        During the last election it was all “now is not the time to change course.”

        Well now we have over three years to re-tool the Democratic party into something that can win. But we still have people saying “Nooo we actually need Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi and all these useless benchwarmers to win.”

        No we fucking don’t. There is plenty of time to make change. Unless you don’t actually want change from these conservatives in all but name.

          “Nooo we actually need Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi and all these useless benchwarmers to win.”

          No one is saying this. It’s more like “Voters have not been voting for progressives. If democrats primary more progressives, democrats will lose elections as much as progressives do. We can’t afford to do that against Trump.”

            When potential voters are polled on their view of progressive policies, they support them. It’s only when they’re labeled as Democratic Party policies that they lose.

            Draw your own conclusions about whta the Democratic Party is contributing.

          During the last election it was all “now is not the time to change course.”

          It’s like that right now.

          The DNC complaining that other Democrats are trying to get more active people into positions of power. The chair made statements today or yesterday lamenting how he couldn’t punish his own people because they weren’t breaking any rules.

          It was a combination of foreign election influence, billionaire class and GOP propaganda. And in the end Trump won by 1.5%.

          Democrats can only do what the voters allow them to do. All the groups I mention above are actively trying to stop them.

            We gave them the means in 2020. They didn’t use it.

        Don’t talk trash about the party willing to compromise with fascists on the open-source federated social network. You might make someone think communism is a good idea.
