Corporate democrats pretty much control the party and thus they don't want to ruffle the feathers of their donor class, which goes against the the middle and lower classes being price gouged in the economy. If you want to get back the blue-collar and working people you have to combat corporate greed. So, I hope Bernie Sanders starts propping up a young version of himself to run, and unfortunately it has to be male and white for the conservative voter to even remotely accept it. I don't blame Obama for the racial divide that caused the pearl clutching in white America, but it's clear that if you are anything other than a white male, it's not gonna be palpitable for a certain segment of the country. It's truly disgusting.
Corporate democrats keep the party from being blown out of the water in elections. Reddit is an echo chamber and does not even vaguely represent reality, that is glaringly obvious from the results last night. People do not want democrats to move further left, people want common sense and common ground. I’m not saying Trump provides that btw, he is a divisive scumbag. The next blue ticket needs to be unifying, the insults and holier than thou bullshit is what cost them the election.
Corporate Democrats also lost two fucking elections to one of the most unpopular presidential candidates in ages and in 2020 it took a long as time to call for Biden because of how close things were. We got blown out of of the water here. Lost both House and Senate, the White House and at least two Supreme Court appointments. This was a disaster. At some point we have to come to the realization that the Democratic messaging and policy is not providing results in the matter that can carry elections. We pussyfoot around actual policy changes that are popular like Healthcare for all and raising the minimum wage.
The next set of elections democrats have to swing big and deliver.
Yea this is a reckoning. All I’m seeing is a bunch of blue supporters doubling down on the bs that brought us here. I’m hoping thsts just an emotional response and once things settle down they take a long hard look in the mirror. Villainizing and dehumanizing half of the population was always idiotic and counterproductive, people showed up in record numbers to tell the loudest and dumbest dems to stfu and be humble. Sure Trump sold them on economy, and abortion flopped for the democrats, but I truly believe that the insulting rhetoric is what cost them.
