I'm pretty convinced the DNC is constructed opposition at this point. There's no way they can be this bad by accident.

Fuck the DNC. I was a company man for the left..... But this election and post election period has basically destroyed my image of the DNC. It needs to be destroyed and rebuilt without influence by capitalism. We need a working class first party!

We need to get primary turnout way higher in order to replace the party composition. IIRC only like 10% of people vote in the primaries.

It is easier and more rewarding to just be a corrupt, greed-driven monster, than it is to put on a whole theater of opposition when the whole country barely cares about politics at all in the first place. She just wants to trade stocks and go on rum-drunk vacations. It's not as complicated, I think.

Fair, and probably correct.

I think you're correct, whenever it's time for a crucial and meaningful action they cave and let us down. They couldn't even even explain and cover Trump's crimes properly in the media. They didn't explain how tariffs work to the average american, they failed us on so many levels.
