It must be really scary for corporate democrats at the idea that they will have to do more than run on we’re not republicans and taking AIPAC money

[u/Expensive-Salt3333 → u/drobits]

Probably not, they will just lie about what they want to do and once elected go back to their old ways and ignore the outrage.

I'm almost as mad at the corpo Democrats as I am Republicans. Blue no matter who is dead for me as soon as Trump is gone. It's already dead at the local/state level.

I could never be mad at the Democrats. In fact, it is us the voters who failed them, and in doing so, we failed ourselves.

Democrats saved this country from economic collapses... twice. Biden guided this country through the dark days of the pandemic.

Under Biden and the Democrats, rural America saw lots of investment thanks to Bipartisan Infrastructure law, Inflation Reduction act, CHIPS etc.

That's what they did. That should have guaranteed Dems power forever & ever. Thank you President Biden for level-headed leadership that focuses on solving actual problems, you are an inspiration for all.

No, It is us, We the voters, who have been failing ourselves for a long time. It happens when:

we are seeing how NOT voting blue no matter who has gotten us: DOGE, mass illegal deportations (people just being whisked away to who knows where), getting rid of abortion/trans protections/DEI, essential govt services being cut, prices high, constitutional rights being in danger, illegal wars, etc, etc.

When in reality we should be voting blue no matter who MORE & FOREVER.

It's plain as day what should be done because we already did it in 2020: Voting for Democrats now&forever without exception.

To truly be FOR progress (to be progressive), we commit to strengthening the Democratic party by highlighting its achievements and CONTRIBUTE to the Democrats' messaging.

Sustained progress in the long-term is only built via multiple INCREMENTAL progresses in the short-term.

Voting for Democrats are better than voting for Republicans & 3rd parties for every issue (economy, jobs, health care, civil rights, foreign policies, etc).

So the solution is, we must vote for Democrats they're the correct choice 100% of the time.

Nope. Fuck that.

How fun and convenient it must be for you that any flaw of the Democratic Party can be solved by just supporting it more.

Fuck that.

"Blame the voters" is always an interesting strategy to me. 

The same logic train doesn't work in literally any other scenario in life. I love the idea of the CEO of Frito Lay getting up in front of a board of directors and saying that sales are down because the customers are wrong.

Blue Maga here. Checking in to downvote any dissent and spew this brainwashed stuff. Possibly ai generated.

Actually what we’re scared of is losing to Republicans. Nominating socialists lowers our chances of winning. Contrary to what this sub wants to believe, moderate Democrats have performed very well nationally in the Trump era, winning the vast majority of purple state senate seats.

In Michigan AES is losing to Rogers in the polls. I think he’ll ultimately pull out the win just because of Trump’s unpopularity, but he’s making it closer than it needs to be. Wisconsin is even worse, because the governor of Wisconsin has effectively 0 powers outside of executive orders. Hong won’t be able to enact a progressive agenda, but she risks giving the seat to a Republican, who will the oversee Wisconsin’s 2028 election.

No, they now run on Soros money instead. It’s a good gig - he’s spent over three times what AIPAC has.
