That was an excellent oped. Ibreally cant find any fault in it. The wet noodles running the party rihht now are a detriment to America. They simply are not up to the fight. They need to get in the mud or cease to be a party.

Luckily for us it should not matter. Days of free and fair elections are over. If you understand what that means please let people know. The sooner we can separate ourselves from the controlled opposition real opposition can emerge.

We are talking about a 30+ years project here. Governments die, ideas do not.

Not just them, anybody with fucking power. Where is the military right now? Theres a fucken coup happening in plain sight.

Easy answer: because they are led by centrists who stand for nothing much beyond being in the middle so something can get done. The very nature of centrism is to not be in favor of either side of a political spectrum. Everything is negotiable, lately even the current value of human life abroad, which will come back to our shores. Centrists sure as hell cant lead much of anywhere coherent, or win elections. They can be proud of something like an infrsatructure bill, and they feel like that should be enough to get voters to the polls for them. Its just not. Anything uncontroversial enough that the right wont object to is not going to animate the left either. They can't win on road-building and post office branch naming.

Parties need money to exist. Without voter funding from people and groups who want to get specific things done, the only funding they can get is from corporations who want dirty favors, so centrists inevitably become the dirty corporate favor party too. Or, "whores" if you will. Its whore or starve for these folks.

They're bought-out by capitol, just like the Trump Troop.

They certainly had a spine when standing up for Netanyahu.

The dems have no coherent message and strategy because they are an attempt to unify basically everything that isn't the far right under one banner. That means that different politicians under it, and different voters that vote for them, want fundamentally different things. Taking a firm, party-wide stance that satisfies the left wing of the party would risk driving off the segment that is just "conservatives that dont feel comfortable with how openly bigoted the republicans are", and vice versa. But trying to please everyone by committing to nothing and running on good vibes eventually results in people getting frustrated with voting for a party that doesn't advance what they want.

Money. They want money.

They're not spineless. They just have different values than you.

I was just asking a friend this last Friday. The party is led by out of touch boomers, backed by moneyed interests, and refuses to change. They'd rather not rock the boat or be the cause of a division in our society. Yet here we are, more divided than ever and growing by the day.

At least it wasn't by their hands?

Lmao because they are just as beholden to corporate money as the right

Because none of these scenarios happened on The West Wing so they have no idea what to do

because they're paid to be.
