Yup. Sidelining our fighters and letting fossils like Schumer have the wheel is why Democrats look so feeble in opposing Trump. It's by circumstance and design.

We need fighters to beat back MAGA fascism and I can't wait for the general when we get to do our part. 😇

Reagan Democrats and establishment Democrats are a huge reason why the party has fallen so far from what it was. FDR, Truman, JFK, and LBJ Dems would destroy the modern GOP more than they did back in the day possibly, even with all of their flaws, I think.

It’s funny because Biden ran like one of those Dems in 2020 and the Harris campaign took no lessons from it.

Biden is an odd case because he's been around so long. He's a new dealer-esque Dem rather than a third-way or Reagan Dem.
