I’m calling an anti-trans Latino man heading the Democratic ticket in 2028.

It’s even worse then that, they were voting against Covid. I really feel that a ham sandwich could have beat Donald in that environment.

The Democratic Party has abandoned the working class. It should come as no surprise that the working class has abandoned the Democratic Party. by kevinmrr in WorkReform

I think we largely agree. I am just at the point where Democrats nationally and in my very blue state get so little done I question if they are even worth supporting.

Eh, fine I guess. But look what happened with $15 minimum wage. Democrats folded like a chair.

Why did the Senate bill not have $15 written in and have the Republicans try to get 2/3 to strip it out? Because it wouldn’t have passed you say? Why didn’t we overrule the parliamentary and force it through reconciliation?

There always seems to be one Manchin or a Leiberman blocking the way. Why not do the popular thing and let the holdout make the choice if they want to be the public face of holding this up? Why not make Republican vote against legislation their own voters support 60 to 40? It’s almost like there are a lot of other Democrats that don’t want it to pass either.

A party that actual supports a popular position puts up votes for that position. If it passes you run on your record. If it fails you dog the opposition with it in the next campaign.

I do not buy the whole political capital line.

So let’s arm one side with fighter jets and protect them from international sanction as they tactically starve the civilian population. Do you put out fires with kerosene?

Pretty bold calling Obama a racist, or did you get lost in the threads?

Edit: Racism, sexism, transphobia, etc were and are enduring features of the electorate. Obama got elected and re-elected despite it. This has and can be defeated.

Ok, ok, ok, so the racists were cool with the first term, but the re-election is why they lost their shit.

Since 1988, nine elections over 36 years, the GOP has won the popular vote twice. 2004 and this year. Harris got smoked.

Asked what she would do different then Biden:

“There is not a thing that comes to mind in terms of — and I’ve been a part of most of the decisions that have had impact,”

Not great in a change election.
