Honestly I agree with Bill that democrats need to ... let's say do a revision of their approach. Because whatever they did in the past years is clearly not working
You mean the “at least we’re not Republicans” approach? The problem with that is, they’d actually have to advocate for positive change. Things that benefit Americans. But that’s antithetical to liberalism, because it means being accountable to people rather than the wealthy ruling class.
Remember when Biden told big donors “nothing will fundamentally change” and then nothing fundamentally changed? Yeah, literally everyone who isn’t a billionaire is sick of that.
You don’t think Democrats advocated for any positive change?
I can think of at least a half dozen major initiatives cemented by legislation, and more that couldn’t pass Republican controlled congresses.
