      I understand that they probably don’t want to lock themselves into a timetable, but arranging a general strike without a date chosen seems like it is an uphill battle at best.

    It honestly feels like the Democratic Party is doing everything they can to lose.

    Dude’s figured out his legacy isn’t what he thought it would be and is trying to come back and “fix” it. Fucking horrible person for his entire adult life.

      I don’t think it’s that. I think he truly thinks he’s had a good career and fought the good fight. He’s so out of touch, but he wants to help because he heard there’s a problem. Probably don’t even understand how his help might not be a good thing.

        I think he wants to help out of self preservation, because he still sees himself tied to the democrat party. If it implodes immediately after he loses an election (arguably his loss as well as Kamala’s), it will tank his legacy. He will be a big part of why the party died.

        So sure, yeah he wants to help the democrats, in a round about way. Its hilarious he thinks he could help at all though, rather than hasten its implosion.

    No need for a new direction, right? Biden can run for president even if dead, and liberals would still vote for him.

    They already have chosen a new direction.
    Unsurprisingly and in their tone-deaf character they have chosen the worst option.
    “embrace patriotism” ban far-left candidate questionnaires and refuse to participate in forums that create ideological purity tests” , etc… I really hope this wakes up people to vote 3rd party, they do not represent working class people and never have.

    30,000+ people showed up today for the Bernie/AOC rally today in Colorado.

    If only there was a way forward…… Says the Democrats

      Bernie isn’t what I would call a spring chicken

      It would be nice to have someone who doesn’t look like they are going to die any second.

      Bernie the sheep dog is not the way forward.
      Can’t even bring himself to say the world genocide.
      That horrible regime party can’t be fixed.
      As long as Americans don’t vote 3rd party they get what they deserve.

        As long as you hyperfixate on a single issue that’s over there, it’ll be hard to win over here.

          It’s not a single issue, he is also a warmonger and cheerleader for all the US wars among other things.
          Or do you mean everyone should just ignore al that inconvenient horrible stuff bcs that’s somewhere else and doesn’t affect them personally?
          The true lib way.

    Yes please prop up the dead husk of Joe Biden on a stage like weekend at Bernie’s. That’ll really embolden the base.

    Bernie and AOC are the new direction. Biden wants back in to stop them. Fuck Biden!

    Make no mistake:

    This is not “help.” This is the neoliberal fascist collaborator backlash against help.

    LOL, Dems, how about you prove you can do anything useful first, and then ask for money. You’re a disgrace.

    You’re not prepaid cell phone service.

    We desperately need new blood in the Democratic party - people who understand how to actually work for working class voters and to communicate that and earn back people’s trust.

    Joe’s a good man, but his brand of ‘actions speak louder than words’ does NOT work in the Trump era.
