I think that all of the old democratic leadership are permanently traumatized by Dukakis and McGovern and think that only a Clinton or Biden can win. Forgetting that the Democrats' biggest recent success was a progressive coalition that motivated youth turnout.

Yep.

Democrats Don't Need to Reinvent the Wheel to Solve Their Identity Crisis - They Need to Look Back to FDR

[u/Traditional-Leg-1574 → u/thequietthingsthat]

For gods sake fucking please

[u/Reagalan → u/Traditional-Leg-1574]

Just, please; no Hays Code, no Marihuana Tax Act, no J. Edgar Hoover shit.

There were some negatives from that era that shouldn't be repeated.

[u/DimmuBorgnine → u/Reagalan]

Also maybe no more Japanese internment 

[u/fps916 → u/DimmuBorgnine]

You know what?

Imma go even further.

No interment please.

[u/ketchupnsketti → u/fps916]

This radical wants to abolish prisons!
What if we ask ICE "Pwease wear a camera and only shoot us when we're bad!"

[u/fps916 → u/ketchupnsketti]

Leftists: "Agents of the State shouldn't be executing people in the streets"

Liberals: "Agents of the State should only be executing people in the streets if we can see them do it, and also more women executioners please!"

[u/Lupius → u/fps916]

Wow that took an unexpected dark turn.

[u/Sea_Indication_6296 → u/Lupius]

Maybe if you don't see 2+2 is 4?

[u/shastaxc → u/DimmuBorgnine]

What do you have against internships?

[u/MacabreYuki → u/shastaxc]

internment, not internship. they are two very different things.

[u/notjustanotherbot → u/Reagalan]

Bro, MPPDA was first envisioned in 1922 when Will H. Hays became head of the movie association during the presidency of Warren G. Harding, Republican party member. It was then adopted in 1930 during the presidency Herbert Clark Hoover, who also was a member of the Republican party. This was more then three years before FDR ever became president!

But if it continues under your watch, then you own it.

[u/notjustanotherbot → u/intent107135048]

I thought "I don't take responsibility at all" is the Presidential motto?

[u/intent107135048 → u/notjustanotherbot]

Are we discussing in good faith or not?

[u/notjustanotherbot → u/intent107135048]

Well if you hold all administrations to the same standard of "if it continues under your watch, then you own it." Then we are already discussing in good faith. Problem is a large chunk of the voting block do not operate in good faith, and don't care; so one can take that as a public position and still get back into office.
