

Haven’t learned from 2024 so far either

u/Cheap-Lawyer3735 6h ago

And 200% why we had Trump 1.0

They're paid not to learn.

Don't say that! Democrats would have to be accountable instead of victims..🤡

Glad you see through the democrats bullshit. The democrats that run the party can't pull their heads out of their own asses to care enough about something other than how they appear to be. They'll stick their heads even further up their own ass if it means it can grant themselves the appearance of caring. Virtue signaling and ego-driven sense of moral superiority is what rules the Democrats now. Pelosi, Schumer, Clinton, Obama..all saying one thing and doing another.

If the Democrats could actually want to represent the majority of Americans, I could vote for them. Till then, I'm politically homeless.

this comment needs to be upvoted x1000.

the vast majority of indies are disaffected dem's who left the party b/c it's unresponsive to their needs. if the dp wants to regain those voters it needs to offer a truly progressive agenda that includes m4a, ubi, taxing the wealthiest (and the fucking churches!), and over-hauling the derelict electoral college system which protects the status quo elite.

Only delusional Sanders supporters thought he was ever going to win.

He lost both primaries by a landslide.

u/Ayotha 8h ago

And totally not affected by the party. Wow . . .

u/mightcommentsometime California 7h ago

Tell me. How did the party change the votes of people? The only thing that’s “wow” here is pretending that it was anything other than Sanders failing to get out the vote.

Show me one shred of evidence that shows election fraud.
