Something something enjoy your republican overlords for the rest of time.
Seriously what the fuck is the democratic party doing anymore. It seriously feels like the second Obama left they collectively forgot what the fuck they were doing.
The people running the show since Obama left are the ones that are still pissed he beat Hillary in 08.
Instead of reshaping the DNC, Obama ignored it and Hillary’s people have had a hold of it except the brief few months Donna Brazil got in. And since she went public with all the shit they’d been doing, we haven’t seen anything else for 8 years.
They know exactly what they’re doing won’t win elections.
They know exactly what will win elections instead.
But that’s not what fills their campaign coffers, so that’s not what we’ll get from them.
The goals of Dem voters and Dem leadership haven’t been aligned for decades.
Politicians should have to be able to publicly account for every single dollar in their bank accounts. Something tells me if we somehow could magically make that happen tomorrow there wouldn’t be a politician left.
The magical way is having won an election and spending the next 4 years passing legislation and letting people know every day that you are working towards it, showing results every day of every month until the end of mandate
But yeah for that you need to win an election first
I still remember when Donna Brazile destroyed her reputation and lost her job after getting caught leaking questions for a CNN event to the Hilary campaign. Isn’t she one of Hilary’s people?
Thank you so much for sharing this, this was exactly the kind of very credible (and wonderfully succinct) detail I needed to finally get some closure on 2016. I knew Hillary fucked us, goosed the whole party to try to force her way in.
In my opinion the ongoing failure of the Democrat party is significantly caused by this exact saga. I think this was the point many passionate people (like myself) were forced to realize “oh. The Democrats aren’t working for us either, the whole goddamn thing is rigged against all of us”, and there’s never been the same enthusiasm since.
When people blame Democrats-the-party-leadership, this is what I think of. Still infuriates me to this day, things could have been different. Now all these years later here we are, the “deplorables” she derided - people Bernie would have sincerely sought common ground with! - are well on their way to fascism.
Authoritarianism is oddly efficient in making decisions and having direction. Such are the perils of democracy… an opposition that embodies shared decision making and balance of power will often look slower, incompetent and out of touch…

Here’s where the tuna melt story came from

"Are there changes that we need to make? "
Man this is absolutely telling
These guys lost an election and are still dancing around the possibility that they might need to change tactics LMAO 🤣
They say at the end that the moment was viral but maybe viral for them is different than for the rest of us the blue collar workers

Dems just don’t look like it, they act the part too!
