Many democrats are on our side. Historically, traditionally the DNC AKA leadership absolutely isn’t. There have been some changes in recent history. And that’s good. But till there’s enough history to plot out a new pattern of behavior. We’d be fools to treat them as if they changed.
The biggest problem with the Democratic party for decades has been that they’re serving two masters. Lip-service to the voters to try and get their neoliberal candidates in office. But legislating largely for the major donors that took over funding the party once Reagan broke the unions. The DNC talks the talk. But atm are unable to walk the walk. I hope that changes soon. With each death and retirement, things look a little better for them.
Absolutely possible, though, less likely. He at least seems to show some introspection and ability to learn. But you’re not wrong to be wary of him considering his past stances.
Fetterman was always shit. Long before he was elected. Still better than memeht oz. But yes, AOC has significantly pushed back against neoliberal leadership. Not perfect by any means. But some small hope for future improvement as more like her get elected.
AOC and Mamdani are leadership? Did anyone tell them or the DNC that?
The closest we’re getting to a shell game here is painting with a broad brush and lumping them all into one shell. You’re never going to get the old guard out if you continue to make enemies of the ones actually working to do it.

Yeah, like three of them.
And the rest are fighting harder to stop Democrats who actually are on our side than they are against fascists: people like Mamdani and Platner.
Yep, but thankfully it looks like Mamdani and Platner might be changing the equation. Fingers crossed.
Platner could easily be Fetterman v2.

No one said they were. It’s a start. Not the end game.
Like AOC and Fetterman?

I really hope you’re not comparing AOC to Fetterman.

Everyone does. AOC and Mamdani literally are marching with us. It’s largely leadership that keeps anything from getting done or changing. Blame them.
we are? leadership is the dnc.
I agree. We largely agree. So I’m not sure what the disagreement is.

I was. Literally what I was talking about in the post you replied to before this. Did you reply to the wrong person?

Oh absolutely. If I’ve been unclear about anything. Absolutely fuck the DNC and it’s leadership.
The DNC does have a new Chairman.
