Democratic Party struggling to find a new direction
Here, I can help:

Just retire already. I still regret my vote for him.
You’re getting downvoted but your comment prompts a thought. Would trump 2020 be as dangerous as 2024 trump? The time spent planning and organizing on their part has led to an extremely quick response in destroying this country compared to what happened in his 1st term
If Democrats were the opposition party during the genocide you wouldn’t get online liberals justifying it and ridiculing anyone opposed to it. The Democrats would have probably won in 2024 too.
Yea thank allah we got trump in there now. He will find a place for the palestinians. Somewhere near Trump hotel. They will be the foundation of his Christian Empire in the middle east. Inshallah.
At least you’re honest about what you stand for.
I’ve been saying this and it’s an unpopular opinion… it honestly would have been better if Trump had just won in 2020.
Yes, COVID would have continued to be a disaster but we wouldn’t have the J6 experience, he would still have a few of the old guard people keeping him in check, and he wouldn’t have Elon Musk on board with him.
Most importantly: he would be blamed for the post-COVID shit that was his fault, rather than Biden taking the heat for not fixing the disaster Trump left him. The selective amnesia that settled over half the population from 2021-2024 would not have happened.
And we would be fucking done with Trump by now. My god, imagine that. He flies away on Jan 20, 2025 and we never have to hear from him ever again. Wouldn’t that be heaven?
Fuck. Off. Grandpa.
They must be saving Hillary for when things get really bad
Michael Dukakis is their ace in the hole.
I mean if Trump were to attempt to run for president again, I’m sure the Dems would put Obama on the ticket with the same reasoning for a third term.
Plan A was Jimmy Carter but alas
I mean, I wouldn’t mind some Hillary right now.
^~not an endoresement~^
The fuck would you want some sort of that even handed well educated steady hand at the wheel?
Why the fuck would you want that? Compared to now? Cause GeNoCiDe?
^~not an endoresement~^
You forgot to turn off the signature when you switched sock puppet accounts
Whu???
JiLl StEiN 2028!!!1
\s
yea sure more of the old stuff should help
Bernie and AOC are the new direction. Biden wants back in to stop them. Fuck Biden!
Make no mistake:
This is not “help.” This is the neoliberal fascist collaborator backlash against help.
Oh my fuck.
get out
get the fuck out, Biden
You lost the whole show, you simple fuck. You handed the republic to the fascists. You did NOTHING to stop them. You shook his fucking hand and gave him tea. You couldn’t campaign to save your own fucking life, and your meddling played a major role in your successor failing (though Harris does not get a pass here either). If I never see your name - or the Clinton name, for that matter - ever again in my life, it’ll be too soon.
No, no. It’s worse. They did more than nothing. They specifically held back from prosecuting him because they wanted to run against trump. So Biden could attempt to stay in power by saying “oh it has to be me I’m the only one who’s beaten him.”
Do we have proof or is this conjecture that fits what we can observe?
It’s been a while and searching for old news including the words Biden and trump is basically impossible, but I do remember seeing a like DOJ memo or something to hold off on persecuting. While it did not say the reason I listed above, I can’t imagine much other reason to do so and it’s not like they’ll come out and admit it was for that reason.
Edit: and post I remember commenting on about it two months ago was deleted from politics…. so… can’t find it that way.
Thanks for the added context. If they did intentionally delay prosecution (plausible considering how much time they had to do it but didn’t) then that’s pretty hard to excuse regardless of the reason.
The hubris is just absolutely infuriating
It’s not hubris though. They know what they are doing and they don’t care because they won’t be the ones hurt by it. They would legitimately rather Trump be president than win by having to adopt any kind of actually progressive policy. This is what all of their actions have shown us. Don’t give them a pass for incompetence, they are just as culpable for the situation we find ourselves in today.
Agreed.
It’s wild that Biden’s arrogance and conceit was a more important concern than winning the election. Everyone around him knew his brain was fucked.
He’s probably more like a young child emotionally right now from mental decline, shouldnt have been allowed to be president.
Fuck off Joe!
Anyone over the age of 55 needs to be in an advisory role, not a leadership role. It is literally the same fucking leadership today as it was 20 years ago.
RETIRE YOU OLD FUCKS
It honestly feels like the Democratic Party is doing everything they can to lose.
They already have chosen a new direction.
Unsurprisingly and in their tone-deaf character they have chosen the worst option.
“embrace patriotism” ban far-left candidate questionnaires and refuse to participate in forums that create ideological purity tests” , etc… I really hope this wakes up people to vote 3rd party, they do not represent working class people and never have.I’d rather it was someone else. AOC. Bernie. Anyone in that vein.
But if he’ll get the Dems to rally and DO SOMETHING? Fuck it. Give it a try. Maybe it will work.
What fundraising is he referring to though??
Midterms.
Governance is a thing of the past, it’s all campaigning all the time now. Why do you think they fail so hard to accomplish anything? If they actually fix things they have to find something new to run on. It’s like studios who focus on sequels and reboots, it’s a known quantity. They know people will show up for those platform positions, so they don’t want to remove them as an option.
Yeah I’m in the same boat. Progressives are helping each other and clearly nobody learned from their mistakes last election by nonstop dissing Biden.
It would almost appear they have doubled down on dissing Biden non-stop. Like its the only way they can cope with their lack of political action. Not sure how Trump pulling all restraint from Isreal and providing them with more money than ever is pro-palestine, but you’d think that crowd won the election by not voting or something.
30,000+ people showed up today for the Bernie/AOC rally today in Colorado.
If only there was a way forward…… Says the Democrats
Bernie the sheep dog is not the way forward.
Can’t even bring himself to say the world genocide.
That horrible regime party can’t be fixed.
As long as Americans don’t vote 3rd party they get what they deserve.Bernie is 3rd party…
He’s a sheepdog for the dems.
And whatever he is, he’s certainly no alternative.His main motive was the oppose Trump because Trump was the greater evil.
The DNC knows Bernie wasn’t petty enough to try and split the vote like Trump threatened to do to the RNC.
He has a carreer of sheepdogging long before Trump.
Is this supposed to say something?
As long as you hyperfixate on a single issue that’s over there, it’ll be hard to win over here.
It is only genocide, no biggie. It is not like Palestinians are people.
Just remember this the next time you wonder why certain demographics don’t want to vote Democratic anymore. Someone’s single issue is another’s family and friends.
By your logic why “hyperfixate” on anything? The environment, democracy, human rights and so on, are each a single issue. By the looks of it [some in] the Democratic Party aren’t stopping at abandoning Palestinians either: Gavin Newsom breaks with Democrats on trans athletes in sports. “It is a single issue, don’t hyperfixate on it”, will be the rallying cry in 2028 I’m sure.
The USAID that used to feed Gaza is gone, nothing is coming into replace it. People are going to starve to death. Not that you cared about that. Doesn’t run with your narrative. Just like hamas stealing the USAID to sell back to starving palestinians. Doesn’t fit the narrative.
If you understood how government worked and cared about palestine you’d be VOTING for a senator and house rep who will defund isreal. But noooooo lets not have any strategic goals in mind when elections come around. Lets virtue signal and seethe and concrete the genocide you’re screetching about.
Israel is intentionally blocking aid into Gaza. Hamas has nothing to do with it. The termination of USAID also has nothing to do with it. Aid trucks are stuck at the border not allowed in.
FYI I voted for Jill Stein. No Democrat, at least on my ballot was going to defund Israel.
Edit: I missed adding that the Biden administration already cut funding to the UNRWA, so starving Palestinians is bipartisan:
Oh. You voted for a different Putin puppet whose party has made no attempt to run a real campaign in the US and clearly (and vocally) had no intent on winning. Very helpful.
EDIT: Oh. I see that you are a tankie from the grad. Bad faith to be expected.
A few things:
- Neither major party was opposed to the genocide or had any intention of stopping it.
- You could add all third-party votes, not just Stein’s, and Harris would still lose to Trump. That is if you assume that Kennedy and Oliver too stole votes from Harris.
- Criticizing an Arab for voting for a Jew is peak antisemitism.
- Anyone I don’t like is a Putin puppet. Harris is also a Putin puppet. How else would you explain her purposefully choosing to throw away the election?
The president does not authorize spending. He just executes the spending. Congress has power of purse, they are the only ones that can cut funding for Isreal. Which i fully support. I would be happy to cut aid to isreal and increase aid to palestine. Happy to help protect palestinian land from Isreali encroachment. I am an ally you are alienating with your harsh views. We probably agree on a lot of things that would benefit palestine. I think without a practical method to acheive them you will never see your goals fullfilled politically.
Mostly because you voted third party for president not knowing that you meant to vote for congress.
It’s not a single issue, he is also a warmonger and cheerleader for all the US wars among other things.
Or do you mean everyone should just ignore al that inconvenient horrible stuff bcs that’s somewhere else and doesn’t affect them personally?
The true lib way.
Support alternatives to FPTP first
Bernie isn’t what I would call a spring chicken
It would be nice to have someone who doesn’t look like they are going to die any second.
LOL, Dems, how about you prove you can do anything useful first, and then ask for money. You’re a disgrace.
You’re not prepaid cell phone service.
These comments smell tankie af
Biden is giving free money to the progressive party far in advance of the midterms, I say we lock in and join the parade.
Which progressive party would that be? Is there a viable progressive party? Is it in the room with us now?
DNC wants to tax the rich, fund everyone’s healthcare, ban lobbying, draw fair election maps, protect the rights of minorities, stop climate change, and protect the right to worship whatever you want.
If they had the authority to pass everything on their platform, if they had a trifecta and 60 senators for the first time since 1979 and a bunch of conservative SCOTUS judges croaked so we could replace them, then the USA would be further left than more than half of the EU.
DNC wants to
DNC says it wants to…
That’s something entirely different. When the Dems have had the votes, they didn’t deliver. Just like Trump, ignore the words, look at the actions.
They’ve literally done more than half of these things and Republicans make a career out of tearing it down at every opportunity.
Because locking in to biden worked so well last time… This is such a stupid idea it has to come from a republican.
We didn’t lock into Biden and that’s why we now have Trump.
How many times do we have to teach you this lesson, old man?
We didn’t lock into Biden and that’s why we now have Trump.
Are you implying Biden would have won?
WTF are you talking about? Biden wasn’t running in 2024.
🤦
Ah yes. Give money to the “progressive party” so it can do progressive things like funding ads for far right republicans in primaries:
Or backing “centrist” primary candidates against progressive candidates.
Very progressive. This amalgamation of rich people’s money and consultants is a great political ally.
Fuck yeah fund the opposition’s primary. Your article even explains why that strategy works so well.
If you don’t like how campaigns get financed, then I have some wonderful news! Democrats have in the past written many campaign finance laws including capping contributions per person effectively outlawing lobbying from 2003 to 2010 which was the basis of the Citizens United SCOTUS decision, which was also a 5:4 partisan decision.
Yeah look how well it’s worked. Far right nutjobs have totally not been normalized. Nope.
No matter how much you think far-right primarying conservatives in congressional districts normalizes the nutjobs, nothing holds a candle to electing the racist felon to POTUS two whole times.
If there were more competitive conservative primaries in 2024 like there were for democrats then we’d be in a different timeline rn.
Yeah you’re right, it’s nothing compared to helping Trump get elected.

Let’s see,
- ABC News article talking about how unprepared they were to face Trump (because they were expecting to face Rubio) and how much they underestimated his appeal
Clinton and the Democratic Party establishment repeatedly stressed Trump’s lack of political experience as a knock against him during the general election campaign, but nationwide, the electorate valued the ability to bring about change.
- Politico article about how shocking it was to the Clinton campaign that Trump won the RNC primaries
“I asked a Clinton staffer about this,” said Sullivan, who around that time briefly went online to research Irish double-citizenship out of her revulsion with the Republican nominee-to-be. “He said, ‘Well, you know, now we have to save the republic.’"
- A Salon article which cites a “wikileaks whistleblower” with a secret email addressed to no actual persons but the DNC just in general. Not even going to quote this one.
Did you have some kind of point to make here? It might help if two of your articles didn’t directly contradict the third.
Did you not read about the part where their plan was to boost the more extreme candidates in the primary to try to get the rest of them to move further right in hopes that it would make an easier opponent for them?
That they realized they screwed up after the fact doesn’t change that.
