Individual people who are Democrats can be good people. The Democratic party has been asleep at the wheel when they're not ignoring the will of their constituents since mid-Obama and allowed us to slide into this disaster.
DNC bad, DNC suppress good democrats, and elevates bad ones. Lets figure out who the good ones are and empower them outside of the DNC.
I mean I remember back in 2008 when dailykos would frequently say “elect more democrats and better democrats”
The idea being that we could fix the dnc from within. Progressives just needed to vote for better Dems.
The dnc realized that they had a real hard time beating republicans in the general but boy oh boy could they whoop the progressives in the primary.
Blue dog dem, here’s the dnc gold card and the PIN code.
Progressive dem, we will spend any amount of money to keep you off the ballot.
And we see where it’s led us, the dnc is now good at one thing and one thing only, raising money for the dnc. Oodles and oodles and oodles of money and losing the nation to autocracy
Fully agree. They had their chance in 2016 to listen to the popular calls for bernie. Policies would have prevented this incredible rise of billionaires into the very seats of power we hold dearly. DNC needs to be completely replaced by new leaders. They need to be a democratic organization if they want to be called democrats. They make me sick. I hope we can get rid of them or force them to spend money on good candidates.
The DNC essentially handing Clinton the nomination was the height of hubris on both party's sides. Clinton for thinking she was owed the presidency and the DNC for purporting to be the more left leaning party while actively ignoring the majority of their voters to move farther right. In the nomination process the only vote that a member of the DNC leadership gets should be their vote in their precinct, but instead they get supervotes that are weightier than the aggregate votes of entire regions.
Fuck these blue posers and their rigged game. We gotta make our own party farther left - pro union, pro taxing the rich at at least 75% on income over $500k, pro actual healthcare paid for by taxes, pro social welfare programs paid for by taxes, pro environmental reclamation and ACTUAL green tech... you know, all those things that make sense and lead to a stable, productive country.
I'm really hoping a viable third party emerges and can get a large majority to end the rule of DNC RNC. If you build it they will come. Someones gotta step out and make it. Plenty of people willing to support it.
Asleep at the wheel is a nice way to put it while they are wearing eyeshades and earplugs.
