Real talk: let's say Democrats actually went, "Ah shucks we failed and it was our responsibility." Would that really change anything?

I'm tired man. I don't care for apologies. I don't care for hour long speeches. Trump bullies his way through to get what he wants.

Mamdani (NY mayor) is taking action.

If it got them to stop running further to the right? Yes.

They're all in on the strategy of being less bad than their opponents, a strategy guaranteed to either not win elections, or win only a single term while letting fascists get stronger. Mamdani won despite their efforts, and until they embrace more people like him everywhere, things will only get worse.
