My mad things haven’t changed in four years. It can be very frustrating indeed, but under the circumstances, I’d call that a win.

And if you look at it on a longer time scale, what we're doing isn't working.

More damage is caused than we can fix. So we're still moving backwards.

Like, let's say you're on a lifeboat in the middle of the ocean, and it springs a leak.

The fastest way to start getting the water out is bailing it out with your hands. But what if the water comes in faster?

Keep using your hands because it's removing water? Eventually the boat sinks.

Maybe you find a bucket, but you still have to continually use it or you sink, you'll never sleep and eventually you can't keep up.

So, you think for a second while the boat fills with water. And you shove stuff into the hole to plug the leak. You're still not done, because you have to bail out the water. But no more is coming in, you can do it slowly if you want.

In this analogy republicans are the leak. And bailing water out with our hands is Joe Biden.

Four years ago it was Biden, 8 years ago it was Clinton.

It's not a viable long term strategy. And there is zero reason to think 2028 will be different if we keep continuing as normal.

So again,

What’s your suggestion to make them listen to their base instead of chasing voters who have never voted D and just straight ticket vote R?

I've thought about, for over a decade now. Ever since Obama turned out to be far less progressive than he campaigned as.

I legitimately see no long term plan with a better chance to take the party left.

Tell the class what your plan is. How do we stop the leak?
